thredUP review

thredUP is an online consignment store with tons of brand name clothes for awesome prices. They have women's clothes, shoes and accessories. They have clothes and shoes for kids as well. I check the site regularly and there are some really great deals. They let you know the condition of the item (brand new, minor flaw, etc.) You can also sell your clothes to thredUP but I haven't tried that yet. I made an account months ago and I finally ordered something a few weeks ago. I'm really picky when it comes to clothes, especially when buying online. I normally like trying everything on, I'm not great at knowing what will look good on me. So instead of just guessing, I searched for brands that I know fit me well (PINK, Abercrombie & Fitch, Juicy, Hollister). After placing my order, it took a little over a week to get my clothes.

I love the color of the box and the cute polka dots!

 

I decided to keep it simple for my first order so I ended up buying a sweater and a shirt, I really need some new winter clothes so this is a good start. The sweater I picked is an Abercrombie sweater, it said there was a minor flaw but I don't see anything wrong with it. It's grey, oversized and so comfy, I love it! I will be wearing it a lot during the fall/winter, especially in the house since it gets so cold and like I said, it's extra comfy and cozy! Anyone who knows me, knows that comfort is very important when it comes to my wardrobe. The other shirt I got was from Victoria's Secret PINK collection. It's a long sleeved bright pink lightweight shirt, I love these shirts from PINK, I have about ten of them. I know that's kind of overkill but they are perfect for throwing on with yoga pants and running to the store or anywhere casual. This one was actually brand new with the tags still on and I paid so much less than I normally would have for it. I am very happy with my first purchase from thredUP and I will definitely continue to browse the site from time to time, I'm sure I will place an order again soon. If you want to find out more, check out their site, you can get $10 off your first purchase by using my referral - Melissa's thredUP referral.

May favorites

It's almost the end of the month so it's time to share some of my mommy and baby favorites for May, I decided to do them together this month.

Mommy & baby favorites for May!

Honest Co. products – I signed up for free Honest Co. samples a while ago (I only had to pay for shipping), I picked the diapers/wipes bundle and the essentials bundle (lotion, soap, shampoo, body wash, etc). I got them pretty quick but I put them away and forgot until a few weeks ago. I really love these samples! All of their products are eco friendly and all natural. I’m not a crunchy mom but I’m never opposed to all natural products, I think it’s great. The shampoo and lotion smell amazing and the diapers are awesome (no leaks) I almost didn’t want to put them on her because they are so adorable, I picked all the girly patterns. I’m pretty bummed that we used up most of our samples already. I plan on buying more when I can but right now I’m trying to save some money. I wonder if Jessica Alba answers the phone at Honest Co? I swear it sounded exactly like her when I called to cancel, I wanted to ask but whoever it was would probably think I was crazy (unless it really was her!) Anyways, I will be buying more of this sometime in the future, hopefully soon! You can check out the Honest Co. website to see everything that is included in their bundles. They recently announced on their Facebook page that the products will be available at Target soon, I am definitely going to check that out.

I Heart My Little A-Holes book - This book seriously had me cracking up so much that I had to stop reading it in bed. I thought I was going to wake up Paul with my laughing. The first few chapters were just hysterical; there was also some serious stuff. If you’re a mom (or even thinking about becoming a mom) and you need a good laugh (which we all do), I highly recommend this book. I finished it in a few days, I couldn’t put it down.

PINK body mist: Total Flirt – My mom had this and I loved it so she got me one. I don’t really like wearing perfume in the summer because it’s so strong. I feel like body mist is a lot lighter (if that makes sense) and this has a clean and summery smell to it. I’ve already used it a lot; I don’t think it will last the whole summer.

Mommy Loves book - This was an add on from our Citrus Lane box. Olivia changes with the wind. One day she loves something, the next she does not. Right now this is her favorite book. It’s really cute, every page has a different animal and it says “Mommy cat loves her kittens” so it teaches kids what all the baby animals are called. At the end it says “Most of all, my mommy loves me!” Olivia gets a huge smile on her face when I read that part, it’s pretty stinkin adorable.
