Old Bras Will Do But Nothing Beats A New Bra :) — by Unknown on

Every female has had this happen to them at one point in their life. I mean I know I love my bras but sometimes I  LOVE to keep them til the point of no return.  It's the bra can have the underwire can be coming out of the bra and Ill still wear the bra.  I had this one favorite bra from Victoria's Secret that I loved so much I couldn't stop wearing the bra.  But how good would it be if you can get money for your old bra.  For every bra you turn in you get $10.  You can not beat get $10 for a bra to go towards a new one. That's a AMAZING IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF!

 Town Shop (for every bra you trade in) towards the purchase of a new bra is doing this as a current promotion. Is Victoria's Secret doing this? 

The only other option is the garbage which is a lot less attractive than being paid for a useless object.

 With over 80% of women wearing an incorrect sized bra, Town Shop offers a real service to its customers. They have professionals on site who help women find their perfect size every day.

Cars for clunkers was a hit, because the government helped you receive money for an old and beat up car in order to help you purchase a new car. But how many cars does the average person have? Likely one. For the entire month of March New York City's landmark Bra store Town Shop is running its "bucks for bras" special, which allows women to bring in an old bra and receive $10 off the purchase of a new bra. Now is a great time to get rid of those old bras and walk around more confidently in a perfectly fitted new bra.

So, how do you know if a bra is old and in need of an upgrade? 

The magic number is 100. That is the number of wearings when diminishing returns sets in. After 100 wearings the elastic is compromised, the cups stretch, and the bra loses its elasticity, which it desperately needs to keep “your girls" where they were meant to be! Gravity is mean!

If you have four bras in your rotation, and rotate wearing them, your bras will last about a year.

Unlike wine, art and George Clooney, things don't always get better with time. Bras are one of the prime suspects.

Town Shop is a New York landmark. Open and serving the city since 1888, it sells top name brands and gives the customer something they cannot receive online: a real fitting. According to Oprah, 80% of women wear the wrong size bra. Shopping at Town Shop keeps women from being an 80%er! (or we can say “shopping at Town Shop puts women into the 20% club!)

“Bucks for Bras" Bring one old bra to Town Shop and receive $10 towards a new bra.

The offer is available up to 5 old bras for the purchase of 5 new bras.

Styling With Sheila J "Urban Love" — by Unknown on

When I met you I didn't think anything of it. Barely even looked at you. Now I am here and your all I think about. This urban love what right and wrong. I speak into existence and you know me better than I know myself. His eyes are like passage ways to his soul only problem is soul is tainted by all the wrong that's been done. Not used to someone caring the way I do because truth is no one else never did it right. Baby put your pride a side let me show you how real this urban love is cause I'll do for you as you do for me. I treat you as my king deserves to be treated just as long as my king does right by me. I couldn't have found better words to express this feeling without not saying to much. This urban love got me up all night, wanting to spend the rest of my life with you. You breathe into my ear and whisper my name, my world changes because your slowly becoming my world. Sleep baby sleep but don't sleep our love away this love is strong doesn't matter if it hasn't been long. I know  it seems as if I am trying to be a poet but I am just expressing myself in a way that I am not really used to. trust!  I trust like no other which is why I am giving you my heart but babe please don't break it I wouldn't know what to do. Maybe it's just me but this urban love feels real and I don't want it to end. You just want the doctors prescribed Your my sick love addiction, the needle, the pills and the gun to my black and white love story.

Recently I came across this site called, Rent The Runway! ME Being a SAVING QUEEN! I said let me see this website.   I have not rented anything from this yet! However, I do plan on renting from them soon.   here's how it works.  

1. FIND IT: Search our collection of dresses and accessories for your rental date (we recommend 1–2 days before your event), then filter by designer, price, length — even style — to narrow down your favorites.
2. BOOK IT: Once you've selected your items, book for a 4-day or 8-day rental period. We also offer all the essential extras like Spanx and Fashion Tape.
3. WEAR IT: Your order will arrive by 8PM on your delivery date via UPS (or by courier in NYC). Time to slip it on and shine!
4: RETURN IT: After your night out, send back your items in the easy pre-paid envelope provided — we'll take care of the dry cleaning. Don't forget to upload a photo and review to runway.

Salvage My Identity Day 1 — by Unknown on

Where we are in a world thats based on technology, and social media.  What you see from me is an image, a look  a way of life. I portray this person that I wish to be   but in REALITY for me  what you see is not really my REALITY at all. 

Struggling with the every day issues, of finding my identity, and learning who I am as a person. Fighting myself from whats real and fake.  How can one truly know who they are when they are consistently being thrown in a pit of fire. 
Have you ever sat back and thought, why do I put myself through this torture of being desperate to be accepted and validated by all these people whose opinions change like the wind? Why am I willing to compromise my convictions and who I truly am at any cost? We ask ourselves on an everyday basis the types of questions like "Will they like me?" " I need to do this with him so he won't leave me." "We're they talking about me?"  "Did they think I was funny?" "Does he think I am Beautiful?"
Why are we searching for acceptance in others when we should be searching for acceptance in God himself?
God knows us, and loves us and fully accepts us -- the REAL US! 
but this identity that we have we have to truly find out who we are .... <3 and begin to love ourselves.
I am Sheila Marie Johnson I am a model I am a actress I am a photographer I am an extreme couponer I am a Blogger I am funny I am depressed I am weird I am anxious I am happy I am insecure I am scared I am stressed I am worthless I am reliable  I am strong I am guilty  I am all of these things and more but I can never admit to it.  or show it.
