Ornate Ceiling Fans

Upon moving in we were missing two ceiling fans and the remainder of the one's that remained and were not taken looked like this:

Gold and leafy and ornate is not really my thing. I could definitely be low maintenance and live with them but instead I thought I'd try and sell them on Craigslist!

We would've had to buy two new ones anyway and I was not about to buy one of those ugly things to match but didn't want mis-matched ceiling fans throughout the house either.

I went ahead and posted all 4 ceiling fans that we had on Craigslist...Any Takers?

We found someone to buy all four of them for $150...that's a whopping $150 bones in our pickets. First off...can you believe someone bought these? Second...can you believe they gave me $150 for them? I feel like I'm stealing money from people!

The new ceiling fans we bought were on sale for only $65 a piece! Neutral, effective, and cheap! That's a steal in and of itself. We were therefore out of pocket only $240 for all 6 ceiling fans! WHAT? Haha, I enjoy this so much!
 

Lovely Lancôme

Lancome Products are my Absolute Favorite.

Although I usually use cheaper makeup from Target or Walmart for my mascara, eyeliner, ect, I love Lancome's Duel Finish Versatile Powder!

It's the makeup survival kit used as a foundation. You can sponge on dry, over daytime moisturizer, for a soft matte effect (this is how I use it). It sponges on damp for a full-coverage, flawless matte finish or you can use it as a powder to puff on dry over any foundation. Although it costs almost $40 after tax, it lasts me between 5-7 months.


Here comes the good part! A few times a year Macy's does an awesome sale where you get several free Lancome products with the purchase of an item worth $35 or more. It's just my luck because Macy's sells this for $36.50.

Check out all I get for under $40!  In addition to my Duel Finish purchase, I also received the following (in bold are the ones I chose):
