Haul!

Hey Everyone,

So recently I did some shopping and I thought I'd share what I got! If you have a few minutes, please take a moment to watch. I suspect the video is funnier than I intended it to be, so it's free and good for a laugh. Which means it's healthy! There's no reason not to watch it. I bet your Doctor would even approve it ;)




This face! Oh my, I can't tell if I look ecstatic over my purchase or moved to tears.

Halloween Costume Ideas: 40's/50s Madmen Inspired Halloween Costume/Makeup/Hair How-to!

Hey Everyone,

It's October! And in the USA that means Fall and...Halloween! I'm not typically a huge fan of the day -candy bingeing and petty vandalism seem to be the name of the game where I'm from and I'm not into either.

However, I decided to focus on my favorite parts of the season; pumpkins, Fall fashion, glitter decorations, warm drinks, football, comfort food and of course, dressing up!
I haven't done anything fun for Halloween in years, but I've always loved making my own costumes, so I thought what better time than now to do some videos on it! My goal was to make use of things I already had on hand as much as possible and to spend less than $10 on any costume for additional items. So far I've stayed within that and I have already come up with 5 costume ideas!
 Now you might not have these items in your wardrobe, but you may have something similar. I hope this helps to give you some ideas!
 And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. If you wanted you could even send me a list of what you have on hand and I could try to help you come up with a costume or you could tell me what you wanted to go as and I can try to help you think of an inexpensive way to make it happen - I love to help!!

Best wishes,

Elisabeth <3 & :)


COSTUME NUMBER ONE:
SECRETARY BY DAY/PIN-UP BY NIGHT

September Favorites

Hey Everyone,

I hope you had a great September and that your October is already off to a great start! Mine is already off to a busy start! My last couple of weeks have been hectic too, lots of travel, getting to hang out with friends, some upheaval  in the career/love life/best friend areas and then settling down a bit again (hopefully!) and a return to cooler weather! Whew! Hopefully you all have had a less frenetic September :)

A list of what I've been loving this month is down below, as well as a quick video - I hope you take a minute to check it out! Every viewer means the world to me :)

Best wishes,

Elisabeth

Closet Clear Out! Part One

Hey Everyone,

Earlier this year I was inspired by pinksofoxy on YouTube to start buying less, and instead of always wanting to by more, more, more, to instead streamline my life. In this short video, I cleared out my winter wear. I find watching these kind of videos inspirational to watch and I hope this helps to inspire you too! 




I have gotten rid of so many boxes of makeup, clothing, jewelry, nail polish, home decor, books and I used up so many bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion, etc. You have no idea!  :) 

I am continuing to try and keep things neat and clutter free, and to make sure that when I buy something new, to try and make sure something else leaves! I loved watching her videos so much, that I thought I'd try sharing my clear out too, and my maintenance clearing out to try and keep things clutter free!
