Fashion & Style 3 Tips for Buying Luxury Bags Online 12:49 PM Luxury bags are an obsession to many, and it can sometimes be difficult to get your hands on the bag that you were looking for. Thankfully, technology has made it easier to find rare pieces these days. There are now more luxury brands being sold online, which allows you to get exclusive items from current and past collections from wherever you are on the globe. However, if you’ve never bought handbags online, it can be difficult to know what to look for. Here are a few tips for buying luxury bags online. 3 Tips for Buying Luxury Bags Online Check the Seller’s Reputation The first thing you should do is check the reputation of the seller; check what other people have to say online, find out how long they’ve been in operation, and check to see if they have physical locations. Stores like SSENSE, for instance, have been in operation for years and have physical locations across North America. They are the perfect online high fashion store if you’re looking for an authentic Fendi bag, for example. These luxury bags from Fendi are highly unlikely to be counterfeit, as stores with physical locations have to abide by stricter rules than online retailers. Buying from a store like this will reduce the chances that you end up with a cheap knockoff. Check Their Returns Policy In some cases, you simply might not like what the item looks like once you get it, or there might be some signs of damage. Either way, you want a retailer that makes it easy for you to exchange or return the item. So, make sure that you look into their policy in detail and make sure that it is written in simple terms. You don’t want to have to deal with some hidden clause that makes it virtually impossible to return anything. We also suggest that you give the retailer a call. Doing so will let you know if they take customer service seriously and what you can expect if you have issues. Payment Options You also want to buy from a retailer that offers safe payment options. Ideally, you want a website that allows you to buy through PayPal, and you want to make sure that they’re verified as well. This will ensure that they are who they say they are, which will give you extra protection. If you buy from a verified buyer, you’ll have greater recourse against them if anything happens. PayPal takes their clientele very seriously, which makes it easy for you to get a refund if you feel you have been misled in any way. Using PayPal also makes sure that your personal information remains safe at all times. The second-best option is to pay through a credit card. However, think twice about using your personal credit card. We would suggest that you go with a re-loadable prepaid card so that only the money on the card will be compromised if you’re dealing with a scammer. If you follow these few tips, you’ll be able to make great finds online and get the handbag you always wanted. Make sure to shop wisely, and don’t be afraid to ask about a certain site before you make any purchase.
Faith Music: Oceans (Where My Feet May Fail) by Hillsong United 2:37 AM Oceans by Hillsong United is one of the songs with the most profound lyrics I've heard about our imperfect faith and God's infinite love. His perfect love is greater than our imperfections. In our weakness, He is at His strongest. Where our human frailty limits us, He can do the impossible and bring us farther than we can wander. Our dead end is just the beginning of a new detour He has planned for us. Nothing can limit His greatness. With all that's going on right now, I thought it's right to share this music again. Let us remember how blessed we are. Let us remember how powerful our God is. He can part the ocean to let His people go. He can heal the sick and even raise the dead. There is nothing God cannot do. Let us declare in faith that this too shall pass. Our God is great than this virus. Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea or walked in the recesses of the deep? Have the gates of death been shown to you? Have you seen the gates of the deepest darkness? Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth? Tell me, if you know all this. -Job 38: 16-18 First published: 06/22/2014 8:57 PM
Quotes Don't Pursue If You're Not Ready 7:47 AM Don't pursue a heart if you're not ready. Don't pursue a heart you're not ready to be loyal to. Pursuing someone for fun or just to pass the time is insolence. It is a show of disrespect to three persons: It is disrespecting the other person's time and feelings. It is an insult to their worth. It is disrespecting the other person's future spouse. You took something that belongs to them and tainted it. Finally, it is disrespecting yourself. You are better than that. Once you realize that you are precious and see other people the same way, you will not make hasty moves. You will wait for the right person at the right moment. Believe me, you'll know when you know. Just listen to your heart. If you pursue someone knowing all too well that you will not be loyal to that person, you will make decisions that you will regret. It can get messy. Spare yourself and others of this trouble. Be in a relationship only when you're ready, not when you're lonely. Dating with no intent to marry is like going to the grocery story with no money. You either leave unhappy or take something that isn't yours. - Jefferson Bethke 01/31/14 9:18 AM Want more quotes? Follow About Life and Love on Instagram
Life Lessons Don't Dull Your Sparkle 9:14 AM Don't Dull Your Sparkle Don't dull your sparkle for people who choose to be in the dark. Some people would be bothered by how bright you shine. You remind them how dark their life is. Don't adjust for them. They've made their choice. It's time to make yours. You'll hear a lot of criticisms. You will be judged. They will try to dampen your spirit. They will laugh at your dreams. That's because they see you as the odd one. It may be because they envy you without understanding how they're feeling. They may be just confused admirers. As long as you're not hurting a soul, don't be bothered. Don't dull your sparkle for those who think your brightness is a nuisance. You are born to do great things. Don't delay your destiny just to please them. Some people are going to reject you just because you shine too brightly for them.That's okay! Keep shining. -Mandy Hale Want more quotes? Follow About Life and Love on Instagram
Life Lessons The Grass Is Greener Where You Water It 6:26 AM The grass isn't always greener on the other side. The grass is greener where you water it. Don't be deceived by envy. Sometimes the grass on the other side seem greener only because it's fake. Nourish what you have. Cherish who you have in your life. Never compare your beginning to somebody else's ending. We all have our own timing. We all have our fair share of blessings. Instead of wanting what others have that you don't, be happy for them and be grateful for what you have. Someone's praying for the kind of life you have. You are blessed more than you think. Quit looking over your shoulder and comparing your life with the next person. Comparison is the thief of joy. - Theodore Roosevelt Want more quotes? Follow About Life and Love on Instagram
