Don't be scared of the Dollar Store

As a young person who only works an the side while I am learning a "real" job I know the power of saving in the right places! When you are trying to save money, weather ur a student or anyone else, it is of incredible importance to know where to save, some things will cost far more in the long run if you don't make the investment the first time around. But there are sooo many things you can save on. And the dollar store is sooo much fun wenn you get over the often unorganized and massive pile of all kinds or things. There is also plenty of junk, or at least things that I have absolutely no use for, BUT if you have the time and a smidge of patience (and a sence of hummor) you can find so e really cool stuff at  the dollar store. And you can find stuff you might even need. Today I found some really cheep sewing materials and some ransoms things that caught my fancy. 
So my haul from the Eurofuchser earlier today consisted of dress pins, sarety pins, 2 zippers, assorted colorful thread, incense sticks, baking parchment, and chopsticks. All of which I am very happy with. 
I have two large downsides to the dollar store, but I think both of them can be over looked. Anyway, the first is that you may end up taking something with you simply becuase it a and so cheep and realize too late that you really don't need it. And while it may have cost you 50 cents, those are 50 cents you could have saved. The second problem is that it is unreliable so you have to calculate that you may still have to go somewhere else afterwards because there is no guarantee that you will find everything you needed. 
That's all for now!

Loving this May

Loving this May

This May I discovered Pinterest and it is really bad. It's become quite the time suck , and very fast. I also found an aluminum free deodorant that does work despite my suspicions. And as the days have gotten quite warm here I have been loving simple flowy tops and syrups to embellish water because I have been trying to drink even more than usual with this heat.
