Oooh, I actually like the blog post tittle for this post. I think I'm going to use this as my header post lol..
Being the crazy shopaholic monster that I am, I always seem to know WHERE and WHEN there is a SALE.
*One: I do NOT have Rich Parents.
*TWO: I do not have a RICH man. ( even though my man does like to spoil me)
*THREE: You cannot shop the way I shop with Youtube money. (Come on, my rent is like a mortgage payment)
There fore I credit my income to hard work and a hole lot of sweat and tears, LITERALLY.
I grew up with no nice clothes or nice things, but I was sure thankful for the stuff I had, because people had it worse.
I think the reason I am blessed with a comfortable lifestyle ( I wouldn't call it wealth just yet) is because I help out my parents and I respect them. I am Catholic so I know that Jesus knows what I have been through in my life and all the hardships in the Army I had to go through so people in American can take the Soldiers for granted. When I get disrespected, i think to my self " Do you have ANY idea what I had to go through, so you can sleep in your bed comfortable at night and not have to worry about anything?" Of course they don't.
Jesus knows me and he knows my heart. I help people because I love to help. I want my life to be a change in peoples life. I f I see a homeless man/women I give them 5, 10 bucks, or food when I can. If they are going to use my money to shoot up drugs, then that is their problem. In my heart I know that I gave them that money so they can have another day in their life's without being hungry, and God knows it too.
I have so many blessing, but I would be here FOREVER.
Be good to the people you love, you will be repaid. I promise.
Anyway are some places where you can go Sample shopping.
Designer labels 90% off. Most of the stuff i saw today were in small sizes. "Samples" typically come in a size 2
