WELCOME

This blog has been around in one form or another since 2010. It’s an amalgamation of who I was, who I am, and who I’m hoping to be. Sometimes it’s about beauty products. Other times (most of the time) it’s about planning. Occasionally there’s business stuff and even rarer board game content.

So thanks for stopping by, reading somthing long-form in a world of fast information, and hanging out with me on my slice of the internet.

Sincerely,

Kayla

 

it's me

Don't wait for a mess. Declutter constantly.  It's really just that simple. If I see a drawer or closet start to get out of hand, I don't wait for "spring cleaning" or a day where I suddenly feel inspired to clean my entire house of its junk. I just do it. I'm...
