I did something good, with not so good results.

I BOUGHT A CAR

I bought a new car on February 25th 2016. It's not my first car, and it's not the first car that I bought. But it is the first NEW car! It's a 2011 Equinox. 

It's been a little bit since I was able to sit down and blog, and I once again apologize to anyone who avidly follows my blog. I don't know why I feel the need to apologize for my lack of activity on here, it's not like I write this for anyone but me. If I happen to impact someone life then I am so grateful I was able to do that. But this is my safe place...and lately, I haven't felt safe doing anything (more on that another time). 

So, I drove the new car to a company meeting today, in Watertown which is close too two hours away, and I noticed when I left in the morning around 6:30 am that my car was making a strange noise...almost like popcorn... and then when I put the poor thing in reverse the sound it made was so bad, it made me uncomfortable hearing it...metal grinding on metal. 

I've only had the car for three-ish days and I haven't put three thousand miles on it, and it hasn't been thirty days...so it should fall under the lemon law policy...and I shouldn't have to pay for the problem to get fixed. Emphasis on the shouldn't. I'll keep you posted with what happens. 

Welcoming in 2016, and saying goodbye to 2015.

In the spirit of returning to my blog, I felt it was finally time to officially ring in the new year. 
2015 was a really good year for me, it started in Disney World, so of course it was kicked off in the most magical of ways. 

My entire family, and Shannon, came to get me from Disney world, They landed on the 1st and we flew out on the morning of the 6th to come back to New York. 
I came home and went back to working at Price Chopper. Which was probably the least exciting moments I had while being home. I gave them my two weeks notice in May, around the same time I was hired at Pizza Hut. I love it there, I never thought serving would be for me, but I really enjoy it. 

After leaving Price Chopper, I picked up a second job at TJ maxx...Which is you read my previous post you know is no longer something I am doing. 
Over the summer we took a week long vacation to Darien Lake 

Amanda, Nicole, and I did the red hawk sky coaster....and it was beyond cool...and also terrifying.
2015 also had it share of heartbreaks.... 
I fell for a boy, and that didn't pan out. 
I got a kitten.... 

 Everyone, meet Dobby. This sweet little Angel came into our lives in August of 2015...and was taken in November of 2015.... I don't want to get into the details of what happened...it's really traumatic and heart breaking. 

As Christmas rolled around our hearts still hung low for the loss of the kitten...but one of my really good friends/manager from Pizza hut got me a secret Santa gift... 

Meet Bandit...Who arrived as Sammi, was briefly known as Jasper...and is finally known as Bandit.

2015 had a lot of really good times...I hope 2016 has many equally amazing moments.

Life Updates, Struggles, and fears.

Hello everybody! I know it's been a hot minute since I have uploaded any content to this...and for that I am so apologetic. I know I have said it over and over again that I would get better, and upload more frequently...This time I will. Since my last post I have returned to taking classes on campus. I still have two jobs, but at the moment I am working three. I have given TJ Maxx my two weeks notice and I am starting at Yoberry soon! I still love working for pizza hut, and I rarely ever have a free moment. This blog does mean a lot to me, and the more I think about it the more I do want to share my passion with everyone. 

I am graduating, and I am getting a second degree. I plan to bring more reviews, recipes, DIYs, and much much more to this blog. So stay tuned, and I hope your day is going great! 

--Until next time-- <3

Revamping.

Hello everybody! Thanks for continuing to follow this, even with the limited content that I have been putting out. Which, is hopefully about to change. I have been the absolute worst when it comes to this damn planner updates. Which has been driving me crazy because I plan weekly. Like I lay out all the stickers I plan to use in my spread on Saturday, plan on Sunday, and by plan I mean I have already gone through and placed sticky notes down for all my important events or reminders. Anything extra gets filled in as I go. I do have some new stickers coming in the mail from paper cuts and pliers, I am going to try and do a "mini-haul" on those. 

So the reason behind my MIA status, truthfully, I have no excuse. Yes, I work two jobs and go to school ( that's another story entirely) but somehow I still have free time. I just don't use it too do productive things like manage my blog. I am going to be changing that! I want this to be my home away from home, whenever I need to vent about something, or want to review something. 

So guys, be prepared I am hopefully going to be making these changes quickly. 

Keep an eye out! 

Long distance.

Hello everybody! 

Okay, so this isn't going to be my usual post. This is going to be about my "love life", of what little love life I have. I met this guy( not going to mention names) about three years ago, we've been flirty and couple a lot over the years. Well, I was living in Florida from May 2014-January 2015 so we never got a chance to 'test the waters' as they say. He moved away shortly after I moved home. I do consider him my one that got away... In all honesty. We have talked on and off since he left, and recently he asked if I would come visit him after the holidays. I would be saving up $300+ go fly there for a week. A guy wouldn't just ask you do to do that for a booty call right? Like he must have feelings for me too. 

Am I being to hopeful? Help. I have caught the feels and I don't know how to process them.

Changes to come (UPDATE)

Hello Everybody!

Thanks for tuning in! 

As I previously posted I apologize for my lack of posts lately! I promise that tomorrow I am going to be uploading a post of my past, and present, Erin Condren Vertical Life Planner. As promised though today I am going to link some of my favorite Etsy shops! 

Ink and Paperie

I just recently placed my 5th order with this shop, She has amazing stickers, great washi samples, and overall my favorite thing about this particular shop is her customer service.

Check out Gaby's Instagram @inkandpaperie

Planner Girls

I have only ordered once from this shop, and although there was an issue with my sticker sheets being cut almost completely through which has made them ridiculously hard to use, I adore the stickers quality and love the shop overall. 

Paper Cuts and Pliers

One of my overall favorite shops, The sticker quality is amazing, the colors are prefect, and her shipping is incredible! I have ordered several sheets from her, I think totaling over 20 sheets in two orders.  

Check out her instagram @Papercutsandpliers +PaperCutsAndPliers 

Nicole Alexia Designs

I have ordered several different sticker sets from this shop. I love her Matte stickers (Which she will no longer be carrying as she is switching to a RTS shop). The quality is amazing, and the paper is thin and light weight! 

Check her out on Instagram as well @NicoleAlexiaDesigns 

These are my top stores to purchase from right now, I am looking into other stores as well! I usually wait until I see a sale to try new stores, that way I can pick up a variety of their stickers! Another good way to test out a shop is to buy their samplers. 

Missing in Action:

I am so sorry guys! I've been crazy busy with both jobs and school... I know it sounds crazy my dreams change so often that I can barely keep up with them anymore. I did receive my Erin Condren planner, and a bunch of sticker order already. I was supposed to film my unboxing video and never got around too it before actually needing my planner. So I will be posting a couple of the weeks past, and some of the weeks to come with my layouts. I will be listing all my favorite shops on ETSY to purchase stickers but I think I am going to be getting some ink for my printer and some sticker paper so I can take advantage of the cheaper printable stickers. So keep an eye out guys! leave a comment below with any questions you may have!
