Thrift Shoping Tips and Tricks :)

Hey guys long time no post!
I have been meaning to put up some projects. I have done them it is just writing the post lol. But for today i want to share some tips about thrift shopping.

 So my mom likes to tell me i have an eye for things. We go the DI, or Good Will and I find things. I have found a lot of pieces to my dish set that my mom gave me so that has doubled in size since she gave it to me! I have found some really good craft projects there too. Among other finds. Her are the Tips:

1. Expect the unexpected! I like to go into these stores with no expectations. Then when I do find something I am excited.
2.Don't be too picky. If you are too picky while looking and want something perfect. You are at the wrong store. Things will be bruised and scratched. That is okay you can wither fix it or just say no if it is not worth it.
3.Clothes.... Some types of clothes you can buy and some you shouldn't buy used. Underwear is a big no ( Obviously) but there are a lot that you can buy and update or just wear as is. I once found a new Nike hoodie for $5. As always try things on. * Extra tip for the lady's* go on your Period... I know weird but i have taken this piece of advice  and have found some really good fitting pants. You are bloated and will be bigger. Most of us are on our monthly for a week. That can be pretty uncomfortable if you get some too small.
4.  Misc.. For example I found a couple of cheap brand new decor items and some used. I am trying to but a little girl into mine and my boyfriends place. This was an easy way.
Look at DvDs they are becoming more popular at thrift stores especially since Bluray came out. ( Make Sure To check the disk before buying)
Books. You can find some of your favorite books for really cheap! Love finding the books that i read in high school there nd read them again.

These are just some tips off of the top of my head. More will come :) Have a good summer everyone!

So First i wanted to show you what i have been loving to do with my hair! Twisting my bangs up and the next two pictures are a couple of examples of how i use it.

Twisting up one side and curling the other.

Twisting it up to make a ponytail more interesting.

 Next are some products that i have been using when i actually use makeup!

 

ELF Eyelid Primer! Had my Make Up On for 6 Hrs when I took the Picture and the best part is that this product is only $1 at Target!




This Product is Maybelline age rewind eraser! LOVE this stuff! Rachh Swears by this! This one is on the more expensive side its $7.95 at Walmart but it is totally worth it! I have used mine so much I need to go buy another bottle!

Pop Tabs To Hang Up Artwork :)

 So my Sister got this from the DI and there was nothing on the back to hold this up so we used pop tabs instead. If you look really closely you can see them. All you need is:

But you need two pop tabs. All I did was hot glue     the pop tabs on so it would barely show. Just like so

 If you want you can paint the tab to blend in to the wall. The first picture is how it turned out. I also have done where you could not see the pop tab at all and strung ribbon thru it. Sorry i could not post more about how too and what it looks like on the back put my sister hung it up too fast for me to whip out my camera :) There ya have it :) easy peasy lemon squeezy :)
