Oops: An Update!

Somehow, I managed to fall off of the planet. School has started and, even though I'm only taking 1 three hour class, my equilibrium has proven itself to be the most fragile of wienies. But I'm slowly getting back on that academia bicycle and looking to get back into a normal routine. More than that - I'm working on a schedule for more regular and consistent posting! Like, writing shit down and everything. We'll see how that turns out. @_@ I have a few posts up my sleeve already. (Some from my swatch-fest back in... July.) It's just a matter of getting those fuckers finished.

As for my low/no-buy plans. I murdered them. I straight up dragged my budget into a dark back alley, shanked it and took all of it's belongings. Thank you, Hello Waffle sale. And now, to keep things from getting any worse, I'm writing up wishlists in order to sate my sparkle/fragrance lusts. Hopefully I can turn it around into something positive!

That's really all I've got! Figured I'd jump in quick to let you know I'm still alive.

Hopefully tomorrow: Another Hello Waffle post, goddammit!

Accumulation Station and the Great July No-Buy

I feel like I neglect this blog terribly so I figured I'd pop in for a quick update and perhaps give you a brief glimpse into the future!

Having lived in my apartment for about 6-7 months, I suppose it's time to finally try and fill it with furniture as opposed to stacks of boxes. You know, like an adult would. Of course, this will put a bit of a strain on my finances so I figured I'd do my very first, big girl, no-buy through the month of July. (Or extreme low-buy because... c'mon.) Will I struggle? Yes. Will you? Not at all. I have accumulated so much stuff that I could go on a no-buy for months and never want for things to swatch. I may be able to pound out most of my planned posts this next month however because guess who's got a week long staycation coming up~ This bitch here! Ooohh yes. So, besides furniture shopping and so much day drinking, I will hopefully be swatching/blogging like a madwoman. So look forward to:

  • Siren Song Cosmetic's Distant Worlds Collection
  • Shiro Cosmetic's The Avengers Collection
  • A Mega Haul from Hello Waffle consisting of 3 whole collections and various extras!
  • A handful of samples from Limnit Lipsticks Grand Reopening (Depending on when they're delivered.)
  • Various Darling Girl petits that have been sitting here unswatched forever.
  • My Pretty Zombie Blush Samples (Also forever neglected.)
  • Shiro's Tributes and Seven Kingdom Collections (I've had these for a while but they deserve time in the spotlight.)

I also have a few collection-centric lookbooks in the works so hopefully those pan out! Scanning over everything, perhaps I'm biting off more than I can chew but my goal is to get as many of these posts done as possible. Weather permitting, of course. Seriously, it's like monsoon season here in the great Midwest and it's been dark and stormy every freakin' day. However it works out I hope I don't disappoint!

But if I end up spending the whole month playing Bravely Default... No regrets.
