Walmart Haul

This past week my mom and I went to Walmart. And I picked up a few things that I needed and some on clearance so here we go and let's talk about what I grabbed, yeah?

these tank tops were on clearance for $1 each so I grabbed five in different colors. I like using them on summer when it's hot outside. Yes I may get a sunburn or tan lines but to help not get that I of course use sunscreen a cap and umbrella as much as possible over the summer. Now these shirts I use them under my work shirts. I feel that is more comfortable and yes I know it sounds like a millennial thing, that's because I may be one. But anyway I like them and they are comfortable enough and soft.

So, I saw these pants and I liked them. They are the Jessica Simpson brand. I grabbed size 16 and they fitted good. A boy stretchy which is good for me at least.

And since I needed some black pants for work as well. The pants were $35, maybe they are a bit on the high price, I know I'll get a good use out of them having to work at a gas station now. I also like the studs that they have.

These socks!! Let me tell you, that when I saw they were on sale for $0.50 I had to grab them. I couldn't pass them, am they are cutest in my opinion. The ones with the cherries they are a four pack. The other socks on that pack have other fruit designs, they are all so adorable.

I needed some black mascara. I went for the wet n wild waterproof one. As that is one of my favorite brands for mascara. This one mascara I grabbed it for $3.99 I believe. The chamaeleon lip foils are so good!! My mom had bought me the pink one around the 4th of July. When my mom and I went to my sister's house for the 4th of July I wore that lip foil that day and my sister loved it and of course I ended up giving it to her as the awesome sister that I am 😉. When my mom and I were at Walmart I ended grabbing both colors they had in stock, the pink one and the green ish one as well. I had mixed them both on my lips and I liked how they both looked together.

My mom and I were casually passing by the Halloween section and I saw this cup, and I loved it. The cup reminded me of Harry Potter a bit. I like that I keeps my iced coffee as cold longer and I like that. The cup was $19.99, and to be honest I like this cup better than the overpriced ones.

This one cup I also found it on the Halloween section at Walmart. This one was $3.99 this is a glass cup. I liked the ghosts in the cup through I can't lie. This one I think is a 16oz??

And finally the shoes! I grabbed these for work. They are slip in shoes, they are comfortable. These shoes I grabbed them for $24.99 I believe. They are anti slip shoes they also have a good grip around the foot and being anti slip as well?! Props to Walmart for their work shoes I like that.

Thrifti Shopping

    Hey there guys!! I hope you all are doing okay and had an amazing day I hope. I would like to apologize, because I meant to have this blog out this past Saturday, but I had a hectic weekend. I also had an interview last Friday, but this would be in a next blog and let you guys know how it went its all good news though so no worries. 

    Sometime last week my mom and I went thrift shopping, and I had a nice time with her, thrifting. We did find some nice items that she liked and some that I liked. and spending time with my mom was great. So now lets get stated and let me show you what I got down below.  

I found this backpack that I liked, not just because its pink but when I was taking a peek inside the backpack. I saw its one of those you have seen online that turn into luggage like backpack, a carryon I should say and let me tell you, it is very spacious even I am just using it as a backpack for work. Of course, I also can fit my iPad and laptop in there. I really like it and it feels comfortable specially the shoulder straps. Oh and the backpack I paid $6.99

Now let me tell you about these leggings!! I saw them, I liked them I put them in the cart. But later right before my mom and I checked out I started doubting whether I should get them or not. I even took them out of the cart. I was honestly doubting getting them last minute, but my mom told to just get them. The leggings reminded me of the 60's/70/s the flower power movement situation. I love how pink they are. They were $4.49

 

These purple jeans, I liked them and of course since the thrift store that my mom and I went to does not have dressing rooms anymore. I tried them on top of the leggings that I was wearing that day. I wanted to know that they would fit before I got them and of course they did I like how they fit. Not too tight yet not too loose either, they wrinkle a bit around the ankles, but I like it though. They remind me when I was in high school and dressed emo/scene style. I would like to add some gems or something sparkly to them and make them funky like maybe. I am still undecided if I should or not though. Let me know what you think! But for now, I will leave them like that. they were $6.79

This dress, yes it looks gray and plain and that is okay with me though. It is very comfortable and flowy. I would like to add some tulle underneath the skirt area of the dress but I want it to be a bit longer and be a bit puffy, and perhaps some bows or flowers. I am unsure, but something I would like to do later to make it less plain, or look different. Let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas let me know as well. This dress I paid $10.99

So, this dress I stinking like it! Not just because it's pink but also the flower pattern as well. I would had liked it even more if he flowers were a different color other than yellow. I am not a yellow kind of person. But I give the dress a pass. Only because the dress itself I like it. Does fit and I like how it fits very flowy. Its a dress I would pick and throw on if I am in a quick hurry to get somewhere and I would like to look comfortable yet put together in some type of way. For this dress I paid $8.99

This one it is a dress but not exactly, it has a body suite like thing that are shorts. It's like a skort but as a dress. I like that it has pockets in the front though. It looks like something I can exercise with. Fits me a bit tight but other than that its comfortable. When I showed my mom how it looked on me on when we got home, she thought it looked like a bathing suit. 

for this dress I paid $5.49

This dress...silver and sparkly. I like it!! I found this on my bed the other day when I got home from work. I am not sure if it fits or not, I have not yet tried it on yet. I just hope that it does fit though when I try it on. 

This sleeveless leather jacket looking thing I like it. Again, I am unsure if this one fit either, I also found this on my bed along with the dress when I got home the other day. I like the leather part and the flowy fabric as well. It gives it an edgy look to it, and I like it.

