Amazing Goodwill Guest Blogs

Spread Love This February

Hello, I'm Riva Treasure, a Milwaukee-based fashion and lifestyle blogger who likes to share my unique style and lifestyle with my What Riva Wore followers.

When I'm not designing and implementing strategic marketing plans for my clients at my day job or inspiring my blog followers to go ahead and pair a $20 blouse with an '80’s inspired neon puffer jacket, you can find me teaching Irish dance or helping my husband renovate our 1911 farmhouse.

I also like to frequent Goodwill stores at least once a week, so if you haven't seen me, you'll probably bump into me one of these days! And I'm very excited to be featured as a Goodwill guest blogger.

Q & A with Crystal L. - Goodwill's 2018 Ultimate Upcycling Contest Winner

1. What was behind your inspiration for the portable make-up vanity?

I've always wanted one. Since I was a little girl. I've become more and more interested in makeup, and applying it, to the point that I've joined groups on Facebook and watch tutorials. These women, all of them have one, and they're gorgeous, but my room just doesn't have the space. Plus they're expensive. So when I saw the chest, it was like bingo, here's my vanity!
