Peachy Products

Soap & Glory's The Righteous Butter, Soap & Glory's A Great Kisser, E.L.F's Lip Balm Tint in peach

Good surprises come in small packages. I wasn't expecting to love Soap & Glory's products as much as I do. The lotion smells so distinct it's almost like a stand alone fragrance. I try to refrain from wearing another perfume if I've put on The Righteous Butter. The lip balm is the perfect coral pink and it stays on for hours. Same with the E.L.F. lip balm. I purchased it on impulse and am happy with how creamy and peachy orange it is.

Some exciting things within the past week:

1. Purchased a pair of black espadrilles: So I can do summer goth/summer French girl a la Emmanuelle Alt, of course! These are by Sperry - never thought I'd wear a pair of Sperry's - but these are so comfortable and they are espadrilles without being too espadrille-y.

2. Started Bullet Journaling: After stumbling upon Bullet Journaling on Tumblr, I decided to give it a go myself. I miss religiously writing in my planner but have recently fallen out. This makes me stick to it since I have to constantly go back and check things off as well as write in what to do the next day. I recommend trying it out and I also recommend getting lost scrolling through the #studyblr tag on Tumblr. Some people are crazy dedicated.

3. Celebrated Record Store Day: by getting Donna Summer, Atlanta Rhythm Section, London Disco, and David Bowie records for $1 and one of my all time favorite records Silent Shout by The Knife. I've always wanted to celebrate RSD but every year I never seem to be around an actual record store when it rolls around! This time, though, I made sure to head down to Nashville and participate.

Paste and Primary

Seashells from Pensacola, hand-me-down jewelry pieces, new stickers from record shops and friends.

Pastel and primary seems to accurately fit my aesthetic lately. I like softer tones like blush and periwinkle and sea foam green but I also like edgier colors like Yves Klein blue, red orange and hearty plant green. The same goes for my tastes in everything else in seems. More on that later.
