I am back to my budget. I know I have had some setbacks, but I am 98% sure I will still make my goals for the year. I was able to barely squeek up the savings bar and the car bar. We are working with the original $600 this month so we shall see. Well now I have $540 left but keep reading, LOL.
We did not plan on getting a home but since we have been good with finances and debt, we are in a good position to get one (we found one but its a short sale so we will see how this pans out, lord willing it will be quick and smooth). If it takes too long to close, we will move on.All the homes we love seem to be short sales, its almost no avoiding it. Kinda sad at the same time. We seen homes that were beautiful outside, but left in shambles inside from people vacating, leaving personal belongings behind. None of em ever left that stainless steel reefer though, LOL.
We did not know we qualified for the tax credit because we did own a while ago, but we do so who wants to miss out on $8000 right. That means that I may be a lil short on my freedom fund goals because we may have to pay closing costs, but no biggie I guess, this particular deal we didn't ask for any money because it can potentially be such a sweet deal. The fund will still be plenty stacked though with diligence on our part. I am actually getting all into decorating again, buying books and magazines, imagining what "home" will be like.
I also wanted to let you all know that sephora already got me for $60. The Calvin Klein palette is something that I had my eye on when it was featured in Allure way back when so I was glad to get that. I also threw in some other new items from their sale section. As you can see, I also signed up for the Bare Minerals sample, is it any good?

Alright all, take care. Did Sephora get yall for anything this month?
ps. for mac fall trend collection, i am only getting the quad (not feeling the lightest shade though) and probably the fragrance.
i have been doing well kinda. i have ordered 5 of those nail polishes (i love em, so rich and creamy) that came out and the photorealism quad from 2 or 3 collections ago.
i have been very curious about mac style black but i dont think i would actually wear the colors so we shall see on that one.
what have you all been buying?
***and will be posting that video later today or tomorrow so stay on the lookout. it has been a loooong time huh?
