Simple Advice to Take

Kylie Jenner and Selena Gomez: Fashion Icons

I'd like to believe everything has a reason. For every heartbreak comes a treasure so pure. Every failure comes a success. For every bad day comes a better day. Every depressing time comes the happiest you've ever had. It's honestly how you decide to live your life. Over time, I've taken notice how much pain people go through, though a small act of kindness could brighten someone else day.

For instance, someone out there passes into a new world such as heaven; at that very moment, someone new enters our world. Taking either the last or very first breath. It has happened for a reason. Everyone has their own destiny. Either it's being the reason someone keeps going or to make a choice. A choice to make life the best it has ever been or sitting behind a desk doing paperwork for maybe $8.50 an hour.

I bet you're sitting either on your cell phone or behind a screen reading this and thinking "Holy crap, how does she know?" I know because I'm doing the exact same thing you're doing at this very moment. Sitting behind a cell phone or a computer. For the time being, I enjoy typing and telling my stories and giving advice but like I said, for the time being. What about you? What makes you happy? What do you wish to be doing at this very moment?

Would you be chowing down on a funnel cake at a fair? Skydiving? Being a style icon? A chef? The opportunities are endless but the choice is yours. The question is what are you going to do about it? How are you going to achieve these goals? Trust me, many people will doubt you on your journey but the thing is don't listen to them. Focus on your goal and achieve it. Either it's going to college for it or working daily to make it. Whatever it takes to make it there, take it!!

You wish to be a style icon? Research what you need to be one. I only know very little about the subject but here's what I believe you will need:

  1. A sense of style. Either edgy, punk, girly, literally ANYTHING YOU'RE COMFORTABLE IN.
  2. An Instagram page. Creating a page will give others an opportunity to view your creations and displays from afar.
  3. A website or some type of way to purchase your clothing. A great app or site to sell your styles is a great way to make money from your creations. The more you sell the more you have to create. You know what that means right? More bank in your pocket!!

Mercari.com is literally the greatest app and website to either sell your styles or even household objects on. Personally, I have used the app and it has made my house so much easier to walk through. Here's a quick example of it.

The photo below shows you basically your account. Most people will only purchase from verified accounts unlike the one below. You can follow other accounts, gain followers, make money, and even get coupons! You can verify your account easily. You have many options on how to verify it. Either through Facebook, email, and phone number.

All you have to do is take a photo of your choice of clothing or object. The better the quality of the photo, the quicker it will sell. Title your post, add a description of what you're selling, pick its condition; either it's brand new, like new, good or poor. Set a price, then wait till either you get a buyer or an offer. Also, you can pick if you pay for shipping or the customer pays for shipping!! It's a quick way to make money and get rid of objects you no longer need.

Photo Quality Needed

Now that someone has purchased your item, a label will be created automatically and will be sent to your email. Print the label out, package your item and take it to your nearest Postal Service or FedEx. Then boom, it's on its way and all you have to do is press the Confirm Shipment button and wait till it's delivered. Once it's delivered, you will receive an update that it has and the final step is to rate your buyer!

Quick cash in your bank account!! Great isn't it? Those who have a dream to become a fashion icon, such as brands like Fashion Nova, Hollister, American Eagle, and even Forever 21 or let's be those celebrities such as Kylie Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Bella Hadid and the list could go on but let's not forget about Beyonce and Lady Gaga.
