-and the pretty things in-between-
I'm an everyday consumer, trying to navigate my way through a product rich landscape.
There are many times when I have a list of things that I need to do or want to do but I don’t feel like it. By that I mean, I don’t have the energy or the inclination to move towards accomplishing anything on my list. Sometimes I give into the pull of doing nothing because my energy is low but often times I fight against it.
Read MoreI never thought of myself has a passionate person, in fact I often felt that I lacked passion. I’ve come to realize though that I express my passion in different ways. I’m not consumed and obsessed with one subject or area of interest, instead I’m obsessed with many. I don’t multi-task though, I focus on one area of interest at a time, but I tell you I give a great deal of my attention to the subject of the moment.
Read MoreIf you enjoy the Fantasy/ Sci- Fi genre and haven’t read a Sherrilyn Kennyon book, then you’ve been missing out. I will say upfront that she takes her characters through the ringer. They tend to experience pain and heartache on a whole other level, sometimes I do find it a bit hard to read. This is the ninth/tenth? book in the Born of Series, I’ve read pretty much all of them, I think.
Read MoreIf I could wear perfume I think I would be one of those women who are constantly changing their scent and have 20 different fragrances to choose from. Scent plays a pivotal role in our life, it impacts our memories our moods and even our taste.
Read MoreIn 2016 my word for the year was Breakthrough. I truly feel that happened for me, I do still have to work on putting myself out there and leaving my room more but I think that I’ve gained insight, growth and a new depth of knowledge about myself and my believes.
Read MoreLife’s little pleasures, I think that even though they may seem small and insignificant by themselves, when combined as a whole they are far more impactful than you might think. Even little things when combined form something big. When I think of the things that bring me joy I find they are already deeply entrenched in my day to day life.
Read MoreThe start of a new year is usually when we all evaluate our finances and say that we’re going to do better, that we’re going to make some changes. Sometimes the things that make the most sense are the things we avoid doing.I’ve spoken to a few of my friends and colleagues and got their advice on how they improved their finances, so I’ve complied the tips they’ve given me. Some of these you may agree with some you may not, these are things that they tried and found worked great for them.
Read MoreThis was an interesting year in beauty for me. I worked on curating my purchases and focused a bit more on mid to high end products. Makeup wise I've really been into a softer almost minimal look, I have worn some bright and bold eye looks but I tended to gravitate to simple look, brows done, mascara on the tip of my lashes, conceal under my eyes and add a bit of blush and highlight. That was my standard go-to look for the most part.
Read MoreI’ve read quite a few books this year, which doesn’t come as a surprise to me, reading is one of my favourite things to do when I have free time. I can’t articulate just why I enjoy reading so much, maybe I’m just a nosy person. After all reading does take into you the lives of other people, it tells you their stories and adventures. Their successes and triumphs and also their failures. Even if it’s all just a tall tale.
Read MoreThis is the third part in my Notables of 2016 post series.
I find that as I get older I’m taking more time to simply enjoy Life. When I was younger the days just seemed to rush into one another and I didn’t try to experience things. Now that I’m a bit older I love to spend time with my family and treasure those moments, well until my introvert tendencies kick it and I head off to a corner by myself. The memories are there though.
Read MoreA look back at 2016 and my plans for 2017
When it comes to how well I did regarding the goals I set for 2016, a lot of them I didn’t meet. In fact some of them I just forgot about, yeah not good at all. I remembered that I had set goals, I just didn’t take the time to revisit what those goals were.
Read MoreWhen I first heard about this book, I was pretty excited. I’ve read the other eight books in the series and enjoyed them immensely, even though I initially thought I would hate them.
With this one I was certain what to expect, I just knew that I didn’t want anyone that I liked to die, and you can imagine that after eight books their are just a few characters that I like and would prefer stayed alive. It felt a little bit suspenseful to me because I kept expecting death. Not the best mindset to be in when reading but that was where I was at.
