Planner Haul: Erin Condren, Scribble Prints Co, Hello Paper Cat, Planner Penny, Trippin Stitches

Planner Haul!


So - I've been hoarding a few planner items that I've ordered from Erin Condren, Scribble Prints Co, Hello Paper Cat, Planner Penny, and Trippin Stitches.  Please note - I didn't buy this stuff all at once. It's a haul that encompasses a few months of buying and hoarding.


Erin condren had her buy one get one planner cover sale - and of course I just HAD to indulge myself. I did buy 4 - but one is already on my planner because skulls and Halloween. The first one is the Cactus cover, the second is the Watercolor Floral, third being the Blossom cover. The fourth one I got is Sugar Skull cover - here it is on my planner:

I found Trippin Stitches through a facebook group - and her covers are so freakin cute. I had a coupon code and decided to pick up these two. It was end of summer and I couldn't help myself. I love the scales, the colors, and the beachy-ness of it all. 


I snagged this Witch Ultimate Kit during the preorder phase from Scribble Prints Co. I went a little nuts with the Halloween kits for October. This has def got to be one of my favorite kits though - and it's my first step into glossy territory because I've always been a matte girl myself. We'll see how October goes and I'll def be using this kit A LOT.


These adorable magnetic bookmarks and personal sized dashboards are from Hello Paper Cat. Just a little unknown fact about me: I'm a big 'ol nerd. No, seriously you didn't know? Anyway, I saw the Sailor Moon compact magnet somewhere on her Instagram and ended up perusing the website and buying more stuff that I probably didn't need. The magnets I bought are the Sailor Moon Compact, D.Va from Overwatch, Lon Lon Ranch Milk (from Zelda), Steven Universe, and a cute little alpaca. 


Then I had to pick up some personal sized dashboards with D.Va and Steven because I've got a small personal sized recollections that's just dying to be used next year.

First Day of Autumn

First Day of Autumn


Today is the first official day of Autumn - and Pumpkin spice everything is already in full effect. Also with the first day of autumn means HALLOWEEN. Because really, as soon as it turned September I was already thinking about it.

Things I'm totally looking forward to:
  • Halloween (duh!)
  • Berry lipsticks
  • Being able to wear a sweater and not sweat to death.
  • Boots (all the boots!)
  • The baking I'm about to do
  • Thanksgiving (that still counts as autumn, right?)
  • Cute plaid
  • Hot chocolate
  • Fuzzy blankets and warm cuddles
Honestly though, it doesn't even start to feel even remotely like fall until like November here. I'll probably still be wearing tank tops in December. (Winter, whats that?) But here I am, snuggled under a blanket with my puppy, sipping some hot chocolate, planning which purple metallic lip I want to wear tomorrow. It's the little things everyone - the little things.

Hello Wench - A Life Update

Let's sit down for some coffee - shall we?


The past few months have been an absolute roller coaster for me - and I am exhausted. Travelling to Japan was one of the absolute best experiences in my entire life. It will be a moment I will always cherish and I look upon those two weeks with such fondness I don't even know how to explain it. I have so many blog posts planned around this trip - but I also have 800+ photos to sort through and edit. Don't worry, it's coming. Posts will also resume back on the regular schedule of twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday.

In case you DON'T know who I am, I'm the ONLY official regular host of the Friday night #bdibNA chat. Which is seriously difficult to host on Friday because well, it's Friday. But chats will start coming back in regular rotation once I get back on my schedule. I really didn't realize it was going to take almost a month to get back into the swing of things. Which is probably an error on my part.

Other than that I am honestly making an effort into being the best version of myself possible and making strides in being more confident than ever. Thanks for spending some time with me!
