Covid Holiday on a budget (updated):

*Canceled* Carrie Decker - storage unit sale at Red Dot Storage in Sturtevant, WI on Wednesday, December 2, 2020 - My sincere apologies!  She stood me up, when I'm just trying to help her sell stuff so she can try to get her stuff paid for. *Canceled*

So many of us are struggling these days, and we all want to do something for our families.  Here are some great ways to save money for your own holiday shopping purposes as well as help out someone else to get theirs done, as well.

Kira Treloar - Rustic Stone Jewelry & Gifts - unique, beautiful & handcrafted jewelry & more.  Please check out her Etsy Store now!  You will love the items there on Etsy.

Laura Fogelson - Mary Kay professional skincare - It's not just for women, more than makeup.  There are skincare regimens from antiwrinkle to reducing scars to evening out skin tone & age spots.  She can cater it to whether you have oily, dry, or combination skin types, and match your complexion while she's at it.

Mary Mollerskov - Wild Bloom Arts - A talented artist & photographer, has a lot of really neat, beautiful & original artwork to display & show off on your walls.  Because you can meet her in person, you're guaranteed a story to go with the decor in your home!

Mike Phipps - computer repairs for your desk or laptop.  He guarantees his work and is much more affordable.  He also has PS1, WII, and other video game units (with games), movie DVDs and more.  Please inquire to see what he has in store for you.

Need gifts? Please support local businesses & people!

During this pandemic, we could all use a break.  With holidays coming up, some of us are wondering how we're going to pull it off, and not that gift-giving is the most important, but, let's face it, it's nice to do, or at least have a little extra to do something nice with the family.  So...  here it goes.

A fun morsel in the West Racine business district is Refined Salvage & Pallet Design, where you can find some fun, interesting, unique items for your house, as a gift, and these are perfect for those who just got into their 1st home!

While you're there, stop by at Wilson's Coffee & Tea, because they really have the best coffee, and stop in to get some kringle at Bendtsen's Bakery.  They definitely have the BEST kringle, this side of the Atlantic.  Then there's Gold Bear Trading Company, all here in the same business district, on the same side of the street.  Please don't forget to check out the new bakery, which offers items that aren't at the Danish places, and pick up your Christmas cookies from Nissi's Cake Room!  

Downtown, there's Lighthouse Gallery & Gifts, perfect for out of town people you're sending gifts to.  Their items range from pictures to T's to coffee mugs, all featuring Racine, WI!  I remember stopping in at Plumb Gold LTD as a college student when I'd ride the bus all over, and would walk down to check them out.  They just expanded, and have a 2nd store, called Plumb Silver.  I haven't been there, so I'd love to check that out someday as well.

I also have friends who could use a boost for the holidays, and here are some of what they can offer...

Kira T - Rustic Stone Jewelry & Gifts - please order on Etsy for your unique gift to your special gals in your life!

Mike Phipps - for your computer needs - he can fix your laptop & desktop at a great price, guarantees his work, & is better than many of these places where you spend an arm and a leg for...  When you message him, please also ask about vintage gaming units & classic games he has available.  Perfect again, for gift giving this holiday season!

Laura Fogel - She is a professional Mary Kay dealer, and can help you from skincare to makeup, men & women both!

Lika's Professional Resume Services - ask me what I can do for you, so you get an interview, even during this pandemic.  You're worth the investment, right?  Do it for you!

Because I need money, just to get to the end of the year...  I'll have to figure out next year after the 1st...  I also have these items for sale.  Please message me - lika.yvi@gmail.com if you're interested:
