Steals & Deals: Spray on Nailpolish

September 30, 2016

We have all seen the articles the past year that spray on nail polish is coming and it was going to be the best thing ever, but it was only going to be sold overseas…UNTIL NOW! I have found the spray on nail polish on Amazon from the company Spray Perfect and I purchased the dark red color and I have to say it was a lot better than I expected it to be. With all of these products you always think oh they just made it look that way for the infomercials or it’s not really going to work, but with this it does. I have found that the red is a little more bronze colored than what was pictured but it was simple. I applied a base coat to my nails and let it dry. Then in my kitchen I laid out two layers of paper towels on the counter and sprayed my nails. It only says to spray them a certain distance away but I noticed that if I just sprayed a little closer I got a darker color. As predicted, the spray gets all over your hands, but don’t be concerned- it all comes off! After about 4 minutes of letting it dry I applied a top coat layer to my nails and then let that dry for about 10 minutes to be safe. I am always one of those people that sit in the nail salon for 20 extra minutes to make sure that my nails are perfectly dry as to not mess them up. After letting the top coat dry, I washed my hands with hot soapy water and all of the excess spray came off my hands!!! I used a washcloth to wash around my nails and every time I seem to do my own nails I always get so much polish on my cuticles but the spray polish comes right off and is so easy. Go to Amazon now and order it because they aren’t that expensive and I have read that the cans last for a lot of wears!

Steals & Deals: H&M Belt

September 16, 2016

It’s Friday so it’s time for some Steals and Deals! Summer may be over, but it is still feels like it here in NYC. I am hoping that the cold weather comes soon. So, I am not a big belt person. I have not worn one since middle school when it was required to wear a belt every day to school because of our strict uniform guidelines. Ever since I have been eating healthier and working out more I have lost a great deal of weight, but from past experience I know that you have to wait at least a few months to see your body stabilize. I am finally starting to see that and just starting to really tone my muscles. I didn’t want to buy all new shorts this summer so instead I went to H&M and got two belts (one black and one brown) to help my shorts from falling down. If I told you this belt was less than $10 would you all believe me? Well it’s true! It looks like genuine leather, but it isn’t and I love how the buckle in some lightings looks like a rose gold finishing! I do have nicer belts than these that are genuine leather, but when it comes to being outside all summer and sweating, you don’t need to be wearing your good nice belts to the park on a Saturday afternoon. No one would even know this belt was from H&M unless I told them. So if you need a belt that is just to add something to your outfit or if you aren’t sure you want to make an investment in that beautiful Italian leather belt you saw at the department store, get some amazing quality belts at H&M. These can also help you test out a bunch of styles that you may be thinking about buying. These belts are also great for traveling because if you lose one it’s not hard or expensive to replace it with a new one.

Steals & Deals: Monogram Luggage Tag

June 10, 2016

It’s Friday on Just Jodi Style so that means it’s time to share with you my steals and deals of the day! Many of you are either graduating from high school, college or grad school or know someone who is. I always find it difficult to buy someone a gift that is unique to them, but also is not overly expensive. A lot of students before going to college and especially before entering into the workforce full-time, like to take some time off to travel. What better accessory to get them as a gift than a luggage tag that is monogrammed with their initials? I read Who What Wear religiously and they posted about this Abas crocodile – embossed luggage tag from Neiman Marcus that is only $40!!! That also includes the monogramming up to 3 initials! This luggage tag is so elegant and looks really expensive. It comes in three colors: black, brown and tan. I even showed this to some of my guy friends and they said that they really liked it for themselves. This gift can be for a guy or a girl it just depends on if you think they would like it for themselves. A graduation gift doesn’t have to be extravagant, but it has to be something that you know the person you are giving it to will use. So for the avid traveler that is graduating or just want to get something for them because of a special occasion, this is what you should get them. Here is the link for you all to check it out yourselves.

