Currently Searching For...

With warmer temps on the horizon I have been searching for new pieces of clothing to add to my wardrobe. I want to change the way I dress all together. Try something bright and colorful. I feel the best when I am wearing black, gray and white pieces but let's face it in the spring and summer time that doesn't look so appealing.

I have been scoping out Pinterest lately for ideas and I stumbled across my new found love for Dottie Couture. Other than that, the pieces are from all over the place.
Here's what I'm going for....

All items can be found here.
If you own a shop, boutique or store that sells similar items such as these please let me know! If you know where I can purchase items like these I would love to hear your suggestions!

Are you going after a new look?

Oh Me, Oh My What Did I Buy?!?!

I have a little bit of a problem.

When I am feeling down, I shop. Retail therapy, I'm all about it! 

I don't mean spend a few dollars here or there, I spend money at all of my favorite places.

Here recently, this has been occurring more and more.

This week for example:

1. Starbucks-I couldn't even tell you how many visits has occurred this week. Grande White Mocha you are my bff.
2. The Room Place-a new dining room table minus the dining room (I have an eat in kitchen). I am dreaming of the day I have an actual room dedicated to meals spent with the family.
3. Baskin Robbins, DQ, Subzero etc-ice cream, come on everyone knows ice cream heals wounds.
4. Restaurants-the list is so long I can't remember where I have been or where I plan on going. Needless to say the gym is where my butt needs to be within the next 24 hours or bye bye bikini season!
5. Build-A-Bear-also known as the crazy nut house for kids. Madison suckered me into buying another build-a-bear. Her little pout and innocent little face gets me every time.

So just to name a few I have officially broke the bank and cracked my debit card. No lie. A replacement card is coming in the mail within the next few days. I really need to hide the darn thing or I may be sorry later. 

I have no regrets in regards to my impulse buying extravaganzas but I do feel guilt for not fixing the issue that is causing all of this. I have a lot to think about and a few changes that need to occur. 

A life evaluation is in the works and I plan on making some major decisions soon. 

Until then, I will ask you this:

"How do you channel your feelings? What do you do to make your day better or to improve your mood? Have you made a life altering decision and what was the result?"

Add It To Your Shopping Cart

Who doesn't love to shop?

My weekly shopping visits to Target are becoming excessive!

Do you walk in a store to buy a few things and end up with a cart full of unneeded but wanted items?

That would be this girl!

Over the weekend I made another trip to my favorite store and also went to Staples because the organized/ocd voice inside of me needed some things.

Here's what I added to my shopping cart and recommend that you do the same!

1. My new 2014 notebook! I for the sake of keeping track of my to do items must write them down. I also like to jot down blog subjects! Getting everything out on paper relieves my mind and lowers my stress level. Do you carry a notebook?

2. I recently bought my Kindle HD Fire and have been on the lookout for a stylus pen. I finally stumbled upon this girly pink two in one pen! It works fabulously and prevents all of those unwanted finger prints on the screen.

3. I've noticed over the past week that my skin has been looking very dull. Also for some reason, I have dark under eye circles. So I did my research and found that Revlon's photoready foundation and powder were highly recommended. I also threw in Maybelline's Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles. I'm crossing my fingers for good results. Have you tried these items or recommend anything?

Along with these great items I also added to my shopping cart:

The ingredients to make this awesome recipe for Beefy Cornbread Casserole.

Last but not least my favorite item of all! This month's IWYP tee! Drop by and visit Whitney's blog to snag next month's deal!
