Unemployment has its perks

The best part of being unemployed is that you have a lot of time. It's actually the worst part too.
Anyway, I have finally made a jewelry hanger for my necklaces. I saw the idea somewhere on the internet and added some of my own stuff. I used a wooden hanger, nails, beads, some ribbon and thread...and voila:




It's really easy to make and very practical:) So go and DIY!


Bye, my invisible friends!

Second-hand shopping, again!

Well hello,

so recently I've visited several SH shops and I've bought some stuff. New things mostly.
These 3 Stradivarius tank tops were new and with price tags; all together they cost me 2,9eur (10lt):


I also bought this cardigan for 2,9 eur (10lt),  it was new but it didn't have a price tag attached. I also purchased this Stradivarius skirt for 5eur (17,5lt), it was new and had a price tag:


Sorry for my yellow face. I also got this plain shirt or blouse or callitasyouwish for 0,86eur (3lt) and this one wasn't new:


And the last but not least, I bought this tube scarf. I know it's lame and unoriginal, but I don't like caps, hats and all that stuff and my new winter coat doesn't have a hood, so I will be able to cover my ears with this huge scarf. It was new and with a price tag and cost me 5,8 eur (20lt):



And that's all for today.

Adios, my invisible friends!

Who's the boss?

If someone asked us, who's the boss in our family, we (me and my better half) would definitely know the right answer. It's our cat. It's a boy and he's a Russian blue cat. In the morning he wakes us up with his purring, he just jumps into our bed, walks around us, and purrs. And when we switch off the lights his vision improves and he makes such a storm..
But we love him. He's adorable and we cannot imagine our life without him.


So I'm definitely a cat-person.

Good bye, my invisible friends!

Second-hand shopping

I usually buy clothes on sales, since I don't have much money, but from time to time I also like to visit some second-hand shops. This week I went to such a shop and found some nice things:
I was looking for a sweter or a cardigan and found this one. It cost about 3,5€ and it looked almost new:


I also foud these swimsuit pants for 0,3€ with a nice bow:) Completely new, with a price tag:


Now this new bra cost me 1,8€, but I've been wearing it for a couple of days and it feels so soft. I think it's a seamless bra, though I'm not sure. And the straps can be worn in 3 different ways, cool:


And the last but not least, the nicest bra I've ever had: cost me just 0,7€ and I'm so happy that it fits me! Also new and sososo adorable:


And that's all:) I love how such things can lighten my mood!

Au revoir, my invisible friends!

Let's make a T-shirt!

¡Hola! 
Somehow, I come up with various creative ideas when I have tons of serious work to do. So last week I was wandering in a shopping centre and I saw something like this in New Yorker:



Of course I thought "What a nice t-shirt" since I like laces and stuff. But it cost I think about 10 and I wasn't going to waste 10€ on a T-shirt. So I just looked for some sales and cheaper clothes. Then I saw a plain white T-shirt for about 1€, the size was XL (wheras my T-shirt size is S/M):


But I thought "what the heck, that will do" and I bought this T-shirt:)
When I went back home I started to search for some stuff and that's what I came up with:


So I simply cut a heart shape out of this pink lace and sewed it down to the white T-shirt. I made a ribbon and added a shiny button to it and voilà, cheap and hand-made:



Actually, it's a close-fitting T-shirt, so even the XL size fits me quite well, however I had to add a band on the back, so the shoulder wouldn't fall of:


So here you have - a nice and cheap T-shirt. It may not look so cool as the T-shirt in the first picture, but mine is hand-made and that's what makes it so special!

See you later, my invisible friends!

Bonjour!

It's quite hard for young people to start their own life these days. Well, at least in my country. I'm not complaining, life is more fun, when there are problems to be solved and so on. But still, when you (i.e. a young adult) start to live on your own (and if you're not a child of Hiltons or any other madly rich people), you have to live on a budget. A very tiny budget I should say. So I'm one of those young people and, oh Evolution, I like buying. BUYING CHEAP (can I say it like that?anyway).
So this time we (me and my better half) bought a vacuum cleaner:)
We call it Bubmlebee, because it looks just like the famous Autobot, look:
So our Bublebee's brand is Riwa. People say it's cheap sh**. Well, for 1200W it works quite well (I've used it for more thant two weeks almost every day). The package, besides the vacuum cleaner, included 3 paper bags for all the dust and trash.
On the whole, it does the job well, it looks nice (if you're into Transformers) and it's extremely cheap: we bought it in a local store ant it cost us about 17€.
If you live on a small budget and you have a couple of carpets that have to be vacuumed, it(Riwa W003R) is a great choice for you!


Bye, my invisible friends!

Well, heyhihello!

It's not gonna be legendary, unfortunately  my life is not as cool as Barney Stinson's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barney_Stinson). But it's gonna be something, that I can promise. I'm not a beauty nerd or a fashion know-it-all so there won't be any tips on that. However, I wear clothes, I use some body care products, and especially I like to buy everything as cheap as possible, so maybe I'll show you how I do that:) Or maybe I'll talk about my life and the things I like. There are many things I like. Well, anyway.
Since I'm about to lose my bloging virginity, I hope it's gonna feel good.

Hasta la vista, my invisible friends!
