Using Personalized Design for Decor


Hi there my lovelies! Hope you all are doing well and staying safe. As I have shared with you before, I have in the process of redecorating my home without breaking my bank. Let’s face it, I am also in my journey towards financial freedom, which means penny pinching. Hence, I will be relying a lot on Dollar Tree and Dollar Stores. However, the one I am sharing with you now is through Etsy before I went on a financial diet. Today, I wanted to share with another great experience that I had with another small business owner at Etsy. I am talking about CopperFoxCompany.

My beautiful lovelies! I have these wood pieces with bark as coasters. It gives a chic cottage vibe that I like. To be honest, I don’t know what my design style is. With work, life, taking care of family, I really don’t have time to focus on specific design style. All I know is that my family and I like clean lines with neutral colors. I went on to the HGTV website and took a quiz and it showed my design style is modern cottage chic. All that matters to me is that there are clean lines.

That being said, with the additional of the beautiful stove top, I wanted to continue the theme. Hence, I went online to Etsy to find something personalized and had woodwork motive. I went found this store, know as CopperFoxCompany with some unique items. I found this beautiful tray with matches our coaster bark color. Hence, I went online and thanks to a promo code was able to save on my order.

The seller was very nice, and I was very impressed with the final product. I now have a very beautiful way to organize and display my coasters. It feels less cluttered. I was impressed by their service, so I decided to share it with you. They were very kind to offer me 25% promo code for my viewers and readers. Check out their other items:

Kitchen Decor: From Meh to Yeah


Hi there my lovelies home you all are doing well and staying safe. Have you looked at your kitchen and just said meh. I myself has that same problem until I saw this beautiful store in Etsy. I have seen a lot of DYI projects but I am not a crafty person with wood, I paint but am not good with wood.

I went online and ordered a wood stove top cover through Sawyer Custom Crafts . I chose a custom stove top and I thought it was it. What made me amazed how much Mr. Rick kept in touch with me regarding the progress of the order. He always kept me in the loop. I have worked with so many sellers in my life but never someone as kind and responsive as Mr. Rick. Right after the placement of the order, Mr. Rick contacted me regarding the design I wanted. He asked for specific measure in order to make sure it fits properly.

He sent me pictures along the way, and kept me informed. I cannot tell you how reassuring it was. When I received the item I was very much impressed. I loved the product I received and I am forever grateful to Mr. Rick for the beautiful final product and exceptional customer service.

My dear lovelies! If you like what you see and want to help out a small business, please check out the Sawyer Custom Crafts in Esty. Just use promo code SAWYER27 to receive 10% discount on your order. I am not affiliated the store, nor am I getting paid to promote them. I just wanted to share with you the beautiful experience I had thanks to Mr. Rick and Sawyer Custom Crafts.

Hope you enjoy the post as much as I enjoyed sharing my wonderful experience with you. I would love to hear if you had similar experience from a seller. During this time of uncertainty, it’s really nice to see the attention and care some people take in their work, and that reflects on their product.

Target Same Day Delivery Through Shipt – Feedback from My First Use


Hi there my beautiful lovelies! Hope you all are doing well. I want to start by requesting you to please subscribe to my YouTube Channel, and like my videos. I hope you all are ding doing well and staying safe. With the advancement in technology, brick and mortar stores are becoming obsolete. I for one, is a big fan of the community brick and mortar stores, but I do have to confess, lately, I have been focusing a lot on online shopping, from buying day-to-day items to fashion items, and even restaurant delivery and grocery services.

One such online grocery service is the Target Same Day Delivery With Shipt. In 2017, target bought the leading tech company on same day delivery service, known as Shipt for a whooping $550 millions cash. What this new service does is you go online to the Target.com website and order items from the same day delivery items. Once you place your order, one of Shipt’s 20,000 shopper will go to the store and pick up the items for you and deliver it to your doorstep. What an amazing concept right? The past few months of the COVID-19 pandemic alone, Target saw a whopping 300% increase in the use of their shipt service.

I for one wanted to see what the hype was about. Since the beginning the pandemic, we all are taking extra precaution to keep us and our loved ones safe. I myself have taken so many steps to keep my vulnerable loved ones safe. Beside frequent hand-washing, social distancing, wearing masks and gloves. I have also started doing a lot of the shopping online. Whether ordering delivery from my local restaurants through various apps. i have also taken steps to buy grocery items online. Today, I will talk about one such service, known as the Target Same Day Delivery With Shipt.

I decided to try the Target Same Day Delivery service because I wanted to use up my Target gift card. I have used online grocery service before, including Amazon and Instacart (reviews to follow soon), and wanted to see for myself, which is the best service for me.

I went to the target website, and chose the items I needed from the Same Day Delivery section around 12:54 in the afternoon. At around 1:59 pm, I received a text from the shopper introducing himself. Around 2:06 pm, I received another text that the shopper has finished shopping and is on his way.

Around 2:54 pm, I received a text that my ordered was delivered and I should take my food inside immediately, I open the door and nothing. I text the shopper did not hear back. I decided to call the Target customer service to get some answers. What happened next, I will never forget. After waiting a long time and back and forth between menus and options, I was finally transferred to the customer service agent. Once, I tried to explain what has happened, I was put on hold for over 30 minutes. However, after patiently waiting the line was transferred back to the main menu. As I went through all the options again to reach the customer service representative, I get disconnected this time after over 30 minutes. With frustration and anger, I text shopper asking about his whereabouts. I finally receive a text back from the shopper around 3:52 pm, saying that he’s on his way. I wait over more minutes and around after 4:30 pm, the shopper finally drops of the items. He was kind enough to apologize for the delay and explained that he had a difficult experience with the previous order.

