Long Weekend in PA – Outfits

We went to Pennsylvania for a long weekend for my husband’s birthday & spent time with his youngest. It was a really nice weekend: we did some thrifting, hung out with husband’s high school friends and his dad & step-mom, had numerous delicious dinners and even got to see a Phillies game! For my first

Review: DIY henna eyebrow tint

I ordered this DIY henna eyebrow tint back in January since my eyebrows are basically clear. It’s my last ditch effort before I save up money for micro-blading. (I hesitate to spend so much & am worried about getting a bad job on MY FACE lol. But I have seen SO many good ones!) I

Affordable Fashion OOTD: Wrap-Tastic

This affordable fashion outfit was inspired by wanting to wear my faux leather leggings (also worn here) to work again. I grabbed this popover top because it is long enough to cover my bum haha. Necessary for work IMO. Seeing people where leggings as pants in the work place makes me shiver. Then I layered

Review: Amazon Kindle

I love my Amazon Kindle & quite honestly, it wasn’t instant. I’m a cautious tech lover. I am not an early adopter. And as a frugal person, I try to purchase devices that do multiple things that I want. So, I started off my digital book journey on my ipad since I wanted to surf

OOTD – Poet Shirt or Peasant Top?

Back in the 90’s I think we called any big, blousy top a poet shirt. Especially if it had ruffles at the neck or wrists. Anyone remember? Today, I guess they would be considered a peasant top. Although a true peasant top is usually a popover style in floral & very cottage-core. Anyway, this could

Packing For a Week Trip in a Carry-on (And a Tote)

Packing for a week trip to Tennessee: We took a vacation recently! We don’t do that a lot so it’s kind of a big deal for me! We went to Nashville for a weekend hockey tournament for my step kiddo & after that we visited friends in Chattanooga. There wasn’t much to my packing strategy
