May Collective Vintage Haul














    Hey everyone, this is kinda rare, but I'm back with a second post this week! I thought I should probably post this now, before it all became irrelevant, and because I didn't want you all to think I forgot about you all. Although I may not post much, this blog is on my mind 24/7! I just want you all to remember I can get sort of busy, and though I may not be the most active online, I will never forget about you all. Also if you guys could send some good vibes my way this week, I have cheer tryouts and I'm only freaking out like A LOT! Anyways, I've really gotten off topic.

    So this month I've picked up a few small antique-y things throughout May. My first haul comes from a local antique show. From one booth I picked  up one of the best albums in musical history- Carol King Tapestry- for only $4. I am so in love with this, I have played this record over 1,000,000 times so far. At another booth at the same show, I picked up two little antique jewelry box things for one dollar a piece! These are great for storing some of my most used makeup and jewelry. But they are honestly so cute and just what I have been looking for. Lastly, at a local garage sale, I picked up this little bird plaque painting thingie for a dollar. I don't really know why, but I just thought it was so cute and I needed to buy it.

    That's it for now, I just thought I would share a couple things to keep you all updated. School is almost over for me (18 more days woop woop) so that means you can all be expecting more posts during the summer. I might be a little busy with cheer (if I make it) but I will be sure to make time for this blog. Until next time, I love you all. Have a great day!
Love,
Theresa

I'm a Vegan...


    Okay, this is something I have wanted to share since I started it, but I have to admit I was very nervous. I am a vegan. I have been for 2 weeks today. I don't want to get into this too much, because I know that a lot of vegans get hate on the Internet, but I wanted to share this new part of my life with you all. I am not an expert, so I cannot tell you specific health and environmental facts about veganism, but facts aside, veganism is the right move for me. I definitely encourage anyone who is considering being vegan to just go for it, because becoming a vegan is one of the best moves I have ever made.

    If you all want to learn more about veganism, I can make more posts about it in the future. Until then I want to share with you some of the people and things that inspired me to go vegan. One you tuber who has made such a big difference in the online vegan community is Freelee the Banana Girl. She is probably one of the first vegan influences I ever had because I has occasionally watched a few of her videos over the years. I also got some inspiration from The Vintage Vegans. I loved their blog OHEMV, for all of it's vintage fashion content, and when the made the switch to vegan, they inspired me to do the same.  If any of you are interested in watching a good documentary about the animal agriculture business and veganism,  definitely watch cowspiaracy or forks over knives, which are both available on Netflix.

    So yeah, that's what has been going on with me. I was debating weather to publish this or not, but I decided to because I truly enjoy sharing my life with you all. I hope this post maybe inspired you a little, or at least made you think. If you guys like these kinds of posts make sure to tell my via social media (click on the icons to the left) or by email. Thanks for reading, and stay on the look out for another post very soon!
Love,
Theresa
