Style bargains saving money and having a ball decorating

Hello all! today I wanted to share with you another kind of passion that I have and that is thrift shopping! also known as opshopping here within Australia. Today whilst at the opshop I volunteer at I found these bargains.

 Tea cups and saucer set for $5, which is a great buy as the colours and patterns are so in right now!
 This amazing stag ring which I believe is pewter, I bought for $5.
 This stunning choker necklace for $3!
and these adorable glass tray and jug, jug was $4 and tray was $3, I've seen similar in H&M for much more and they are trending in bathrooms and bedrooms and the like.

What are your style bargains?

Hugs

Detoxing your winter!

So I know the rest of the world is buzzing about their summer but what about us in the middle of Winter? here in Melbourne Australia we have had a very cold and rainy week. So I thought I'd give us a bit of a Winter detox if you will.

Tip one, bring back the warmth in colour!


Bring back colour! my favourite are from the Chi Chi icecream range! these sweet colours will have you feeling cosy in no time! if you are feeling pale and drab, bright colours will liven up any cold heart!

Tip number two mix and match


Feeling bored? vamp up your style with a mix and match kind of pattern in a new tote! kmart has some great options and it adds instant style to any outfit.

Tip number three


Get some new lippies! lippies add life, vibrancy, and colour to anyone, and these lovelies are from Face of Australia.

Tip number four smell sweetly

Spice up your scent with wearing whatever you please, don't worry about seasonal scents or what's on trend, find one that you can't live without!

Tip number five

New bedding and bed companion, hot tea! I got the bedding from Harris Scarf and I only paid $20 for it as it was on clearance, the zebra blanket was from Coles and I paid $7 for it, the Tea is by Tetley and its the Cinnamon and orange tea!

what are your winter Detox tips?

q&a get to know me

Hello lovelies I thought I would do a q&a type thing on the blog today because I'm sick and didn't have anything else planned.

This is me chilling out in my jammies
 And this is what I'll be eating for my lunch and dinner today, home cooked chicken and corn soup.

So onto the questions
Who am I? I am Jess, I'm 30 years old and I love tea and coffee (don't ask me to choose between cause I can't)

What is my job?
I currently work as a retail assistant in a charity shop, or thrift shop and I love it, its so much fun. I love interacting with the customers. And seeing what donations come in. I also do a bit of wildlife caring but I don't get paid for that as its voluntary and all out of my own pocket so the retail work is my day job. But animals are my passion.
This is my parrot Jimmy he is preening me, and we rescued him and I am giving him rehab by training him to be more social and friendly. I am also able to hand rear animals, and care for animals by giving them triage care and things like that.

What else do you do?
I'm a student, I've gone back to do my highschool degree, as I dropped out when I was young and dumb. Now I'm just dumb (joking) but no you are never to old to try and complete anything that you set your mind to.

What music do I like?
Currently I'm going through a phase where I really like rock or heavy metal, lol its quite strange as normally my taste in music is vast and varied. Favourite bands at the moment are Black Veiled brides, Taylor Momsen, Things of that nature, I don't overly enjoy heavy hard core scream bands but I do like alternative and metal. Some other faves are Metalica and Placebo. I also like Sound garden, Pearl Jam and Gun's n Roses. But I also like pop and dance music as well.


What is my favourite foods?
At the moment cause I'm trying to be healthy I'm eating a lot of soups and salads, taco's are also on the menu at home a lot but if I'm treating myself pizza is my all time favourite. I am also addicted to coffee, we recently bought a pod coffee maker and it makes the most delish coffee, and best of all it does tea as well. Coffee is food right?


Favourite animal?
I believe my spirit animal is a fox, they are my favourite wild animal even though here in Australia they are deemed as a pest and should be culled. Which I think is truly sad as they are such a magnificent animal. I know not a lot of people agree with me but I love them. Domestic favourite animals are cats! funny saying that considering I have pet birds but they come second after cats.



This is Krissy and she is mah baby!

anyways I hope you enjoyed my rather random q&a thing don't forget to find me on youtube and instagram
