Tuesday Things.
1. In looking back at old blog posts (embarrassing!) from 2011 and 2012 last night, I was sooo full of wishing that blogging/instagram was sharing real life moments all the time again. It’s so old school but I can’t stop doing that here on my crumbs section! Sometimes I feel like I’m living in 2009 with my posts. HA.
2. Not sure I’ve ever seen such an amazing strawberry shortcake. Insane.
3. In typical iPhone fashion, my camera is on the fritz soooo I need to think about a new one. The 8? The X? Give me your thoughts! I have a 7plus and love the size so I’m leaning towards the 8plus.
4. When I was planting some flowers Sunday night, I found huuuuge ant hills in some of my pots. Like the teeny ants, but millions. I mean, zillions. And it reminded me of this recurring dream I used to have as a kid where I would wake up and look across the room and see thousands of ants crawling up my closet door. And last night that’s all I could think of and my skin is still crawling! Ick. Going to have to move.
5. Billions was SO good this week. That ending with Taylor? Oh my gosh. And Lara and Bobby? This freaking cast is so good. And I’m freaking out for the finale next week. Oh oh! Do you know what else I watched that I thought was really cute? Splitting Up Together. Adorable. Annnd I’m so ready for Pacey in The Affair.
6. Insanity that it’s the 20 year anniversary of Sex and The City. And because of that, I can’t stop reading all the anniversary articles.
7. Did you guys see the spelling bee last week?! I pretty much hold my breath every time someone has to spell a word and it gets worse as the competition dwindles. I can’t even imagine being one of the parents! See also: those words were insane. Spelling was my strongest subject in school (hello, math is the worst) but those words? I was clueless.
8. Very much in love with Rachel’s idea of a dress code. Love.
9. Sometimes I sit and smell the perfume bottles in my beauty “pantry” to remind myself of certain moments. Why yes, I would be the queen of procrastination. And nostalgia! Really though, what did middle school smell like for you? For me, it was Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers.

I have the iPhone 8 and really like it; but I especially like it because of my falling-pink-glitter-waterfall phone case.
Falling pink glitter waterfall phone case??? OMG I must have one! Where did you get it?
Case-Mate! ☺️
I’m in love! Thanks Liz!
No problem! Hope you like it as much as I do. I also recommend the balloon animal iPhone stand ☺
Pretty sure we all rushed to Amazon to purchase this case :)
Sorry, I’m a Samsung Galaxy girl.
7-8th grade….. Chanel Cristalle EDT and Elizabeth Arden BlueGrass….I still have the bottle it’s vintage now!

I have the 8 and i SO wish I would have gotten the X. I had the 6s before purchasing the 8 and I cant really tell a difference between the two. It is definitely worth the extra $10 a month to get the X. Mostly for the AMAZING camera.
Oh YES Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers. I was obsessed with anything with a sunflower on it because of it. My grandmother even made me a birdhouse (???) with sunflowers painted on it.
And ummm awhile back you mentioned watching the Americans but never brought it up again! The series finale was last week, and I think it moved into my top 3 tv shows ever ever ever of all time. And it could actually even be #1.
I’ve heard used coffee grounds will help deter ants from creeping into your plants. (Not great for all plants, though, so worth googling to be safe.)
I love that you still blog like this! They are always my favorite and I wish we could go back to that.
I have the iPhone X and Love it. The screen is the same size as the 7plus really because it’s edge to edge. The size is perfect because you don’t have to stretch your finger to reach the other side. Plus facial recognition is amazing.
OMG! Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers, yes. In high school, also had a phase of Clinique Happy.
I was all about DREAM by Gap Body!
I got an iPhone X last month and I love it. I went in expecting to get the 8 plus, but it just felt too big to me. I love that the X has the same size screen as the 8 plus, but is a smaller phone. It still seems like an insane amount of money to spend, but I am so pleasantly surprised at how much I like it.
Not middle school, but I will forever picture my high school bathroom when I smell either Sun-Ripened Raspberry or Cucumber Melon body spray from Bath & Body Works. The girls would go in there at lunch time and spritz up the place to hide the cigarette smoke, LOL. Whether you wanted to or not, you came out smelling like raspberry or cuke melon.
We live in the Pittsburgh area and had the ant exterminators here twice already. This year I started gardening and am finding ants everywhere in our yard. The ant people said it’s a very bad year for ants.
I am a Galaxy person. I tried the IPhone but couldn’t make the switch.
Ohhh…mine was Elizabeth Arden Green Tea!! I feel ya hahaha!
Middle school for me was Moonlight Path from Bath and Body Works. High School was Victoria Secret Lovespell, Burberry Brit and Dolce and Gabbana light blue (which I still love!)
Yes Yes YESSSS to #1!! <3
Love my iPhone X!! Totally worth the extra $$ to me. Amazing pictures and I like the bigger screen size in a smaller phone. Face ID, swipe to move through apps is so quick and easy.
I love that dress code too! As adults, I think we need a uniform too.

Middle school smelled like gap dream, and bath and body works cucumber melon and sun ripened raspberry!
i have the X and for me its ok. the camera is better but still not great and the facial recognition is only semi effective. actually a lot of time i miss the fingerprint because it ALWAYS seemed to work for me. i feel like at least 40% of the time if not more i have to put in my password which is 6 digits cuz of work. #annoying
middle school….hmmm i dont think my mom would let me buy bath and body works yet…and im not sure when this was but i remember my first perfume purchase on my own was Lancome Tresor. for some reason i found it very grown up and sexy. like i felt it would change my life ? i would guess i was around 14 or so ? i look back now and LMAO at that kid…well its a lot of years later and im still looking to feel grown up and sexy. but at least i learned it probably wont come from a perfume…probably…but maybe ???
Gap, Heavenly. All the high school memories!
Also, Pacey Pacey Pacey!
