Woo! Las Vegas!
I know I’ve been complaining about the money situation lately and this seems a little counterintuitive, but I’m going to Las Vegas!!! 😀My friend C and I had originally planned to travel somewhere warm together in February, but our schedules and budgets and stuff never really synched up so we didn’t go at that time.

Cake is on sale!
Ahhh! Cake is on sale today only for 50% off! *dies* I love their Velveteen Hand Creme to bits, I even did a review of it! However at $18 a pop I can’t afford to buy it all the time, so I totally just scooped 2 of them today! If you’re interested, go to cakebeauty.com […]

Retail Therapy
I’m still a little upset about yesterday’s issue with my roommate, but I’m hoping that she’ll pay me back quite soon. I didn’t exactly confront her about it, but managed to bring it up twice in conversation last night. I think she gets the picture; plus I sent her a txt with the exact amount […]

Birthday Money
So this week is my birthday, but I went home to see my family this weekend so we could do the family birthday thing. I also got to open some presents and cards that family sent over. Now that I’m older I don’t expect or get very much for my birthdays, but my grandparents still […]

Etsy Confessions
*sigh* Guys, I have something to confess. I think I’m addicted to Etsy. I just bought 2 more things today, and I fear that I will be buying more shortly… It seems I just can’t stop myself! Today I purchased two custom-made monogrammed purse hooks for myself, and for my mom as a stocking-stuffer. They’re […]

Plus-sized Fashion Part 1: Shopping Resources
When it comes to style, being fat ain’t easy. The fashion industry seems to think that larger girls like me do not require stylish, flattering or comfortable clothes like the rest of the population. There are very few retailers that cater to anyone above a size 12, even though the average North American woman is […]

Avast, ye scallywag!

The haul is as follows: Handmade chainmail necklace (yes, that’s me modelling it in my pirate garb) Next up we have a beautiful handmade beaded necklace. The woman actually strung the […]
