Day 9 - 2014 - NWT

 

  Is everyone up on the selling lingo?  Know what NWT stands for?  I feel like someone who isn't into buying items from online auctions like eBay would not know what it stands for but it's New With Tags.  I have many items that are NWT that will be auctioned off this year.  This is a dress from Guess that I've never worn (and I've had it for a few years) so why not try and sell it.  Here is a short guide to some other eBay abbreviations.   Friendly reminder that a new episode of Toned Up airs tonight on Bravo at 10:30.

Day 8 - 2014 - Viva la Juicy

  Viva la Juicy used to be my scent!  But I'm over it now and on to smelling even better :)  I had purchased these gift sets at least a year or two ago (does perfume expire?) and I want to sell them now.  Anyone interested?  I think these might be a good item to add to those garage sale websites on Facebook such as Leighann's List or North Jersey Garage Sale.

Day 7 - 2014 - Let's talk exercise

It’s 7 days into the year and I haven’t joined a gym yet.  I told myself January 1^st I’d get on that.  I’m lazy and it’s cold and I know I’ll join a gym, commit for at least a year to get the lowest monthly rate, and never go.  Someone needs to motivate me!   I had a Jazzercise membership for the past 2 years and I probably only went a handful of times (and now the membership is over).  I was going to check out Focus T25 and join a challenge group but it’s expensive and am I really going to do it?  I have P90X sitting right next to my TV and haven’t touched it in years.  And then I got intrigued by a new reality show on Bravo (my favorite) called Toned Up.  It’s about two girls, Karena and Katrina, who are best friends and work out partners that live in California.  They have their own channel on YouTube of exercise videos and in watching the first episode it seems like they have motivated many women out there!  So maybe they can motivate me?  So that’s my plan…and I’m going to starttttt Monday?  I need to do a little more research and find out if there is a certain workout plan to follow or if I just select random workouts to do.  So stay tuned and follow my workout/weight loss journey!  Anyone want to join me?

As for my item(s) of the day, might as well be something workout related.  I have a drawer(s) dedicated to workout clothes (when I did enjoy going to Jazzercise).  Here are the contents…

 

 The piles include:

30 - Tank tops

35 - Tops

20 - T-shirts

20 - Sweatpants

15 - Capris

15 - Shorts

Many of these are either too small or really old but there are some nice items in here including old Juicy Couture t-shirts and many velour sets. So while most of these are going straight to the donation bin, I feel like I could maybe sell some as a “lot” on eBay and maybe make a few bucks!

If my favorite celebrity can have abs like this only a few months after having a baby, there is no reason why I should settle on my mush!  Time to make use of these clothes and get to work!

Day 6 - 2014 - Let's talk Ebates

I've been talking about Ebates for years and some people have caught on and use it but others haven't bothered and are really missing out on tons of money.  Like hundreds of dollars!  Well that is only if you online shop but even if you only do it once in a while the money will add up!  To date since 2010, I'm close to $800 in earnings.  That's FREE money!!!  So take advantage people here is my referral link...use it!   Click here to sign up because Kristen said so!

As for what I am getting rid of today...another Arden B dress.  This one had a more hefty price tag but looks like I only bought it for $38 according to my Arden B online account.  This one is from July 2012.  When I got engaged I felt the urge to go shopping for any kind of white or ivory dress for all those bridal events like the engagement photo shoot, shower, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner etc.  So as much as I shop you can imagine the collection of white dresses I now I have and why I have some with tags that need to be sold now.

       

Day 5 - 2014 - Charm Ruched Tube Dress

 

   Here is another item that's been on eBay for a few times.  I just went into my ArdenB.com account to see when I purchased it.  September 29, 2009 and for $78.  I have it listed for $25 but will lower it to see if I can sell it.  Again, if not it will get donated.  Any interest?  I'll share my eBay store link as soon as I get these items listed!   FYI - if you read yesterday's post I returned 3 of those watches and got a $25 store credit :)

Day 4 - 2014 - Fashion Watches!

 

  When I saw these watches a couple years ago at Francescas I felt like I had to have them #1 because I like cheap fake rhinestones on anything, and #2 because of the various colors that could match any outfit!  And for some reason I thought I had to have 2 of the white ones as you can see.  I have definitely worn the black, white and tan.  The pink is still in the package and not sure the brown ever got worn.  The price tag on the back of the packaged ones say $20.  Did I really spend $120 on cheap gaudy fashion watches?  Yup sounds like me!  These have been sitting in a draw taking up space for awhile now since I hardly ever think to wear them and I don't wear a watch on a regular basis.  I think I might attempt to take them back to the store to see if they'd take back at least the ones still in the package.  What do you think?  Wouldn't mind getting a store credit to use at this store for more clothes!  Just what I need :)

Day 3 - 2014 - Bebe circa 2007

        I used to love tops from Bebe and that was one of my go-to stores for "going out tops."  This shirt was from 2007 and I even found a photo of me wearing it back in the day!  And I even found a photo of my friend Kathryn with it on but I'll refrain from posting a photo of her in it too :)  I've already had this posted on eBay a few times for $14.99 (a top like this was probably originally somewhere between $49-$69). So I'll either try lowering it or this one will get donated!  TGIF!
