Hello again,
It's been a very long since I posted anything on here (please ignore my awful older posts) as I'd said on my heading I'd mostly moved to posting on Facebook as I felt I wasn't very good at posting frequently and writing itself isn't my best talent.
I've started a Youtube channel last year posting mostly about Taobao Lolita and wanted to make a resource post, I know there's a few but wanted to my own as well to link from my Youtube rather than adding 10+ links to end of each video.
There is Part 2 post which will include more community type content like interviews.
Part 3 is all about tutorials for make or makeup and crafting.
This post will be focused on newbies and shopping.
