Hello, my dear peaches! I've graduated from having a Sephora bag for my product empties under my makeup desk, to a bigger plastic container that sits in my bathroom. As always, once it's full, it's time to reflect and look at my trash~

Hello all! It's been a hot minute. As the title reads, work literally sucks the soul out of me so I am generally in a state of physical, mental and emotional depletion (including creative energy). Usually I'm just so...exhausted....and it takes a lot of willpower to stay alive.


While I'm employed and y'know, gettin' that coin, I know my value and the worth of my skill set--I've always been seeking other work outside of retail but nothing has ever eventuated. I want future employers to see this; I know the pool of applicants are just too vast, but something has to give! I know I should be making more per hour; I have bills and I want to do things in my life (that require money). This is what also wears me out, because I feel stuck, lost, and underappreciated.

I'm starting a new series to a) show you all the goodies I've bought and to b) document what I've bought so I can Stop myself...! #doingitfortheblog

Most items were purchased in mid to late December, and a little bit throughout January. I didn't really intend to buy anything in January, but some of it just seemed so enticing, in retrospect.  Similarly, work really bummed me out throughout the entire Holiday season too, and I was/am just So Exhausted--retail therapy is sometimes....nice....!
