Eensy Bits – March

Inspired by Nancy and entries from my old blog, I decided to revive my old blog series – eensy bits!

Eensy Bits are entries or random things where I share photos that never get its own blog post or never make it to the ‘gram. They include little background stories and that’s about it. Years ago, I regularly made these posts to show what I’ve been up to recently. So, Eensy Bits are making a comeback!

Squares on squares on squares

Seeing the sunset on my way to work / showing off a huge lemon that my friend, Abby, harvested from her garden / Chris & I made friends with some cute little kitties on our afternoon walk one day!

Stocking up!

Finally got to stock up on my favorite Waikiki Beach Coconut scent (bought 4 bottles!) and decided to try out the Island Sea Salt Mango. I got lucky on these since Bath & Body Works had them on sale for $7 AND had the $10 off $30 coupon – kaching! After shopping, Chris and I had lunch at Red Robin since it was located conveniently right next to the store!

Wedding Planning in a Leuchtturm1917

I’m obsessed with notebooks and writing everything down. After reviving my old bullet journal, I made the decision to purchase a new notebook which I’ll be using for wedding planning (and maybe some doodles and what not… who knows where my mind takes me). I’m so excited to break into my new notebook!

Green Tea errthang

Chris and I stopped by Save Mart after we finished our laundry and decided that it was the perfect night for ice cream. He got his Ben & Jerry’s while I stumbled on the LAST container of green tea ice cream!! This is my absolute favorite ice cream flavor, next to cookie dough and cookies n cream but ahhh. That night, we had some homemade BBQ pulled chicken sandwich (made by yours truly), finished off with some ice cream.

And yes, I have a new favorite hedge that has become so aesthetically pleasing that I’ve used it as a back drop for several photos. How do you like the photo dumps? Yay, nay? Should’ve kept it on the old blog? Let me know! In the meantime, let me know how your month of March went!

  3. I love the post banners you’re making! Yessss! Photo dumps are the best! OMG I remember those cats!!! Y’all are so adorbs taking pictures of them! Oooooh! I haven’t shopped at Bath and Body Works in ages and love how they have the aloha theme going on! Whaaaaat, I need to go back!

    You’re so cool with the bullet journal!!!!! Ok, I actually bought an el cheapo grid one from Muji and I’m 3 pages in lolol. GREEN TEA IS SO GOOD! I love Haagen-Dazs!

    Nothing wrong with photo dumps! I like the consistency you kept with this post!

  4. Oh this is such a nice idea 🙂 I really like how the cats look so tiger\lion-like with their stares, they look angry haha.
    My March was slow and I had a little withdrawal from social media, which I really like because it always gave me time to truly unwind. Some mornings I woke up not knowing where I left my phone after-work the day before, which is a good thing!

  13. I love this photo dump idea, especially as a monthly thing! I sorta have a mini photo dump section on my round ups for memories, I always struggle with making them though because I always TAKE SO MANY LOL.

    I LOVE the Leuchtturm Notebooks, when I used to bullet journal I had the same one! It was always so satisfying 👀

  18. Loving these kind of posts and definitely looking forward to your monthly photo dumps 🙂 I love notebooks too! I always end up buying pretty notebooks but always unsure what I should write or sometimes I’m too afraid to ruin it lol! Good luck and enjoy your wedding preparations! Congratulations in advance as well haha

  19. Oh, I love this idea. i might start doing it myself.

    Love your photos. Seeing as I love cats, those are my favorite ones. 🙂

  22. These are beautiful pictures! I really liked looking through them. The cats were adorable (of course!) but the lighting and overall aesthetic of the photograph with the two bottles was really nice! That hedge is a fantastic photo prop!
    Good luck on wedding planning!
    Thank you for sharing!

  24. I used to do this on my old blog as well! Ah, you make me want to start the series again, since I take pictures as a hobby.
    But anyway, your pictures are great! I kinda wish I can find that HD green tea ice cream here. Nice post!

