Thrift Shop Princess


I went to my local thrift shop yesterday. Well actually I went to two of them.
So during my foray into the exciting world of 70's sheath dresses and sparkly tops, I noticed the abundance of geek chic sandals; shoes that are showing up everywhere right now! Only these little woven beauties were priced at $5.00 instead of $60 and upwards!



Unfortunately, I have ginormous feet(9), which when thrifting is like being the incredible hulk in the petite section. But, if you have smaller feet, definitely check out your local thrift shop for some bargain geeky sandals.

Look at the way my acquaintance Wesley Virgin's story starts in this SHOCKING and controversial video.

Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he found hidden, "mind control" tactics that the CIA and others used to get everything they want.

These are the same secrets lots of celebrities (especially those who "became famous out of nowhere") and top business people used to become rich and famous.

You probably know that you use less than 10% of your brain.

That's because most of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

Maybe that expression has even taken place IN YOUR very own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind around 7 years back, while driving an unlicensed, trash bucket of a car without a license and $3 in his pocket.

"I'm absolutely fed up with living paycheck to paycheck! When will I get my big break?"

You've been a part of those those questions, ain't it so?

Your own success story is going to start. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.

WATCH WESLEY SPEAK NOW

As claimed by Stanford Medical, It is really the ONLY reason this country's women live 10 years longer and weigh 19 KG lighter than us.

(And really, it really has NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret exercise and really, EVERYTHING to do with "how" they are eating.)

P.S, I said "HOW", and not "what"...
