Important Note: I am having several issues with sponsors this year, that I haven't really had in the past. If you agree to work with me please follow through! I have had 2 sponsors back out so far- one after the item was supposed to have already been on the way (and over a month later I have not received the item OR heard from the company) and the other agreed until asking for my address and then took it back. This has left me with only TWO SPONSORS for this year so far, which really doesn't make a gift guide- but I am very appreciative to the two people who have followed through so far, and hopefully between now and new years I'll secure more sponsors. Thanks So Much, Nichole Hey Everyone! I cannot believe that it is already time for Holiday Gift Guide 2020. The last successful gift guide I had was back in 2017, and involved me doing half of my guide, a sponsored beach vacation with 5 very in depth posts , a mattress review for Nectar and then the rest of my holiday gift … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone Well, I am super sorry I haven't really been keeping up with blogging or social media that much- it just hasn't been on my radar and I really can't even tell you WHY... I know I have had a bit of a burn out with blogging- and it just didn't hold interest with me- which is something that has happened to me before for various reasons, but this time around has been the most crazy- because I DO NOT KNOW WHY it has happened, and it has been for SO LONG! I kind of just have a daily routine and I am telling you I am on the laptop right now, and I can't even tell you the last time I even had it out of the drawer. If I need to do something on the computer I just dash into my "office" (We had just got everything set up in there about the time I decided to kind of slow down a bit- which was about 2 years ago- but .. that was when I slowed down.. not came to a stand still!) I keep the big computer on pretty much all the time, so I just dash in there and do whatever and then get … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone I am SUPER sorry I haven't been blogging lately! I have admitted to being burnt out on reviewing specifically, but apparently i'm in a major case of blog burn out - more than I realized. I mean I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE by any means, and I hope that I can maybe eventually get back into things a little more.. I have some ideas .. and then where we have had all this COVID mess I Havent really got to go couponing (that was some of my content helping me along) It doesn't help crazy stuff keeps happening, and the rain has been off the charts (which makes me not even want to bother with doing anything, let alone blogging!)and then you throw in just life and stuff that needs to be done daily, the ocassional project and then my reading addiction and these crazy eye issues.. and well.. here we are! things have really been crazy the last week or 2- between David having to start working on Saturdays again (hello there 4 a/m!) ... He had a super bad panic attack last Monday … [Read more...]

This post is super brought to you by me having a ton of time on my hands to think about old times lately! I could write more in depth stuff at some point- because that is something I have wanted to bring to the blog, I just haven't because I - I really don't know why but.. you might see more posts that are kind of about the old times and being reflective and such in the near future! When I was younger, I actually was pretty tame by most peoples standards - I think that was because I totally came off as "bookish" and just generally sweet and innocent- I have been told I have a very innocent face before, and have even confessed to certain things and people have thought I was just joking and being silly.  I do tend to be a joking sort of person, and very sarcastic so, I guess I can see that! I think that what most people were the most shocked about, was that I basically had 3 guy "friends" at one time (most people thought that it was basically just a friends sort of … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone So... You aren't going to believe this BUT... I had EYE DRAMA AGAIN! This time it happened on Thursday night in the LEFT eye this time. I just laid here half the night in pain and scared and I never woke David up because I didn't want to worry him- and I kept thinking I was just crazy and that if I could go to sleep everything would be o.k and I didn't think it was going to be anything come the next morning.... I actually wasn't even going to mention it to him , but when he was about to leave I started to have a panic attack about it. I told him to just go ahead to work and that I would call and that if I needed him i'd let him know. We knew that my mom could take me and honestly there isn't anything that he could do, so it wasn't really worth him loosing time at work over. I had a feeling that it was pretty much the same thing that had happened a few weeks ago to the right eye- but maybe in a more concentrated part of my eye... I almost put some of that … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone SO I haven't updated in OVER A MONTH and I SUPER APOLOGIZE! I don't have a good excuse for the majority of the time I didn't update but I do have one for the last several days! I have ANOTHER EYE INJURY !! Can you believe it? It started last Saturday with just a super fuzzy right eye- not the left this time.. and I honestly still question that the fuzzy issue was part of what happened later on because it never was red or super mad even! Anyways I went through this most of the day(I was thinking allergies and whatnot) and then in the middle of the night things took a HORRIBLE PAINFUL TURN and I was up crying and screaming and it was NOT PRETTY. I didn't really know WHAT to do and I knew the emergency room just really wasn't an option for me in a lot of ways- so I kept thinking if I calmed down and slept i'd just sleep it off ..but I woke up a few other times and it had started to TEAR and I knew it just wasn't going to get better on its own any time soon.... I … [Read more...]
