Yes, I did call it SPECTACULAR. Why, you ask? This is because today I had the chance of finding 2 of the most amazing thrifting hot spots! And, they are only 10 minutes from me in Kent, Oh! The first one I went to was Einsteins Attic and the second one is Overstock Oasis! Let me just tell all of you wonderful people… these two places were LIFE CHANGING for so many reasons. They were basically paradise for any Thrifter. Oo also, my mommy is here this weekend so she had the chance to come thrifting with me. We had a blast. 

I will start with the ring that is pictured. It was $4! I love the stones on it and it fits perfectly! My mom actually found it in the store for me! I can see this ring becoming a staple that I’ll always wear. I usually only wear gold rings, but I don’t mind that this one is silver. Also, I bought the cute owl that that you see. It is made with all sea shells (besides the eyes! lol). For those of you who don’t know this… my sorority’s symbol is an owl, so whenever I see cute owl items, it is a MUST that I purchase it! Plus, it looks adorable in my apartment! I also bought the cutest retro red glasses! I am so sad because I forgot to take a picture in them… but, I will post one tomorrow! I am in love with them! I do not even wear glasses, HAHA. They do not have any prescription in them, so I bought them as an accessory. My mom said they make me look 45 years old, but that is TOTALLY fine with me, haha. I will be rockin’ those as often as I can. 

After Einsteins Attic, we went to Overstock Oasis, which is conveniently across the street! I was not sure what to expect walking in to this store but let me just tell you, it was like walking into HEAVEN. They had anything a person could wish to buy. Unlike most thrift stores, Overstock Oasis is all brand-new items. Just like the name, all of the products are items that the companies who are sold in the store had extras of. A lot of the the products that they sold there were from Kohl’s, Macy’s, and funny enough, CVS Pharmacy. There I purchased all of the makeup items and the adorable yellow sweater! I believe I spent around $15 dollars in there. If it is hard to tell, the mascara is Rimmel London’s Lash Accelerator, AKA one of my favorite mascaras! That mascara usually runs around $8.00 and I bought it for $3! Then, there is the Maybelline eyeshadow palette! The palette’s name is “Green Garden”. I know this picture is not the best, but the three colors that are in it are an emerald green, a light green and a coral-y pink. I know green does not sound the most appealing, but I promise if green is done right it looks awesome on almost all different eye colors! Would you all like a Tutorial? I can totally post one this week! YAY! That is happening 🙂 Then, the purple eyeliner! This was also only $3! It is such a pretty purple and I cannot wait to rock it on my green eyes! 

I cannot wait to show you all the tutorial! Tomorrow, my mom and I are off on another Thrifting trip! We are headed to a cool Thrift store in Toledo, Oh! It is called Thrifty Trendz, have any of you been there? I cannot wait to share what I buy there with you all!

Thrifty Thursday- Household Item Style!

This week I chose to do a Thrifty Post on some awesome household items! If you read my last Thrifty Thursday post you would have seen that I featured these adorable yellow/green jars. I first saw them at the Moonlight Madness sale at the Goodwill in Crofton, Maryland. Last week I saw that there were 5 jars in total for sale but, I thought that I would probably only need 2 of those… But, during the week I was so sad that I did not buy the other ones! When I went to Goodwill yesterday I saw the other 3 sitting there waiting for my arrival! I was SO EXCITED to see them there! 

This upcoming fall I am moving into an apartment and I cannot wait to use these around it! They are perfect for makeup brushes, flowers or other little knick-knacks! My sister gave me the cutest idea to put the little chalk board stickers on the front of them so I can write on the jars what I am keeping in them! I am going to Michael’s tomorrow to get those! I will post them as soon as I put them on there! 

OH! And, the cute little owl necklace that you see featured in this I also found while Thrifting! It still had tags on it and it was $15, but shhh… I scored it for $3! 

I hope you enjoyed this household items post! I am thinking about doing one a month! Let me know what you think by “Liking” and writing on my new Facebook page! It is DefiningDanie 🙂
