HAUL: ULTA Black Friday

10:31 AM
In the excitement of having a bit of extra money, coupled with the overwhelming stress of moving two households, I ordered some goodies off of ULTA.com, during the Black Friday sales. I had little intentions of going overboard (I didn't), but I thought I'd share (so I can open the darn things!) of this quick haul: I admit I'm late in posting this...

Trash Talk: Summer Empties

Ok kiddos, it's trash time! I had a busy summer and just didn't get around to this portion of integral documentation within the #bblogging realm. My mind was elsewhere and still, I hoarded--an easy task--but other things always came up. Now that summer has definitely come to a close, here is my hefty collection of empties from June through August. This excludes sheet...

HAUL: K-beauty Finds at Local TJ Maxx

12:37 PM
While redecorating my space, I've done some shopping here and there. The other day, I was weak and went to my local TJ Maxx, all in hopes of finding a rug.

A Quick Thing....

12:16 AM
Hello all! I want to talk about something important: procrastination and perfection. I've had too many posts planned on here and I've overwhelmed myself to the point of not even writing because I wanted the post to be crafted with a certain creative direction. I wanted to go beyond my resources and create some cool things, photography-wise, and I just keep...missing the mark....
