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.

    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.
