HAUL | Anglicare Factory Summer Hill

Hiya readers!
So here's my long awaited haul in video form.



I had so much fun filming and editing it ^^ I found it quite awkward doing a voiceover but hopefully I get better at it! I don't know how I'm gna go about this. I'd like to shake things up a bit, change things around sometimes hehe.


Speaking of YouTube land here (whaaa? lol), I've been busy making new channels for my videos. I'm going a little crazy because my videos ranges so much that I had to separate them in categories or interests.

Therefore I'm keeping JLDMNG (my main channel) for anything kpop. That's where most of my subscribers came from and I know there's not very many of them at the moment but I'm grateful and I want to maintain them. So if you're into kpop - Big Bang and 2NE1 in particular, please subscribe! YAY!

Another source of my subscribers is all from my YFC (Youth For Christ) camp videos. I'm trying to be more involved than I already am and I'm pretty sure I'll be posting more videos up. If you're from my youth group, hollerrrrrrrr at yo gurll! That You Tube channel is JLDMNG4YFC - clever right?

As for my other interests which is fashion/beauty/travel, I placed the videos at jlmdng4versusreality. Every single video uploaded will be featured on a post so no need to subscribe, unless you're super duper cool then yes, please do ^^

I'm still contemplating whether I should make a new channel with my (singing) covers but I'm not brave enough haha :(

Brownie points to whoever guessed what "jldmng" is/stands for LOL. It's a no brainer really.
Til next time!

A date with my sister


Haiii readers!
My sister, hnhmryl, and I went on an adventure earlier this week. Not so much an adventure but a chilled hangout :) Lemme tell you how "chill" this is. I'm wearing my go-to leather jacket, favourite (worn out) combat boots and my everyday-reached shoulder bag.

We recorded bits and bobs of our day.. Not so much inside the warehouse only because we only had an hour left to shop.

Enjoy..

Saw One Direction and took a photo with them. They were just across the street but I was shy..
Waiting for our train
Free side dishes { kimchi | seaweed | bean sprouts | sweet potato }
Deep Fried Chicken in Spicy Sauce $18
Boiled Dumplings $10

Stay tuned. Haul post or video will be up soon yay!

One man's trash is another man's treasure

Harro readers! 
I'm back =]

I went thrifting (or us Aussies like to call it - op shopping) around Penrith about two weeks ago. If you're not familiar with op shops, it's basically a charity store filled with donated secondhand goods. Salvation Army aka Salvos sells  just about everything from clothing, to furnitures, to home wares. This one is my defs my fave! They always have 50% off on clothing. Everyday is a different coloured tags. Lifeline also sells the same things though a little more pricey - I haven't seen many of these around. Anglicare shops are more on clothing. They tend to have better quality-looking stock and by that I mean less smelly and no obvious stains and pulls haha plus their store seems more organised. With the effort they seem to put in might be the reason why their items are quite pricey than the rest.

What you'll need:
patience - look through everything, you don't wna miss a good piece.
open mind - remember that it's not your regular retail store, things will have a scent and not every item is in perfect condition. Think of what you can do with an item, make it your own.
cash - or a debit/credit card. Most thrift stores have a minimum eftpos of $10. So if you're willing to spend more than the minimum amount then you're good to go.
carry bag - some shops don't provide any and with some you have to pay for one (Salvos 95c)


Here's all the items I happily invested:
^ Lifeline | Teal oversized jumper | Medium | $12
I'm usually a xs - s type of girl but this fit me really good, I didn't have to fold the sleeves. It came with thick shoulder pads - thank goodness it was detachable!
^ Salvos | Red bloch pattern zip-up blouse | no size but assuming it's 8 | $6 cut down to $3
This one really stood out for me. Loved the pattern, collars and zipper. I wasn't to fond of the shoulder pads at first but when I tried the top on, you can barely notice, it actually add something to it.
^ Salvos | Cream High-neck long sleeve top | no size, looks like a kids top lol  $5 cut down to $1
I think it really is a kid's top because the neck line is really small but to my defence, I got it from the ladies section!
Super duper comfortable!
^ Salvos | again, no size but assuming it's a S | $5
I have no idea what to call this skirt. The pattern is to die for! I'm getting really fond of the pattern (see scarves below).
Elasticised thick waist band; tutu feeling; satin-like material
^ Lifeline | Sheer Sparkly 3/4 sleeve dress | M | $6
I'm not quite sure if it's a dress since it's a size medium. I will wear it as a dress with a body con skirt under just in case :P
It's really stunning on, I just wish I had a sewing machine to stitch the arms tighter.
^  Salvos | Sheer Kimono throw over | size 16 | $5 cut down to $1
It looks better in person! I know it's winter now, but defs a good use for spring/summer.
^ Salvos | Marble Denim Jeans | size 14 kids |  $8 cut down to $4
Zomgg, this jeans fits me like a glove! I was ready to check out my items when I saw this in the corner of my eye. Pretty sure it's not branded, it's from Target but I don't care :]
^ Salvos | Fun Patterned Oversized Jacket | $8
Fits quite big on me, but it's such a fun looking jacket. Couldn't say no to it! Did I mention warm?!
^ Salvos | Large Square/ Rectangular Scarves  | $2 each

Here's me modelling the items on my balcony. I apologise for the lighting inconsistency. It was hard trying to catch the light. Damn daylight savings =="
