Review It Girl

Hi all, and welcome back! Today, I'm going to be discussing some jewelry-making items and tools that I've gotten this year that have made my life a lot easier for the projects I've been doing. Lately, I've been working on upcycling things like bottle caps into charms and keychains, and donating my projects to local shelters through my church.  Without further ado, let's get into what I've gotten and loved this year!

     Hello! We are back in the U.S.A. and boy, do I have a lot to say about our amazing  honeymoon!     Before I get all the way into my rant, I just wanted to stay transparent and let you know that any links in today's post relating to G Adventures will be an affiliate link.

Just wanted to be open and honest before we get started.      We decided to book through a group travel service because we didn't want to rough a new country alone, and after much research, we decided on G Adventures . We were not disappointed. This trip was everything we wanted and more!     First off, booking through the site was a dream. We were lucky and checked out all the trips we could go on during a sale!  Apparently, they have several of these per year, so if you like a speci...

    Hi all!     As you've probably seen from a few of my posts, a big goal is to stay a bit more eco-friendly in this consumerized world. I wouldn't say I'm a minimalist or simple living, but I do try to be thoughtful with my purchases and only buy items I feel I realistically need and will definitely reuse. If I can't reuse something, I want it to be biodegradable if I can find it in that form.     Here are two switches I made this year and why I love them...      Disclaimer : All Amazon products linked in this blog post are affiliate links.  You can also make a purchase without using the affiliate link, but using it helps me tremendously, so thank you!   Image Source      These reusable produce bags are crafted from 100% organic cotton mesh , offering a sustainable alternative to single‑use plastic bags.
