$50 in Sephora Gift Cards, For Only $40! That's $10 FREE!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share an awesome deal with you that I recently found on one of the makeup Facebook groups that I'm in! With this deal, you can get $50 in Sephora Gift Cards, for $10 off!

If you are a Kroger Plus Member, this deal is for you! If you are not already a Kroger Plus Card member, you can get your own Kroger Plus Card for free at the customer service desk at Kroger! Go sign up for your card, and create an account with Kroger.com and connect your card to your account.

Then, go online to kroger.com or go to the Kroger Mobile App on your phone and go to the "digital coupons" section and search for "Sephora". After that, load the digital coupon to your card. Then head to Kroger to pick up TWO Sephora Gift Cards. You have to purchase two different gift cards at the same time, and they both have to value at $25 or more for this deal to work.

When you get to the register, let them scan your Kroger Plus card, and then load $25 to each of the cards. Let the cashier take the total, and $10 will come off immediately! Then just pay $40 for your $50 in gift cards! Take them to Sephora and spoil yourself, or give one to a friend! :)

This offer expires August 1, 2015, so snag it while you can! Enjoy! And thanks for reading! :) I'll try to post more deals like this soon, for you guys! <3

The beginning of my weight loss journey!

It is officially after midnight, on 7/19/2015, and today I begin my weight loss journey. I'll be taking some supplements as well as portion control to reach my goal weight. I will also be starting back on the birth control shot on Monday (tomorrow), as well. That was the only birth control method in which I was truly happy with how my body reacted to the hormones, so I know that I can trust it to help me balance my hormones and hopefully help to keep me from continuing to inflate like a balloon. I would be exercising as well, but right now my boyfriend has a pinched nerve in his back and is unable to do much, besides laying on the couch and resting his body. But as soon as he can get up and go with me again, we will be walking a mile a day on the nature trail. :)

The supplements that I'll be taking:

- Garcinia Cambogia
- Geritol Women's Multivitamin
- Biotin (5,000mcg)
- Probiotics

My goals:

- Goal Weight: 120lbs
- Current Weight: 184lbs
- Goal Date: January 1, 2016

(I need to lose 64lbs in 5 months. Can I do it?)

Apps I'll be using:

- Pacer
- Instant Heart Rate
- My Fitness Pal

I'll be taking a "before" picture in the morning, and each week I will take a new photo to show my visual results, as well as posting "before and after" measurements. I really need to get back to a healthy weight again. I am only 5'4 and I weight 184lbs, and most of my weight sits around my waistline, which is a horrible precursor for my heart health. I really don't want to have cardiac arrest or stroke before I even turn 50!

So, wish me luck on this journey, you guys! :) If anyone else is currently on a weight loss journey, or getting ready to begin their own, please comment down below and tell me what you're doing to aid yourself in this journey, and let me know if you have any of your own tips or pointers! :) I would love to read your comments and talk to you guys about this! Thanks so much for reading, I'll talk to you all again soon <3
