Ladies and gentlemen, I’m off to my church’s summer launch camp as a counselor and must close up shop next week! I will miss you all dearly, but will be back on Thursday. Here’s a quick little video of my goodbyes: PS – I’m wearing my Tarte lip stain just to give you another look at the [...]

For the past year or two I’ve switched from using lip glosses to lipsticks. I’m not a fan of the way lip gloss feels (I hate stickiness!), the unpelasant way my hair lodges itself to my mouth, dragging strips of gloss across my cheeks, and the fact that I have to reapply every 10 minutes [...]

No, I’m not talking about the World Cup (although it appears everyone on Facebook and Twitter are). I’m talking about my thrift store scores from a few days ago! While it certainly has been interesting experiencing the soccer (excuse me, futbol) craze, learning about countries I have never heard of before, and rooting on the [...]

A month or so ago I made this post on how to create side cut-outs for your dresses. Lately, another trend I’ve been seeing are tops and frocks that have heart cut-outs in the back. Of course that led to me thinking, “I can do this”! So fellow diy-ers, here’s a quick tutorial on how [...]

Yesterday marked the first day of summer and I’m SO ready for it! Unfortunately summer no longer marks lazy days and no responsibilities, but I can’t help but feel a little lighter, a little more relaxed. My outfit today reflects the ease of a warm, sunny afternoon – I plan on “romping” around a lot [...]

What I love about Tweet is Clare’s highlights of designers and artists that I otherwise may never have heard of. Her taste is impeccable, and I have yet to be disappointed by her choices. Yet another blogger from the other side of the world (love making these connections, I need to start travelling more soon!), [...]

I’ve been feeling pretty frustrated with how well I treat my body. Every since I got married, my diet hasn’t been the best (we eat out for lunch almost every day for example) and I have done little to no exercise. Lately, I’ve started to feel the effects – muscles getting pulled way too easily, [...]

Yesterday Jaime tagged me to share the contents in my purse. The first reaction I had was horror. You see, my purse is one of the most disorganized, messy, overflowing with things-that-should-be-tossed bags you’ll meet. Part of the problem is that it is so ridiculously huge that I can literally fit my life into it [...]

Ahh, sunshine, how I love thee. Today was such a comfortably warm day that I would actually resort to using the word delicious to describe it. I pulled on my thrifted striped blouse and pleated shorts and felt wonderful – you know, that feeling when your clothes just feel like a second skin, airy and [...]

Yesterday I made a huge announcement: No, I’m not pregnant, but I finally opened my Etsy shop! In case you didn’t get a chance to stop by yet, Etsy has a “Mini Etsy” that I’ll be posting from time to time whenever I have new products. So, to get you all familiar with it, here’s [...]

Hey everyone! Lately I’ve been busily working away, putting together some of my favorite DIY projects to finally sell online at Etsy. I apologize for not being as attentive as usually to all of you and your lovely blogs, but now with the grand opening of my store, I can breathe easier! I’m so excited [...]

With the school year ending and several of my friends entering into a new season, I wanted to talk a little bit about figuring out what you want to do in life, career wise. It really is a personal journey (emphasis on journey) to discovering that age old question, but I do want to stake [...]
