I'm A Horrible Blogger!!!

Hey girls! Okay, so I wanted to post a "where have I been" post first, but I got so caught up in the Sephora samples, a the Smashbox review, and the Sephora tote freebie that I brushed that post aside. Let me just tell you, I have about a million things to post about! So many new products and so many new reviews and so many new sales and coupon codes! I have been so busy in the non-internet world that I have neglected this blog. It's horrible of me I know. As I posted in June, I took a class this summer that ran through the middle of July. Following that horrible 4 HOUR FINAL EXAM, I took a 10 day vacation. It was an absolutely wonderful road trip from Chicago down through a majority of the Southern states. So much fun.

When I got back, my Sweetie and I got serious about actually purchasing a home instead of throwing money away on rent and found a home that we love and bought it. It's new construction in the Chicago suburbs. I know, I know...How can I leave the city??? I am so sad about leaving downtown Chicago, but am so happy to be getting a house with three bedrooms and tons of space. I dream about the closet space I'm going to have! The house isn't completed yet, so I've been running around dealing with the design center about final finishes and what not. On top of it, although our house won't be ready until probably the end of September, our lease on our apartment is up this month. My Sweetie and I will be moving in with my parents until the house is completed. So I am currently trying to pack up all of our stuff; trying to sort out what can be put into storage and what we will need while camping out at my parents. Girls from Chicago and other cities with changing seasons know that September can be filled with 90 plus degree days one week and freezing cold rainy days the next. Trying to pull out clothes that cover all of the possibilities is not that easy.

So that's how I've been spending most of my time away from the internet! On top of everything, I start my final year of grad school (YAY! YAY! YAY!) on Monday. So on top of everything else I'll have to start doing the dreaded homework again too. But girls, you have my word, I am so going to start posting regularly again! Thanks for everyone who has emailed and left comments asking where I've been and inquiring as to if I'm okay. You are all so kind. I am so glad that you enjoy my ramblings and humble opinions! Back to packing for a little while, but then I'm coming back with another post!
