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

Gratitude Journals and Why It’s Taken Me So Long to Have One

The Prynt Pocket vs. Polaroid Zip | The Best Portable Photo Printer
One of the best ways to snazz up a planner layout, journal, or letter is with photos. I'm the pits when it comes to scrapbooking, but adding a few photos into a layout is pretty foolproof and adds a scrapbook element that's oh so good. There are quite a few portable...
The Only 5 Blushes You Need
I've had a love affair with blush since I was a little girl. Clown cheeks were my specialty during dress up time and I rocked the brightest pink shades. Fortunately for everyone around me, I've toned things back a lot since then and have a much lighter hand. Blush...
