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. Each time the link is used, I earn a bit for my investment account. No pressure to use these links of course, feel free to look up the site outside of my links if you prefer! 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...

      Hey there, fam!      I hope you are well and are enjoying your day! I wanted to share one of my favorite hands-free beauty secrets that keeps me from going into an OCD skin-picking spiral on a daily basis! (Or at least when I'm getting that delightful hormonal acne that plagues me every month.)     If you have cystic acne that does not come to a head easily or you consistently have big, painful whiteheads erupting on your face, this product is for you.      Disclaimer , all Amazon products linked in this blog post are affiliate links.  You can purchase without using the affiliate link as well, but using it helps me tremendously, so thank you!        Disclaimer (2) , I only use these as needed as they are a type of plastic and do not easily biodegrade. I've been trying to find biodegradable pimple patches that work similarly for a while, but alas, to no avail. Let me know in the comments if you kno...

      Hi, and welcome back for your weekly dose of me rambling about items I like!     This time, I wanted to talk about throwbacks again, specifically some of the favorites from 2015-2018 that I still  love and use!
