The Confessional

Happy Tuesday this and thatters!!!

I hope you and yours are having a nice kick off to the week.  I hope you enjoy the confessional, as well!

xoxo


1.  I've been a bit behind on household chores...who isn't?!  This weekend we had zero plans and I was able to get caught up on soo much.  It made me feel so organized and so less anxious about starting the week.


2.  I'm anal and type A but I always wait until the absolute last minute to Christmas shop.  I really envy those people who are together enough to shop throughout the year.  Not this girl I don't start really shopping until after Thanksgiving...feel free to judge.


3.  Is it just me or are we all decorating for Christmas a lot earlier?!?  I feel like last year I saw everyone decorating before Thanksgiving.  I guess I can see that, it's a lot of work and you want to enjoy it for as long as possible.  I'm on the fence about early decorating but truth be told it makes me feel guilty as heck when I see everyone's house all decorated way before mine!


4.  The hubs and I are revamping our budget and I'm glad about it.  I know that sounds shocking but I really like being organized in all aspects of my life.  The hubs is amazing about figuring out what I can spend each month and never questioning it as long as I stay in budget.  That's why I consign clothes :)  because that's all my $$$ free and clear.


5.  I've really been working on staying in my lane and running my race lately.  I think we are all guilty of looking at other people and comparing our lives.  I love the quote "comparison is the thief of joy" because it truly is.  So I've been working on me and being the happiest and best I can be.  


6.  I saw this quote and absolutely loved it!  Plus one of my fav people Lilly P said it :)

"Secret?   There's no secret....just have fun.  Don't worry about every last little thing.  Somehow it always works out."

Preach Lilly!!

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth

I don't really want to write this post.  I want to crawl in my bed, with the covers over my head and watch the real housewives of nyc seasons 1 and 2 (before Jill and Bethenny hate each other).  I don't want to talk to anyone, see anyone or answer my phone.  In fact it's been on silent for the past three days.   I am writing this post because I started this blog as a living, breathing diary.  It is a fluid documentation of my life and what is going on right now.  Unfortunately what is going on right now isn't a fun trip, a great product recommendation or a great style entry... it is real life.   This week something sad happened to me and the hubs, we had a miscarriage.  I will tell you that I hate the word miscarriage it seems clinical to me.  What I have said is we lost the baby because that is how it feels to me.   Without boring you or scaring you with too many details I knew something wasn't exactly right.  I started bleeding and was away from home and my

At Home Facial Favs

Image
Happy Monday!  I hope you and yours had a great weekend.   On Sunday I gave myself an at home facial and documented some of it on my instastories and got 100 questions, ha!  So I figured I would share what I used here.   The first question I got was the frequency in which I do at home facials and I don't do them as much as I want to or probably should.  I aim for once a week but it's probably every other week.  I love going to a spa and getting a kick ass facial but there isn't always time and sometimes they can be pricey so I've developed an at home routine for myself. I will say as I get older my skin is changing so I'm having to investigate new and different products.  My skin is sensitive, prone to breakouts and can be super dry and super oily so it's a constant juggle for me to find products that actually work for me.  Recently I've been using a ton of philosophy products and I have loved every, single one of them so far!  I also love that you get

The Power of Positive Thinking

Happy Hump Day readers!!  I hope you're having a great week.  From time to time I get emails or requests for certain topics and honestly I've gotten this request in some form or fashion a few times lately.   People have emailed or Facebook messaged me about positivity or how to stay happy during hard times etc.  To be honest I was a bit surprised that these asks kept coming.  I decided it was a sign that I actually needed to blog about it.   I think we've all heard the typical attitude is everything comments and most of the time they are in one ear and out the other.  Or we don't think they apply to us just everyone else.  However, I don't believe that.  I truly believe our attitude and thoughts shape our hours, days, years and ultimately our life experience.   I think this is a huge shift for most of us.  To take our thoughts from the place they have always been is super difficult.  When I got honest with myself I realized that a lot of times what I was think
