On last week's episode guys, I told you to send in some questions, any question you
spk_0
had about shopping and I would answer them.
spk_0
And if I'm honest, I'm really excited to do that so let's get going.
spk_0
You sent a ton of questions guys, oh my god.
spk_0
But sadly I cannot answer them all right now but I promise that I will answer the rest
spk_0
on another episode.
spk_0
Our first question is from Alay 98 and she asks, how can I trust online shopping?
spk_0
Well Alay, the truth is you cannot trust online shopping at all.
spk_0
Sometimes you order things and they are not what you expected.
spk_0
But a solution I have for you is to do a lot of research not only on the store you're
spk_0
gonna buy, if not all the product you're gonna get.
spk_0
Because sometimes you buy things and they're not what you expected.
spk_0
So what I do is when I shop online I first of all research where I'm gonna shop.
spk_0
I sometimes look for videos or blogs or podcasts like this one to know a little bit more
spk_0
about the store I'm gonna buy from.
spk_0
And about the products I read a ton of opinions and comments and try to find pictures of
spk_0
the product I'm gonna get.
spk_0
So I can have in mind what is gonna be when I get it.
spk_0
Our next question is from Tammy 71 and she wants to know how can she buy jeans without
spk_0
having to try them on because she hates having to try several sizes till she gets the
spk_0
one.
spk_0
Well Tammy I have a good solution for you I think.
spk_0
What I do because I also hate having to try on jeans is from the ones I already have I
spk_0
see which one is the one that fits me the best which one I really like.
spk_0
I think it's comfortable.
spk_0
See what brand is it from and I stopped trying from other stores and only buy them.
spk_0
I buy my jeans from that one brand because that way it's easier you can pick the size
spk_0
you want the cut you want and it's always gonna fit.
spk_0
Another solution I have for you Tammy is a little trick I use sometimes when I'm not sure
spk_0
at all if it's really gonna fit and it's putting your face to your elbow inside the jeans.
spk_0
I know it sounds crazy but transmitting it works.
spk_0
You put inside of the jeans your face to your elbow if it's too tight you won't be able
spk_0
to fit it if it's too loose it will fail but when it's the one you will feel that it's
spk_0
comfortable for your face to elbow to be inside the jeans.
spk_0
I know it sounds crazy but it would help you a lot.

Our last question of the day guys is from Sarah 27 and she's asking for our help because
spk_0
she says she doesn't have all day to go to the mall and check out all the stores and
spk_0
she also doesn't trust shopping online so she needs our help guys she wants to know
spk_0
what can she do.
spk_0
And Sarah I might have two solutions for you.
spk_0
The first solution I have for you Sarah is to go online check the store you want and
spk_0
see the items they have then you can add them to your favorite item list and then you
spk_0
can go to the physical store and ask an employee to help you find the things you have on
spk_0
your list that way you will know right away what you want you can try it on if you want
spk_0
or if you already know what size you are you just pick it up and pay for it.
spk_0
The second solution I have for you Sarah is there is this new method a lot of stores
spk_0
like Northstrom and H&M are using is you pick the items online you put it in your
spk_0
car and you press a little button that says pick it up at store that way you will pick
spk_0
your items at store and you can pay there that way you won't have to look for it in the
spk_0
store.
spk_0
Well I hope I was able to help you this is it for today's episode I am Medica Regena
