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.

Five nights at freddy's 5th birthday party....

I know... I know... Five nights at freddy's aren't exactly the characters you'd expect a 4 or 5 year old would like. My son however is obsessed with these ugly looking characters. He has been watching their music videos and such for a couple months now. Therefore, his birthday party theme this year was obviously Five nights at freddy's. I opted to do it friendly and not scary with the "nightmare" version. For you mommas, who have kids obsessed with these characters. Here are some ideas for your theme party. We held the party at a local park. Set up tents, ice coolers, tables and chairs. Invitations... I like to be simple when it comes to invitations. I send out a custom made invitation through text messages or make an event on Facebook. (Most our family and friends are on there) When I say custom invitation, I mean custom made by me. 😁 Food... Since the characters like to eat pizza & Fred Bear Fazbear works at a pizzeria. (Or something) The ma...

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 ...
