This month, I decided to try the Foodie Pen Pal program by The Lean Green Bean. Basically, you sign up, and you receive the info to a pen pal. You put together a foodie box for them worth ~$15, and you send it their way by mid month. Meanwhile, someone else is doing the sameRead more
This one’s a twofer. Yup- I got behind so now I’m catching up! MY feet. Lets see, right now, I’m in my office. At my place of work. All gussied up into “business” attire. And I’m barefoot. I have a french self-done manicure and my nails could use a little trim. I take my shoesRead more
Painting my fingernails is one of my guilty pleasures. My husband thinks its a waste of time but I feel so much more “put together” when my nails are well manicured and glossy. When I’m feeling *really* into the spa moment, I do my toes too. =D I can’t, however, afford to get them done.Read more
You know, I started writing this whole rant about all of the the things that annoy me on FB, but then I realized they were all based around one thing. Passive Caring. All of the politics spouting, the starving infant photos, the “like if you are against animal abuse!” images, the “post this to yourRead more
Today I stumbled on this AMAZING challenge set forth by Iuliana at Hip2Thrift. I’ve decided to participate, so enjoy learning about me as we go along! We moved around a fair bit while I was a child. I didn’t have any siblings until I was 10, so I always had a room to myself. Also,Read more
Well hello there! I know what you’re thinking. I’m late. Sigh, its true. I just couldn’t bring my butt to write this post yesterday (you know, Tuesday? As in 2 Pick Tuesday?) but I swear I’ll try and do better. Can you believe now its already Wednesday? I don’t know about you all but myRead more
Hey everyone, its Wednesday again. The day I reflect on my journey towards Who I Want to Be. This week I have the distinct pleasure of introducing Bethany from Sprinkles and Allergies to you all. Bethany and I went to High School together. To be honest, we were each different people back then and we weren’tRead more
Well, this is embarrassing. I wish I could tell you that I staged this picture to make a dramatic after effect for this post. I did not. You see, I have this adorable necklace holder, but all of my necklaces are too long! So I end up just dropping everything on my vanity. One thingRead more
Things get hectic. Yup- that happens. People start to get pushy, and you start to feel overwhelmed. That’s when I’m at my worst. I internalize a lot of “what ifs” and “how comes”, which leads me to be constantly anxious about what I’m going to do next. In the beginning of the Who I Want to BeRead more
Happy Tuesday everyone! I’ve been home sick today, so that means a lot of internet cruising. I’ve been all over the net and back again trying to ease my boredom whilst I allow my body to rest. Something about being cold and wet for 3 days while on vacation must have weakened my immune system.Read more
Off and on I’ve lightly discussed my over-grooming tendencies. Essentially, I have a compulsion when dealing with stress where I over critique and “groom” my skin. Usually by way of scratching/picking pimples and blackheads on my face. The official name is dermatillomania. Sometimes until it hurts. Its shameful, and I’m reminded of my own badRead more
What day is it? Its TUESDAY! That means tomorrow is WEDNESDAY! And THAT means I am outta here! I cannot wait to pack up and go out into the wilderness. It might rain, it might be chilly, I might get eaten alive by bugs but IT WILL BE FUN! I think I just need aRead more
