Amber who?


Remember when your mom used to forego buying herself anything and just spend money on you? I’m totally there. I’m buying my kid cuter clothes than myself. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I’ve become a little nostalgic for the old me the past couple of months, and the old me knew how to shop. Don’t get me wrong --- I’m buying things, but they’re boring things. Black yoga pants, fleece jackets, tshirts… Day to night things, except by night I mean sleeping in my bed… When did I get so lazy?

So, Project Me begins…

First order of business, be happy on the inside. 3 take aways: Gratitude, spiritualism, and health. When I make these a priority, life falls into place for me, and I can focus on the present moment which makes a person happy.

Second, is finding something that will work on my face, so I can wear a bit of makeup again. I’m going to try the Norwex washcloths to see if they will take makeup off my face without me having to use a cleanser… My skin doesn’t like cleansers-toners-moisturizers, so if I can remove the makeup with a microfiber cloth, I might not break out, or so my thoughts are... I’ll keep you posted on how THAT goes…  

Thirdly (just because that’s a funny word), I need some clothes and accessories. Oh boy do I need some new clothes and accessories*. I’m on the style hunt, and I’m pinning things like crazy on Project Me.

*and let’s not forget Step 3.1: How do I tweak the budget so that I can actually GET some new clothes and accessories…

  2. Love it! I will take you shopping and hook you up on a budget (which is the only way I shop!!) Reading this is like reading what's in my head, but in a much funnier and delightful way!
