I think everyone has a season of suck. Every once in a while there’s just this prolonged period of total suck where nothing goes according to plan in both big and little ways. The summer of 2017 was exactly that for me. My husband and I have been battling a series of disappointments and struggles. …
How to Make a DIY Dress Form for $25
I have recently started sewing and I am loving it. I’ve wanted to learn for the better part of 20 years and either never had the time or couldn’t muster up the patience to slog through the learning phase.

Downsizing…Tiny Living Means Tiny Collection
So I love makeup. And skincare. And haircare. I really enjoy the whole process of taking care of my bod. But I recently realized that the desire to try ALL OF THE THINGS and tiny home living do not mesh well. There’s a reason why all of the big beauty YouTubers (or gurus, but I …
Beauty & Books: Foot Fetish Storytime

Current Skincare Routine…Getting to 100% Cruelty Free
So, I’m going to talk more about this in an upcoming video but I’ve recently decided to buy only cruelty free products. There are a lot of different reasons that fed into this decision for me but I am actively working on switching stuff over as I run out/find a replacement I can afford. Let’s …
Whoa! Hello Blonde!
So I’m continuing my funky colored hair and taking it EVEN FURTHER. I’ve decided that rather than try to get the quasi-balayage touched up that I would just go all the way teal and wait for my natural color to grow in at the roots. I wasn’t a huge fan of how the teal faded …
Get Ready with Me: False Eyelash Fail!
Ooooooh man. You guys. This was SO much harder than I thought it would be. You know, you see videos of people putting them on and it’s so quick and easy- just plop, tuck, tuck, and done! I’ve put them on my twice sister when we were testing out her wedding makeup and when I …
