Wednesday Wisdom – Rushing Time

September 12, 2018 / 9 Comments

Do you know what peeves me off? Time, just in general, I find it very irritating. Time doesn’t actually exist, it’s only 6:30 pm in Minnesota because we all have this understanding and choose to participate in this human contrived notion of time. And then on top of all of this time shit, we have all of these deadlines which is like time within time – time squared. We manage our time to the point that we don’t have any. It’s nuts, it drives me crazy, I’d like to get off the ride now. I just want to get up when the sun comes up, go to work, get as…

Top Ten Tuesday – Reasons to Love America

September 11, 2018 /

I tend to feel more patriotic on the anniversary of 9/11 than I do on the Fourth of July. I think it’s because while I know that the American Revolution occurred it doesn’t feel as tangible to me as the 9/11 attacks. I think it’s a fatal flaw of the shortsightedness of human beings, we can be very knowledgeable of what happened 50, 100, 150 years ago but the impact of these events seemingly fade with time. The events that are happening now are a very real example of its citizens either forgetting the mistakes of the past or choosing to ignore them. That aside, it’s still a pretty great…

Beauty Insider Appreciation Event – What Did I End up With?

September 6, 2018 /

I know that not everyone finds haul posts very interesting, I have tried everything at least once so I will give a mini review as well but will definitely revisit these products at a later date with more info. Did I stick to my list? Yes and no, I did skip on some things and chose a few based on guru recommendations, here’s what I came home with! Most of my purchases were skincare, these kinds of sales are a great opportunity to snag some products that never go on sale. I chose two products from belif because I hadn’t tried the brand before and their products are rumored to…

Top Ten Tuesday – Falling for Fall

August 14, 2018 /

I tried, I honestly tried to embrace summer this year and not spend every hot, humid, miserable waking hour complaining about how much I hate summer and Minnesota and WASPS in over-sized SUV’s but I couldn’t it. I couldn’t do it because I hate summer, the hatred runs deep – the frizzy hair, the boob sweat, the electric bill that’s become as much as a car payment because of the glorious forced air. I can’t do it anymore, I am counting the days until fall and daydreaming of my favorite fall’ish things. No lie, I stocked up on candles weeks ago and haven’t been able to light a single one…

Top Ten Tuesday – 2018 Beauty Trends

July 31, 2018 /

Often times while perusing online magazines, I am shocked at how un-trendy I am (not really that shocked) for not jumping on any of these amazing trends but also relieved that I didn’t even know that they existed 😀 Still, now that I know of their existence, I am compelled to share my thoughts on some of the most questionable. Was this really a thing? In theory, it probably could look very beautiful but on my skintone it would just make me look sick. Also though, think of all of the yellow eye-shadows that I have and don’t use that I could use up. I did know that this was…

Let me build this bed frame real quick, she said. It won’t take that long, she naively assumed. Two and a half hours later and I am actually feeling pretty good about it but it took for-ever. Anyway, I know that it won’t be Wednesday for much longer but I recently picked up The Beautiful Truth by Mark Anthony (not Marc Anthony) after seeing various quotes all over social media. It’s a lovely piece of literature <3 If you don’t know Mark Anthony, enjoy:

Decor Inspo – Bohemian Bedroom

July 11, 2018 /

Ladies and gentlemen, if I can recommend one thing that one should absolutely not do after a broken relationship, it is revisit your wedding board on Pinterest. I don’t know what in the name of Samhain possessed me but there I was, bawling like a baby over my imaginary, beautiful wedding (really, it was going to be stunning). Honestly. The reason that I was on Pinterest is because I thought I was going to give my room a Bohemian, minimalist makeover with lots of pillows, low-profile bed, plush blankets, lots of beige – something got lost in translation. I don’t know if I just don’t like how low the bed…

Top Ten Tuesday – Reasons to be Happy

July 10, 2018 /

Ah yes, it is one of those posts because I am having a hard time finding reasons to be happy at the moment. I actually saw something on Instagram about destination fixation; thinking that our lives would be so much better somewhere else, with someone someone else, doing something else. A person can dream all they want, there isn’t anything wrong with wanting a better life but I think that humans can lose sight of what we have in our life right now that makes it wonderful. These are of course relative to my perception and what makes me happy but here’s hoping that you find your own happiness too…

Happy 4th of July if you are in the states, sadly, the fireworks have been cancelled in my city as we are in a severe thunderstorm warning. I cannot recall the last time that it rained on the 4th but it’s bound to happen some years. Here are a collection of quotes on freedom to celebrate: Enjoy the rest of your week – thanks for stopping by <3