If you have any ideas on what to add to some of the clothing to make it better or give it a glow up. Let me know. I like all the pieces that I found but I think some can look better modified or some items added, even bedazzled.

Where do I want to travel to?

     So, maybe all of this may sound like I may be just dreaming, or I do not know what it may sound like to any of you, but I as of lately I have been telling myself that I will move the New England (of the US of A) area. That I'll be visiting Salem on the weekly basis and such, and visit all of the New England states, and never get bored. I have been wanting to do so for quite a while now. Now, I know these areas are more expensive to travel to, but I would like to visit Europe, each of these for about a week.

     Italy, as I would like to visit that church that is in Rome, I forget what is called my apologies. I would like to visit Venice and eat all the food and candy that Italy has to offer, and experience the beauty, maybe even take a ride in one of the gondolas because why not. The Vatican in Rome because the painting that it has, and if there I believe that one painting is there if not then ill be on the hunt for it a library there that too. The coffee shops in Italy just sounds magical, on a spring day. Learning about the Sistine Chappel, and the leaning tower of pizza, and of course learning a lot about Italy and such and perhaps taking classes how to cook some good Italian food more so how to make spaghetti from scratch and pizza as well. All of this just sounds amazing. and I hope that one day I can visit Italy and experience it all or at least part of it, with however long I may be able to get.

    Visiting Ireland on a rainy and foggy day just sounds like something out of a fantasy story. Visiting the forests or just staying in a cabin in the forest near town maybe. To visit the coffee shops in town, eat all the unique foods as well. If the city or town gets overwhelming why not take a stroll or hike int he forests. In hopes to see all the faeries, Komes, and such even the faerie rings. Ireland jus sounds like a place all fairytales happen with all the magical creatures. All the beautiful sights that you see in pictures but are amazing to just look at in real life. If I ever get to visit, I hope I get to be lucky enough to fund a four-leaf clover with enough magic and luck, and if so, I will sure keep it safe in my wallet. Of course, we cannot forget about learning as much as we can in Ireland. We can't forget to visit the more well-known parts of Ireland as well as the lesser-known ones, and have and have as much fun as possible. I will definitely feel like royalty if I get to visit the castles that Ireland has specially the historic ones if they happen to have some and learning the history because yes. The Irish people I met when I was working as a sales associate on the strip they were so stinking nice! And that accent though?! I would ask or mention something along the lines about faeries or gnomes and such, and they either would go along with it or the very few of them specially the elderly ones would tell me some stories or with a smile away at the mention of such. That made me more excited about wanting to visit Ireland.

       

    Norway, oh my goodness! Norway sounds like another magical place to visit and learn more about. One thing that I will be exited to see would be the northern lights, and the milky way and all the stars. When I was working as a sales associate in one of the casinos on the strip I met many people from around the world. Few of them were from somewhere in Norway. They were really nice, if and when I get the chance to visit Id like to eat so many sweets such as candy, cookies and such and of course you cannot forget about the unique foods as well. 

This is it for me today, these parts of the world are some of where I'd like to visit but there are more. There will be a part 2 with a small description on why, what and where I'd like to visit and the just because of the why nots. So look out for that, I'll talk to you soon, and have an awesome day!

Exercising + Chloe Ting challenge(s)

     Hello everyone! long time no talk! I hope everyone is doing okay so far. I came today because I wanted to say that today is been about three weeks now give or take that I started exercising. I usually do the workouts on the evening though, as I feel it works for me best. In some way it also helps me with my mental health as well, as I take the medication at nigh as prescribed by my psychiatrist. I want to think in some way it is helping me. I work out for about an hour or so, it makes me feel tired and relaxed and makes me sleep better and actually makes me go to bed as well. I want to think it is helping me in many ways than not. Even though I am not seeing many changes physically this soon, I am feeling some of the changes specially with my mental health. Yes, I have been wanting to give up and give it all up but I've come this far. 

    I am doing the Chloe Ting challenge one of them for now. I downloaded the app on my iPad that she has which it makes it in some way easier. I don't have to search for the workouts from whatever challenge she has though I don't mind looking for workouts. Her app makes it easier to work out because if I scroll it makes me not want to work out anymore. But anyway, after I do her workouts, I look for more on YouTube, I browse for what Id like to do that moment. If I cannot find something that I like I browse on the Grokker app. If I start feeling tired, I do something light or just some stretches, then a hot shower and right after I'm ready for bed. 

    I started exercising because I gained a lot of weight and I want to lose the weight. I want to feel happier, more energetic like I can conquer the world, and more confident than I do now. Happy with myself, and like I'm ready for the world. I'd like to love myself more than I already do now.

A visit to my friends at work on Las Vegas BLVD

This was today’s outfit of the day as I made my way to Las Vegas BLVD (strip) to visit my friends. It was a fun day getting to visit my old friends and managers at the Excalibur today. Did. It get to do much but got to hangout with them for a bit and talk with them as well. I miss them so much! Today was an accomplishment getting myself together to get out of the house for once. Yes I feel exhausted even though it was just for a few hours. As depression has been difficult lately for me. Not wanting to go out at all. Wanting to sleep all day and do nothing at all. So yes it was an accomplishment for me today. And tomorrow I will get to spend the day with my best friend! I missed her so much and I finally get to meet her baby! And I’m exited for that! 

I’ll be updating you all tomorrow of the shenanigans my best friend and I did along with her baby! The day has got to be fun! Talk to you guys tomorrow!! 

Stay Safe, Stay Gorgeous!

With Love,
