Makeup: making up excuses and making up my own path
I am unequivocally an adult woman. And yet I never really gotten into makeup. This is not for some kind of philosophy against it. It is moreso that I just never tried it. And now, it seems scary, because it is one thing to make a mistake as a teenager. It is a whole different…

The clutter I hold on to
My anxiety increases each time I see the clutter. I know that I need to do a deep clean, but I keep putting it off. I pushed back doing a closet cleanout until I completed a fitness challenge. Then, I never completed it. I put off getting rid of the old school work because I…

Musings on croissants, Paris, and Louis Vuitton
Croissants are a treat I love making. Maybe it’s the desire to be a real baker, one who uses just her hands and muscle to knead the dough without equipment. Maybe it is just because there is no substitute for the buttery flakiness when they’re fresh out of the oven. As much as I enjoy…

Adidas loses their trademark case, and now I am reflecting on what I lose focusing on others
A little while back, I wrote about Adidas Groups suit of Thom Browne, on the grounds that the luxury brand was infringing on their Signature Three Stripes. In that post, my thoughts were that it didn’t seem reasonable that consumers would be confused. With Adidas diehards looking specifically for the correct number of stripes and…

Even with a billion dollars
Today’s bloganuary prompt: If you had a billion US dollars, how would you spend it? To be honest, when I first read that, I immediately thought, “If I were given a billion dollars, I would probably waste it.” I don’t mean that I would go on a crazy spending spree and end up bankrupt somehow.…

I have typically been very delicate with how I apply my fragrances. A tiny spritz on the wrist there and there. This is partially because I want to save the best smelling scents for some time to come in the future and partially because I don’t want to be offensive. I am going to stop…

To spend time like money
I had been thinking a good goal for me this year was to be more productive. But that is vague and not really the problem. My real issue is in how I choose to spend my time. You see, I donate a lot of my time to YouTube. I am responsible for so much watch…

Rethinking house clothes
A festival was happening outside. I could hear the music. Everyone’s joy was even louder. I’d considered joining them. I even got dressed to go. I put on a dress I’d been eager to wear. I did my hair. I was ready to go. And then I just sat on my bed with my laptop…

Increasing income is not the same as increasing wealth
Boy, am I tired. It has been a while since I have had day off. Even during the holiday period, I picked up a part-time job. I constantly picked up shifts, because as everyone knows more work equals more pay. I was doing whatever I could to increase my income. My thought was, I would…

Learning from my fashion mistakes
I remember it well. I had a great outfit planned out. My top was light blue. It was a color that I pulled from the floral maxi I was going to wear with it. Pastel + flower= springtime. I was set, except I looked a mess. When it was time to leave the house, I…
