June 2023 Month in Review

Blog, what blog? I’m getting to my monthly recap a little later than I was hoping, but I’m sure it comes as no surprise considering I’ve really been slacking in the blogging department lately… Part of the reason I’ve been so MIA is because of my stupid phone camera! I’ve mentioned a few times that it’s been having trouble focusing lately and has just gotten worse and worse, even after doing a factory reset. It’s so frustrating trying to get photos I like, so I’ve almost stopped doing photoshoots altogether… I took my phone into a shop today and they ordered a new camera for it—hopefully that does the trick. Otherwise, it’s a motherboard issue and I’ll have to get a new phone (thankfully my warranty doesn’t end until July 31—I haven’t even had the phone a year yet, UGH!). Fingers crossed I can get back to my regular photos and blog posts soon. Continue reading “June 2023 Month in Review”

I’ve found that waiting to set my goals until the middle of the month actually eliminated some of the unhealthy expectations and resolutions I might have otherwise set on January 1st… I know I can’t hope to achieve any “do this every day” goals when January is already almost over, ha!

A ‘Night Out’ Look with The Thrifty Six

It’s time for another Thrifty Six collaboration, and this month’s theme, chosen by Nancy, is a little out of the ordinary… “We’re not angry birds!” While I was initially taken aback by this fun and unique theme, I quickly thought of this teal faux fur jacket that I thrifted while in Scotland. Sure, it’s not feathers, but faux fur was the next closest thing in my closet. And the pretty color reminded me of the beautiful plumage of a peacock! When I told my boyfriend about the theme, though, he reminded me that we are *not* angry birds… so then really, based off the once-popular game, that means I should’ve dressed up as a green pig, ha!  Continue reading “A ‘Night Out’ Look with The Thrifty Six”
