Repeat Cashmere

This post was written in collaboration with REPEAT Cashmere.  All opinions are 100% mine.

Have you ever felt Cashmere?  It's so wonderfully soft, there's definitely a reason it has the reputation it does.  REPEAT Cashmere is all about indulgence, and while they don't just sell Cashmere-they offer a wide variety of soft and luxurious clothing that will make you feel like you're being wrapped in a big, comforting, warm hug-and who doesn't want to be both stylish and comfortable?  They offer so many styles that vary from casual to dressy, but all have that same enveloping softness that you can find in any of their styles.  They say it feels more like wearing a caress than an article of clothing! 

 Personally I think all of their clothing looks so wonderfully soft and classy.  I can imagine wrapping myself up in that cozy shawl and lounging about with a cup of tea and a book, or slipping on a cozy sweater and going for a crisp morning walk in the park by my house, coffee in hand.  Completely lovely.  It's the type of clothing that leads to daydreaming and thoughts of fireplaces and chilly mornings-which sound perfect to me.

What does all of this softness make you daydream of?

Confession Does the Body Good

What you don't think that confession can help your body?  Well, talking things out helps your mind and your feelings, and if your mind and your feelings aren't well it can totally harm your body.  Swallowing stress is no bueno my friends! C'est mal!  (There I'll use English, Spanish, and French all in once paragraph.) Haha! 

In any case, it's time for the weekly Friday Confessional hosted by Aubrey at High-Heeled Love.

I confess... School is almost out and I could not be happier.  I'm so ready for a nice long summer break to recoup and get back to working on my art-and hopefully reopen my Etsy shop.  Also, free time.  I miss it.

I confess... For the last night of French class my classmates and I decided to bring in food.  We even got our professor involved-she brought Boursin and a baguette.  I picked up these amazing pastries (the Almond Croissants are my FAVORITES) from the amazing Pierre Bakery (which is ALSO my favorite.)

I confess... I also picked up some Macarons.  These are pretty Parisian Macarons, even though Josh told me they don't really eat these a lot in France.  They're... Okay... I think they're supposed to be soft and cake-like on the inside but I've only ever had them really hard and crumbly-probably due to the dry climate here.

I confess... The weather has been stunning this week and work has been slow... Add those things to the hormones we women are cursed with once a month (it's coming... dun dun dun!) and that does not make for a very happy me.  I've spent the week with a mixture of bored out of my mind and crazy emotional overthinking-it's not been pretty.  I need to get OUT of this office-Friday definitely did not come soon enough.

I confess... I'm seeing someone... Again.  I haven't talked about it much because for some reason it feels like talking about it too much will ruin it.  Dating is hard on the heart-especially at first.  You spent a lot of time with what Shawn calls "the icks."  That's the anxiety you get-the kind brought on by wondering what the other person is thinking or feeling, if they want you as much as you want them, if it's going to end badly with an ugly messy cry... Again.  lol.  Now go ahead and combine those feelings with the hormones and cabin fever.  Ouch.

I confess... What I'm really trying to do is to learn to let go.  I'm no good at it.  You see I'm very very very direct and to the point.  I state how I'm feeling, I ovary up and go for things, and you always know where you stand with me.  This certain person?  Not so much.  And that's okay.  I can accept people for who they are and like them anyway. But for a person who is super direct, interacting with someone who isn't can be frustrating (the fault of that on the person who is frustrated).  It's a control thing.  You can't control it.   Christina Perri's song "The Words" says "The scariest part is letting go, 'cause love is a ghost you can't control" and I couldn't agree more.  I just keep reminding myself to breathe and let it be what it's going to be.  That's something that will be easier to feel after Aunt Flo leaves town and my emotions can be my own again.  lol

I confess... But I think it's good.  Things seem different this time.  I'm learning patience and patience is a skill I desperately need to grasp.  It's a hard skill to learn, but one that will definitely be worth it if I just give myself up to it and enjoy the ride.  A ride that is no fun if you're always trying to control it and figure it out and stressing about the end of it.  You have to just be present.  Stay here.  Right here.

Do you have anything to confess?  Tell me!

Influenster UniVoxBox

I received the products in this review from Influenster.  All Opinions are 100% mine.

Pilot Acroball PureWhite: This pen was great!  I enjoy writing with it and it is handy for school! It writes smoothly and I didn't have to worry about shaking it to get the ink to come out or anything.

Playtex Sport Fresh Balance Tampons:  I haven't had the chance to use these yet, but they're in great packaging (discreet and doesn't make too much noise) and they look like they'll be perfect to use.

Red Rose Real Tea Premium Water Enhancers:  I haven't had a chance to try this one yet either, but I need to.  I LOVE tea and the concept in these is awesome!  I should bring it to work with me!

Broadway Nail Impress Press-on Manicure: I haven't tried these, but I don't do press-ons so I can't say I will.

Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Moose Foundation:  While the color seemed a bit light for me, the coverage was awesome and the matte helps keep the shine down throughout the whole day.  

NYC New York Color Expert Last Lip Color: This was my favorite thing int he whole box.  Such a bright and cheery shade of pink and it really did last all day-even through eating and drinking! 

Here I am at the first of the day, and then again about halfway through the day:
