BodyCandy.com for all of your piercing needs

I know, belly button rings are so 1990s. But I never took mine out and occasionally I get inspired to switch it up and get some new rings. The ring I had in for over a year finally gave up on life last week so I decided it was time to put in an order. If you go to the mall or any jewelry store they will charge you $10-$20 for a ring and it's a rip off! I've been using BodyCandy.com for 6 years and I have to tell you, I have never been disappointed; this shipment was no different.

I got 10 rings shipped to my door for $25! All orders over $20 get free shipping and if you get on their email list they will always send you a 15% off coupon code. I did the free shipping offer, placed my order on Wednesday and had the package on Saturday, so they are quick to get the orders out the door.

I wanted to get a variety so I got:

5 dangling rings and 1 large stud (the pink butterfly, I am currently wearing this one and it's fantastic). The first one on the left with the crystal icicle is actual crystal, that was my one splurge for the purchase, coming in at $11.

And 4 standard bent bars in colors to match my bathing suits (I'm thinking ahead to beach time!)

So if anyone is still like me and rocking their belly button ring, or any other piercings (they have everything from tongue rings, nose rings, eyebrows, etc.) check out BodyCandy.com.

The Ultimate Dollar Store

Everyone knows and loves the Dollar Store. But has anyone else noticed those "dollar stores" that charge more than a dollar for items in their stores? How can they call themselves a dollar store, if anything it should be the "Few Dollars Store."

Alas, I have found a great dollar store chain, Dollar Tree, that has many locations throughout the northeast, a great selection of quality products, and nothing in the store is more than one buck! My favorite store is on Easton Avenue in Somerset, NJ (in the same shopping center as Stop & Shop, Chase and BK). I stopped there today and all of the spring and easter items are front and center. I'm not going to lie, I spent $36 in there today but I got SO many great things including but not limited to:

• Store bins, I put 1 in my car and 1 in the trunk to organize loose items
• Paper lantern lights, for a summery designing touch
• Easter and Spring gifts for my boyfriend and family, including their Easter baskets
• Cute ankle socks, 3 pairs for $1!
• Extend-a-bra, which are bra clips that you can use to loosen up a tight fitting bra (sorry boys)
• The Amazing Hanger, hang 5 items on one hanger, closet space saver
• Gardening Gloves, with cute spring patterns
• Reusable Shopping Totes, in strawberry and watermelon designs

Where's your favorite dollar store and what was the best thing you ever found in there?
