Still Here

Don't worry, all, I'm still here!

The semester's just getting busier and busier, with this past week, and next week, being filled with projects and midterms galore.

The only break I was able to take was last Sunday, the bf and I's 5 year anniversary (how could I not take a break for that?!?!)

Fear not, new deals are on their way, as well as more Deanna's Deals only exclusives, promotions, and a new feature...product reviews! 

So keep checking in, because you never know when I'm going to get a few minutes to post!

And until that time, here's a quick deal to tide you over!

This chic little get-up would only cost you...
wait for it...
$36.50!!!


Wish me luck on all this school craziness!
Be back soon!
And, as always...

11 Things About Me
  1. I am going to Kenya this winter!
  2. This trip will be my first time off my home continent! (But not first out of the country)
  3. I love handling skeletons! (Hey, I am majoring in Anthropology!)
  4. I am constantly changing my career goals (this is an awful trait considering I love planning out every bit of my life...right now I'm thinking Museum Curator)
  5. I absolutely love planning events and parties!
  6. I recently decided to become vegetarian. (Just about 2 months now!)
  7. I have a growing obsession with Elephants! I think they're gorgeous!
  8. I love that the weather's finally getting colder! I was getting sick of the heat...
  9. I am going to see a talk by JANE GOODALL this Saturday!!! I am so excited! I've wanted to meet her since I was a kid!
  10. I can't fall asleep without the TV being on (which is unfortunate for the BF who hates the TV being on at night, but thankfully loves me enough to deal with it! I've got myself a great catch over here!)
  11. The day after the Jane Goodall talk is my 5 year anniversary with the aforementioned wonderful BF! What a wonderful way to ring in our own little holiday weekend, right?!?!
Questions from My Nominator
  1. If you could go anywhere in the world to visit, where would it be?
    • Paris! It's just so elegant and beautiful and romantic! **sigh** I am really excited about my upcoming trip to Kenya though!
  2. Do you read? If so who is your favorite author?
    • I LOVE reading! I actually don't follow authors though. I just pick out books I think I'll enjoy, read them, love them, cry when they end, then pick out the next one! My favorite genre, though, tends to be fantasy (I loves me some vampire!)
  3. What is your occupation?
    • I am a full time student, and part time freelance concierge, baker, and, of course, blogger!
  4. What inspired you to blog?
    • I LOVE to shop, but being a full time student, I obviously don't have the budget to buy things with crazy price tags. I knew I wasn't the only one in this situation, so I decided to combine that passion, and the knack for finding deals I'd developed for my own shopping desires and out popped Deanna's Deals!
  5. Who is your fashion Icon?
    • Oh boy...there are just too many to name! I guess the big ones would be Audrey Hepburn, Jackie O, and Rachel Zoe.
  6. What is your favorite store to shop for clothes?
    • Buffalo Exchange!!! It's a consignment store that sells the BEST styles (vintage and modern, though they're mixing a lot these days) for really great prices!
  7. What is your favorite store to shop for cosmetics?
    • CVS. Don't laugh! I've gotten amazing cosmetics there for under $5; some have even been better quality than brand name ones I've bought. Wet 'n' Wild's where it's at, hun!
  8. Where do you live? USA? UK? Other?
    • USA
  9. Favorite tv show?
    • I am AWFUL at choosing favorites! So instead, here's a list for you to enjoy! Bones, How I Met Your Mother, Smash, Private Practice, Big Bang Theory, 30 Rock, Glee, The Office, Community, and Grey's Anatomy!
  10. If you could only choose 1 cosmetic to use on your face, what would it be?
    • Eyeliner. It's the one cosmetic guaranteed to be on my face (unless I'm feeling lazy!)
  11. Have you ever met up with a fellow blogger?
    • Considering I have family members who blog, the answer would be yes! Haha!
