Eensy Bits – March

April 3, 2018

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!

    Love love love all your photos! You have really great handwriting too. I always want to bullet journal but then I get lazy. It actually seems like a lot of work! Maybe it’s just me haha.

    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!

    Oh this is such a nice idea πŸ™‚ 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!

    first of all… omg the size of that lemon 😱!!! Also I’d like to say that I love the idea of a monthly photo dump because yes, not every picture makes it way online but every single one of it is so precious in its own way.

    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 πŸ‘€

    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!

    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

    I can never get tired of green tea ice cream hehe. I love the minimal journal design you got as well. I heard about bullet journaling probably last year and definitely would like to try it as well.

    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 πŸ˜€

    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
