As If My Shopping Addiction Wasn't Bad Enough...

Photo Credit: Mar10Photography.

I've been totally MIA lately because there's just been a lot going on. Also, with the impending doom of my upcoming birthday I have been trying to find a suitable dress for this so-called celebration which has consumed most of my free time. I'm obviously not very thrilled over the fact that I am turning a year older. Kinda sad, really. Ha.

Moving on... if I would have not procrastinated so much I probably would have scored an amazing dress and shoes at one of these online sample sale websites. If you're not familiar with what an online sample sale is then let me fill you in. Most online sample sales last for about 24 to 48 hours and feature items from a specific designer for up to 90% off the retail price! Kinda ridiculous, huh?!

The best thing about online sample sales is that you can feed your style addiction while still having cash left over for less imperative things, i.e. mortgages, rent, food, ect AND you can shop while still in your pajamas in bed!

Here's a few of my faves + some others that I happened to stumble upon as well:
I have to admit that some of the names of these online sample sale sites sound kinda... trampy?! Haha oh well. Have fun shopping! :)

The Stewy.

Ain't gonna lie... I absolutely adore Kristin Stewart, something about her vibe and style that I seriously love. It's refreshing to see someone that isn't completely full of themselves and actually doesn't want to be the center of Hollywood's fickle attention. Now let's just pray that she doesn't get all LiLo on us... :\

Aside from that, she seriously always looks like a badass... even when she's in a gown! Not a lot of people can pull that off!

Hair Shmair!



So I'm kinda recently obsessed with laser hair removal. It's kinda of freakin' amazing! This place I've been going to is seriously SO CLEAN (obvi, my #1 priority since I'm a germaphobe) and their prices are AMAZING!

I didn't ever think that shaving was much of a hassle, but now that I don't have to shave my underarms I want to get everything laser-ed off! I def suggest everyone to go to them for at least your underarms! It's normally $20 per session but they are having a special for March for $15! Also, they suggest about 5 sessions for your underarms, but I've only had 2 and I've been good to go! Save the cash for other body parts!

Check it out! Be sure to tell them that JEWELL PADUA referred you! :)
