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

10 Ways to Use That Empty Notebook

We all do it. Horde those gorgeous notebooks with grand plans of what we'll one day use them for. But of course we never do. I think it's safe to say I have a good dozen or so of these empty notebooks I'm saving for a rainy day. I'm saying enough is enough and finally...

Why You Should Check Out Your Local Library

Poor libraries. I feel like they're being forgotten these days when they're really one of the greatest assets we still have access to. So an ode to the public library was in order. Since we've moved to our new home I've fully realized just how awesome libraries are....

I'm a creature of habit without a doubt. At restaurants once I find a meal I like, I'll order that religiously until they take it off the menu. The same has definitely become true with makeup these days as I streamline my collection and focus on quality over quantity....
