If you follow me on twitter you know I tweet about it, all the time. EBAY. It's truly becoming amazing, and an addiction... not sure if that's a good thing or not. How many of us, have closets full of clothes and we never wear half of it? I know that for a fact, I do. I know there are so many things that I haven't even touched in like a year so why do I just let it keep sitting there? I know I have way to many things and nowehere to go, so I started trying to sell stuff.
Granted on EBAY, everyone wants things super cheap so you might not make as much as you want but it's super easy and half the times things do sell and I love the fact that i'm getting rid of stuff! And the best part... I can buy new things that I will ACTUALLY wear! So ladies, if you have tons of clothes, love to shop, and don't wear half your closet, try EBAY. You'd be surprised how much you can get rid of and even make!

Hudson Jeans!
Well I'm not sure about any of you, but I know that I have one of the hardest times shopping for jeans! Maybe it's because I'm not a jeans person but I feel like they never fit right and they always sag in the back too! Well, my most recent jeans purchase was a pair of Hudson Jeans and I LOVE THEM!
I got the Hudson Bootcut Jeans and they are fabulous! They are so soft which is definitely a plus! Mine still sag in the butt a little after wearing but that's normal as they loosen up since when you put them on they normally feel tight, which again, is normal. They fit really nicely though and have become my go to jean I just wish I would have gotten a longer inseam. They are quite pricey though which is a downfall. They range from 150 and up but always check out ebay! That's where I got mine for a fraction of the cost if you don't mind gently used clothing :)
Overall they fit wonderfully, they are super soft and comfortable, and just beautiful on. So if you love designer jeans or want to invest in a nice pair I would definitely try Hudson. They aren't glammed up like Miss Me's though so they are very basic and a wonderful everyday jean!

My favorite apps!
I use and have used lots of apps on my ipod touch and I usually stick to my favorites and I know we all search for the latest and most useful apps so here's my list.
Tango: It's a video, calling, and texting app that's completely free as long as you both have it downloaded. I have family who uses it talk to family in Mexico because it's all completely free! It's great for long distance relationships or if you're running out of minutes!
Twitter: Well we all know what twitter is so this one is self explanatory!
Facebook: Same as twitter, self explanatory!
Poshmark: Poshmark is a shopping app where you can buy and sell your gently used or new clothing, accessories, and shoes. It's supposed to be just for women but of course there are some men's things on there too! :) The downfall is they take 20% of whatever you make and shipping is 6.99 on orders below $25.00 and 4.99 on orders above $25.00 . But you can bundle things so you get a discount and you only pay shipping once and some people also trade so you basically just pay for shipping and swap clothes or whatever for an equal value. It's pretty great, and you get some pretty good deals!
iP Free: This is an app for you ladies! It's a period tracker and I must say it's AMAZING. It shows when you're supposed to be ovulating and when you're expected to start so it's perfect when you're making plans and vacationing. I love it and really is beneficial considering I suck at remembering this on my own.
Viggle: If you watch a lot of t.v. this is a great app for you! When you're watching current tv or tv shows that have aired during the past week you check in and it finds your tv show and you get points. Once you rack up some points you redeem them for whatever they have available during that time. So basically, you get rewarded for watching tv! How easy is that?
Pink Nation: A VS app that has games, goodies you can unlock, and special offers for becoming a member! Need I say more?
Ebay & Paypal: Great for us shopaholics who need to get rid of things.
These are probably my favorites... Granted I have many more that I use but these are my most frequently used! I hope these help you out and maybe you have some new favorites too :)

EBAY!
Ebay.... one of the world's most famous online shopping sites... especially for used items.
But yet I'm having such a hard time selling! I mean i'm listing things that are in really good condition and i'm being reasonable with prices yet I still can't get things to sell! It's so aggravating! I don't know how to get more exposure and of course the three items I have sold they didn't leave feedback!
Does anyone have any tips? I always ship next day unless it's the weekend because the post office closes so early, I charge calculate rates for shipping and normally ship priority mail or first class so it's cheap... anywhere between 3-7 dollars normally depending on the item and I even make the packages cute once shipped! I wrap them before I put them in the box and then tie them with ribbon and include a little note! I wish people did that for me! I mean seriously.. why can't I get things to sell?! Am I doing something wrong? Are there tricks to the trade? PLEASE if you know any share them or tell me what you're doing if you are making sales because i'm not sure what's more annoying... the clutter or the fact that i'm not succeeding!

