Fight the Frump With Fussy !! Nails




Love this stuff. It says whitener, but it has more of a shine for me.
Used it during camping & saved my nails.
It lasts a week on my nails & longer on my toes.

Fight the Frump With Fussy !! ... Faux undershirts



These bras are from GAP. I purchased a brown one in June. It works as a faux undershirt.
I wear it with some deep v tops & it peeks out & looks like a brown undershirt.
It only goes to size 36 though.
Staps are removable & also cross.

Honda Odyssey ... Fight the Frump with Fussy


Traveling in style !
This is the last van I hope we ever own.
It is Slate Green & a 2005.
Our youngest is 9 so I figure it is a good bet this van will
be our last van.

My next car better be a red sports car !

What NOT to hair ... Fight the Frump With Fussy !!





Don't go overboard on your hairstyles.
Less is more ...
Your hair is not a pet nor is it a pencil holder.

Fight the Frump with Fussy ... Sweaters


On the trip to New Orleans it was freezing in the :
airports
hotels
restaurants
and
movie theater.
So to remedy the cool temperatures I purchased this sweater.

Found the
Embroidered Ring Cardigan
at White House Black Market
in New Orleans at the Canal St. Mall.
It is silk & cotton and was on sale.
This store sold only black & white items & denim.
Most of the clothes were too young for me.
This sweater is classic & will be in style for awhile.

Fight the Frump with Fussy ... perfume oils



Traveled to New Orleans & found The Fragrance Shop
located in Riverside Mall near Hilton Riverside.
They sell perfume oils without alcohol or additives.
I purchased a set of 4 different scents that will last for 2 years.
I'm the kind of person who avoids the large department stores & their perfume sprayers.
Scents give me a headache. These don't since they are pure.

Samples
Best Sellers
Women's Fragrance alphabetical
Why perfume oil is better

Started out smelling Beautiful & Ellen Tracy's Imagine.
Then sniffing oil of eucalyptus to clear smeller.

Ended up purchasing 4 tiny bottles of these 4 scents :

NightQueen
Sheer Musk
Tuberose Tango
Sunshower

So in the scent department I am frumpless till July of 2010.

Fight the Frump With Fussy


Looked in my phone book today for competitors to AT&T. There was quite a list. Picked the one that sounded nicest. Called Sage & switched phone carriers. Just like that. No contract . Even have a 5$ off each month for 6 months. I'm saving 17.51$/mo. Or 210$/year. Plus 30$ during the first 6 months.

Now I can pay for these ! Red sandals from Aerosoles. Fighting the Frump just became more cost effective.

Were you wondering how landlines & FFwF were related ?

Here's my logic ...

It was a good thing I saved on phone service since I purchased the sandals in New Orleans & they came via UPS today. Didn't have room for them in my suitcase & the store didn't have a 7M in the red. They were shipped from Chicago to Kansas.

Been awhile since I've had a red pair of shoes.

Can't wait to wear them !

If I can boost our cell transmission we could be one of those homes without a landline. Our oldest son is 22 & he has never paid for a landline.

Do you have a landline ? Who is your provider ?