Steals & Deals: Nameplate Necklace

May 27, 2016

It’s Friday and as you all know, Friday’s on Just Jodi Style is all about steals and deals! When I decided to start my blog, the first person I went to with name ideas was my best friend Brittani. I had the name “Just Jodi” from my bat mitzvah and she said she loved it for my blog’s name. That year for my birthday she decided to get me something with my blog’s name. She got me this amazing engraved bar necklace from evesaddiction.com. The necklace itself is sterling silver and without engraving is $21!! Unlike other custom jewelry websites, engraving on this website only costs $9!!!! This makes custom engraved sterling silver necklace cost a total of $30!!! These bar necklaces have been a hot trend for years now from celebrities like Lauren Conrad, Giuliana Rancic, and Jennifer Lawrence rocking their own. This website has all different types of customized necklace options and it is the cheapest prices that I have seen. When I saw how inexpensive it was I was shocked. I looked at my necklace a few times over because it is such amazing quality! My best friend is amazing that she was able to find something so unique and special for me at an affordable price. I believe you don’t have to spend a ton of money when it comes to gifts for your friends, but you do need to look for things that are of great quality. If you are looking for something that is custom and don’t want to break the bank, you need to head over to evesaddiction.com right now because if you enter the site and place an order you get 25% off your first order if you make a profile on the site. I’d say 25% off is well worth making a profile on this website. Go now and get your own!!

Steals & Deals: Penguin Necklace

May 20, 2016

It’s Friday, so you know what that means? Steals & Deals day!! Every guy knows it’s hard to shop for their girlfriends, especially when it comes to buying jewelry. My boyfriend seemed to have landed the jackpot every single time he has purchased me a gift. He is the type of guy that enjoys experiences more as gifts than an actual physical gift, but knows that you should have something to remember the experience by. For my first birthday we celebrated together, he got me a beautiful black and white diamond penguin necklace and a one-on-one time with a Penguin at a zoo out in Long Island. Something you should know about me is that I am obsessed with penguins because they are just so cute and if I could be like Mr. Popper in Mr. Popper’s penguins I would own my own. This necklace was so beautiful, but I of course didn’t want him spending so much on me. I found out he got it from Amazon in their fine jewelry department and to make things even better it was a steal! It was under $100 and every single person who has seen it thinks it is way more than that. If you are looking for a great gift for your significant other this is where you should go. Anyone out there for your significant others if you don’t want to spend too much head on over to Amazon. They have a great selection of diamond, sterling silver, gold, rose gold etc. jewelry pieces from a range of prices to choose from. I was surprised at the vast selection of items they had on their site. I thought they would have a majority of just a specific type of jewelry like mainly necklaces, but to my surprise they had a lot of everything. Also another perk is that the majority of their items are available via prime so if you are prime member and want to get something last minute you can easily do that. Keep your eye out for Amazon because they are changing the game when it comes to buying jewelry online. If you are like me and love penguins you should 100% purchase this necklace. Hope you enjoyed my steals & deals for the day! Have a great weekend everyone <3

Steals & Deals: Daym Jodi Back at it with the White Shoe

April 15, 2016

Daym Jodi! Back at again with the white shoes! Today’s steals and deals post, if you haven’t already guessed, is about the infamous white sneaker. After those two kids from California started those snapchats with the white vans I can’t stop seeing people wearing white sneakers everywhere! I know that everyone loves the Stan Smith Adidas sneakers, but when I was looking for the perfect white sneaker I wanted something that I hadn’t seen all my friends wear. These white sneakers I am wearing are from Kenneth Cole. Yes I know exactly what you are all thinking: who would have thought that Kenneth Cole made cool sneakers? I didn’t! I saw these and instantly fell in love because I didn’t want to have a bright color on my shoes, but I still wanted a little detail on them that made them different. These silver detailing on the back of the shoe was the perfect amount for me. They are also aren’t that much more money than the Adidas pair. They are only $120 and are genuine leather. If you look on their website the back detailing looks gold from the images, but in person they are more silver than gold. I wear mine almost everyday when it is nice out and I never want to take them off. If you are discouraged to buy the famous white sneaker because of the fact that they do get dirty quicker than other shoes, don’t be. When I want to clean my shoes I use the famous Mr. Clean “magic eraser.” It gets off all the dirt and scuffs from my shoes in an instant and keeps them looking pearly white ☺ . If you are looking for other alternative options check out some other great pairs I have below from Nordstrom. Again, I can’t say this enough, make sure that you are comfortable with whatever shoe you purchase because the last thing you want is to be wearing sneakers that ultimately hurt your feet. Good luck with the search!!