Product Review - Blonde Box Dye! :)
Well, good news girls! I just got done dyeing my hair blonde from a box... AND IT WORKED! I was sooo nervous seeing as how so many people said they had bad experiences but I had to check for myself. I know I can't afford to really go to a salon to get my hair done.. I know I used to go to a nice salon and get my entire head done and it was normally over 200.00 and I just can't afford that!
I am a natural blonde. I was a bright blonde with many different colors of blonde in my hair. But, of course as I got older decided I wanted to be a brunette.. so the first time I got it done by my hair stylist and then decided to do it on my own through box dye. I never had any issues, I actually used a blonde dye (2 boxes) on my brown hair and it didn't do anything but it also didn't turn me orange or anything. Then I finally went back to blonde (whole different story). But my color has faded over the year and I wanted to just go a little brighter and happier blonde I guess, I felt after all that brunette my blonde had darkened and I was bored so out to walmart I went and bought a box of blonde dye!!!
I used Garnier Frutis (however you spell it). It was only maybe a shade or two lighter/brighter than what I had in my hair or my natural color I suppose. I followed the directions and mixed it. Then into my hair it went... I didn't use the entire bottle. I had some left and my hair is a little past my shoulders. I left it on for about 30 min, I wanted to make sure it had time to soak in and suggested time is 25-30 min. My hair was saturated but not soaking or dripping. I washed it out and then left the conditioner in for maybe 3-5 min even though they say you only need 2-3 min. I towel dried for a few min and then blow dried because I was so anxious to make sure I wasn't coppery, orange, green, or any other funky colors. To me, I didn't notice really any change. The color my hair was, was a dirty/dark blonde I guess. My parents do see the difference though so I'm assuming it is just the lighting and the fact that (of course) it doesn't look exactly like the box. BUT low and behold I did go into different lighting and see that IT IS lighter. My parents say it's pretty close to the box color and best of all not any funky colors!!!! My mom says it looks very natural which is an even better thing. So... lucky for me I didn't have a horrible or trumatic experience and will most likely stick with Garnier for my future hair colors. I wish you the best of luck in ALL of your hair coloring adventures and hope this helps some of you all! :)

Product Review - Maybelline Baby Lips
I don't know about you all but I know my lips are constantly rough and scratchy feeling. I have struggled and still struggle to find something to help with it! So this is my review from experience with Maybelline's Baby Lips Chapstick! I purchased the quenched one.
The packaging is super cute on these! I love the colors and even the size is kinda cute. They are monstrous but yet aren't teeny tiny either. I noticed some of them came with a little bonus of tint but personally if I want lip color I go for my lipstick or gloss. I did notice that only two of them had sunscreen which I look for in a Chapstick.. The peppermint and quenched. I'm not a huge fan of flavors so I went with quenched and it was no color added.
Using the product it isn't super greasy and it doesn't feel like I've put much on either. I almost feel as it soaks in almost immediately. It does add a shine though. I do like it and it does keep them not as cracked feeling for a while but have to reapply throughout the day. It def is not all 8 hours as advertised. I like it so far and would buy again!

New Years
Well for starters it's 2013!!! Still doesn't feel like it though... but HAPPY NEW YEARS! Now let's get on with it....
How many of us say "new year, new me" or make resolutions... but how many of us actually stick to them? I know I don't. It's a great idea, but let's face it.. In reality it never actually happens or works. We set out with the idea that we are going to change who we are or silly things that we don't like (that we said for months already we were gonna change) but what makes the new year hype so much different? Is it because it's a new beginning? Is it because it's tradition and everyone does it? Or is it just because we like to lie to ourselves and feel like we might accomplish that goal that has sat there for months? Who knows.
Change isn't just about what time of year it is. You, as a person are changing all year round even if you don't realize it. Just because things look the same now doesn't mean in a year or five years it will look that way. Time flies and we don't really even notice half the time. The days seem so long but looking back it seems so short. Goals shouldn't be set just because it's a new time. Set them ALL the time. You're never too late to accomplish something. Have hopes, have dreams, have fears, but be realistic with yourself too. That's always important. Reality isn't always fun but it's the truth, and it's okay to be caught up in a dream at times too.
So ladies and gents, stop lying to yourself and complaining if you don't want to make the effort to change it. Be determined, and make this another fabulous year! I mean after all we did survive the end of the world... :)
