jetpens haul and review - handlettering and bullet journal supplies

I have been a shameless pen collector all my life. I have boxes upon boxes of pens that probably don't even work anymore, yet I can't shame myself into throwing them away. Such is life for a stationery aficionado.

A small portion of my pen collection... Trust me, there is plenty more. This is just what's readily accessible at my desk.

That being said, Jetpens.com became a blip in my radar recently and I wanted to give them a shot. Usually I do all my pen shopping in-person (hell-ooooo, who can resist doodling on those test paper pads in Staples? Not I!), but for free shipping over $25 (it is easy peasy to do that, trust me) I thought JetPen might be a great option to try things less readily accessible.

These opinions are all my own, I bought these with my own money, yada yada yada. I've also ranked them from "MOST FAVORITE EVER!!!!" to "meh, alright" for your browsing pleasure. Enjoy!

the esteé edit review - metallishadow créme + powder, inside track eye kajal... and more!

Influenster was kind enough to send me these products in conjunction with The Esteé Edit. I had recently heard about the new line launching (and seen it at Sephora), but didn't pay any mind to the products since most of the line were things I already had plenty of. Though I will not pass up a free offer! The retail value for the package sent was way over any amount that I usually spend at Sephora, so receiving this was a nice treat. My honest first impressions are below! If any product strikes me as special, I'll be sure to do a follow-up post on it.

bath & body works [fall haul + coupon breakdown] and goodwill

I got wind of a B&BW sale this weekend and just couldn't hold back. I have had a few 3 wick candles in my online shopping cart for a while now, but I would not allow myself to purchase unless they were <$10 (the price they were when I first started buying their candles about 4 or so years ago). I can practically hear my mom rolling her eyes about my ever-expanding candle collection (hi mom!) but I just can't resist a good deal on these smells! I can't!

I ended up getting a bunch! Keep reading to see how I spaced out my purchase to get the maximum savings...
