It’s been nearly 5 years since I started this blog. I’ve given it enough time, attention and dedication, and the growth I’ve experienced proved to me that it’s not worth continuing the way I’ve been blogging.
A (Big) Little Update
By the end of last year I was able to come up with a pretty consistent posting schedule. Then it all came to a halt. What happened?
I got pregnant.
So here’s why I’ve been gone for a bit.
2021, My Low Buy Year
I’m not a minimalist. Nor do I aim to be. But 2020 was such a year of indulgence when it came to online shopping for me, that I feel like I need to take a step back and refrain my consumerism.
Basically, I’m so full of stuff I need a shopping diet.
guilty pleasures.
I’m admitting to them, so you can’t hold them against me. That’s how that works… right?
10 Lessons I Learned With 100 Blog Posts
Time flies when you’re over 25. Years, not posts. I started this blog two years ago and it feels like it was 3 months ago, max. The past post was my 100th. Even though I feel like I haven’t learned all that much, after 100 pages of content, I must have some lessons learned, right?
Here’s a list of 10:
Makeup Tag Week 2020! Day 1 – If I Had 1000$ to Spend at Sephora
If I had 1000$ to spend on whatever I wanted, I would probably buy shoes – but Sephora doesn’t sell those, so makeup it is. I’ll limit myself to the portuguese Sephora website, and I’ll also stick with the 1000$, that is about 841 euros.
You’ll be surprised at the amount of stuff I would get.
Quarantine is turning me into Schrödinger’s Cat.
I know that’s not the picture of a cat, but I couldn’t find a royalty free scowl that was that representative of my state of mind, so you’ll have to deal with the owl.
I’m a level-headed, reasonable, logical person who is guided by facts and facts alone. So you might wonder how come I’m starting to get affected by the covid quarantine 2 months after it ended.
Well, because f*ck logic. Nothing makes sense anymore.
15 (politically incorrect) Lessons I Learned in 30 Years of Life
1. The fact that forgiveness is the key to happiness doesn’t mean revenge doesn’t feel good.

3. You’ll never know what tomorrow will bring, but try to guess.
My wedding dress was taken hostage – part two.
In case you haven’t read the first part of this story, I’ll start with the same disclaimer: this is not a joke. This actually happened to me.
If you haven’t, go read that first post. It’s important for context and I’m 100% sure that you will laugh at my misery. It’s ok. I would if I was you.
