I have moved since my last post and have been very busy with my planner sticker Etsy shop, <a href="http://whimsicalplans.com/" target="_blank">Whimsical Plans</a>! I haven't stopped playing with makeup and indie makeup in the interim, and I've been wanting to come back and write some smaller review posts. I had a few favorites from April I also wanted to share, so here I am! I can't say if I will be posting regularly, or even irregularly, but I do want to try to post when the mood strikes. I have a different lighting set up, and I will preface this review by saying I am not going to be doing swatches. I know that sucks, but if I just don't have the time or the place to do swatches, so I am sorry. I have been really into perfume these past few months, so I have been thinking about doing some one-off indie perfume reviews. Let me know in the comments if that's something you'd like to see!</span><br> <div> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here are my favorites for April, in no particular order!</span><br> <div> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3aaWxmc9sHTrQ_K5mkoMQthe7HKHJQc8lGgh_bfja6P4wAn_rasrFsLug0PlMW-Lmp2WbI1oDGN5IRFuefwVQq0Q2vZGBlHhAYLA0Na0g_9VgYO76-VRgubjMYkO_v1No2ERAdWyo6JuE/s1600/IMG_2388.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3aaWxmc9sHTrQ_K5mkoMQthe7HKHJQc8lGgh_bfja6P4wAn_rasrFsLug0PlMW-Lmp2WbI1oDGN5IRFuefwVQq0Q2vZGBlHhAYLA0Na0g_9VgYO76-VRgubjMYkO_v1No2ERAdWyo6JuE/s640/IMG_2388.jpg" width="594"></a></div> <br> </div><a href="http://www.evolutionofafoodie.com/2016/05/april-2016-favorites.html#more">Continue reading >></a>http://www.evolutionofafoodie.com/2016/05/april-2016-favorites.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1952318069429821300.post-9218410841668777048Mon, 14 Sep 2015 18:45:00 +00002015-09-14T14:25:22.786-07:00erin condrenplannerwhimsical plansWhimsical Plans Announcement<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hi everyone! I have kind of a special announcement for today's post, I've been keeping a bit of a secret from you all. Most of the time I haven't been making blog posts regularly, I've been working on starting my own Etsy shop, called <a href="http://whimsicalplans.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Whimsical Plans</a>. I've been hard at work designing and creating planner stickers. You may remember my Planner Wednesdays posts, and this is the reason why I won't be doing those any more. Because I'm making my own planner stickers! I've posted a few of my listings below and some links. I hope those of you who enjoyed my planner posts will check out </span><a href="http://whimsicalplans.etsy.com/" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank">Whimsical Plans</a><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">!</span><br /> <div> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm hoping to have new releases every Friday, and holiday kits will be available soon. I am currently at a stated 3-5 day turnaround time, but most orders are being shipped sooner than that. And the <a href="https://instagram.com/whimsicalplans/" target="_blank">Whimsical Plans Instagram</a> will have exclusive discount codes, new release announcements, and other info. You can also find the shop on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WhimsicalPlansShop" target="_blank">Facebook</a>. </span><br /> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXt0dOvhBIk-OGd6eoc-etcoxI7y0q4ShO6QmxbdeDKb8PNY1vXxaPI5dzQRFMUYd6OuSsQsViAYgEM_StF_5EtsucA6_oAe-bwCigo0FnWGgSyV3KnGIkTXe66HfwQ9ddzTxTUtcWnuzF/s1600/IMG_0458_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXt0dOvhBIk-OGd6eoc-etcoxI7y0q4ShO6QmxbdeDKb8PNY1vXxaPI5dzQRFMUYd6OuSsQsViAYgEM_StF_5EtsucA6_oAe-bwCigo0FnWGgSyV3KnGIkTXe66HfwQ9ddzTxTUtcWnuzF/s400/IMG_0458_2.jpg" width="327" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvGLW-VsQYS-AWnjsXMY7PwXOVU187Hy5t5HIBxpTvoI3tjBs8MsIgqfJfFJ4vRsDC0xHqSXuFWmG4Ct0NdXGhL4qAxAjqYa4avlLs98rToO7XwQo-7gcJxLLVc7VfFrVZ8Z6ORPmzTfdP/s1600/Vintage+Exclusive+Sampler.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvGLW-VsQYS-AWnjsXMY7PwXOVU187Hy5t5HIBxpTvoI3tjBs8MsIgqfJfFJ4vRsDC0xHqSXuFWmG4Ct0NdXGhL4qAxAjqYa4avlLs98rToO7XwQo-7gcJxLLVc7VfFrVZ8Z6ORPmzTfdP/s400/Vintage+Exclusive+Sampler.jpg" width="297" /></a></div> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am also including one of these exclusive sampler sheets with any order $15+!

I've had a busy month, so had to take a little break from blog posts for a bit. If you saw my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/evolutionofafoodie" target="_blank">Facebook</a> post, you know I'm hoping to get back into the semi-regular post groove this month. It definitely won't be as frequent as I was doing, and I have canceled some of my indie subscriptions. Not for any other reason other than I was just not as excited about a few of them, and they were the ones that are pretty easy to sign back up for. And honestly, I don't even know if I'll be able to review all of my subscriptions like I was, so just a heads up.</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now to my favorites for August! Despite not writing reviews, I did actually wear makeup and perfume quite a bit. For some reason, traveling actually makes me wear my makeup everyday because I know I'll be going out and about, and I have a bit more time in the morning to do it each day. I tried a bunch of my products I had purchased before going on a strict no-buy, and I'm already working on my September favorites list. Also, I need to majorly destash! I'm planning on getting a sell post up on the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Indiemakeupandmore/" target="_blank">Indie Makeup And More</a> subreddit this Sunday, so if you are there look out for that. It will be a lot of duplicates I have, tons of bath and body, eyeshadow, and perfume.</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ9mVq31xlmIouWK9RjCWHsIwwFIKd3Qk4uZRmvh_6V2QB1u1RS6NRX2-ioh78wAcJcJBadp-AZ57VaUojrPpFptfu0LdKqiMmpIr0JPtvjGCm95WZEOqzdfUB45lRUgUFUvYSYyXfq4lO/s1600/August+Favorites.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ9mVq31xlmIouWK9RjCWHsIwwFIKd3Qk4uZRmvh_6V2QB1u1RS6NRX2-ioh78wAcJcJBadp-AZ57VaUojrPpFptfu0LdKqiMmpIr0JPtvjGCm95WZEOqzdfUB45lRUgUFUvYSYyXfq4lO/s640/August+Favorites.jpg" width="640"></a></div> <a href="http://www.evolutionofafoodie.com/2015/09/august-2015-favorites.html#more">Continue reading >></a>http://www.evolutionofafoodie.com/2015/09/august-2015-favorites.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1952318069429821300.post-4735329868561181539Thu, 06 Aug 2015 20:31:00 +00002015-08-06T13:36:35.291-07:00afk cosmeticsarcanaaromaleighfavoritesfuture primitiveglamour doll eyeshaus of gloipurebessskinfoodJuly 2015 Favorites<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm a bit late on my July Favorites, but I had some great products this month that I just had to share! I've been slowing my roll on buying up all the things lately, got to save for some trips and other fun things coming up. And I've just been feeling unmotivated to get blog posts done. :( I'm just trying not to beat myself up too much if I don't get done what I wanted to get done, and just focus on getting done what I can. Sorry if you've been wondering what happened to the almost daily posts, but I just have other things that I need/want to do. You know, life stuff!
