Too many things?

Hey everybody, it's me again!

Do you have too many things you bought on impulse or things you can't fit anymore? Well, solution is either to give it away, or to donate it if you don't want to go through the hassle of selling!

I have a few places to recommend.

For donation of unwanted but stuff which are still usable, you can try the Salvation Army! They will sort out your items, and some of it will go to sale, to generate some income for their causes!

On giving it away, you might want to pass them to your friends, relatives, colleagues, or to even strangers on facebook pages such as SGFREECYCLE or SGLADIESFREECYCLE. You might have to ask for approval before you can join their pages. One point to note is that the admin only admits you if your profile is real, meaning you have to use your real account! This works the other way round too... If you are in need of something, and you don't mind second hand stuff, you can try those pages... :D

If you don't mind the hassle of selling your stuff away, you can either sign up for a flea stall, or just sell it online at TEMPOMART or SGFLEA. Point to note is that tempomart and sgflea are mostly targeted at people wanting to buy new or lightly worn blogshop clothings. If you want to sell your stuff at sgflea, you must be a registered user at sgflea, and applications only open at certain timings! So stalk them, and wait for the admins to start accepting applications.

New Shoes

Hello everyone!
I just bought a pair of shoes from a neighbourhood shopping mall for my upcoming presentation!
This is how it looks like.



Want to guess how much it costs?! Only $15.90. Thought it was $19.90 as they did not indicate there was a discount. So I'm happy with my purchase. My feet are relatively small (size 35-36) so its quite hard to find fitting shoes for my petite feet. The first time I went to this shop, the sales assistant told me the smallest size is size 36. Luckily I went on another day to check if I could fit into size 36 with insoles, and another sales assistant said there was size 35. So I'm a happy girl.

Anyway, just to share, if the shoes that you are eyeing is too big, or your shoes expanded over time, you can buy insoles like these:

To put into these shoes to see if it is too big still. If the shoes are still big, perhaps you can try wearing stockings or lady socks like these:

to make the shoes fit better.

Insoles can be found almost everywhere! Cheap (but not so comfortable) ones can be found in places like Daiso, or neighbourhood shoe shops, and the more expensive ones can be found at like Bata or even higher end ones like Scholl. I think the Bata ones are of reasonable quality though.

The lady socks can be found at pasar malams at 3 for $5? That's the cheapest I have seen, but they are thin. My mom bought 3 for $10, and they are slightly thicker with anti-slip soles. :D

Facebook Blogshop Giveaways

Hello everybody!! It has been a loooooooooooooooooong time since I've blogged, and this time it's on giveaways!

Not mine, but some of the most popular blogshops are giving away apparels and/or vouchers! In case you've never seen them, the few blogshops that are having such giveaways are:

1. Vanity Youth
2. Gipsy Scarlet
3. The Closet Lover
4. The Design Closets
5. Neonmello

They do not require any purchases for you to participate! Most of the times, you just have to like and share their preview albums, and like their pages! However, some blogshops have seasonal giveaways, where the prizes are HUGEEEEEEEEEEEE (read: Urban Decay Eye Palettes!!!), or its a purchase and you get a chance thing, where the prizes are better than the apparels/vouchers giveaways.

So remember to take part!! P.S. I'm not paid to do this post, just wanted to share giveaways! :D

Oh, and Vanity Youth is giving away a COACH wristlet once they hit 500 likes! They are at 139 likes now~ So go like them now! :D
