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

How I Stay on Top of Everything for My Small Business

Owning a small business has taught me a lot of things, but above all it's taught me that organization is key. Good thing I'm obsessed with planners right? I've tried a lot of different methods over the past three years to keep up with everything I need to do for my...
