Online Shopping | My Tips & Tricks

  I love shopping, i think that goes without saying, but i’m not into actually going into the shops all that much. I am however a massive fan of online shopping. I know you can’t get a proper feel of fabric or fit through a screen but there are a lot of other benefits. I’ve got to know my postman much better lol.   First off, it is so much easier to navigate around a site than a messy shop. A lot of my favourite shops let me down when it comes to their layout and in-store customer service. I find the rails can be very packed making it almost impossible to look at sizes or styles that are crammed in at the back. I also feel…

H&M Extended Sizes

This is music to my ears or heart emojis in my eyes whatever way you want to look at it. I often find it hard to include everybody in my posts as i personally fall between categories in stores a lot. If i am wearing something from a plus range i am excluding those who fall into the regular category but if i fit into the 18/20 in the regular section then i am excluding a good chunk of plus ladies. I ran a poll on my Insta stories a few weeks back where i asked wheather you guys size wise fall into the plus or regular category. Purely out of interest i asked because i do often wonder. I…

Black Friday 2017

This now infamous day was once only something our neighbours across the Atlantic went wild for. Black Friday takes place every year on the day after Thanksgiving. A day where stores put on discounts or special offers. I learnt of the phenomenon through my addiction to good-bad TV. Extreme Couponing showed folk sleeping out in the cold to be first in line when the stores opened. There was actual stampedes and serious tactics used all to bag a good deal.

Black Friday now goes on ’til Tuesday with the inclusion of ‘Cyber Monday’.…

Gift Guide | Buy Irish

It is Christmas week, how that happened i will never know. I swear it was July like five minutes ago. As with every year i swear that i will be more orgainsed this year.

Brexit | Shopping In Sterling

  No this hasn’t turned into a current affairs type of blog. Although this does serve the point i make about politics quite often. People will say ‘why do you care, it doesn’t affect us’. Oh but it does. It always does. This time however it is in a positive way (for the time being anyways). Since the Brexit vote for the UK to leave the EU, sterling has dropped seriously. As i type this, the pound against the Euro is almost evens. That sh*t cray. For the longest time we lost out so much changing money over for a trip across the water. We heard a lot about the negatives that will affect us as a country but are there…
