Happy National Thrift day!!!

National thrifting day is today August 17, 2017. It's time to go out & pop some tags! 😁 Like Macklemore says, "I'm gonna pop some tags, only got twenty dollars in my pocket."

I have a confession... Before I started with the reselling business, I had never stepped foot in a Goodwill or thrift shop. The first day I did go to the thrift shop, my mind kicked my a**! I was deep in the racks, but I felt like I was itchy all over. Got home and took 2 showers. Which is beyond ridiculous and wasteful. One thing I love about reselling is that I am recycling clothes. Helping the environment, by keeping these clothes out of the landfills.
I will definitely make a post with more information and facts over how much resellers and thrift shoppers actually help the environment.

I've definitely gotten better with controlling myself and my thoughts when I go thrifting. I enjoy going thrifting alone, without my son. ( I don't need any distractions while hunting for gems.)

Now that I'm thinking about it, going thrifting can be a therapeutic experience. It can be a time for mom's to go out and relax. Check my post Calling all moms to the playground here.

Hope you all had a great time thrifting today and may your finds be amazing! Best finds are coveted designer clothing, accessories & can't forget about those beautiful vintage pieces.

Tell me if you like to go thrift shopping alone or with friends/family?

Thanks for stopping by and reading my thoughts.

Getting comfortable in my own skin...

This year I will be turning 30!!! Where and how that happened? I have no idea,,, What I do know, is that it has taken me a very long time to accept myself. As a matter of fact, I'm currently still working on it. Through the years I have struggled with learning to love myself. Never completely content with my appearance. Whether it was my teeth, face, features, body. You name it! In the past I have even contemplated getting surgery. What stopped me? The money of course! As well as the scary stories told by friends. Which often times they hear from others. Postpartum, I suffered from weight gain. It took me years to loose the weight. Even then, my body is not perfect. Does that define me? Do my looks define me? Of course NOT! I know that; However that doesn't change the fact that I obsess over my weight, and constantly weigh myself. My point with all this rambling is, that it's never too late to learn to LOVE ...

Play! By Sephora September box...

This is a really late post/review for my Play! By Sephora box. I apologize but I have been swamped. School & life have been getting in the way. Adulting... amirite?(insert side eye) My first box arrived September 16. The second box arrived October 17. (I will be uploading the October box in a separate post) September box review: I was excited to open it, even though it's not an actual mystery box. (I also saw many posts spoiling the box contents) My favorite product is the perfume sample (of course, since I'm currently obsessed with perfume samples) check my searching for the perfect scent post here . The Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow Volumnizing Fiber Gel is also something fun for me to try. Since my eyebrows are light & thin. This is definitely a product I could be interested on in the future. All in all, I was content with the box. Although I'm starting to think that I may only keep the subscription for 2 more months. I'm not entirely sure yet. We shal...

Florals for spring, groundbreaking!

Spring break means spring has arrived. (& that my son got a week off from school) <help!> T o celebrate and to get some much needed adult time, I went out for dinner with friends. I also wanted to secretly take my new purse "out to town". I mean, what better way to complete an outfit, than with a "spring-y" bag. I paired this beautiful top with jeans and nude ankle strap low block heels. (Also, I previously wore this top for my son's 5th birthday party ). The top can be worn off the shoulders or as a loser relaxed shoulder style. (As previously worn) It features bell sleeves and is a perfect transitional top. These shoes are slowly becoming one of my fave pair. I'm a big fan of the ankle strap heel look, and the fact that these have a low block heel make me very happy! I also love that the heel features a cork look. Yellow is such a fun color for spring. It will brighten up your look and day. My top is a ...
