Midwest Second Hand Style!
Retail Prices Beware! This site is going to teach you to be a Budget Shopper! Save tons of money Second Hand Shopping,Budget Shopping, and Sales Rack Shopping. Also learn when you should invest a little more money.
Unplug Your Appliances!
Appliances use energy even when the power button is off. Unplug your appliances to offset heating and air conditioning bills. Budget shoppers appreciate a good deal, and I saved a bundle last Summer by unplugging my Coffee pot, coffee grinder, several lamps, and my microwave when I left for work. When I compared energy bills with neighbors, mine was almost $40 less Because only essentials were plugged in while I ran my air conditioner!
Shop the Farmer’s Market
Locally grown produce is fresh, tasty, and more than ever organic! When you buy local produce, it doesn’t have to be shipped across country or across the sea! That means you are reducing your yearly carbon emissions and getting all your vitamins and minerals at the same time. Yummy!
Plan Ahead
Budget Shoppers plan ahead! Check local newspapers and online bulletins. Sometimes entire neighborhoods or apartment complexes have one big sale. This makes your bargain shopping one stop shopping!
Also Check out Estate Sale Listings for deep discounted antique furniture. Antique furniture has a life of its own and adds style to any space.
Have an Open Mind
There is nothing wrong with shopping at garage sales. Buying second hand reduces waist and additional manufacturing emissions. It is also a great source of low impact exercise and a cool way to meet locals.

Do Not Color Your Hair Black If you Have Red Facial Hair!
I have been seeing this lately at clubs and bars. Blue Black Hair Color With Reddish Blonde Facial Hair Looks Odd. If you want to be punk and have blue black hair, you need to have a clean shave unless you have naturally dark facial hair.
Layer Clothing For Modern Look!
Layer A Graphic Tee Over A Black Thermal For Modern Young Look. Great For Cooler Climates Becasue you can have your sleeves up or down depending on the temperature.
Layer A Graphic Tee Under A Button Up Top. Make it look professional with a Vintage Sports Jacket.
Skin Tone
Hair color should work with your skin tone. The best way to determine skin tone in relation to hair color is eye color.
Most people describe their eyes as one color, like blue, green, brown, or hazel. If you look closely, you will see that your eye color is made of dozens of tiny individual specks of color. There is usually a predominant color, and small specks of other colors concentrated around the pupils and rest of your eyes.
As an example, if you have dark brown eyes with caramel specks, you should have caramel highlights with a darker brown base, NOT BLEACHED OUT BLONDE.
Blow Dry Hair 80% Dry Before Using a Hair Brush
Wet Hair Is Fragile. You should get most of the moisture out of your hair before using a brush. In fact, your roots should be dried first, then you should focus on your ends.
Bangs, Bangs, Bangs!
Bangs are their own beast. If you want a side swept, blow dry your bangs to the opposite direction. It helps to move them back and forth a lot to build curve and volume.
For shorter bangs, blow dry straight up, them down right away. Keep on repeating this and you will have soft volume in your short bangs. Make them look jagged and piecey for a modern look!
How Much Does Hair Color Cost?
Professional Hair Color is Expensive. If you want something really cheap, just remember it will look cheap.
If you are concerned about the cost of an extra color, or a few more foils, ask!
