Makeup Monday - Just My Luck

Hi all!  I just wanted to drop a quick post to apologize for missing this week's Makeup Monday. My Just My Luck palette seems to have gone missing. I had hoped it would turn up, because I haven't taken it anywhere so it should be in the house somewhere, but it hasn't. I'm not sure if my daughter decided to play with it and I just haven't located it yet, or what happened to it. Hopefully it turns up soon because I really liked it and I can't buy a new one until my no buy is over.

Anyway, I rolled the dice for this week and came up with the Bad Habit Retro Love palette. This one was a dupe for the ABH Subculture palette. I really like the colors in this but I haven't really used it much since I got it. I've noticed that some of my palettes just don't get used as often as they should because I tend to stick to my favorites (Sweet Peach is my most used, it's just really versatile.) Here's a picture:

Stay tuned for my Friday declutter, I'm getting rid of a palette that I'm pretty sure is a counterfeit Too Faced Glitter Bomb palette so I'll break down the difference between dupe palettes like the Retro Love palette and counterfeit palettes in that declutter post. See you tomorrow for my budget update and some tips for avoiding fast food when you're out running errands at lunchtime!

Ongoing Projects

And I'm back! This week I'm going to talk about how I plan to tackle my hobby spending. As I mentioned in my previous post I have a lot of unfinished projects and projects that I have supplies for that I would like to work on. I also have a lot of sewing and knitting patterns I've bought and never used that I'd like to get some use out of. I also have a MASSIVE stash of yarn and fabrics that I've been hoarding over the years. BEHOLD! My craft room closet in all it's, er, glory? Please not that that's not even all of it. I have yarn stashed all around the house as well as fabric that I've washed but haven't boarded and stored in the closet yet. In order to attempt to organize this madness I've created a couple of different means of tracking my projects. For my sewing I have made myself a spreadsheet with tabs for each pattern maker that I've purchased patterns from. I've made a row for each pattern with columns for a picture of the

Why Are Fabric Companies Trying Me Right Now?

Hi all! Here we are on financial update Wednesday. I know I missed declutter Friday and Makeup Monday but I've been recouperating from a minor procedure I had on Friday and didn't feel up to blogging. Nothing serious, and I'm fine, just needed some rest. Of course one of the things that I tend to do when I'm not feeling well is to spend way too much time looking at things on my phone I have no business looking at which led me to notice that a bunch of fabric companies have really cool fabric out right now that I'd love to buy but can't. While it's been tempting I managed to not get anything so I'm pretty proud of myself. Some of the preorders are going to be open for a while yet so I have to keep not buying them until the end of the month. I'm dodging fabrics with images ranging from The Witcher to Rainbow Brite here so it's not going to be easy. Helping me along the way is the fact that Awesome Con just announced that the cast from Back to the

Declutter and Crafting for a Cause

Hello out there! This week I've decided to declutter something that isn't an article of clothing. I have lots more clothing items that I can get rid of but I think I'll save some of them for weeks when I can't think of something to declutter. I've decided to get rid of a powder foundation instead. Pictured: the driest powder foundation of them all I don't know why the description on the Ulta website says that this blends effortlessly for a flawless airbrushed finish but it made my face look dry as a desert. It also says that it has medium to full coverage but I couldn't get it to cover anything. If I tried to build it up it just started looking more and more dry. I really wanted to like this because I thought that it would be something easy I could just swipe on when I didn't feel like doing anything else but that isn't happening. I've tried this over primer, on my bare face, over moisturizer, with a hydrating setting spray, you name it a
