A Little Do-It-Yourself Distraction =)

Lately, I’ve been finding that I’m more interested in all-natural, organic, and just homemade things! I’ve been substituting as many of my favorite products as possible, with simpler (as in, ingredients I can pronounce) DIY or homemade versions. It started with my haircare stuff!

I moved to Alaska! It sounds really exciting, and a bit impulsive, but it reallyContinue reading “Moving On Up!”

Directionless…

So, for the past few years I’ve felt a little directionless. That’s not to say that I haven’t been actively working towards several important goals. I have.
