Heels Happen

We all have a pair or several pairs of shoes that we love and will wear them until the heels just about fall, they have several scrapes and scratches or almost to the point where you feel embarrassed even wearing them.  But dont throw them away just yet!  

If your heel happens to fall off or if you have any other shoe other mishaps, research local shoe repair shops and take them to see if they can be repaired instead of throwing them away right away.  Using this method will save you money, you will still have your shoes and saves you time and frustration in trying to find a replacement pair.  

Here is an example of a pair of purple heels that I purchased and absolutely loved until the heels started to wear and one of the taps came off. I took it to a local shoe repair and it only cost me $10 to get them fixed! They look awesome and are like new again.

Organization on the Go!

Once your leave the house, you cannot predict what is going to happen, you need to have these items on hand(in your purse on in your car) so that you are prepared.  

1.  Ink Pen/Something to Write with

2.  Hand Sanitizer

3.  Lotion

4.  Lipgloss/Lipstick/Chapstick

5.  Gum/Mints

6.  Change/Coins

7.  Kleenex

8.  Toothpick/Pluckers

9.  Safety pin

10. Travel size deodorant

Why you may ask?

1.  Ink Pen/Something to Write with- most of us have smartphones in which we can put important information in but sometimes a pen and something to write on is faster and more convenient when you need to jot down information quickly. Pen and paper is also a backup if your phone is dead or you dont have much battery power left.

2.  Hand Sanitizer- Not much to explain here. A quick way to clean your hands when soap and water isnt readily available.

3.  Lotion- We are constantly washing our hands which sucks up the moisture, you dont want to get caught with ashy hands or shake someones hand when yours are dry.

4.  Lipgloss/Lipstick/Chapstick- Tyrone Biggums, enough said.

5.  Gum/Mints- After eating or drinking coffee, you will need to refresh your mouth

6.  Change/Coins- For the bus/subway, you dont want to break a bill for just a few cents or maybe to give a beggar on the street.

7.  Kleenex- You sneeze or cry and a quick way to clean a small spill.

8.  Toothpick/Pluckers- When you want to get that spinach or obvious food out of your teeth.

9.  Safety pin- For an unexpected wardrobe mishap such as too much cleavage or loss of a button. A safety pin will fit conveniently in the coin section of your wallet.

10. Travel size deodorant- Lets face it, there are times when we all forget to put on deodorant and dont realize it until we have already left the house.

11. Pocket Snack- ex: Raisins, Crackers- For those times you may have skipped breakfast, you need something to tie you over in between meals or you may not feel too great because your blood sugar is getting low.

I always have these items in my purse and they have come in handy in so many situations. Dont let a small mishap such as coffee breath or a wardrobe malfunction ruin your day, save yourself time, frustration and money by having these items handy when you are on the go!

Why Ebay and Amazon are a must when it comes to Shopping

What was once lost, can now be found on eBay and Amazon

eBay and Amazon are two of the largest and most widely used e-commerce companies in the world.  

I have to admit it, I am an addict you can find just about ANYTHING you want or need on eBay and Amazon for a fraction of what you would normally pay for it through traditional purchases and thats why I love it so much.  

-Use eBay and Amazon as your number one source to find items that cant easily be found in stores or unavailable/sold out in your area

-Use eBay and Amazon to purchase popular/high demand items at discounted rates

-SELL, SELL, SELL items on eBay and Amazon you no longer want/use but want to get something out of getting rid of it

If you have the preconceived notion that eBay and Amazon is just one big online Yard Sale where people go to sale their used items, you are wrong.  You can find anywhere from Gently Used to Brand New Items.  

You can also shop according to your preferences such as Free Shipping, Pricing, Size and Colors, etc. Most items arent just auction-style purchases, they are available to "Buy-it Now".

The next time you are looking for something you cant find in stores search eBay and Amazon. Better yet, challenge yourself and do a search of items you buy on a regular basis, you will be amazed at what you find. Take a look at a few examples of my latest steals from eBay.
