How on earth did I forget to post a comment on this? First of all THANK YOU~ for the link and I was so happy when I saw I inspired you on this. It makes me excited to see people organizing. haha!

That armoire is absolutely amazing by the way... I love the Tiffany blue on the inside and how much space it offers. Love how you used those organizer inserts too. And of course the jewelry isn't bad either... I'm dying over those gorgeous rings! I definitely have a thing for rings.

Exactly, I upload pictures and there lost somewhere within the hundreds of folders I have! I need to start developing more. Like you, I'm going to make it my goal next year to take more pictures and actually do things with them. Thank you so much for sharing that link, will check it out!!

Yes, I agree. Especially when I sit down with my mom's albums! So I'm now inspired to make my own.

As far as ebooks, I found that the comfort of holding the tablet and using the finger flipping to turn the page gives you the same "comfort" feeling over time. I used the think the same way, but I've come to love curling up with my iPad to read. :)

Thanks for the comment!

Thanks, Alix! I have the same type of nails -- soft and constantly peel. I don't know if it's because I'm a vegetarian and don't get tons of protein? But I do take vitamins... It's a mystery to me. haha.

It gets better with practice! This is definitely a great polish to experiment with. Also, nude colors are so much more forgiving if you make a mistake. That's why I love them!

Yeah I've heard that about Boxing Day. Of course, Americans have to take things to a ridiculous level... I've heard Black Friday is actually spreading around to Europe and Canada as well. Yikes! But like you said, probably the bad economy because there are actually really good deals if you focus!

I think we've all definitely been there... And I didn't want to live with less. But after forcing to do it after college, I'm super thankful for the money I have now and living below my means has definitely allowed me to feel security, which is worth not having the latest gadget, car, or outfit. Josh and I want to buy our first house after we get married in a year or so, so saving is hugely important for us right now!

I'm allergic to certain metals too... Mostly the cheap stuff. I have many a times bought a cute ring gotten a rash on my finger. On the plus side, I'm forced to buy good quality...! I've actually seen some pictures of gold and silver with similar hues mixed and it looks amazing. So it's definitely possible to pull it off!

I'm going on that adventure next year...! Wish me luck. haha

We do have a lot in common! Haha. I'm so glad you commented because I love talking about minimalistic/eco-conscious topics. :)

I have thick, wavy hair so short hair was a nightmare on me too. I mean don't get me wrong, I looked great once I styled it, but every morning I woke up my hair was curling in all the wrong places. Long hair puts weight onto my waves and loosens them, so I can just wake up in the morning, put in some serum, and head out with wavy hair. I've been trimming my own hair too! I haven't had it cut professionally in about 7 months, but I'm at the point where my layers are all different lengths and I need help getting them proper again. So I just booked an appointment today! Have to be strict and tell them not to touch my bottom layer... As far as dying, I learned that the hard way this year. I had virgin hair up until May, when I suddenly decided to dye it every color under the sun until October, when I finally stopped after realizing the damage I'd done. Now I'm on the long road to recovery... I miss my healthy hair!

My mother is the same. :) Healthy skin looks best over makeup. (And most guys will agree!) I wish I had the gall to go into work without makeup on but I haven't done it yet. I have to meet with clients and I feel more presentable if I go with makeup. I also hate foundation... I only wear it for special events where photos are involved. Otherwise I'm all over tinted moisturizer! You're right on the money with Final Fantasy... Now that I think of it, all the main girls are shown looking radiant with next to nothing in terms of having makeup on. They were just healthy, glowing, and effortless.

I'm at the point in my life with clothing where I'm learning what my style is. I've finally found it at this point, so my wardrobe is SLOWLY going through an overhaul. I do the same thing you do with doubles -- if I find something better but looks similar to something I have, I donate the other one. I love your style. :) My style is definitely essentials with a soft/feminine touch. It's good to know what you're drawn too instead of being confused with how to style outfits. I'm so glad I figured out what I like!

On the money again with accessories... I only wear my special stuff. And of course, the engagement ring is an every day piece. ;) haha

I just invested in a good pair of brown heeled boots, so again I'm totally with you on quality over quantity! I'm willing to spend the money if I know it'll be used very frequently and it's going to last a long time. I do the same with bags. My current one is broken and needs to be switched out! My bags tend to get very banged up, so I also avoid designer. Everyone where I live owns designer, and although my mother gave me her old Coach bag I keep it in the closet. I know it will get rubbed on my jeans, dropped on the floor, ripped at the zipper, etc. My bags have to be disposable...

LOVED your comment!!! Thank you. :)
