Out of all the ‘cheap’ clothing websites, I’ve found shein to be the most reliable. The website is shoppable and for the most part the clothes are a win. (like this cutie of a flutter sleeve number for less than $15) Of course there are some negatives, as with any shop, but if you know how to navigate things you can come away happy most every time. 

THE TRUTH ABOUT LIVING WITH PMDD

This post is a long time coming, as I've thought doing a thinkpiece/ documentation/ 'you're not alone'/ whatever the dippy-do you'd like to call it on this disorder for awhile, but I didn't know if it was too 'personal.' There's an odd sort of taboo that still goes on around periods & all that comes with them, including period related disorders. I think it’s amazing that endometriosis has been having its spotlight lately, as it should. The more we talk about these things, the less of a stigma there is. Living with an invisible illness can be a strange feeling, because it's invisible. If you don't already know the person has it, you won't know. 

VISION BOARD INSPO

Let’s talk quick & easy today about VISION BOARDS. 

THE BEAUTY EPIDEMIC NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT

Something I’m often caught deep in thought about (yeah, we’re getting right into the dramz today) is social media and the effect it, along with society in general, has on young women, namely teenagers. The latest pop of thoughts stemmed from Chloe’s post on how Instagram beauty trends aren’t real life & this gem of a tumblr post. 

Friday Thoughts

... That nobody asked for.

THE PETITE FILES | TIPS FOR FINDING JUMPSUITS

Jumpsuits are tricky little game for us petites. It’s either a need-to-put-this-on-instagram-immediately hit or a need-to-return-immediately and never be seen in it again miss. 

FOUR THINGS I'VE BEEN LOVING LATELY

It's been awhile since I've done a good old "favorites" round up, so I thought I'd bring ya one today.

PLAYLIST VOL. ONE | SPRING 2018

I know all the ‘blog rules’ say quality over quantity, and not to post just to post but when have I ever been a rule follower? (JK, I actually follow the rules a lot but when it comes to blogging? eh) 

Anyway, I’ve got a kickass playlist to share anyway so SCREW THE RULES. What are blogging rules anyway, and we do we think we have to follow them? Hmm, a post for another day? Maybe.

Spring Accessories | The Wooden Watch

Growing up I wasn't a huge watch fan, (even though high school was filled with fossil & Michael Kors) but once I got to college and into my twenties I realized just how much of a necessity it is. &, if you choose the right one, it can be the perfect every day accessory, which is where Jord watches come in. 

THE UNDER $20 ROMPER YOU NEED

DON'T WORRY FOLKS, today I'm featuring something that is indeed not sold out. whew. 

Okay, now let's talk ROMPERS. They’ve been a spring/ summer staple of mine for years, & thank goodness they’re still in because I eat. them. up. 

THE BEST ECZEMA PRODUCTS

A few years back I wrote a post highlighting the products I used for my eczema, but that’s changed since then, as well as my blogging skills thank you very much. 

Having literally come out of the womb with the skin condition tearing it’s ugly head, I’ve had twenty three years of trial & error, trying to combat flare ups and deal with the itchiness that makes you wanna scream. 

A Moment For Embroidery (& Cherries)

The embroidery trend is one I haven't been that much into. I don't know about you, but spotting a cute jacket or pair of shorts, only to discover it's covered in rainbows or floral embroidery or whatever they might decide to throw on there really makes me wanna yell WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US??  

ON FRIENDSHIP.

I won't tell you how much Friends trivia I know in order to know that the original pitch for the show included the line "[it's] about friendship because when you're single and in the city, your friends are your family." From the time I first properly watched the show at sixteen, I longed for friendships like that with girls I could call my very best friends. Not long after, Pretty Little Liars came onto the scene, & I longed for a strong group of a girl gang even more deeply. (Only minus the friend who faked her own death and the whole A thing) Sometimes it seems silly to relate television so much to real life, but there's a reason it resonates so deeply with people. It might be fictional, but the emotions and stories are real.
