Pretty Little Lifters

Shoplifting is my day job

[withloveandlattes]

I didn't let Instagram control my life for a day...

     This week, trending on Youtube is bloggers, vloggers, and beauty gurus all letting their massive IG following control their lives for a day. The idea was cute and all, until I tried it. Out of my 2000 + followers, the most engagement I had on the polls was about 6 people. Yes, I was a little bitter that I couldn’t participate in this new trend that would surely increasing my following and I was also disappointed in how my day was starting. The first poll was weather to leave my hair natural and curly or strait for the day. While both are beautiful, I really wanted to straiten my hair and have it out of the way for a little while, however my followers didn’t see it that way. Curly won, and to my reluctance, I obliged. The next poll was weather to make my coffee or walk to the local Dunkin Donuts and buy some. Buying coffee won, and to my dismay, it was pouring outside. I was so disappointed, but in the wrong thing. I was thinking, “Why can’t my followers just read my mind and pick the things I want?” when I should have been thinking, “Why can’t I do what I want?”. My followers and their opinions are not the end all be all. I am my own person and I can do what I want, when I want, which Instagram has slowly taken away from my life. So many times I’ve made my amazing friends, who are very tolerant of my obsession, take me to insta-worthy spots and spend days looking for the perfect photo opportunity. 

     So, that day, I shut down the polls, because I just didn’t care anymore. I still take pride in my photos and find enjoyment in sharing fun moments with people, now with more awareness and insight into what it’s actually doing for me. I had a great Saturday, wearing what I wanted and going wherever I pleased, and it was so satisfying to take my life back. I completely understand that this trend is just a silly little game that’s for fun and influencers didn’t mean to portray this message of doing what your followers want you to, and I’ve learned such a great lesson from this. Instagram is fun and creative, if its used right. Lets stick to making our own content for the simple pleasure of doing so. Let’s take back our own lives.

Tips from lifting at Ulta/Sephora

-ulta is about 200% easier than Sephora -don’t be afraid!! -bring a reusable shopping bag or any bag that you feel will fit the amount of makeup you want -go around the time where everyone gets off of work (3:30-5:00) or go on Saturdays -be fake and nice to everyone -find blind spots -grab what you want and little by little fill up your bag. -Go to the sample stations where they have sample mascara wands and try a few items out -when taking palettes and perfumes be careful! There’s usually RFID stickers on the boxes. They usually don’t ring but just to be safe peel them off. -if an employee comes up to you ask for tony moly or fiberwiig. They don’t carry those brands so they’ll leave u alone if u tell them that’s what ur looking for. -DONT conceal/lift around customers! Some can be serious snitches smh -there’s usually a security guard by the sensors but he doesn’t walk around the store or anything so just make sure you detag everything you need to. -HAPPY LIFTING!! 💗💗💘💘 love u guys :)

Tips on hiding stuff from parents if you're a lifter

Now if you’re a minor like me you probably live with a parent or guardian who might find it a little sketchy you have so much new stuff , whether you have a job or not , it might come off weird and sus that you have so much new expensive shit , while doing laundry they’ll realize you have new stuff they never took you to get, and if you don’t have a lot of friends or your parent doesn’t let you hang with friends or take stuff from friends it’s a little harder to use the I got it from a friend excuse without getting in trouble .

1) DUMP EVIDENCE - Meaning when you get stuff from a store throw away tags and boxes of packaging before you go home , personally I like to keep tags on my clothes until I wear them but my dad doesn’t check my closet my mom would if I lived with her so rip those off and go to a different store with a trash can and throw them away . Also when I get makeup and stuff I take them out the package and throw them away at a different store so when you go home it looks like you’ve always had them .

2) DONT INFORM YOUR PARENTS OF HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE - I mean seriously don’t tell them how much money you have or have left after spending money on stuff , if they notice you have $200 worth of new shit you told them you have $50 or only $40 left from spending money on something else they’ll question you on where you got the money for all that shit , that’s when it can fuck up and if you don’t know how to lie or your parents are smart and add shit up you’ll probably admit you lifted all that shit and you’re fucked .

3) BUY GIFT CARDS- Now yes if you lift you don’t spend much on anything but if you wanna get stuff with money from boosting lifted shit and want online things without your parents knowing gift cards are your friend ! I bought my hook and magnet from aliexpress I put money I got from money my dad sent me and I had money left my mom didn’t know about I went to the drugstore bought a gift card and ordered it online and as long as they don’t deliver when your parents are home they’ll never know anything ! If you boost lifted stuff your parents might not know about your money you can put money on a gift card so you won’t have a shit load of cash hanging around ! You can use a fake name for the card holder it’s not really traceable the only down side if you have to pay a $5 activation fee for each card and it’s not reload able ( the reload able ones need ID).

4) PACK YOUR CLOTHES NEATLY- Make all your lifted stuff from hauls blend in your room easily . Don’t stash bags of new clothes somewhere in your room back them out detag price tags and make it seem like you had all that stuff ! They won’t question as much if you’re closet looks regular.

5) TRY AND DO HAULS NEAR A HOLIDAY BIRTHDAY OR SCHOOL BREAKS- Now if you have separated parents like me there’s a pro from that when I come home with all my lifted shit and my dad asked where I got all that makeup or whatever I say from mom from break its such a good excuse usually they won’t call to check so it’s easy for me , go lifting on birthdays cause you most likely got some birthday money it’s a good excuse if they ask you how you got the money for all your shit .

6) TRY NOT TO GET CAUGHT LIFTING TO MUCH- Honestly just try not to get caught at a store more than once they’ll catch on to shit and ask to much questions trust will be gone so be careful .
