So now that all of the Holidays are upon us, I hope that you are done shopping or DIYing. Every year I promise to start earlier and I never do. Instead everyone is just getting crappier stuff and less of it. Now if you’re one of those people who thinks that a gift card is a cop out…sorry. I’m still recommending it as a great gift. I know people who are highly offended by that kind of thing. I don’t get it because instead of stressing about what to get, they can decide for themselves. No one is entitled to …read more

Since today is my wedding anniversary, well ours not just mine, I thought I would list a few things that are on my “Must Have” list. Chances are something might catch your eye and you can add it to your list as well. Maybe for yourself or maybe for someone else. I won’t judge. I’ve been trying to cut out all truly unnecessary non-essential purchases lately but it is just so HARD. A few reasons why:
Origins Ginger Body Souffle with Olive and Apricot Kernel oils is just calling me. I tried it out a few months ago while in a …read more

I told you the other day about my new Etsy find, Savor. I received my soaps on Saturday and I’m back with an update. I implore you, no demand that you get there right now and get one of her soaps. It’s just not right if you don’t. It’s as if I have seen into the future and know that you are about to get hit by a bus. It would be morally wrong for me to not stop you from stepping out in the street, right? Okay so then it’s my duty to tell you that you cannot continue …read more

 
I am a self professed Etsyoholic. I can stop anytime I want to though. Really I can. I just need one more handmade soap man. Oh…and a reusable shopping bag made out of a t-shirt. I jest but seriously, there are just endless opportunities on Etsy for me to waste money. I was reading an interview with Etsy seller Savon and decided to check out her store and it’s really too bad I did. I had to buy more soap. Like seriously do I need more soap? I did see something that was quite lovely for you suckers that won’t give …read more

Some people are really hard to shop for. You know the kind. No matter what it is, they find a way to point out what they don’t like about it. When you buy them what they asked for, they complain about your lack of creativity. So I have decided this year to give up. If they’re just gonna bitch, not going to be delighted with my gesture of love then I’m going to buy something I know I would like. Selfish? Yes, but I’m over it. So here are some of my crave-worthy wants this year. Hopefully they will be so disgusted they regift …read more
