LMLIM Week 2 | Airline tickets

Note, these are 1 way flights!!!

I found this tip very interesting because I'm in the market to purchasing some tickets to go home to The "D".  I've heard some tips and tricks before about the best way to find discounts for airline tickets but saw this tip and saved and decided that it was time to see if it works.  Whelp...at least at Southwest Airlines it didn't.  As you can see from the photo I checked the price at 9 AM EST and then again at 1 PM EST and prices were still the same.  I even cleared my cookies to make sure my browser didn't detect my previous search.  I'm one smart cookie!!!  But the price was still the same and a bit on the "I should be flying first class price" side!  GEESH.  Well if you know any good tips on how to save on airfare without hitching I'm all ears.

A special weekend edition of Livin It Up With The Curvy Momager

You all know I rarely post anything on the weekends BUT we aren't traveling so I have a little spare time.  I have news that I'm pretty excited about too!  Last year one of my Vision Board goals was to be in a magazine.  I didn't know what for, how it was going to happen or even if anyone would be interested but it was my goal.  In November I was fortunate enough to link up with someone from All You Magazine and VIOLA that accomplishment has been checked off.  It took a while for me to appear but this month (the May Issue) you will find me on page 111.  [Insert Saturday Night Fever dance emoji here]

Now before you go calling my momma and congratulating her it is just a small feature...featurette...hell they mentioned me but I'm elated.  When you put out those little nuggets in the universe they really do come back.  One pretty major piece too is, as I was reading Essence magazine last night I just happen to see an advertisement for All You Magazine.  Which means more people are finding out about the publication.  HOLLA!!!  Another nice piece is that it falls right into my format of Single Mama Dollas that you see on my blog occasionally AND my new segment Living My Life In Magazines.  SCORE!!! 

All You Magazine is sold at Walmart and Vons but you might find it in more areas.  Check their website!

 

Thanks All You, I hope we can work together again.  I really have a lot more people to reach with my message ya know!?!?!?

Moment In Life Monday | Sister Save A Lot

I had almost forgotten that my good girlfriend Antoinette Peterson was in this months’ Essence Magazine, yes with Gabi on the cover.  I was flipping through the pages and BAM her bright smiley face met me on page 108 in the Work & Wealth section.  Antoinette and I go waaaay back to when Erika and I started doing guest appearances on Cocktails and Conversation radio.  She was one of our first and most memorable guests.  At the time she had already stared on a coupon reality TV show, Extreme Couponing  and was developing her Sister Save A Lot brand.  At 32, she’s had a heck of a year!  I think this is her 3^rd magazine appearance of 2014 and at least  2 national TV spots featured her.  Hello Dr. Oz!!!  The most wonderful thing about her brand is that she not only is using it to teach families about saving at the grocery store but about living a more economical lifestyle or what I like to call Ballin’ on a Budget!  Although she and I are pretty tight I promise you I’ve got lots

to learn from her and thankfully she is a wealth of information.   Her advice on Holiday shopping really has me re-thinking my strategy of buying that $400 PlayStation 4 for The Phenom this year.  Besides only having about $200 on it I know there has to be some sort of deal out there.  Oh Antoinette……help a sista out!

Congratulations girl and thanks for sharing your Moment in Life with everyone!

Back to writing out my Christmas list,
