Alright just a little back story about me: I fell on hard times about 6 years ago and had to sell my whole purse collection. I have been slowly rebuilding my collection, and my main goal this time around is to not repeat any styles or colors if possible.

Today I passed a big test at school! (I’m 35 btw 😂 never too late) so I treated myself to this suede Carey bag from the outlet. I went in the store to look at the loved leather collection, but this one really caught my eye. I was torn between the suede and loved leather, but I finally concluded that it was just due to the popularity of the LL that had me coveting it. I didn’t actually like the look of it, in my soul. I had to stick with my gut and go with the suede! The LL Carey just looked a little too… AI or computerized or whatever, to me. The only LL that really caught my eye was the Laurel, but all the other ones looked like a robot brushed the same streaks on each one. I wanted to love it, but I just didn’t. Also, I am not big on silver hardware. So that’s just a me-thing.

Anyway, here’s my collection! The crystal denim Tabby was a birthday gift to myself last month 😅 I probably won’t buy anything new until Christmas time, so I’m just going to enjoy and be thankful for all that I have!

All I can say about Coach is that I really love how they hold their value and the quality really lasts a long time for the price. I know spending can feel frivolous (and it certainly is to some extent), but if you keep the bags clean and nice they really do become investment pieces over time. I was quite thankful I had my old collection to fall back on liquidating. Wouldn’t want to do it again, but I’m thankful it was an option for me.

This isn’t all of them! Pretty decent discounts

Crepes are one of those foods that I miss dearly from before finding out I have celiac. I had to try these. They aren’t perfect, but they do scratch the crepe itch a little bit. They might taste better warmed up and with toppings

I'm not buying anything for a while, but doesn't mean I can't scroll and share what I found :) Really love that Tabby 30 in cream

When I was researching this bag, I struggled to find non-model, real-life photos. So here’s a few photos in the comments and a video of what fits inside, how it looks on a normal (or larger) body, and of course the sparkle. The camera still doesn’t do the sparkle full justice.

On a personal note if anyone wants to give advice: I am still on the fence about the 36!! The 26 has less space than I’m used to, but it’s not unmanageable. This is my first Tabby, I usually go with a Laurel or soho/tote type of bag. I actually really like how chic the 26 looks, I just fear something kind of silly TW body image: … does it look too small for my body? I worry that a small bag might make me look bigger? Or am I crazy? The Dillard’s lady also seemed surprised that I was buying this bag for myself, not sure if it’s because I’m old or fat 😂 or if I read too much into what she said (probably). At the end of the day, I think the bag is beautiful and it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. Anyway, see photo below of it on me. At any rate, I’m now psychoanalyzing how much I’ve always hidden behind my giant bags 🫠

Please tell me I only need to memorize this stuff for the test to pass this class and won’t need to really use it in the field. Semi-freaking out because I generally am great with dosages and drug calculations/interactions/contraindications. But these nitty gritty parts about anti-cholinergics, alpha-andrenergics, beta1, beta2, etc etc etc. it’s just not clicking with my brain. How much of this is actually on the NCLEX? And how much of this is used in day-to-day nursing?

Anyone have some tips or resources for pharmacology? It’s so much dense information, I feel like my brain is not big enough lol. Trying not to lose motivation. Mostly this is a vent post 🥺

Liiiike, sorry if this is rude to say, but there’s a reason I’m in nursing school and not med school 😅

Pretty sure he’s a boy, but kind of hard to tell! He is so smol, maybe 3 weeks (canines are coming in and his eyes look like they opened recently). We go to the vet in a few hours and I need something to write on the intake form lol. We currently have all boy cats: Bean, Odin, Boo, and Miso. We really like short and cute names. Maybe food inspired.

Here are the names I’ve thought of so far, but am definitely open to new suggestions:
Oddish (like the Pokémon, stolen from Reddit)
Vesper
Lupin
Yoda (because of his ears)
Dobby (also because of his ears)
Mushroom/shroom
Enoki (a type of mushroom)
