what i wore // leggings & tights

November 7, 2012

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of No nonsense. All opinions are 100% mine. No nonsense tights and leggings can be found at food and drug stores as well as mass retail stores. *** Even though I live in southeast Texas, for some strange reason I have more sweaters in my closet than anything else. I get way more excited about fall fashion than any other season, so I didn’t hesitate to sign up for this opportunity to try out a pair of No nonsense leggings and tights. I may have sweaters in abundance, but I don’t have much in the way of dresses, skirts, or pants (other than jeans) that are cool-weather appropriate, and leggings…

what i wore this weekend

September 11, 2012

I’m not a trendy person and I’m on a severe budget when it comes to many things, including clothes. I wear scrubs all week long so it’s hard for me to spend money on them. BUT because of that, I do like to (try to) put a little more effort into my appearance on the weekend. I’m 30 years old now; it’s time for me to develop some sort of personal style. I’m hoping by photographing my outfits I’ll be able to refine it. Saturdays I usually do chores around the house and then go on some form of excursion whether it’s boring errands, shopping for fun or just to get out of the house, brunch with a friend, or…

Some Goals, Sort Of

March 22, 2012

Recently, in my coffee-less state (this is important because everything seems worse without coffee), I have started to feel a growing discontent with some areas of my life. Not major things, but little things. I’ve kind of hit a plateau in a lot of areas and it’s bringing me down. I don’t have a lot of extra time or money, and I’m really good about cutting myself some slack because of it, but I’m at the point where I think some productivity and changes could really benefit me mentally. Here’s what I’m thinking about: Home Here is our home. We’ve lived here about three years, and I love it. But we never finished furnishing it, and there are a couple…

my first chemical peel & microdermabrasion

August 12, 2010

During my two weeks off I got pretty used to not wearing makeup. When you’re in the hospital for three days and then don’t leave the house for the next week there’s really no need for it. Through this I discovered something very important about myself: I hate putting on makeup. For that matter, I hate blow-drying my hair and styling it too, but that’s a topic for a different day. I’m at the point in my life where I want to minimize things that don’t make me happy, and I’m making a big push for a simpler lifestyle. Now, I’m not willing to go completely bare-faced in public, but I decided to take steps that might allow me to…
