     Hi – it’s been a rough few months and while I do need to catch up on the blog, I also have some other priorities right now. My grandmother passed away on the 3rd of November. We thought we had at least the next few Christmases left with her, but she fell a few months… Read more

    This spring has been really crazy but I’m getting back on schedule with my ordering and products. Becoming more inspired every day there’s some sunshine. The IPSY merger with Boxycharm resulted in some very late deliveries, so I unfortunately had to skip April and jump right to May’s stuff. I’ll probably put some of April’s… Read more

  • Twenty-Five Driving Part 3

    Dani

    The day I drove my car home was slightly chilly. My hometown was starting to gear up for the tourist season and traffic was heavy, but not as heavy as it was about to be the next weekend. My grandparents had pulled the car I was buying from my sister into the main parking lot… Read more

     Hi guys! I have an update on the BoxyCharm situation. If you’re not up to date, here’s a link to my previous review where I talk about why I needed a replacement box:     https://texturedandtrying.blogspot.com/2022/06/boxycharm-june-2022-review.html Yesterday I got my new box, which I was honestly hoping would have some different items in it, but unfortunately… Read more

  • Twenty-Five Driving Part Two

    Dani

    My boyfriend has a disease that causes him a lot of pain and discomfort and inconvenience. Sometimes he would cancel plans because he was in too much pain, or didn’t feel like making the drive down to see me if we had plans.  This man is the most amazing person, and I look up to… Read more

  • Twenty-Five Driving Part One

    Dani

     I got my license when I was twenty-five years old. I got my first learner’s permit, my high school graduation went by, my second learner’s permit, then my marriage, part-time jobs, a move, full-time jobs, a divorce, a new apartment, a new learner’s permit, a pandemic, my first independent apartment, and still no driver’s license.… Read more

     I have been working in retail for over a decade now, and today is the first time I have stood up to a customer in any real sense and denied them service. It’s sad to me that it’s such an intense feeling, because I can remember a lot of times I should have. And I… Read more

  • My Planner and my Stickers and my Colored Pens

    Dani

     I did not have to try very hard in school and never learned how to keep myself organized. Even in classes where I struggled, there was always extra credit, there was always something I could do. But I didn’t challenge myself, it was more just mindless busywork. Lots of words on a page that sounded… Read more

  • Insensitive Skin

    Dani

    , ,

    I have a type of acne called milia. Some people know it as pearl acne, because when they’re extracted instead of being all like … gross … they’re just little pearl-like balls. They’re technically bubbles of keratin that collect underneath layers of the skin but not specifically inside your pores, which means they don’t have… Read more

  • Intro

    Dani

        I’ve struggled with a skin-picking problem since I was tall enough to look over the sink into the bathroom mirror – and I have memories of pulling a chair up to get closer, so it might have started before I can even remember. I thought for a long time that it could be my… Read more
