Review of shopEphemera ft. beautiful jewelry major heart eyes

Hello lovelies! How are you doing today? I hope your doing fabulous 🙂

The lovely Rachael from shopEphemera recently sent me three of her gorgeous necklaces from her Etsy shop, which you can check out here! She was SO wonderful to work with and I’m so excited to show you all what she sent me!

The necklaces all came packaged beautifully, each in separate bags so they don’t get tangled. These bags were also super fun to reuse for sticking pen-pal goodies in so I got a double use out of them!

Here are the three necklaces/chokers I received, aren’t they so lovely? My favorite is probably the star choker, I think it’s so cute and I absolutely adore it! Here are links to each necklace/choker:

My review:

The necklaces all came packaged wonderfully and shipped quickly. Racheal was very helpful and kind to work with and overall I really enjoyed collaborating with her! My favorite necklace I received was the gold star choker, I think it’s so adorable and I love what it adds to an outfit! After wearing the star choker continually, I noticed that it did tarnish but I haven’t noticed that about the other two I received. I’m absolutely in love with all these necklaces and I adore wearing them! The star choker has had a constant presence in my day to day outfits as it goes so well with everything.

Photo credits (again) to my sister Aubrey 🙂 She’s quite skilled (or so she likes to inform me xDDD) Just kidding. I love her photography 🙂

All in all, I think Racheal’s shop has some beautiful things and I recommend 🙂 Thank you once again to Racheal for being so willing to collaborate with me and being so kind, I really appreciate it 🙂

Thank you so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed! Which necklace is your favorite? Do you prefer necklaces or chokers? How has you day gone? I hope it’s been fabulous! Talk to me in the comments, I’d love to chat!

My recent garage sale finds ft. my new addiction to cardigans Jumps and squeals with joy

Hello beautiful people! How has your June went? I can. not. believe. that. June. is almost. over.!!! It’s so crazy and I’m not readyyyy 😳 Has anyones else’s June went like that? I feel like it flew by!

Anyways, recently one of our local roads had their neighborhood garage sales! If you know me, you know I love thrifting and yard/garage sailing 🙂 It’s a great way to find new clothes for cheap, and it’s a good way to not support the fast fashion business! I love a good deal so I LOVE garage sailing. I found a cardigan and I’m now obsessed. I found a couple more at later garage sales and I am very pleased with what I ended up with 🙂

My friend and our mothers went with us and I scored BIG. At least in my opinion 🙂 I’ll try to remember the prices and put them below the pictures but here are some of my favorite finds!

***Photo credits to my dear sister Aubrey 🙂 She gained a shirt that I had bought but didn’t love so she was well payed for taking like 5 pictures 😂 Also, these pictures are in no particular order, I love them all 🙂 Now, let’s go!

This lovely “wrap shirt sweater thing” was one dollar. ONE DOLLAR.

I’m not a huge fan of the color as gray doesn’t look the best on me in my opinion but this was one of my first things I found and I’m very pleased. I think it will be an adorable sweater for fall and winter and I can’t wait to use it in outfits this coming year! I’m also wearing it right now but it’s been in the 80’s where I live so it’s a bit too hot 😉

This cute little cardigan was…. wait for it… .50!!! Fifty cents people. I’m in awe 😂 I absolutely love this color and the black fits my wardrobe perfectly, I wear a ton of black shirts 😉 Side note: sorry about the horrible nails I have, I need to take off the remaining nail polish but it’s not much 😂 This is maybe my favorite find, it’s so versatile and will look super cute with tons of things 🙂

AHHH I LOVE THIS SWEATER 🥰 It was one of the spendier things I bought and even though I say it wasn’t as cheap as others, it was only $2! My kind sister told me (as I tried it on) that there is a VERYYY fine line between looking like a grandma and looking cute 😂 She said I look cute but I was slightly offended at first xD. I still love it though and I can’t wait to wear this cute sweater with a dress this year! Or even with a pair of shorts and a shirt, the possibilities are endless 🥳

**Credit to my lovely bestest friend Danielle for finding this for me, I very much appreciate it 🙂 ❤️

This bad boy was a dollar. Seriously, I love garage sailing so much, I can’t even. This cardigan didn’t come tied up but I think it looks cuter tied so thats how its going for right now 🙂 I adore the color, it’s so pretty! I think it’ll look super cute with some black jeans and Birkenstocks or a ton of other outfits 🙂

And that concludes this post! Thank you so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed! Have a wonderful day 🙂

Which shirt is your favorite? Have you ever been garage sailing? If so, whats your best find of all time? How has your June been? Talk to me in the comments, I’d love to chat 🙂

Meet my baby brother + sorry I’ve been absent! cue the awwwws

Hello beautiful people!! How are you? I’m doing good 🙂
You may have noticed that I kind of fell off the earth for a while there and I didn’t get my May wrap-up or June bujo set-up posted and sadly I don’t think I will get them up. But oh well, please give me grace 🙂 I had a lot going on and I don’t want to stress myself out trying to get those posts up. I’m hoping from now on to be more active in the community! wow what a generic paragraph that was, but I genuinely mean it.

anyways: onto some extremely exciting news!

My Baby brother was born!!

Introducing to you: Tucker Canton. Or at least thats his name for now, my mom is still on the fence but I think his name will be Tucker. Isn’t that the cutest name? And isn’t HE the cutest? Of course I may be a bit biased but I’m in love. He was born Sunday and he weighed 8 lb. and 13 oz., My mom’s heaviest baby by one ounce!

He sleeps a lot, like most babies, but he’s also really chill. When he’s awake he just lays there looking around all wide eyed. He has an adorable dimple in his left cheek that shows up when he yawns and it will melt your heart. He loves being held and doesn’t like to stay sleeping if you put him down but that hasn’t been a problem as everyone in our house is obsessed with him and so he’s constantly being held ❤️

He’s the cutest thing ever. In my opinion. Thanks to God for a healthy and happy baby and a safe delivery for him and my Mom.

Anyways, thats all for today but I thought I’d pop in and introduce my newest sibling! I hope to have more posts up very soon so keep your eyes open for that! I hope you enjoyed!

How many siblings do you have? Whats your favorite Boy name? Do you have dimples? I don’t sadly. :(( Talk to me in the comments, I’d love to chat!
