Happy June!!!

Hi Everyone!!!! I know I skipped May’s message. I had it drafted and ready to publish, but so much was happening I never had time to get the message just right. Anyways, let me get you all up to speed. April and May read like a horoscope for me, I have been so blessed and busy it is beyond me. I signed a new client, celebrated a birthday, and have been introduced to a whole new network of people that are fabulous. That also accounts for why my posts have been so sporadic lately, but I promise to make up for it.

Even with all the good, I have been plagued with minor fits of anxiety. I don’t know why. I initially thought it was because of my Bday, but since that has passed, I think I am just excited with anticipation of success that I visualize daily. You all really have to read “The Secret” to understand what I’m talking about. Luckily I can deal with it, but constantly feeling like you’re expecting something (good or bad) can get annoying.

I kept spending to a minimum the past two months and in total only purchased 5 new clothing items, and no new beauty products. Speaking of beauty products, I am on a ban (other than white strips, if you consider that a beauty purchase). My makeup drawer is beyond ridiculous. See:

And that is just the stuff I “supposedly” use most often. I’m going to make Palettes for all of the e/s and put them away. I don’t wear e/s on a daily basis. In fact I only use around 6 products regularly (foundation or powder, eyebrow pencil, eye liner, blush, mascara, fix + spray) so there is no need for all the stuff.

As far as shopping for June, I’m on a ban from spending my money. I got enough gifts and gift cards to hold me over. The one must get on this list is a pair of flats and summer tops. I got a few questions via email about budgeting for fashion, and I will likely get a post out for it soon.  So, that is all for now. I leave you with the newest addition to my workout playlist:
