ebay – my personal experience…

currently i am selling some stuff on ebay (to reinvest the money in fancy & expensive designer bags :-)) but somehow i have the feeling that my ‘ebay-selling’ never runs smoothly…

as i am not a frequent ebayer i am very often lost due to my missing technical skills.

e.g.:

request: can i buy the dress of your auction directly for a certain price.

me: sure!

… and then i was quite lost… how to set this transaction up correctly?1

that i receive the money and that all tasks are presented accurate…

as said: that always happens…

anytime i try to sell stuff on ebay i am very euphoric, but then – always – things pop up and i am total frustrated and it really makes me total unsecure! i don’t know why?!

i am only relieved when i received the money, the buyer received the item and the reviews are done.

but until that – i am a bundle of nerves…

you don’t want to know what happened when i tried to sell my iphone on ebay.

i did sell it – sure, but that was as well connected with huge e-mailing and workload…

so far so good – one item sold (hopefully the execution will run smoothly… just received the mail that sth with paypal is not working *ugh*) and three more to go……..

i think i am just more a 'buyer' than a 'seller' ;-)

i am officially hooked!!

ever since i bought my first expensive designer bag bag in June – i am absolutely addicted!!

back in june i spoiled myself with the michael kors jet set item chain tote in vanilla :-)

(which is not that expensive, but was a huge step for me!)

i had an eye on that bag for quite a while but never could make a decision about the color…

that is btw. my main issue with buying an expensive designer bag – i can never decide about the color!!

so… back in june i got slightly panicked that this bag will be sold out… so i ordered!!!

first i received the notification that it was sold out… and i thought: great – now that i made up my mind and finally ordered it is sold out.

i had no high hopes, but one week later a huge (really huge!?!) package was placed at my porch.

there it was… totally chic and clean, and i was immediately in love!

before i had the ‘the more the merrier’- attitude when it comes to handbags… so i have quite a collection of handbags in every color, every shape… mainly form h&m, zara, accessorize, etc.

but ever since the mk-experience i am no more interested in those bags (or to be more precise: to buy bags at h&m & co). i always think if i save that money, i can spend it for a designer bag ;-)

as you can see now i am hooked and addicted!

as mentioned i always have the color issue… the bag has to match the outfit… etc. and vanilla is not a color for the season ahead…

now I just ordered the stella mccartney 'falabella' in light grey… ooops…

and hot on my x-mas whishlist is the marc jacobs 'too hot to handle hobo' in black…

PS:  every time i run around with my mk bag – i notice a different behavior:

- on myself: i totally take care of the bag (e.g. i don’t put it on the ground)

- on others: when they give you an approving once over – i know it is mega-superficial, but somehow i receive a different perception… 

want some...

recently i was about to clean out my closet and i found a few things that i haven't even worn once...
so i thought it's about time to get rid of them.
but as this stuff is still in very good condition (as said... somethings not even worn once!) & as this stuff is quite nice (designer collabroations with H&M) i will put them in ebay!
have a look if you like!

dogeared

I am a very big fan of Tiffany’s – especially the Return to Tiffany collection I like very much.

It is perfect for everyday, and for me every-day-jewelry has to stay on all the time!

Once I take it off I usually forget to put it back on in the rush of the morning that I always tend to have…

Ever since my wedding band is gold i am looking for some delicate yellow gold jewelry!

And there Tiffany is a tad over pricey…

That’s when I found dogeared:

I already have 2 delicate necklaces, the whishbone and the karma necklace.

I am a strong believer in karma! As in what goes around comes around J

And I want more!!  

Currently on my whishlist are: 

- Some bracelets as the karma bracelet and the infinity bracelet
  (I like a good armparty!)

- The infinity necklace

- The ‘pearls of friendship’ for a bday gift!

- Pearls of love for me!

- Make a wish on irish linen bracelet

oily affair

checking out the drugstores lately for some new hair treatments, it seems that everything contains now oil...

assuming it all started with morocain oil... which is the best, obvi!

everytime i order at amazon i add this tiny little bottle to my cart!

but now a great variety of other products are now available...

of course, i tried some of them... ;-)

...i have to admit that i am a little addicted when it comes to new shampoos and conditioners... 

i always have to try it, and - of course - i buy the whole series... shampoo, conditioner, leave-in-conditioner, etc...

here is what i got from the oily treatments:

morocain oil - love it!! the best!! but a bit pricey and hard to get...

dove nourishing oil care: always love the 'dove-smell'!  

fructis oil repair 3: never was a fan of fructis, but the oil repair 3 convinced me! and i love the miraculous oil!

the good cause

yesterday i attended the special olympics in garmisch patenkirchen.

special olympics are the games for mentally disabled people.

i was a volunteer at the snowshoe-run.

me and my team we had a great time and some good fun in the snow!

it was – again – a very good experience!

i can only recommend the special olympics, if not as volunteer, you should go there as visitor!

the athletes have great spirits and the games have a fantastic and catching atmosphere!

it goes with the slogan: everyone is a winner!

for me it is very important to give something back and i am very proud that my company supports the special olympics!

Kicking of 2013…

Now that we made it through the first weeks of 2013, it turns out that my New Year’s resolution of taking it slow and relaxing a bit more is already fading…

The first half-year seems already quite busy with big birthday parties (bunch of my girls, including me will turn 30 this yearK), dancing classes, and fitness classes, business trips, outside meetings, bachelor parties and weddings…

So… let’s see how 2013 will turn out. I think personally it will be an exciting year!

I am all into finding and buying a new (bigger) place for us, so this is my big goal for 2013!!

Keep your fingers crossed that we find our dream house/ apartment!
