Experience, not stuff: I've decided to make this my mantra to live by. It'll be hard, because I like nice things (ex: shoes), but guess which of the following I remember the most? (a) A $100 leather jacket purchased in Buenos Aires, that I've worn ONCE in 3 years. (b) A $45 hour-long horse ride on ...

The Price of Addiction To Argentine Tango

It's happened. I fell for the sultry dance, hard. (I even made its own category!) I leave class with a big smile on my face. I read Argentine tango forums and blogs. I fall asleep thinking of boleos and molinetes. I'm not sure how my wallet feels about the possible financial ...

Save 20% at Sephora

by WellHeeled on November 4, 2007

Just use the code FF2007 between November 3 and November 21st, and you’ll get 20% off your purchase. Also, purchases over $75 gets free shipping.

I recently cashed out my credit card rewards points for a $100 gift card to Sephora… this deal means that my gift card is worth $125 (i.e. I can spend $125, save 20% of that or $25, and only pay $100). I’m thinking of getting a new moisturizer (my weakness), face wash, or some makeup brushes.

Now I’m off to check out Sephora’s online selections… here’s to hoping they have a great sales section.
