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 ...

Starting Over Is A Messy Process

  When I finally hit a breaking point in my marriage in 2022, I realized I had to separate from my husband.  My mental health was crashing and I didn't know who I was anymore. The only thing that I had an answer too was that it was over. The impact of that decision was exhausting, stressful, and defeating. There had been no plan set in place to protect or guide me through the process of completely starting over. Thankfully, I was born incredibly loud and stubborn. Little did I know, this would be my most valuable resource in times of completely restructuring my life.  Could there have been a plan? Or, a large savings account awaiting my departure? Absolutely. But there wasn't. I'm a believer that it is impossible to prepare for everything.  Especially, extremely painful moments & choices. I do not discredit the importance of planning. If I could go back and talk to my younger self, I would have planned around a lot of the experiences I ended up going through. We...
