Uneedasee

    This weekend is well celebrated in the U.S.  You have Thanksgiving, the official Holiday on Thursday, where family and friends come together, give thanks and enjoy a good meal.  Then the day after is known as Black Friday, typically the biggest shopping day of the year besides Cyber Monday.  I’m sitting in line, in fact, waiting to shop Black Friday deals at a big department store as I write this blog.  While all of these huge retailers have gotten hype over the years, small businesses have taken a backseat, fading away from the minds of consumers like you and me.  Yet, I really enjoy shopping small businesses whether local or online.  They are the backbone of our economy and even big businesses first started off small.  I feel like smaller companies take a personable approach to business, as they develop relationships with their customers.  What's better is if you shop locally, taxes from their business benefit your community and promote growth.

So I know that it is November, not September, but things have been so busy that the last three Self Health September videos never went up. I wanted to still share my experience so it would help others with their health journeys. The last fifteen days of the month were the most worth it for me, between getting over my food cravings to learning that I really like yoga. Soon I also learned the importance of not looking at the scale every day because muscle weighs more than fat. 

As every beauty lover will say, it's that time of the year!  The Sephora sale that matters!  Why?  Because if you're VIB Rouge or VIB, you get 20% off your purchase.  Of course, if you're a Beauty Insider, you get 15% off your purchase.  This runs until November 15, 2017.  Taking advantage of sales is just who I am.  I still cringe at the thought of buying a lot of things all at once, so the items I purchased from  Sephora  still is not as big of an amount as others.  I know!  I watch beauty gurus on YouTube who buy huge boxes full, probably totaling at least $500 or more.  Nope.  I can't do that...maybe one day.  I buy what satisfies me the most, whether it's needed or wanted.

Thursday's nights Fashion Show made this fall season really feel like spring again. The garments had so many bold colors and powerful messaging. Before the show even started we got to see more from designer Pamela Renee from Wednesday night. Pamela had one of her show stopping pieces on display and we personally loved talking to her about all of the great garments that she's shown. Barbara Bultman designs was also showing not only their jewelry but also some garments from previous collections. I really like that you get to see more of these designers off the runway and hands on, showing all of their items you can buy.  Here at Uneedasee we love supporting local businesses and artists alike. We got to see some of our local blogger friends such as Antonia Martin from St. Glow , Elizabeth from Blubaugh Blueprints , Alex from The Cheerful Closet , and Tiffany from New Dawn Boutique . Some of these ladies went to Friday and Saturday shows as well, so be sure to check out th
