Happy Thursday! Tis the Season to give. Nothing feels better than finding or making the perfect gift for that special person in your life. Above are some great finds that are sure to please, yet won't break your budget. I think I shall do all my holiday shopping today, because if I wait any longer there will be nothing left on the shelves! Have yourself a Merry Thursday!

P.S. Pray for me as I continue my job hunt for the perfect part-time therapy position at a local agency. Ideally, I would love to continue building my practice while also working for a non-profit. Later today I will be nestled up at a coffee shop sipping chai tea while filling out job applications after knocking out my holiday shopping. *Fingers crossed*

Bright Bags for Spring

I hope your Thursday is off to a great start! Above is a little collage I created. Can you tell I'm a bit excited for Spring?

I'm someone who uses the same bag over and over...Probably because I am just too lazy to transfer all the content from one bag to the next. Lately, I've been thinking it's time for a bright change to get me in the Spring-time mood; So, I am on the market for a new tote bag for school, and perhaps a new clutch or shoulder bag for the weekends.

Many of the above bags are pretty affordable, but you know me, I like things CHEAP...So, I will attempt to find similar bags on discount. If not, I will just purchase one for regular price. 

Hi, ho, hi, ho, off to the thrift store I go!

Kate Spade pocket bag, $78
