I am 31 Today!

Today I turn 31 I can honestly say my 30's are not turning out to be fantastic. I hope that things change a bit. I feel like I haven't accomplished much in my time here. I also tend to think of my birthday as a somber day for me. I am not thrilled about being older but I do get excited about the prospects of the things I want to do. I hope to grow this blog by more followers and readers. I hope to start getting more partnerships and growing my home.

Perfume Review #mypure

I got the pleasure of trying out this perfume. I really wanted a long time to try this out because I can properly review it. I love this bottle for starters it's a simple sleek design and I am able to give myself a nice splash of perfume. Once I opened this perfume I only used it before going to work in the morning it's got a subtle smell of jasmine and amber it's more of a woody scent.

I normally go for perfumes that are more light and not as heavy but what I enjoyed is that it seemed strong at first then melted in to my skin and had more of a softer notes as the day kept going. I love this perfume for the fact that its a change from the citrus scent that I normally have. I would recommend this perfume for a night out with a special someone not really a work perfume but it's perfect for a romantic night out. #fragranceoutlet #mypure

So it's come to the time that my front office will also now be my dressing room. I am not thrilled that I have that many clothes but I am kinda getting giddy about making it my own little room. I hope to sell some more clothing that I don't wear on +Poshmark . Its a big undertaking but I think it can be done a little more cleaning and it will be done.. Stay tuned I am planing to organize the crap out of the room.
