Reconnecting With Yourself

 


    I continue to believe that a big part of starting over is reconnecting with yourself. It is important to remind yourself things you used to find passion in. I'm the happiest when I am feeling truly authentic. Selling has been a part of my soul for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately, it continues to be an area that I "take a break from" or compromise on when it comes to giving something up.  It's essential to not feel shame about having things in your life that bring you peace.  I took time this weekend to pick out some cute packaging from the Dollar Tree to wrap one of my latest sales in.  As you can see, I have little cactus stickers, adorable rainbow paper, and to die for mini kitty cat card in this picture. I'm hoping that my buyer will smile when they open their package and that this bit of color will add sunshine to their day. 



    Something about myself that I have observed is that it is really on the day before I go back to work that I get truly productive.  It is like a countdown to when I will have no more time in my week left. Therefore, in honor of this observation, today I did a lot of different things at home. In addition to packaging up my order, I also got vegetable chili into the crockpot, vacuumed the floor, cleaned Mouse's (the cat) eating area,  painted my nails, took product photos, thrifted, and went to counseling. Hopefully, I will sleep well tonight! 



This is the picture of one of my swim dresses by Torrid (Size 3 X) that I will be listing in my Ebay shop. For anyone that is interested, you can find my shop by clicking on ===> Bluffton House . I do not always have a lot listed but I am going to make more of an effort to list clothing on a regular basis. I love boho styles, plus sizes, and soft materials! I take great care to make sure everything I sell is in New-Very Good condition. And all items are from a non smoking home. 

That's all I have for tonight! I am sending you so much inspiration to find your peace and reconnect with it. it is never too late to start over, darling.

Thrifted Potteries & Finding Out What You Love

  I can't explain to you how many times I have sworn off buying breakable items. And yet, here today I gave in to filling my Goodwill thrift store buggy with delicate, textured, and colorful pottery.  Basically, all that was breakable, went in haha! I've noticed that I am attracted to speckled pottery. Thankfully, I did manage to reason with myself and put back a teapot that would have cost more than it was worth to ship. I've had a few very exhausting shipping experiences lately. One being a model boat that I sent one state away for $130 dollars.  A quote I always say is that "sometimes we pay to learn!"  Speaking of things I am attracted too... I figured I would list a few.  Vintage Scales  Old Hardback Books  Monstera, Tropical, And Rare Plants My Crockpot  Apothecaries  Carved Wood Animals Beaded, Handmade, Geometric Jewelry Self Care & Decorating Books Cats & Dogs  Whimsical & Nature Photography Room Spray  Vanilla ...

Thrifting Vintage Treasure To Decorate My Small Bedroom With

      My boyfriend and I have discovered this new bins store near us called, Where Ya Bin. Apparently, this store sells only Amazon returns at discounted prices. I wish I had a picture of the entire place but imagine the Goodwill Bins and that is pretty much it! The prices vary by day and decrease as the week goes on. Yesterday, it was $3 day. I picked up a few things like some crochet tools that I'm going to use to work with clay. Can you tell that I like to repurpose stuff haha! Today, everything at this store was $1. I picked up about $8 work of items. One being this wood mallet above. Though it has a big crack down the back of it, I thought aesthetically it was beautiful. As soon as I saw this guy, he literally called to me!       Another very interesting find is this fierce looking werwolf Halloween mask that I found right before I left. Something About the gold & black coloring just really grabbed my attention. This mask, though mad...

How To Find Your Authentic Self

  I hear all too often that people are searching for themselves. The ultimate question is, who am I? What defines me? Which things make me happy? It’s as if we are on this continuous journey of self discovery throughout our lives. Being in my 30’s, I have to admit that I do not know if there is ever an end to this process. The more I go through, the more I grow through.  With that being said, I think it’s important to know what you love. These things will bring you peace in darkness, help you self soothe during grief, and bring sunshine into your day. If you have lost site of what you love or are truly not sure, that is absolutely okay. Do not panic! Most of us have been there.  Things I would recommend to discover what you love:  Pinterest   Look through millions of pictures to find styles, photographs, recipes, etc that look appealing! Save them into files that you can return to later for inspiration. Vision Board   Get a canvas from a thrift store & ...
