My Move Into Minimalism Update 02: Project Pan Endeavor

   I know it's been at least a month since I last posted anything to the blog. Again. It's been difficult to give a lot of attention to the blog when I work so much later in the day than I used to. There just never seems to be enough down time for my hobbies anymore.

   In the last few months, I've really been working on moving unneeded, less-loved material things from my possession. I wrote quite a bit more about it in a previous post, and I just wanted to talk a little bit about the progress I've made and what some of my goals are now. This is quite a long-winded post, so prepare yourself.

Boxycharm 11.15

   So I've been negligent in sharing what I've been receiving in my Boxycharm the last couple of months. Honestly, I have been going back and forth trying to decide whether I should keep my subscription to Boxycharm or if I should cancel it. I've been talking so much here on my blog about trying to minimize the amount of things I own, and it just feels as though having a monthly subscription box packed with products that I don't necessarily need to own or even wish to own seems counter-intuitive to that decision. So I may very soon be cancelling my subscription to Boxycharm. 

   We shall see. As for now, I just received this month's box in the mail today, so I thought I'd share what it included and my initial thoughts on the products. 

On the Darkside

   I have always found it humorous that darker colors are viewed as more "appropriate" or easier to wear during autumn, especially because I love wearing darker, richly saturated colors year round. I am always happy to wear a bold lip color, nearly black nails, and deep red eyeshadows at any time of year. However, there is something really fun about pairing it all together during the autumn. So I thought I'd share my most loved and new-found loved products/colors that I'll be turning to this autumn and winter.

September and October Favorites

   It's been far too long since my last post. Even though I haven't been very active here on the blog, I've been trying out some new things and rekindling my love for long-time favorite items. So without any further ado, here a my favorite things from the months of September and October. 

Good-Bye to You 02: Skincare Edition (and a little makeup)

   It's been quite a while since I posted another edition of Good-Bye to You; where we take a look at all my trash and I give some wordy opinion on each product. I probably won't be so wordy this time around, because nobody has time for that. Am I right?

Let's dig in...

One-Liner Wednesday 013

   I know. I know.

   I have been the worst at posting lately and I feel so bad about it, but I've been swamped with work and other responsibilities. I haven't had a great deal of extra time to edit and post frequently. I realized today that I haven't posted any funny kid quotes over the whole summer and I have so, so many that I've collected. So it's time to share! (As always, the names have been changed)


"I'm gonna catch a hermit person. And they're gonna live in my house. I can't wait to catch my first hermit person." -Dale, 2nd grade

"This is no time to eat breakfast inside!" -Ray, 2nd grade

"You sound like a little rat." -Katy, 2nd grade

"Like when your sister dresses up really nice for a party." -Me
"No, she dresses ugly." -Seth
"That's not very nice to say." -Me
"But she does dress ugly!" -Seth, 2nd grade

"But I'm not an awesome summer girl with a hat, like you!" -Lizzy, 3rd grade

"Everyday I'm smelling something different!" -Brandon, 1st grade

Till next time guys!

Love, Little Mouse
