Lo-Lo Shares Making Cents with Retail Therapy in Two Easy Steps
1. Do your homework and look for ways to maximize your hard earned dollars. Go the Bar-Maids site at www.bar-maids.com and make a list of the scents you love or are wanting to try. This will help curb any impulse buying and come in handy later. While online check out the Everything Please. It's a steal! Do the math of what it would cost if you purchased all those items individually, the effective Body Bar, easy to stash To-Go B, Cuticle Intensive. and that luscious Lip Balm, transforming Face Pudding, an ohhhhh O’for Feet. And you can't forget that it comes in a Namaste Snap pouch.
2. Buy Local to save on shipping. he While on the bar-maids site, click on the Retailers tab to see if a store is located near you. Call the store to find out if they have those items on your list in stock. If not, ask them to order it or... just order on-line. Did you know that Bar-Maids ships within 3 working days. In other words, you get it fast.
After all this excitement, take a deep breath. Soon, very soon, all parts of your body will be moisturized with natural, effective, skin loving butters and oils – for a very long time. And that extra cash you now have on hand, Lo-Lo and I wish you all the fun in the world spending it in fiber land.
