Frugal Chicas Medicine Chest

So last week we talked about overpriced medicine cabinet staples. Well today I went perusing my neighborhood Dollar Tree and low and behold looky looky what I found at the register dressed up tweezers. I remember seeing in the blog-sphere the lady shaped tweezers. Well hit up your local dollar store to see if they have hit your area yet. I got 2 pairs but I plan on going back to snatch up the rest that caught my eye.

Holy Grail Product : J R Watkins Lemon Creme Shea Butter, maybe?

I know this is not a expected post for this month but I love this stuff or rather my hands do. I picked this up at Ross about a week ago not really expecting anything except for my hands to smell really edible. I'm not sure where this is regularly sold but I need every jar in creation its just that good. I purchased it on smell alone because it smells like someone took the lemon icing my mom used to use when she baked and mixed it with shea butter and decided to sell it. Upon opening this I immediately died and went to heaven.i just want to lick my hands because they smell so darn good. Oh and did I mention the price $2.49 for such a yummy smelling non greasy highly moisturizing hand cream like really what more could you ask for besides world peace and a million dollars. If anyone knows where I can find acquire infinite amounts of this please please comment below.

Designer medicine cabinet

Would you be game to spending $10 for 20 band-aids just because they were designed by Cynthia Rowley? Well how about $25 for tweezers designed by Betsey Johnson? These are nice but I personally think that they are over priced and useless because if I pay that much for bandages no one better use them but thats just me. So I want to know what you think?