Steals & Deals: Pridebites

April 8, 2016

It’s Friday and you know what that means… It’s steals and deals day!! Today I want to talk about an amazing company called Pride Bites. Pride Bites was started by one of my brother Ira’s really good friends from college. When I got my precious toy goldendoodle I knew that I didn’t want her to just have any bed but I wanted her to know it was hers. For all of you pet lovers out there, Pride Bites’ toys are INDESTRUCTIBLE! You heard that right: their toys are indestructible! Even for the most unruly of pets, these toys survive. Every item on Pride Bites’ website is also able to be customized. You can even upload an image of your pet to put onto the items you customize. I got my puppy, Stella, a custom crate bed, bed, toy box, and placemat to go under her bowls and blanket. She absolutely loves all of them!! Yes I may have gone a little overboard, but when you see the stuff you would too. Stella knew exactly when I put her bed down that it was hers and fell asleep on it right away. I didn’t order her a custom toy until recently because I wanted her to grow into her puppy face. I just recently placed my order for a custom Frisbee toy with her face on it and I can’t wait to see how it turns out☺. The best thing about Pride Bites is that they have amazing customer service and did I mention that their items are so cute? They always give amazing coupon codes so if you spend $100 on their site at any time, you get $25 off your order with the promo code: 25NOW. Tonight they are going on Shark Tank to try and see if the sharks bite to invest in their amazing company.If you love their toys get them now before they get backed up with orders!.

Steals & Deals: Atheltic Shoes

April 1, 2016

Spring has sprung and so has everyone’s urge to go to the gym and get ready for the summer. Every season I always seem to buy a new pair of gym shoes, but I always try to find a pair that is under $100 because I know in a year from now I will want a new pair. When looking for great pair of sneakers and at a fraction of the cost, the first places I go to are Nordstrom and Zappos. I love Nordstrom not only for their customer service, but also because they always have a great assortment when it comes to athletic shoes. Now Zappos, I love for many reasons, but the main one is the shipping. They always get you your merchandise within a day or two of ordering it even when you select ground shipping. I have only had one issue with them in the past where I received a pair of shoes in the wrong size. When I said I would send them back they told me to keep the shoes and they would send me the correct pair, which I received the next day. If you live in a city where you have a Nordstrom rack, go in right now and stock up on athletic sneakers. I have noticed that around this time every year they always stock up on the latest Nike and New Balance running shoes and they are normally under $60! I will be the first to admit that I want my athletic shoes to look great and be fashionable, but remember it’s also important for them to be comfortable. I have gone through so many different styles of athletic shoes because even though they may have looked cute on me they weren’t the comfiest shoes to work out in. Check out the links below to see some of my favorite athletic shoes that I am lusting over this season and shop them on my favorite sites ☺. Happy shopping!

Steals & Deals: The New York Times

March 25, 2016

Today is all about steals and deals! First off, how amazing is this cutting board that my parents got me for Chanukah? My Dad is an avid reader of The New York Times and he saw this product advertised in their paper (who knew they sold products) and he showed it to my Mom and said this is perfect for our Jodi. When looking for a great gift that isn’t over the top, everyone should head over to The New York Times website. It is full of great things like this custom cutting board. If you go to their website: https://www.nytimes.com/store/ they have loads of items that you can choose from. For example, for my brother who is a die hard Miami Dolphins fan, my dad got a book that consisted of all the clippings from The New York Times that the Dolphins were mentioned in made into a coffee table book. It looked absolutely beautiful! It looked like it was a book that could be sold at any local bookstore. There are so many different items on their site to choose from, but my favorite is the kitchen and home décor section. If you look at the personalize kitchen and home décor section, other than one item, everything is under $100 and it’s personalized. A gift is more special in my eye when it is something that is personalized for that specific person, and The New York times does that with these items. If you have a subscription to The New York Times, occasionally there will be a coupon for their store website so for all those subscribers, keep an eye out for those coupons. I hope that this helps some of you who maybe at times can get stumped finding the perfect gift for someone without breaking the bank. Hope you liked today’s post on steals and deals!