  25. This is such a good idea! I have so many unused photo’s which are just on my phone for memories sake but never thought about doing anything like this! PS: I need that Ice cream !!! x

  27. Your pictures are so pretty! I also never knew they did a Green Tea ice cream, and now I’m going to go on a hunt for it haha!

  33. Green tea ice cream sounds so delicious 😍 I’m not a massive ice cream lover but that would convert me!

  37. I feel like March whizzed by, I can barely remember what I did throughout the month! I love your photo dump concept, I’ll definitely give it a go so I can look back and remember all the little moments. Your big lemon is amazing, I bet it would make such a yummy lemon drizzle cake!

  39. I love these photos, it must be difficult to go through them all & pick ones to use for the blog or Instagram because they are all so good.
    Loved having a journal to write down our wedding plans, it helps bring all your ideas together & ive started a new one for the baby on the way. Good luck with the wedding planning x

  43. Love the photo dump! How random And fun!!! I think Inam going to give bullet journaling a try, or at least my version. I keep lists after list anyway, now to make them pretty!

  44. A photo dump is such a brilliant idea! I often have random photos at the end of the day that I’d love to share but am not really sure how! And how exciting to have created your wedding planning notebook – you’ll be able to make it so personal too!

  45. Loved this post! I bought a Leuchtturm1917 at the start of this year. It’s such a great journal to use! I love the concept behind monthly photo dumps! Such a fun way to incorporate some of your more personal photos into your blog!

  47. This is such a good idea! There are always those photos that never make it into blog posts or on instagram and you’ve got to put them somewhere. Those cats in those two pictures are so cute!!

  50. OMG I ACTUALLY LOVE THIS IDEA!! The kitties!!! LOVE! I am obsessed with Photography, so you may have inspired me to do something similar… absolutely love this idea! I have the Waikiki Beach Coconut in a body spritz for when I actually travelled to Waikiki beach Oahu Hawaii! It was so pretty, and that scent always brings back such amazing memories!! xx

  54. Loving the idea of this post! Green tea ice cream?! I’ve never heard of that in my life but I love the scent of green tea. Those kitties are super cute and I’d love to indulge myself in some Bath and Body Works products when I eventually make it to the US!

  56. I hope you show off some of your bullet journal/wedding planning!!! How exciting!!! I recently fell in love with Bath and Body work candles!! They have so many lovely scents!!

  57. I love new notebooks, too! And wedding planning is exciting, congratulations! I also wanted to share that I love the photo dump idea and your photos. Thanks for sharing!

  58. This is a really lovely idea! Wedding planning is super exciting, almost as exciting as breaking into a new notepad (I’m kidding, don’t worry).. 😂🙊

  59. The kittens are adorable! Are the bath and body works products lotions? or perfumes? They sound like they smell amazing, and I really want to get my hands on them now lol!

  62. Ahhh love your photos, photo dumps are my favourite posts! I really want to try that Waikiki Beach Coconut scent, I am so sad that we don’t have Bath and Body works here! Mmm green tea ice cream sounds amazing *drools* 😀 xx

  63. Love the idea of a photo dump! Might just do something like this as I have so many photos just rotting in my gallery haha. I love stocking up on my things too especially if it’s on sale! I usually (ask my aunt to) hoard Bath and Body items from america too from their sales! Hehe.

  66. Yes for photo dump posts :3 That’s what I do with my Recent Realities posts (which I’ve not done in a while . . . )

    THOSE KITTIES. HOMG. If I were not allergic cats, I’d so own one. But darn my allergies! I love the last photo of the grumpy cat 😀

    It’s good to stock up on products you like! Even better when you were able to get them on sale! It’s a good idea you are using a notebook to do your wedding planning ^^ And green tea ice cream is always good! I myself am a fan of Ben and Jerry’s chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream :3

  69. I love photo dumps, I think they’re such a fun way to get a behind the scenes look at how people spend their time. Those two kitties are so cute!
