Tuesday 4 - Brands or Not?

 

Brands or Not??

 Welcome to another of Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 and this week we will use one from November of 2018...

1.   Food: ~ Do you buy brand names or go for the cheaper store name brand? - I have no issues with non brand names, depending on the food! I love Cheetos, but I can live with store brand style. Cheese - can do Kirkland from Costco instead of Balderson It really varies. Also, I prefer Mr Noodle to store brand instant noodles.

2.   Clothes: ~ Wear designer jeans/slacks with a brand name or regular department store jeans/slacks? I try now to buy it all on sale - the brands I buy are like the store brand - Dynamite, Garage for example - so not necessarily designer. 

3.   Handbags: ~ Buy a designer bag or look for a less expensive copy? I don't even like handbags anymore, LOL. But I go for a cheap brand whenever possible.

4.   Shoes: ~ You get the drift, designer or a cheaper copy? Brands all the WAY! But, have no issues getting them second hand, and prefer to buy them on sale :) but I definitely don't buy non brand unless I really like it or it is super cheap, lol!

Nassau Pics - pt 2

A beautiful palm tree - I loved seeing all the flowers and trees blowing in the breeze!

The water at the beaches I went to, had lots of the mossy stuff. So, I swam very little - it also was windy, and rocky so the swimming was not ideal for me!

The water still was pretty beautiful, even though not my cup of tea.

 I saw a few cats - I love cats, so this was great! I am not a huge picture gal, but this was pretty much my trip, LOL.

I Am Not A Great Blogger but here are some Vacation Pics! (pt 1)

 Funny how that works, eh? I do love to talk, but I am not great about committing to write here, lol! After my last post, my mom and step dad had already come back from their trip. It has been interesting, I don't know what they have decided between them. But, it seems a bit better. I am stressed with work, and life as per usual. I did go on vacation, and I have a couple more trips planned, with one to come in the summer I am hoping :)!!! 

So that is pretty much what I am looking forward to - a ton of travel :) here are some pictures of Nassau. Pricey, but a welcome retreat from the madness. I wish the beaches had been nicer, I would have done more swimming - as you can see, there was a lot of that mossy stuff - in the water, on the shore etc. That was my air BNB - simple and to the point.

This is the Queen's Staircase above - supposedly 66 steps, but there are actually less than that now, due to whatever reasoning.

This is their version of an Umbrella Alley - pretty, a little damaged because of some inclement weather but still pretty!!
