Blog Birthday!

What? This little blog has been in existence for a year? Really? Doesn't seem possible. What started out as a silly little idea has become such a fun and liberating outlet for me. I officially put up my first post in mid-April of 2013 but really had no idea what I was planning to do with my little space of internet. It wasn't until the first Six Ways post (at the end of April) that I finally felt like I had a vision for this undertaking. Thanks to Holly for taking a risk with me and being such an awesome partner in crime. Holly is moving away back to her home town and will be missed in person and on this little blog. I sure hope she is able to pop in now and again.

So--what will this all look like in year two? I hope to keep showing how I make affordable fashion and outfit choices and I pray that a few of you stick around to share what you think too! I am hoping to add a few new contributors to the blog so we can offer a bit more content, a bit more often. Thanks a TON for your support this first year. It has been such a trip! Please let us know what you would like to see more of!

Birthday Wish List!

I may or may not be celebrating a birthday in the next few days and I thought I would share a couple of items that I would love to see all wrapped up! I really do not spend much money on beauty products day to day so I often save a few items that I really want for my birthdays and holidays. If we can't splurge on ourselves a little bit for getting through another year then..well... A few of these items are a bit on the spendy side and may have to be a gift that covers my birthday, Christmas, and maybe an anniversary or two...or three. It's up to you honey!(You know I would be perfectly happy with a night out with some friends and family too!)

1. NAKED 2 palette: I am a die hard fan of the original Naked palette and have wanted the 2nd version for over a year. I bought it for my oldest daughter and she adores it. My turn!

2. Clarisonic Mia 2: Man I have seen tons of reviews for these facial cleansers. Some are stellar and some are not so stellar. I really would like to try it out for myself. I love my sonic toothbrush so....

3. Hoola Bronzer by Benefit: Many of my Youtube gals love this non-orange, good for all skin shades bronzer. I must tell you that I get very "Minnesota white" real quick here and will be needing some fake bronzing STAT!

4. Michael Kors watch: This is a doosey. These watches are Gorgeous with a capital G and Expensive with a capital E. Normally I am a total knock-off-but-still-looks-like-it kind of girl, but these watches are just stunning. We have a Michael Kors outlet nearby and I have already snuck a peek.
