My Hautelook Experience!

I have heard people talk about Hautelook for years now, and I have just never gotten around to ordering anything. I've had the app a few times and just end up deleting it, it was kin of forgotten among everything else in my phone.

Finally, I started paying attention to upcoming events. Beauty events in particular, of course. On August 1st, the Balm was one of the events for the day. I got excited because I love this brand, but it isn't readily available where I live, unless you order online. I decided if I'm going to order online, I might as well use the Hautelook discount!

I ordered two items and paid immediately. I believe shipping was about $6, which is pretty much the same on any website unless they offer free shipping.

Ok, so now to the part that bothers me, as of August 1st, I spend $45 for my products. Immediately, I was given an estimated delivery of August 19-23, I thought that was kind of outrageous, but who am I to complain? I put the facts out of mind and went on about my life. So that brings us to today...

Today is August 22nd, and guess what? No package! On Monday, the 19th, I received a shipping confirmation email that my products were now on their way. What was going on for 19 days? I paid for shipping, and it took you 19 days to get around to it? This just seems outrageous to me. I get it, you're busy, but isn't that what businesses are supposed to be?

I understand this is quite a rant, but it just really gets under my skin. For a website that is trying to become popular they really didnt even try to satisfy the customer, in my opinion of course.

Will I reorder? I really doubt it. If I can pay a little more, but receive great customer service I would much rather do that.

Thank you guys!

Blogtober Day 24! DIY Remove Black Stains from Hardwood Floors

This blog is coming to you by accident, of course. I don't know if I've mentioned it much on this blog, but I have two pitbulls. I know, a lot to handle, and one of them is a puppy. She is horrible sometimes, but I can't help but love her. Our whole house is hardwood floors, which I love! With my two dogs, if the happen to have an accident it's really easy to clean up...or so I thought. We have had a large living room rug down for about 6 months now. Over the weekend we decided to take it outside and air it out and do a little "Fall Cleaning". Low and behold underneath the rug were huge dark black spots on the hardwood. I immediately jumped on Pinterest to see what to do. It turns out dogs urine causes the wood to turn black (who knew?). So I found a solution that I'm really excited to share with you. Peroxide! Awesome, I had plenty on hand and immediately started to try it out. At first I used a paint brush to apply it to the specific areas. Almo...

Personal Planner Setup

I have been using a planner for as long as I can remember. My little OCD self needs something to keep me grounded and on track. About 3 years ago I discovered Erin Condren as well as the planner community on social media (if you are a planner person check them out, it is such a positive and supportive group of people). If you're not familiar, the Erin Condren Life Planner is an A5 size planner (7" by 9") and is a thick planner. For me, this type of planner is not convenient for every day use so this planner stays at home on my desk and is used mostly for my creative side, not functionality. This brings me to my personal size planner, I use a Kate Spade Wellesley planner which can be bought at the Kate Spade Outlet stores (these outlets will ship to you so call around if you don't live close to one and are interested). Currently as pictured above I am using the red version which was re-released this Summer, and I also have a black version which is always in stock....

Why I'm No Longer Purchasing from Erin Condren

I'm fully aware that some people might not agree with me on this topic, but I really need to share my experiences with Erin Condren as well as my opinions on why I do not plan on purchasing from this brand any longer. Customer Service Good customer service is what makes a company, and unfortunately that is NOT Erin Condren's top priority. My personal experience with the customer service has been half and half. The policies and responses to customers is never consistent which makes me believe they make do not have any rules and guidelines for dealing with customer issues. In my opinion a company should have guidelines for handling issues and complaints. Quality Control I have placed a total of 25 orders with Erin Condren over the past 5 years. Within the last 2 years 4 out of 5 orders have arrived either incorrect, flawed, or completely wrong. Again, only in my opinion, the way that this company lets orders leave there facility tells me that they don't...
