The Return. . .with Goodies!. . .

I know, I've been absent for awhile.  That's what happens, living that #gradlife.  I've been busy doing papers rather than blogging =(. . . its the bittersweet truth.  Howeverrrrr, I come bearing gifts (to myself lol):

 Ms. Simpson is definitely my go-to brand. . . shoes are so affordable, comfy and -snaps- on point!

ZARA. . . online? Word!. .

Shop ZARA online Sept 7th! !  !

I'm late with this post, but I went to ZARA a couple of weeks ago and the cashier stapled this lovely circle onto my receipt. . . nice to know that that USA residents can now shop from their beds.

Anyway, this is what I purchased. . .

New Endings, New Beginnings. . .

"It’s a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy. . ."

      Life is all about making mistakes, learning and growing.  It's also about what makes you happy, so be true to yourself and if you need to do some house cleaning (literally and metaphorically), make the strides to do so.  Some things and some people are placed in your life for only a season or so, so you can move on to better things. . .the life that was meant for you.  Be able to realize that and accept it. Love yourself and be kind to your soul. . . 

Welcome Back?. . .

      Yes. . . I am a proud owner of a PC which decided to be infected with viruses and land itself in the shop for a week. . . -le sigh-  I am s t r o n g l y considering (and am going to) buy a MacBook Pro really, really soon. I've learned a lot in this past week lol

      Any who, on to the next. . .

Quick [Impromptu] Thrift. . .

Beauty Aisle Please. . .

      Don't shoot me. . . I haven't posted anything in awhile =(.  However, I have a couple of new things going on.  For now, let's start with one of my many ways of dealing with life's ups and downs:

S H O P P I N G ! ! ! 

Not overboard, just enough to soothe the soul. . .

First stop!!>>>>>

     
      I cannot get enough of this place! I spend most of my time playing in make up, taking my time looking at the products, talking to other customers and of course, conversing (aka interrogating lol) with the staff who are always helpful (I learn something new every time!)

A Touch of Independence. . .

      I thoroughly enjoyed my 4th of July weekend.  It was filled with cookouts, fun, drinks, randomness, fireworks, parades, laughs, love and rainy day thrifting!  I loved it!

      First things first, what better way to start off the month with a little holiday thrifting which was 50% off for members.  I visited two locations of the same store, took my time perusing the aisles and racks in spite of the excited crowd of people and came out with some lovely purchasing. .  .#winning.

-singing- Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!  Hear the pearly gates opening? Lol!
