January Interview Featuring Maeve

Hello My Beauties!

It’s been a while since I have written to you, and I have noticed that other bloggers are going through a small lull as well. I think this is like a little universal break that’s really needed. Back to the topic at hand, I want to introduce all of you to Maeve at Thrift O’Clock! She’s a super cute blogger, Youtuber, and this month’s interview star! Please enjoy and check her out!

Maeve: Hello, I’m Maeve! I’m an 18 year old girl from Northern Ireland and my blog is called Thrift O’Clock. I absolutely love thrifting and sharing my thrifty finds on my blog, whether that be fashion, beauty or otherwise. My little cat Mia is my favourite thing in the world alongside blogging.

Questions

Q: What/who inspired you to start blogging?
A: I started watching a few Youtubers & reading a few blogs and thinking, I’d like to do that! In the beginning I loved Becca Rose and Amarixe, and I’ve always looked up to the likes of The Sunday Girl for inspiration. I remember I’d just come back from a thrifting trip, the name Thrift O’Clock just sprung into my mind and I created my blog that night!
Q: What have you liked most that has come from your blog?
%22...be yourself and don't try to write-2
A: I think it has to be the confidence I’ve found through blogging and the fact I have a creative outlet of my very own. I’ve also made some lovely blogger friends which is a big positive!
Q: When you aren’t on your blog, what is your favorite thing to do in your spare time?
A: Of course I love to shop, but I also love baking and creating art which are two things I’d really like to start incorporating on my blog!
Q: What is your favorite product that you’ve written about?
A: Difficult question! I loved talking about starting a MAC 15 Eyeshadow palette because it started a conversation in the comments where we discussed our eyeshadow recommendations. It was also brilliant to talk about my Personal Planner because it’s so handy and I was able to give one away to one of my readers!

Q: And finally, what do you hope to accomplish in 2015, blog related or not?
A: I actually wrote about my blogging resolutions for the new year in a blog post! My own personal goals are to get a bit healthier, pass my A Levels and be happy!

6 Stocking Stuffers For Under $10

Hello My Beauties!

I completely understand, the search for inexpensive Stocking Stuffers is a hard one! Even finding a cute little present for a friend without breaking your bank is tricky. So, if you want the best gift idea, or just a last minute buy, look no further than this blog post!

Bath and Body Works Mini Candles

If you ever want a great little gift idea for the holiday season, I would first go to Bath and Body Works! They have great scents that are very inexpensive. I included the minis because, even though they are slightly over $10, you can get a full line of products for a low cost.

Forever 21 Jewelry

If you are looking for a great piece of jewelry that looks a lot more expensive than it actually is, go to Forever 21! They have all different sorts of earrings, necklaces, and rings ranging from $4-10!

Fuzzy Socks

In my book you can never go wrong with fuzzy socks. Whether they are used around the house or at night with lotion, these socks are a girls best friend this winter! I have seen some animal ones at Old Navy and Bath and Body Works as well, but honestly fuzzy socks are pretty universal. Go to any clothing/fragrance store and I bet you that you will find a great pair for a low cost!

Kate Moss Lipstick

Now this is my personal favorite brand of lipstick, but any drugstore kind will be perfect! I love Rimmel London’s Kate Moss (as I have rambled about many times before) for many, many reasons. But the best thing is that they last and are very pigmented, so there is no worries when going out for a holiday dinner with the family! These were $6 each and definitely worth the money.

Old Navy is having a great sale right now where all pajama pants are $6! I have a couple of pairs that I love and being able to get them for that cheap is so great! So if you are shopping for a gift or something a little more intimate (if you know what I mean 😉) then head over and get a pair!

Video Of The Week: Do YOU Ever Do This?

Hello My Beauties!

These are just some of the many habits that I find myself in and I would love to know if you guys did the same. It would just make me feel a lot better to know that I am not alone, okay? 🙂 Feel free to comment with your answers or any other weird things that you do!

Questions:

1) Do you ever skip really interesting Youtube commercials on accident?

2) Do you ever clean something that just immediately gets dirty again?

3) Do you ever get in the shower with your bra/underwear/socks on?

4) Do you ever make weird/scary/intense faces in the mirror?

5) Do you ever get posting anxiety on social media?

Peace, Love, And Baby Ducks,

Chicago Haul VIDEO!

Hello My Beauties!

I have just recently finished my Chicago Haul video and I would love to share it with you all! I am so sorry that things have kinda been behind schedule, after getting back from this trip I had to make up a lot of stuff that I missed. But besides that, I hope you all enjoy!
