the official blog sale post! *ON HIATUS*

**UPDATE: Due to current weather conditions in Chicago (and the fact that I am no longer driving), I will not be making any trips to the post office in the near future. When weather improves, I will be able to ship items again, and will probably add new items to this post as well. Thanks for understanding!**

Yes, it's blog sale time again! In other words, time to purge the overflowing stash. >_< 

All used/swatched lipsticks will be wiped clean before shipping. Further disinfecting is at the buyer's discretion.

If an item's box is shown in the photo, the box will be included.

ALL ITEMS HAVE BEEN USED/SWATCHED 1-2 TIMES UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED.

If you are interested in anything, please CONTACT ME by e-mail @ jewel1996@aol.com. In the initial e-mail message, please include the item(s) you would like along with your full name and shipping address. I will reply promptly with the total and my paypal information.

Payments must be received within 24 hrs from when my response e-mail is sent. If I do not receive payment for an item(s) by the 24-hour mark, it/they will be taken off hold.  Please note: I WILL NOT SHIP ORDERS UNDER $10. (I no longer have a car, and it's not worth the effort!)

my life via instagram, pt. II

Hi all! Sorry I've been utter crap about updating my blog. I don't have a lot of time (when I'm not exhausted) during my week, and lately when I have had some time I've been posting on Instagram, Twitter, or trying to make videos for Youtube. I did also have a teeth-cleaning appointment on one of my days off last week, does that count as an excuse? ;) Anyways, to sum it up, sorry for my slacking. I know not everyone has Instagram, or follows me on Twitter, so I'm going to continue to do these "my life via instagram" posts on a somewhat-regular basis. Hope you enjoy! :)

By the way, I'm going to be having another blog sale very soon! It should be up by Sunday, so keep your eyes peeled if you're interested. :) I'll also tweet about it before it goes live.

On with the show! (heh, I wrote "shoe" first.)

face again, this time wearing chanel sable rose.

Like I said, I hope you enjoy these photo-heavy posts. And if you would like to see more of me (God help you), you can also find me on Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram (duh... *see title of post*). My Instagram name is dontcallmejesse (same as my Twitter username) if you'd like to find me there.

I've posted four videos in the past week, but here's the most recent one (filmed the same day that the last photo was taken) if you care to watch me being a dork whilst doing the 10 Little Secrets Tag:

Thanks so much for reading (and watching, and following, and any and all of the awesome things you guys do!). Love you guys!

my life via instagram

I've been having so much fun with Instagram since I finally was able to download the app a few weeks ago (yay for Android phone users!). I thought it'd be fun to share with you some of my favorite uploads so far. I love seeing the weekly update posts so many other fabulous ladies do featuring their Instagram photos - perhaps I'll start doing the same, too. Also, if anyone knows if there's maybe a secret folder in my phone containing larger versions of these files, please clue me in! These are as big as I could post them without them going grainy. Oh well, on with the show.  

Enjoy the pics!

having a nice bath <3

yum.

a new favorite children's book.

Oh, I should probably mention my Instagram username is "dontcallmejesse" - same as my name on Twitter. So you can find me there if you'd like to see more photos (especially Sammy & Mouse pics) as I post them. :)

I'm uploading a face/outfit/chatty video to my Youtube channel as we speak, and I have a haul video in the works as well.  When the haul video goes up, I should have a correlating post with swatches and whatnot to share as well. :) Yay for frivolous spending!

As always, thank you for reading. You are all lovely beyond words!

xoxo,

<3 Jess
