Hello Dahhhlings! So, I finally decided to start writing again. I actually tried applying for some writing gigs, but never heard back. Sad face, but ah well. Where have I been? Did you noticed I was gone?? No? Okay… I like to inflate my self-importance ;D NBD, but I planned my wedding from out of state, drove halfway across the… Read more →
The big thing about me doing this post (and not Onderria) is that I don’t see the tallied up truth of my spending 😉 My December credit card statement will be quivering. Well surprise for me that this year my money did not goto PopSugar. But I still have PopSugar monthly withdrawals. It went to Birchbox. Guess who is an… Read more →
You know what’s coming up? Halloween 😉 Someone has to take one for the team and eat her Squeakers’ Swedish Fish. Mmmm… Red Dye 40. I digress, it’s Black Friday!!! Or November 1st. What are you hoping for? Do you think the best deals will start on November 1st? Black Friday? Or Cyber Monday? Or all of the… Read more →
Are you a college student? a student? a school employee? a parent with tiny human students? or just someone with fond memories?? I hope you had a relaxing Spring Break! This past March through April, schools all over celebrated Spring Break. I totally wrote this a month ago, forgot to add pictures, then forgot to hit Publish… #relevant! Did you do… Read more →
Happy almost Spring! I was changing out the balsam pine Febreze in the bathroom for some lavender scented spray, and it got me wondering: when do you change your scents? Do you change them depending on your mood? When it’s cold out, and the days get shorter and darker, I love deep brooding scents such as balsam, mahogany teakwood, or cedar.… Read more →
Over the past ten years, when I would ride in my brother’s and sister’s cars, they pretty much always listened to NPR or podcasts. I did not like the talking at all; it took a while to get used to and I would often ask them to change the channel. Then, around six years ago, during a half-cross-country roadtrip my sister… Read more →

First off, I want to direct you to last week’s full-size purchase TBIT post because Pnut had all of her pictures and comments ready and waiting for me, but I didn’t see them! When you come back we’ll discuss life further. … Happy Tuesday! How is life going for you as we count down the last few weeks of 2018… Read more →
Samples tend to populate subscription boxes, so it’s always nice getting a full size product. Especially if it’s something you end up liking. These are a few of my favorites that I’ve gone out and purchased, primarily this past year. Skincare Simple Micellar Cleansing Water: You know Pnut and I love mice water, and Simple is a brand that I’ve gotten in several… Read more →
How was your weekend? I work in education, so I had from Wednesday to Sunday off. It was amaaaazing! We went to social events every single night starting Tuesday, so that was exhausting. But, it was all fun and I ate just a good amount, but still a lot. I also finished Riverdale and Stranger Things on Netflix. Perhaps we’ll… Read more →
My sister and our significant others recently flew home to South Dakota. Not for the 100° weather, but for an outdoor wedding that happened to take place in the afternoon of one of those sweltering days. While watching my sister unpack her items, and looking at my own luggage, I realized that we have a lot of bags from subscription boxes! I… Read more →
Furry throws. Turkish Peshtemal towels. Velvety candles. Wonder eye cremes. What’s your fancy weakness? Magic clocks that aren’t still on Standard Time when you wake up in a frenzy on Monday morning. From time to time we give in. That temptation of what may be in a $100, $200, $500?? box just pushes us over the edge and we throw… Read more →

My boyfriend and I watch A LOT of HGTV. Do you? Here’s a list [in order] of the shows I enjoy: Fixer… Read more →
Today is Valentine’s Day / Singles Awareness Day, and yesterday was Galentine’s Day [according to Parks and Rec character Leslie Knope]. I just started bingewatching this last month, and I’m on season 6. I LOVE Ron Swanson. He’s so ridiculous. What did you do to celebrate this week? I don’t really have any friends in WA anymore [they all keep… Read more →
It hardly ever snows in the Puget Sound area. Well, perhaps like once every few years and it’s a little dusting. However, I think this week makes the third or forth time it’s snowed this winter! This is also the third snow day my school has gotten! Note that it takes very little snow to shut down this area. My… Read more →
