Will was the most incredible person I've ever known. He was so passionate, caring, genuine, compassionate, polite, responsible, loving, kind, accepting, & all around fun. I wish I could be more like him. He was the most amazing brother anyone could ever ask for and even though I only got to be his sister here on earth for 18 years, they were the best 18 years you could ever imagine. Plus, we get to spend eternity together in heaven! I can't wait to see him again. I hope you'll go watch his videos (YouTube.com/Will) so you can see the truly incredible person he was.

Jordan Howerton sang a few of Will's favorite songs:
Blessed Be Your Name
Amazing Grace
Our God

        How to Inexpensively Start/Expand Your Makeup Collection



        Ways to save money when buying cosmetics (or any personal care item):
        • Use coupons & combine them with store sales for maximum savings
        • Always look for coupon codes when you make a purchase online
        • Enter giveaways on YouTube & blogs (can also enter contests on Facebook by liking certain brands)
        • Swap makeup you don't use with a friend/family member



        A few examples of what I bought this week as well as the coupons/deals used for each:

        I bought all of these things at Target (top row) and Ulta (bottom row).
        • Ulta
          • I used a $3.50 off $10 purchase coupon so I had to make sure my purchase totaled $10
          • The Physician's formula matte eyeshadow palette was $6.69 & I used a $5 off any Physician's formula product so this ended up being $1.69
          • Ulta was having a 40% off sale on Nyx this week so each of the 2 jumbo lip pencils were $2.69 apiece (normally $4.50 apiece), the Nyx lipstick was $2.39 (normally $4.00)
          • I had to buy the trial sized body wash for $0.69 to get my total to $10 & not go over by very much (it was on sale from $1.25)
          • Total came to: $10.15 & I used my $3.50 off a purchase of $10 coupon so I ended up paying $6.65 before tax
          • I paid: $6.65, Retail value: $20.94 (68% off)
        • Target
          • I had a $1.50 off 2 NYC products coupon. NYC nail polishes are $0.97 apiece at Target so after the coupon I only paid $0.44 for both so they were $0.22 per bottle.
          • The Physician's Formula eye makeup remover was $4.24 & I had another $5 any Physician's Formula purchase so I used that & it ended up being free.
          • I had a $0.75 off any pack of Orbit gum that I printed from the Target website. The gum retailed for $0.99. I got it for $0.24
          • I paid: $0.68 before tax, Retail value: $7.17 (91% off)


        I bought all of these things at Walgreens & Target.
        • Walgreens
          • I had 2 coupons for the Clean & Clear body wash (1 Buy 1 Get 1 Free coupon from the Sunday paper & 1 $2 any C&C product coupon from the C&C website). The body wash was $5.99 a bottle regularly so after the B1G1F coupon & the $2 off coupon I only paid $2 per bottle or $4 total for both bottles when it would have been $12 without the coupons.
          • Walgreens had a special this week for Buy 1 Get 1 Free Schick Hydro products. The shave gel was normally $4 per bottle so I used 2 $1 off coupons I printed from Schick's Facebook page. Therefore, I only paid $2 total or $1 per bottle. Retail value: $8
          • The Carefree pads were on sale at Walgreens for $0.99. You get a Register Reward (a gift card you can use on your next purchase at Walgreens) for $0.99 so it was free.
          • I paid: $6.99 . Retail value $20.99
        • Target
          • The Dove body was was on the clearance rack for $3.48 & I had a $1 off coupon from the Sunday paper so it was $2.48. Retail value: $5
          • The Listerine mouthwash was on clearance for $1.48. Retail value: $3
          • The Suave shampoo was on sale for $1.84 a bottle & I had a 2 $1 off a bottle of men's Suave haircare. I paid $1.68. Retail value: $3.68
          • I paid: $5.64 . Retail value: $11.68

          How to Donate to Japan Earthquake & Tsunami Victims

          Ways to give:
          At this time clothing and food are not being accepted as donations because it is very impractical to send these thousands of miles across the world. Your monetary donation will go much farther. There are ways you can give without reaching into your own pocket as well. There are even ways that require no money at all.
          ·      Money
          o   Texting- all will appear on your next phone bill

          §  World Vision
          ·      US donors: text 4JAPAN to 20222 to donate $10

          o   Pay in other ways (credit card, check, stock, mutual funds)
          §  Heart to Heart International
          ·      Only 2% is kept for overhead so 98 cents out of your dollar goes to those in need
          ·      Can do a one-time gift, annually, monthly, etc.
          ·      Can designate to Japan or Haiti or wherever it is needed most
          ·      Must put in your address & accepts credit cards

          o   Be weary of scammers, they prey on helpless people trying to donate to better peoples’ lives
          §  Ask how much of your donation will go to the actual charity & not fund raising costs
          §  Fraudulent charities try to fake legitimate names, be careful they are exactly who they say they are

          §  If in doubt don’t donate on the spot, go home & do your research
          ·      Ask your work if they’ll match your donation
          o   Many companies are more than willing to match your donations, just ask!
