Dollar Tree Mini Haul

Back at it again! 

So I have dropped in a few post that I'm a fan of Dollar Tree and I visit the store(s) at least once a week to see what new items they have. Here are some of the items that I have accumulated over the past 3 months from DT: 


1. 32 Count Stickers
Purchase these cuties to help decorate photo albums. I've been slacking on printing pics and organizing our 2 albums so hopefully this will give inspiration to get to work. These stickers have cute designs and saying like "Happiest Day" (purchased 3 packs). 

2. Close Up Flossers
... To help with oral hygiene.

3. Himalayan pink salt
I have heard through the grapevine and from a little research that pink salt is (somehow) better than regular table salt being the it is usually buried under ash and not exposed to the elements like other salts. Figured we'd give it a shot (purchased 2).

4. Feminine wipes
Took a chance on these wipe as the label says are similar to the Summer's Eve wipes...I am impressed because the scent is spot on and they are gentle (I went back and purchased multiples). 

5. Collapsible storage basket/box
We have lost a bit of closet space with moving. These storage baskets help us organize items that we store under the beds and in our cube in the living room. I purchased sizes C and D which are the largest I saw (purchased 9). You can also purchase sizes A and B in either brown (seen in the pic) or beige.

6. Essie nail stickers
Love Essie polish so figured I'd give the nail stickers a shot. Not a real fan of the style (it is black matte with black gloss zebra stripes) but figured I'd try them (purchased 3).. 

7. Gift bag
"Hello Beautiful" bag will actually be used as wall art in the little ones room. I'll either look for a frame that will fit it OR attempt to make a frame myself.

8. Adult coloring books
I have purchased like 6 of these total but saw some really cool ones while on the coast this summer. You can't beat an adult coloring book for a buck when they run about 12 dollars at other stores. 

9. Tumbler with straw
Another purchase from DT while on the coast. I hate the mini cups that you have in your hotel room so I decided to buy this cup to help with some type of insulation as well as enjoy more than a shot of coffee. 

What cool items have you recently purchased/spotted at Dollar Tree?

And don't worry, I have some more items to come that I have recently purchased and I am very excited to share!!!

Pick 6 - Summer '16


Fall is in full swing and I have yet to share my favorite items from Summer '16. 


Let's jump in!





Hair| Mango Butter 
In my opinion, this butter is pricey however, the smell and the fact that I can mix small amounts of it with my whipped shea butter mix to stretch it makes is worth it. It is also a very sleek butter.




Fashion| Sinful Colors  "Poisonberry"
I love love L♡VE this polish. I rarely polish my finger nails but this summer I used this color when I was feeling fancy. Sinful Colors is such a reasonably priced polish that [in my opinion] has great coverage; two coats and im good to go.





Beauty| Nicka K - True Matte "Millbrook"
I have never been big on lip colors because I feel like I could never find a color that looked decent on me. A co-worker introduced me to this beauty store brand. The color lasts for most of the day. My only con is that it leaves your lips feeling tacky after it dries... but just put gloss on top and you're good.





Skin| Charcoal mask
A Dollar Tree find from a few months ago; when I have those pamper moments to myself at night, I steal away in the bathroom to do my nails and put on this mask. It's creamy, doesn't dry too tight and doesn't leave your skin feeling dry when you remove it.





Accessories| Frames
I'm still obsessed with frames and keep a lookout for different types. I refuse to spend more that 10 bucks on them so my favorite places to go are beauty supply stores (I can usually buy 2 for 10). 









Random| Glad Angel Whispers air freshener
I originally lucked up on this fragrance at Dollar Tree and when I realized how awesome is smelled, went back and purchased ALL that were left. I later found out that this is in fact a popular smell and DT was not able to stock it again (whomp whomp). I do find this at other stores so all is not lost. Angel Whispers is a soft clean smell and can be placed in any room in the house. I love to have it in the little ones room and at work.
