Spring cleaning makes me want to vomit rainbows.

Hey there, internet.

     I recently moved from a tiny, one bedroom apartment, to an infinitely larger apartment. While this may sound like a fantastic thing, it actually has just meant that I have more space to accumulate crap to clean up. In case you were wondering, which I'm sure you were, I am an expert at accumulating crap. Just went to the store and saw some delicious smelling hand sanitizer for $5 for three? Why yes, I will buy six. And those six hand sanitizers will sit on a shelf or floor or in a box or under the bed for months upon months. When I (miraculously) run out of my current hand sanitizer I will have completely forgotten about the SIX other bottles of it that I have sitting somewhere and go out and buy more, which I will inevitably lose and...you see the cycle. When I moved, I just packed all of my crap in boxes willy-nilly and then proceeded to let those boxes sit in the corner of my bedroom for a month and a half while I ran around pulling my hair out looking for stuff. It wasn't pretty. And those boxes are still sitting in the corner of my bedroom completely unopened.

     So, while browsing Pinterest, as I do most days, I came across a spring cleaning checklist. As with most things on Pinterest, I immediately was certain that I HAD to try it and it would make my life FIVE MILLION times easier and better. This list, in it's full glory can be found here. When I looked over it, I was overcome with how ridiculously easy it sounded. Just wipe shit down, right? Make things not dusty, right? Three days later, I am still slowly making my way through it all. While still living my life, which means re-dirtying counters and re-spilling crap in my fridge and having my cats re-poop in their litter boxes every. single. day. After realizing how pointless it all was, I had a moment of being a six year old child again, asking my Mom why exactly I needed to make my bed in the morning when it was JUST GOING TO GET MESSED UP AGAIN THAT NIGHT.

     After my tantrum, I've realized that I'm a happier person when my house is clean. The one room I just finished cleaning is the living room and now I want to hang out in here all day and never set foot in another room. I've got my scent burner going, some light music in the background, and my feet propped up. So while I may turn into an infant child when it comes to cleaning, the end result is more than worth it.

     As for putting up pictures of my new apartment...that may have to wait a while because my digital camera battery is dead and I'm sure the charger is in one of these boxes somewhere...

Blogging?

Hey There, internet.

     My name is Heather and I am an aspiring blogger. I say aspiring because I'm still not entirely sure what this whole blogging thing is all about. Do I do reviews? Do I talk about random stuff? Do I indulge my readers in my personal life? Does anyone even read this?

     So, if you want to follow along with me as I figure out this whole "blogging" thing, I think it will be either a great success story, or, more likely, similar to watching a plan full of puppies crash. Either way, you won't want to look away.

     As of right now, I'm going to be putting product reviews on here as I am part of Birchbox (I get little make-up samples for $10 a month, free shipping, yada, yada) and sometimes I just see cool stuff on Pinterest and try it and it is either a moderate success or a colossal failure. I'll also be putting random musings that may or may not have to do with certain things in my life (my cats, my boyfriend, my utterly worthless Bachelor's degree, etc. etc.). So come with me on this crazy somewhat boring adventure I call, "My blog".
