Back To The Grind!
Okay, so it has definitely been some time since I have caught a breath to write a new post. Amongst moving, decorating, party planning, and losing my wedding photographer, I have also come down with the spring fever. I'm sure everyone has someone in their house who always manages to get a cold right when the weather starts changing big time. So, make sure you are wiping down counter surfaces, keeping up with laundry and washing your hands plenty to keep you and yours happy and healthy.
Also, as most of you are well aware, a traumatic environmental disaster is occurring in Asia. A good friend of mine has a sister that is over there studying abroad and teaching. She is near the area that is most devastated, close to the nuclear power plant that is in ruins. Please play for her family, and for all the families of those affected. And if there any any other way you are able to make a positive impact for those suffering, please do so.
On a lighter note, it is shower season, in more ways than one :) But I am talking about baby showers and wedding showers. Including my own, I have a few others lined up in the coming months. And I figured, since I was in an especially groovy party planning mood, I will be offering 15% OFF of party planning fees now through the end of the month. Not only that, but I am also offering $35 custom diaper tower cakes and $15 custom bridal bouquets! So, if any of you are planning for a girls night, hubby's birthday, baby shower, wedding, wedding shower, company picnic, family retreat, or any other social get together, let me know soon to get in on this deal! If anyone has any questions, please feel free to contact my EMAIL.
Sincerely,
"It" Girl, Callie Reeves

Some Things to Examine While I'm Out
Moving Time!
As many of you know, Sam and I have found a house and decided to move THIS MONTH!
Its going to be crazy, and its going to be fun, but most of all, its going to be hectic.
I know that I have been slacking off lately on my blogging, but I do have a lot going on with moving, planning the wedding, organizing a honeymoon, looking for a new vehicle, and all the rest that life throws at me.
So bear with me for now. And when I have some really good steals and deals, I promise I will share them with you.
Have a wonderful Valentine's Day too!

Designer Item For Generic Price!
A lot of people ask how I get away with having so much name brand and designer items, and still keep my chin above water when it comes to my checkbook...
Well the answer is:
I'M THAT GOOD!
That, and the fact that websites like Hautelook, NoMoreRack, BeyondTheRack, 6pm, Overstock, Groupon, and many other deep discount online retailers exist!
Sure, I score a pair of really expensive jeans on eBay once in a while, but the majority of my high-end purchases are done on retail sites like these. These sites are usually better than buying from a individual like most do on eBay and other bidding sites. You usually get exactly what you are looking at, and retail sites have a lot less risk that bidding sites. Plus, a lot of they offer you credit towards your first purchase when you sign up or invite friends. Don't get me wrong, I love my good ol' eBay. It has its perks, and I find great deals. But, these websites are less time consuming, and almost worry-free!
So, when you get a chance, sign up for emails from any of these online retailers. If you make a purchase, let me know how it goes for you. But until then, keep shopping!

Fashion Is My Passion
For those of you who have hear of Glo, you probably are in love with what the site has to offer.
Glo is a sister site to MSN. It is basically an e-magazine, about fashion, new trends, beauty, relationship advice, home decorating, and much, much more!
You really need to check this out for yourself! My favorite "column" is the "Sidewalk Style". They basically photograph stylish women they chance encounter in some of the larger cities, and show that edgy fashion can be done by anyone! I also love the "Girl Crush" articles too.
This site is so glam, and I know you will be check it every single day for new articles! Let me know what you all think after you visit!

Share The Love
Right now KLEENEX will help you send a box of Kleenex brand tissue to a friend, a neighbor, a co-worker, a family member, or any other person you can think of that needs a little pick-me-up this cold and flu season.
Its super simple! All you do is fill out the Sender and the Receiver info, include a personal message if you choose to do so, input the text (near the sender button, it is very hard to read at times), and send out the pack!
I did this the other week, and sent it to myself. I love that it is a cute mini box that would be good for in the car, a desk drawer, or maybe a locker. An added bonus to this offer is that it did not take very long to deliver, contrary to most freebies!
Enjoy!

NoMoreRack.com, Todays Retail Therapy
This is an amazing website! Some people may be turned away at how small it is, but if you are a penny pincher with an eye for name brand, this is a place you need to be checking out every weekday. I have scored deals like men's Caterpillar fleece jackets for $20, normally $124, women's Versace Red Jeans perfume for $10, normally $65, and MY FAVORITE DEAL, a 2010 vintage Barbie boxed set for $15, normally $50! I have also bought diamond and sterling silver earrings for my bridesmaids and a men's watch for my fiancée as a Valentine's gift (I sure hope he's not reading this!).
NoMoreRack.com only puts up 8 items per day for sale, but I guarantee, at the price they are offered, you could find a use for any of them. Deals are switched over at 11 AM central time Monday through Friday.
The 8 items typically include a kitchen item, a handbag, a baby/child item, a jewelry/accessory item, a beauty item, and a piece of women's clothing! Sometimes I will come across other things like designer jeans (men and women), perfumes, shoes, and much more. You will just never know till the deal switches over.
Also, take note that these items are DEEPLY discounted. Just the other day they sold Rock & Republic jeans for $65, normally $285! These deals simply CANNOT be beaten. Try as you may, you WILL NOT find a better price point (believe me, I tried).
Shipping is $2 per item. They tell you that delivery may take 2-3 weeks, but more often that not, mine arrive in about 8-9 days.
Be aware that they sometimes offer bonuses for signing up, such as $10 credit. Right now, if you provide me with your email, I can send you a $10 CREDIT to use on your next purchase! Just comment this post or email me at femaleextraordinaire@gmail.com! Or, try going about it this route and see if you have any success:
Be quick though, because these deals go fast. Items will remain in your cart for up to 15 minutes, but after that they are back out there. Sometimes, when you go back to the main page, there will be a banner over an item's image saying that it is reserved. Do not be discouraged! That just means that someone has it in their cart, but has not made the purchase yet. Most of the time if you are persistent and keep checking back, you will get what your heart desires.
If you have any more questions, please visit the FAQ page for NoMoreRack.com.
Good luck shopping ladies!
