pocket sized wardrobe for a pocket sized gal

Obviously planning a wedding never goes perfectly. Maybe if you hire someone and have a lot of money it does. But I didn't and I don't. So, here I am to show you the hard parts of planning a wedding. Or, I guess, my wedding. The biggest question I get from people that I don't know that well is "Was it all worth it?" And my answer is a RESOUNDING yes! I definitely went over my budget that I never really exactly pinned down or decided what it was, but I am so beyond happy that I was able to plan, execute, and now reminisce upon the best day of my life.  Whoa's : location, venue, people, decor, husband husband husband, feeling closer to everyone who attended, specialty drinks, the wedding overall  Woes : favors, bridesmaid shoes, cheese-cake, dress sleeves, losing weight! This might end up being a multi-blog because really this blog is for me, and I want to write and post pictures about everything so I can remember it forever beyond just the photos. ...

For quite a few years actually I have been on the hunt for the perfect deodorant. I decided to go with a natural and cruelty-free deodorant instead of an antiperspirant around 4 or 5 years ago. Deodorant is used to reduce odor using antibacterial ingredients and antiperspirant reduces odor and sweat by closing sweat ducts.

At the end of the day, I want to use as many natural & cruelty-free products and consume as much unprocessed foods as I possibly can.  An easy way to do that is by switching out my beauty products for ones that have as few ingredients as possible and GOOD ingredients that are all natural.  All natural a...

Capsule Wardrobe Office Edition is almost complete! I need to take a picture and post the jeans I decide on (haven't decided on my light wash or dark wash!!) and some khaki or mustard colored pants that I am still in the market for.   BOTTOMS: SWEATERS:   LONG SLEEVE BLOUSES: YES this and the other white button down shirt are basically the same, which is capsule taboo, BUT this is t shirt material cotton and does not have cuffs and is sooooo comfy. Perfect way to have a dressy look in a casual feel. This one pairs well with the pencil skirt and both slacks with flats or booties.  The shirt above is for layering with sweaters or to wear with jeans and to elevate the look a bit more than this t shirt material one.   SHORT SLEEVE SHIRTS:  DRESSES: To come- outfit combo ideas, shoes, and I'm in the market for one more short sleeve blouse in a colorful pattern or pretty blue or blush color. I also h...