When I quickly glimpsed through the items, I saw that I have received all of the items. I asked the shopper and he mentioned that he did not find all the item. I go online and see that under order details, it still says that I received those items even though I didn’t. At this point after being beyond frustrated and annoyed I put a reminder on my phone to report issues to the order today.

My dear beautiful lovelies, I have to admit that I am an avid online shopper, but in my years of online shopping, I have never experienced just horrible experience with an online order service. The customer service was horrible at best and very frustrating. I am glad that I have tried this service, because now I know that will never use this service again. Overall, I will give the Target Same Day Delivery with Shipt a 0 star and would not recommend it to anyone. As I have mentioned before, I am trying to add meaningful posts that are true to me and my own opinions. My goal is that you help you make informed decision.

I would love to hear about your experience with the Target Same Day Delivery Service. Have you had a similar or different experience? What same day delivery service would you recommend. Please comment below. Your feedback will help me get better.

Additionally, if you get a chance please follow my Facebook, Instagram, and Tiktok page, and like the contents. Hope your days are blessed and kind as ever.

Giantex Metal Loft Bed Frame: A Hit or Miss from Amazon


Check out my Youtube review and please subscribe and like!!!

Hi there my lovelies! Hope you had a wonderful Friday. Today we have set up this space saving bed in the our small room to act as an office space and extra bed. I have posted a detail review on my YouTube channel. Please check out the video and subscribe and like my channel so that I can continue to bring the best content to you. This is my first real post on my channel and I would love your support and feedback.

My review is on the Giantex Metal Loft Bed Frame, Twin Size Bunk Bed with Bilateral Ladders, Guardrails, Desk and Bookcase, Space-Saving Loft Bed with Keyboard Tray from Amazon, with the cost of $329.99. Before, I started the review, I want to make a full disclosure that the review is my own opinion. I have not been paid for my review. I bought this bed myself as my latest project of decluttering my tiny hoarded home. I will try to post my reviews of the item that I found in Amazon to help me with my declutter and organize my home.

Assembly: When it comes to assembly, I would say it’s vague at best. The instruction was not clear, and took us few hours to put it together. When trying to install the keyboard tray, the holes did not align properly and we had to drill a new hole to install the tray. I think we probably have burnt over 1200 calories assembling this loft bed with desk. By the time we were finished, we were drenched and very tired to do anything else. The assembly is a total miss

Material: The only good thing about the material is the metal frame. Everything else is quite flimsy. The shelves need more reinforcement to actually hold books together with the shelves bending and falling. The plywood are mediocre at best. My goal has always been to be a thrifty shopper with winning items. The ladder is painful to climb, and this investment was a waste of $329.99.

Storage: The shelves would have been great for storage if they were not flimsy. One good thing is that I can put items in organized storage boxes and place them under the desk as a space-saving and organizing option. However, the built in storage is a bust. I will get it fixed but will have to spend extra for reinforcement.

Overall: Overall, I will give Giantex Metal Loft Bed Frame, Twin Size Bunk Bed with Bilateral Ladders, Guardrails, Desk and Bookcase, Space-Saving Loft Bed with Keyboard Tray, a one star due to vague assembly instruction and the product is difficult to put together. It does not look like it will survive long. I am really hoping its looks are deceiving. The only positive thing I can think of this bed is that it’s quite space saving. That tiny little room looks clean and organized. Now, I can only hope that after adding shelving reinforcement, it will last a long time. Otherwise, the bed is a complete waste of manpower, our times, energy, and money. Overall, this product is a total miss for me.

My dear lovelies!!! I hope I was able to help make a more informed decision if you have been thinking about getting one. If you have or know of a more sturdier option, please comment below. I would love to hear from you and comments.

Marc Jacobs – Up All Night Five-Piece Petites Le Marc Lip Crème Collection


s1838127-main-zoom

Hi There! Now that Christmas is starting to slowly lurk behind us I am going to recommend some Christmas gift ideas in the next several weeks. Today, I am going to recommend another great item for Christmas gift. It is the limited edition Up All Night Five-Piece Petites Le Marc Lip Crème Collection ($49) from Marc Jacobs and can be found at Sephora. Let’s break down this small but powerful gift set.

p411245-av-03-zoom

Description: This is a Marc Jacobs Holiday collection and is all about last night, containing Marc Jacobs’ revolutionary 10-hour wear lipstick that covers your lips in buttery, creamy vibrant pigment in one sensual swipe. Experience unprecedented color payoff from their concentrated color-boost pigments that are triple-milled and steeped in hydrating ingredients, to give your lips ultimate long-lasting color and moisture for a plumped appearance that lasts. These five, rich Le Marc Lip Crème shades are tucked away into a Marc Jacobs metallic, hot pink vegan patent leather pouch. Zipped with a black swinging tassel, this pouch is so elegant, it could double as an evening bag. The collection contains bestselling nudes, reds, and a plum. The lipsticks are formulated without parabens, sulfates, and phthalates.

Verdict: These lipsticks are very moisturizing and long wearing. I already have the full size of Slow Burn which I have officially deemed as my perfect nude.  I like Oh Miley because of classic reds. Miss Scarlet is a deep vampy red, really nice for a bold lip. Scandal is a bit darker than I wanted but still a nice purple color. The case is cute, and the inner liner can be pulled out so you can use the clutch for something else. Really happy with this purchase. It is perfect for my make up bag and the colors are spot on for the fall/winter season. I am not a big fan of  matte lipsticks. These lipsticks are quite buttery. long lasting, and hydrating – the best alternative there is to matte. I also have last year’s Marc Jacobs lipstick set in the black patent leather bag. I will continue to buy his mini lipstick sets as long as he continues to make them. My final verdict, this is a great gift for Christmas or just to indulge yourself.
