Tips On Online Cheap Shopping

Hello there! I know there's a lot of people out there who likes to shop online in the comfort of their own home. You can find some really nice items for real cheap too but there's a trick to it when it comes to the foreign based sites like Wish, Aliexpress and Dresslink. I'm going to give you some pointers on how to find good quality items for a great deal and not get ripped off! Tip 1: Pictures When you go to a foreign based site the first thing you'll want to do when you find something you may want to buy is to pay close attention to the pictures. Most of these sites will offer several pictures of an item, especially clothing, and here's the thing most people don't realize about these pictures...a lot of them are stolen from the original designers. If you're buying clothes off of a site like Wish they will often have a picture of a white person modeling a piece of clothing. This is your first sign this is a remake of that item. Given the fact that some of these sites (especially Wish) are just a hoard of many manufacturers, you may find the same picture floating around several times. This is because there are several companies trying to sell the same item. What you need to do is find the review pictures which usually end up at the end of the roll where people who have bought that particular item show what it really looks like. Sometimes it's just like in the advertising picture, sometimes it's far from it. This is where you can decide for yourself if it's worth buying which leads me to my next tip... Tip 2: Reviews Reviews should play a huge role in your deciding factor. Given that most of these sites allow people to add a picture to their review, they can also tell you if the sizing was good, material quality, shipping speeds, damages, ect. Reviews are extremely helpful in knowing if the item is worth while. Tip 3: Best price Like I stated before, some of these sites are just a cluster of different companies that sell similar products. If you find an item you like, browse around some more. Look to see if you can find the same item for a lower price. Sometimes you will. Tip 4: Sizing Now if you are buying clothes or shoes from some of these sites the main thing to remember is this; sites based in a foreign county will have different sizing charts than your own. If you're in America and buy from Wish, Aliexpress, Dresslink, ect. pay attention to their sizing chart! If you're a medium in America, you may be a large or xl in china. I personally am an xs in America but usually I have to order size small or medium when shopping on these sites because of the difference. They usually have a chart you can look at in the description if you don't know your size and will have a converter available for you to figure it out. It's very helpful. Tip 5: Patience Bear in mind your order is coming from another country so it will take a few weeks to get to you. When I order from Wish my items can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 weeks to get to me so you'll need some patience until your order arrives. The orders will often come with tracking as well (though not always effective). Advisement I would strongly recommend not buying wet or gelatinous beauty supplies (lipstick, gloss, polish, creams, fragrances, ect) from another county. The main reason is this; They will be going through all kinds of climates, altitudes and handling to get to you. If you order say lipstick there's a good chance it will have melted and re-hardened into a different form by the time it gets to your door. Also, given most of their make up and beauty supplies are around $1 the quality wont be that great. Almost all the reviews I've read and watched there has almost always been something wrong with the make up whether it's melted, smells funny, or just doesn't apply correctly. Be cautious when buying these types of items on these sites. Another thing is Ebay is another host for some of these companies. If you look for your item on ebay, you may find it with free shipping! Over all, I love shopping on these sites. I've found some adorable vintage dresses, jewelry, accessories and decor on these sites for fantastic prices. As long as you know what to look for I guarantee you will rarely be disappointed!

Trump for President (my opinion)

So Trump won. America is now divided and hate is abundant. Mission accomplished Mr. President. Neither options were good choices but given the circumstances here's why I didn't vote for Trump... First off, he spreads hate. He just showed the world and all our children that you can treat other races, sexualities and women poorly and be rewarded for it. "Grab them by the pussy", "They can go fuck themselves" is the kind of language and attitude our new president uses. This is NOT the kind of role model I want any child or future child to look up to. Good job America. How about the fact he has no political experience? Let's put it this way; Say you need a root canal. Would you rather go to a dentist who has had 30 years of experience or would you go to a bored businessman who's never touched a dental tool in his life but says "Yeah, I think I'm right for the job."? This is where we just used common sense which leads me to a hilarious chart I saw a couple of days ago on how the majority of Trumps voters have little to no education (high school or college degree) and even the New York Times explains how he played on the uneducated to win their support. Does this mean America just showed the rest of the world how stupid we are? Still, you don't have to have a college degree to have common sense. It's not rocket science. America has already been the laughing stock of the world, now we're just plain pathetic. There's also the fact that Trump does not like to listen to others. Given his lack of experience he needs to be consulted and advised on how to do his own job but since he's use to being the boss he doesn't like to take orders. American is just another toy in his toy box and he's not going to want to be told how to play with it. He didn't even want the job. Why the hell would anyone run if they didn't even want to be president? Because they think that anyone else would be better than the other option? That is absolutely ridiculous! One needs much better reasons to run other than boredom and to make sure the other doesn't get into office. It's selfish and ignorant. Trump will set us back 100, maybe even 200 years if he carries out what he says he's going to do and I for one would rather move forward, not backwards. You can call me a sore loser but please don't be so ignorant to the facts or turn a blind eye to morality as he has rallied people to do. Don't be a mindless sheep in the flock and learn to think for yourselves. I have great concern for the next 4 years but all we can do now is wait and see what he does. "Expect the worst, hope for the best."
