JustFab Experience & Review

Hi Lovelies! Recently I decided to join JustFab just out of the blue. haha. I actually heard about JustFab  long while ago, but never thought I would be interested. Reason being that they sell mostly shoes and I always felt shoes should not be purchase online since the fit is quite critical even if the size is right.

However, with JustFab, you get free exchange and return so it is pretty risk free. You also get 50% off initial purchase, so that’s a pretty good deal! Most of their shoes are 39.95 ( they also have less expensive shoes and accessories), but with 50% off, it’s only 19.95! It’s pretty good deal for the quality that you get with JustFab! They also often have 2 pairs for $39.95 deal!

If you want to watch my YouTube Video instead of reading, here it is. Though I would still suggest to browse through my detail pictures so you can decide for yourself if you like the quality of their products =)





Continuing on my blogpost:
I decided that it was risk free enough so I made a purchase. This is what I got:



I thought my DSLR would bring the color more true to life.. or maybe it’s just my eyes that’s seeing a different color? Because I see all their brochure and website have this yellow color as well. However in reality, I think it’s a bit more mustard color. Not very dark, but darker than this. 


More detail pix 


Side view. Elegant right? 


Back view. I love the details on the heels! 


There is actually an orange color to this same shoe, with black and white sole. just FYI. 

 

I thought the design was beautiful, it came pretty much in exactly what I expected. 
I think for the quality it was really a steal!


Close up Detail here. 


Tada! ...Although I am planning to return it and get another pair instead because I realize the shoes does not fit me very well.....


See the space between my foot and the shoe? No good for walking! I was a bit sad since I really like the overall design and color. I did had to decide my pair from few other pairs I picked out in JustFab, so I was ready to do the exchange.

I called the customer service and told them what I want to exchange and they help me prepare the postage for return. Exchange and return is totally free, they only charge if you ever ask for a refund. Which I feel is unnecessary because there are plenty of shoes to choose from. Also you can always use the credit for future purchase if you don’t find something you like now. The customer service told me that they would need to know what item I am exchanging into and help me with the return postage. I didn’t decide exactly which pair I want yet, so we went off the phone and I went searching for my new pair of shoes.

The searching for new shoes took a while because I was too busy. When I finally had the time to look, I realize most of the shoes I was interested in was sold out. A bit disappointed, I looked into bags. I was tempted to purchase “Miller” 



which is pretty much a Celine Bag look a like. But I feel I have too many handheld handbags & I am actually more into sling bags now for comfort. So at the end, I decided on another pair of shoes instead.

Here is the pair of shoes I got:

Sherona in Taupe


This is not the normal type of shoes that I would get. Usually I am only tempted to buy high heels, super girly shoes. Which I still love, but I don’t always wear them to the extent that they deserve! ha 


This pair of sneaker wedges is perfect for my “ whatever” shoes! 
Basically shoes that I can almost wear to anywhere and not kill my feet! 


I wore this and it was really comfortable. The shoe also makes my feet look smaller.. which I love because I kind of have a big feet =P 


Back Detail 


Tada! My first pair of sneaker wedges! 


Loving it and not returning it! 

       


The process of return was easy, all you have to do is print out the repaid postage that customer service will send you via Email ( Supposedly you can request return online as well without customer service, but my account was not allowing me to for some reason. ) Pack up your still new condition item and drop it off at the post office. Once the return item is in transit, JustFab will send you the new item.

For me, I was notified by Email that my new shoes were ship out on the second day after I mail back my pair. I received the shoes in just a few days.

The one thing about JustFab is that it’s actually a subscription service. So like any other beauty box or fashion box or whatever monthly box you get, this is the same. If you find something you like, then you can make the decision between 1-5th of the month. If you don’t, you can skip a month or cancel at anytime. If you forget to skip a month, they will charge credit on your account to be use at a future time. So if you’re indecisive like me, just skip the month until you have time to look. Because you can always make a purchase even after you skip a month.

Oh, but don’t forget, you get points for everything you purchase, and with enough points you get to use it in exchange for their products for FREE!!!!

Overall I think I am liking the service. The return and exchange was no hassle and the customer service was nice. The quality of the project is pretty awesome of the price. So what more can you ask for? It’s basically risk free with the free return and exchange. I think this is what online shopping should really be about: to be able to shop at the convenience of your home and no extra charge of shipping/return/exchange = AWESOME !



I hope you enjoy my sincere review. 
Let me know what you think & what you’re getting!

DIY Flower Board Decor

Hi Lovelies! I have made a tutorial on how to DIY a flower board.
( I forgot to post this blogpost when I post my video on youtube.. lol... but in case somehow you missed it.. here is the blog post =P)

I think it is really fun and easy project to brighten up your room!

Here are the items you would need: 

Artificial flowers - depending on the board, the amount you need would vary,
I personally bought about 13 stems , each one have about 6 flowers

Glue gun and glue stick - obviously to glue the flowers to the board

Scissors 

String - to hang the flower board, but you can skip this if you want to just place the flower board somewhere without hanging it 

 See this video for tutorial!

5 Tips on How to maintain a Healthy Relationship

Hi Lovelies. No matter what your current status are, there is always room to think about how to maintain a relationship. Today’s post is focus on relationship between a couple.

