Love me or hate me for it, but I must remain true to who I am. With that, I would like to state that I support the 2nd Amendment; my right to bear arms. In light of recent tragedies, everyone seems to be pointing the finger at the weapon and not the men commiting the crimes. While I don't see a need in my life to own a machine gun and have a bullet belt strapped across my chest, I do own a gun for hunting purposes and plan on passing it down to my oldest son when he is old enough to head out to the woods and hunt as well.
While I am of sound mind and would not intentionally injure someone, I would have no problem using a gun or any other weapon for that matter to protect myself and my family. For my fellow Mom's out there, I'm sure you know what I mean when I say the Mama Bear comes out and you have no fear to go the limits to protect your children. Even if it involves shooting to kill an intruder. This is not my normal Tip Tuesday, product review or fashion blog posts, but after coming across this tshirt on Amazon, I decided to let you all know a different side to me outside of the girly topics you are all so use to. I would love to hear your thoughts on the 2nd Amendment. Please feel free to leave your comments below. Whether you agree or disagree is your right and I respect your decisions so please do the same by keeping any comments mature in demeanor. More girly things to come soon so don't you worry my fellow beauty/fashion friends. Now who else would rock this shirt? I know I would. I think it makes a great gift for others who feel the same way. Hmm...I just might do that. :)

Tip Tuesday: Get Creative With a Valentine's Day Present For Him
Need help with a last minute gift idea for your man?
I can help you with that. Most men aren't that picky when it comes to getting a present on Valentine's Day so a little effort usually goes a long way. Men are usually the ones that are worrying about finding the perfect gift for you!
I like to call it the RE-UP box. Simply buy things he uses everyday that he would definitely repurchase. Buy items like his favorite deodorant, cologne, styling products and even razors. If he buys the regular cheap razors, give him a treat and buy him a nice one. Package them up in a cute decorative box and some tissue paper and you are good to go!
This is a perfect idea for your husband and even safe for the couple that just got into a relationship not to long ago and are celebrating their first Valentine's Day. I hope this Tip Tuesday has been helpful and I'll be back soon with some DIY tutorials. Yay!

So, what are you waiting for? Good luck everyone! Don't forget to let me know if you win anything. :)

Target Style Free Seasonal Beauty Bags No More?!
So, I heard a rumor that Target Style was no longer going to be offering the free seasonal beauty bags that they would give away on their Facebook page. I decided to ask them myself. Unfortunately, they have confirmed that the last and final beauty bag was the one offered for the Fall (October 2012). That's too bad because they had some wonderful samples in those mini makeup bags, plus it was FREE! lol
Click here to see what was inside my FREE Summer Beauty Bag from Target Style.
That's too bad that they stopped, but offers must end sometime right? In my opinion, they should keep things like that in place and forego having high-end brands with high-end price tags in the store. If you ask me, I think the Neiman Marcus collection was a big fail. Yes, the items were beautiful, but I don't know anyone that would have paid $50 for 4 Christmas bulbs for their tree just because they were from Neiman Marcus. When I shop at Target, it's to bargain shop. That's why we love Target right? Just my opinion.
Well, hopefully they will have something else exciting in the works soon. If so, as soon as I find out, I will be blogging to you all about it of course. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day! :)

Tip Tuesday: Saving Money Isn't Always the Best Option? Say What?!
If you're like me, you are really into bargain shopping. But be careful. Depending on what it is, saving now could cost you later. For instance, if you are having repairs done on your house you want to go with the person who is going to do the best job for the price. That doesn't mean, get estimates and take the cheapest one. Do your research or beware.
Take for instance my situation. I am currently a renter and have no say or control over the "upgrades" that take place inside and outside of my home. They recently replaced the siding, windows and doors with energy efficient ones. I am grateful for the new look because it is a wonderful improvement. The problem is, they went with the lowest bid for the job. The work isn't fully completed and there are huge nails all over my lawn. Let's not forget the cigarette butts and empty packs that I've had to pick up as well. One of them tried smoking in my house while putting on the new front door! Um...no! He got really upset when I told him he needed to step outside.
Long story short, get references by looking online. Even better, get referrals from friends who have used companies for services in the past. It will save you a lot of heartache later on and you are more likely to have clean and professional service from someone who cares about the quality of their work and reputation of the company.
I hope this Tip Tuesday (and kind of a venting session, lol) was helpful. Don't forget to visit my NEW Facebook page Mayday1101 (click here) and Like my page to get notified of new blog posts and Tip Tuesdays. Also, giveaways coming in the near future! Have a great day/night everyone!

First Impressions~Palmolive Fresh Infusions
I was so excited to open my mailbox to find a Brand Challenge box from Influenster inside. I was also excited when I opened the box to find my favorite brand of dish soap. I've used the classic Palmolive for years because I have sensitive hands, so I couldn't wait to try these products out as well. I was given 3 Palmolive Fresh Infusions scents to try in Lemon Thyme, Lime Basil and Ginger White Tea. I love the bottle design compared to the original. It seems so sleek and modern. I've decided to take Influenster up on this challenge and also take their recommendation to give one to a friend or family member to test out as well. I'll be passing one of these off to my Mom in a couple of days.
I of course had to smell all of them and they have great scents without being over-powering. My favorite scent has to be the Ginger White Tea. Just smelling it makes me think of the word clean. I've been a member of Influenster since March 2012 and absolutely love the community that is being built on their website. Check out Influenster (click here) for yourself because I'm sure you will love it! I should have a video coming up soon all about Influenster, Vox Box Challenges as well as Brand Challenges...oh and of course a First Impressions review of #PalmoliveFreshInfusions! :) But in the meantime, if you want to try some of this awesome dishsoap out for yourself, you can find them at your local Walmart.

Tip Tuesday: You Can Do It!
For all of those who have made New Year's resolutions, this is the week where many falter or lose ambition. Don't let that be you. Here are a few tips to help you stay on track, whatever your resolutions may be.
1. Evaluate the resolutions that you have made for yourself. Are they so complicated that they seem unattainable? Try breaking each resolution or goal into steps and work your way towards accomplishing it.
2. The Buddy System! Surround yourself with positive people who are working on things similar to your goals. You will find that you have more ambition to attain your goals if you surround yourself with positivity. The opposite will happen if you surround yourself with negativity.
3. This is the most important. Believe in yourself! You are stronger than you know and you can achieve anything with hard work and dedication!
Remember...You Can Do It!
