if your 8 year old self met you, would they be proud?

inspiration.

somedays, we just need a little inspiration.

cancelled.

That moment.

When you are (for once in your life existence) on time for class. You walk up to the door.

The lights are out. The door is shut. The seats are all empty.

Did you make a time mistake? You check the time. Nope.

You call your classmate to see where she is.

She answers, grogily. You ask her where she is.

And then she says it. And your heart stops beating.

There is so much more I could've done. Why didn't I remember?

Class was cancelled. And I am the idiot that forgot.

So now I'm trying to look busy in the library, but there is only so much a girl can do...

Enjoy my favorite song for the moment. I'll probably end up listening to it 10 more times before my next class begins.

Oh, and happy weekend!

november.

Today is the first day of November. I have a lot to be thankful for, and November is the month of thankful-ness... Right?

So on November 1st... at 1:47 in the morning...

I'm thankful for   warmth. true love. family. homecomings. old music and the memories it brings. happy tears. a good children's book. health. time to write + time to think. time in general. grace potter + the nocturnals. inspiration. creativity. a future.


What's really not to be thankful for?
I'm safe, I'm free, and I'm loved.

Goodnight, or good day...

lacking.

What is there to say?

I have no creativity in my being, now, what-so-ever.

All I have been for the last several days is a zombie that watches too much Netflix.

I recently started a new job as an assistant manager at a clothing store in the local mall. 

It is fun but very hard on the soles.

Sometimes I just need to write it out, plain & simple.

So that's what's up with me.

What's up with you?

insta-lately.

It's so funny to me. When I'm the busiest, I have the habit of sitting down and having to paint my nails. I swear it soothes the soul. I've spent a lot of time with Logan and children's books lately, and I'm not mad about it one bit.  Also- it's turning into fall in East TN. And I'm not mad about that one either! 

That's it for today!

Have I told y'all lately that I love you. 

Thanks for reading. It makes me feel special.

weekend mini-haul.

Hey y'all! I went shopping this weekend and picked up a couple of things from the beauty dept., so I thought I would share. So here's a mini-mini-did I say mini?-haul.

Revlon's Raven Red Nail Polish
As seen on my instagram...

Follow me! @torigjohnson

Perfect red for fall. Did you know that "Raven Red" has been around since 1945?!

Burt's Bees Facial Cleansing Towelettes with White Tea Extract

This stuff stinks. I used it last night for the first time and my face smelled like Pine Sol! Gross! I'm going to try them again tonight, but I think they might be going back :(

Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Liner in Empress

Speaking of going back... I'm a little on the fence with this product. I threw it on in Sephora, having no shadow on, and it make me look so awake! And it made my lashes look super long! But now that I've done it at home... It's not doing it for me...

Benefit Instant Brow Pencil in Light 

I'm new to filling in my brows but I really love the thick look. I can't wait to use this!

That's it! I'm off to clean my room and then to yoga class! :-)