If you don’t want to read, go ahead and watch my video.
It’s not word for word, but basically the same idea.


Usually people are afraid of relationships to go downhill once it reach a certain amount of time. Take Hollywood for example, it seems like celebrities can rarely maintain a marriage over 7 years. The common people should have a longer marriage retention, but assumes that life will become boring, intimacy becomes less over time and some even expect the other ( especially the man) to cheat simply because the (wife) other is getting old, or focus too much on the kids/career, what not. 

These are pretty scary things, no one likes to invent years of their life in a relationship just to end up in a divorce or dealing with infidelity. So how to you maintain a relationship? More importantly a healthy one that stays happy? 

Tip # 1 - Look at positive happy couples. 

It’s easy to be pessimistic when you look at the tabloids and see all these celebrities getting divorce every other day. Or watching cheater shows that constantly show you cheaters cheating on their other half.  You think there is no hope for marriage or just relationships in general, you don’t want to invest your heart into a relationship because you don’t want to get hurt. 

That’s obvious, we don’t want to get hurt, but look at all the happy couples. WHAT ARE THEY DOING TO BE HAPPY? & this couple can be anyone, young, old, celebrities, youtubers... people you know really well or people you barely know. Of course if you know someone, it’s easier to actually talk to them to find out their little tips. If you don’t know anyone,  I think the easiest couple to study are youtube couples in v-logs. You can study how they interact, and see how that is different then yourselves. Try out some of the things they’re doing to see if it helps your relationship. 

Tip # 2 - Have Charity

It’s really easy for relationship to go downhill in a bad cycle. Maybe he did something to piss you off, and so you decide to not be as nice back... one thing lead to another and it’s just a bad cycle going on. Instead, decide to do something nice, consider it as charity ( where you don’t expect any nice in return). Without that expectation, anything he does do in return will make you much happier. & if he doesn’t, you won’t be disappointed either. ( Though if he NEVER does anything nice for you, you might need to re-evaluated the relationship) 

Tip # 3 - Have Romance/ Don’t be lazy. 

There is a saying how romance dies with a marriage. I hate that saying and who-ever made it up is obviously having a bad marriage. Romance doesn’t have to die with marriage, but people like to believe in that. ( I think this can also apply with people who may be in a relationship for over 5 years or living together). The main reason is laziness. Guys like to believe after marriage, their “ chase is done” and no longer wants to send flowers or write nice cards or whatever they did while they were dating. Well, there is a reason why people “DATE”, which is to find out if the person is right. & you would be DECEIVING the other if you act differently before and after marriage. 

Romance is not just for dating, it’s actually an essential trait that people need. Some people are ok with minimum romance in their life, others need it more. Changing how you treat your other half simply because you’re married or living together will make them believe you don’t love them as much anymore. No matter how you explain it ( focusing on career, kids, whatever), or how they accept it ( nodding head, telling you it’s ok, she understands) will not change how they feel in the HEART. Action speaks louder than words. Life gets busy, but you have to PLAN your life to make sure romance will still exist no matter how long you been together. 

Tip # 4 - Set your Priorities straight. 

Once you’re in a serious relationship, you have to think in two’s. Be considerate and always consider the other’s feeling when making decisions. Better yet, make decisions together. A serious relationship means a possibility of marriage, or may you’re already in a marraige. You want to build a life and family together. There are many important decisions from small to big. As for what decisions are small enough to make your own, you’ll just have to evaluate it yourself, everyone is different. Often a small decision can become a big one, so make the habit of making your other half your priority so you can think and act more as one family. You also want to make sure you are spending enough time with them. Depending on your situations you may have to sacrifice somethings in order to have enough time with your other half. 

Tip # 5 - Have a Life of your own 

While making your other half the priority is essential, you cannot lose your own life, or friends. Make sure you don’t sacrifice ALL of your time for your other half and forget to continue your own hobbies like playing your favorite instrument, painting, dancing, etc, or having girls/guys time with your friends or family. You’re still a individual person who needs to be able to feel self fulfillment on your own. If you are able to be content with yourself, then you’re less liking to be unhappy in your relationship. Since you will be happy with or without your partner, just that being with your partner will make you EVEN HAPPIER. =) 

Alright that’s my 5 tips to share. Hope that helps!

My Birthday Diary


Hi Lovelies. I finally go to edit my photos from my birthday. I kind of feel like it’s long time ago already.. haha. But better late then never right? Especially since my red hair has now faded to orange. I am glad I snapped more photos while it was red! Although I do plan to dye my hair red again once I am free. The more I look at my pictures the more I love the red.. haha..

So anyways, for my birthday I decided to go to downtown Disney. Why? Because I love disney! Especially Mickey Mouse. & I would love to take a mickey home but all the mickeys are made so ugly now! I should probably make a post about mickey... because it’s been years now of the ugly mickey production and I am so sick of it! I really want to buy more mickeys! 

Ok enough of Mickey talk. let’s move on to pictures.. 


Feel like such a tourist for posing here.. haha but I thought I would need a picture here so whenever I look back in pictures I know exactly where I was!
