Shopping made fun!

An Inside look on the Wish App

The Wish App is now one of the most downloaded Apps on the market. This savvy shopper app connects mobile users to the Wish website, where you can buy technology, clothing, make up, and shoes. If you can name it, you can sure find a cheap knock off on the Wish App. From a personal experience, I have not had any troubles with purchasing from this App. My most recent purchase includes 10 Colourpop Lip kits, all for 89 cents a piece with a dollar shipping. I mean, I couldn't help myself. Just like everything else that is too good to be true, there's always a catch. Here is guide to get the best deals from wish with out getting burned.

The biggest gripe about Wish is the extremely long shipping. Shipping ranges from 11 to 22 days depending on the item. I ordered my Colourpop on November 11th and it is expected to arrive December 9th. Luckily, shipping is really cheap. Your orders are being shipped straight from China and most items shipping cost is a dollar. That is also the reason for the extremely long shipping time. That's pretty impressive. You can keep track of your shipping and estimated arrival time from your cart. Make sure to check the shipping before purchasing, especially on larger items! Honestly, I forget about my items before they even arrive and it's like mini Christmas for yourself when you check the mail.

I know in the past ordering clothing and other items through cheap apps have been considered taboo. That is still the case when it comes to the Wish app. The best way to not get burned is to completely bypass the product photos and go straight to customer reviews. The reviews offer great insight on the product and is the safest way to go. Here customers upload actual photos of the products they receive and comment on the quality. You can also read the store rating to see how the overall company treats their orders. This is the best way to know how small a shirt runs or if it's even worth purchasing.

If you are not in a hurry to receive your items and do not mind some investigating work before purchasing this is the app for you. Wish claims to make shopping fun and for me it has. Of course I'm not going to re-do my whole wardrobe off this app but it's fun to see the cheap items they have to offer. Did I really need these cool cat coasters for my coffee table? No, but for a dollar, damn right I do.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
