Confessions {7.20.2017}



*This post may contain affiliate links.

Happy Thursday!  I haven’t participated in the confessions link-up in a couple of months so it’s time to unload!

I confess…

… that every single time I type the word “because” I always transpose the “a” and the “u.”  Literally every. single. time.  And I cannot train my brain/fingers to do it right no matter how hard I try.  I’ve gotten to where if I’m typing something unimportant (pretty much everything besides work emails and blog posts) then I don’t even bother to correct it.  So if you’ve seen my backwards letters in your blog comments, you now know why.  #Lazy

… that a couple of weeks ago I had to take a picture of myself holding something for an Instagram photo, and I totally only painted my two fingernails that were going to show in the picture because I didn’t feel like painting the rest of them.  #LazyAgain  #ImSensingATrendHere

... that these last few weeks I have been on a break from growing my Instagram and it's been soooo nice.  Growing it was a lot of work that was consuming too much time (that I don't have much of), so I figured that since I already exceeded my goal of 5K by almost 25% that it was acceptable to stop.  #Whew  If you want to see my exact strategy for growing my following, every single detail is here.

… that I just bought some patriotic paper plates that were on clearance and I’m totally stressing out over where to store them.  Do I store them with the paper plates?  Do I store them with the patriotic decorations?  I mean, it could go either way!  If I store them with the paper plates then I might forget that I even have them when the holidays roll around, but if I store them with the holiday decorations I won’t be able to use them on a whim if the occasion arises.  #ThingsThatKeepMeUpAtNight  #OCDToTheMax

… that I have quite literally had a bowl of frozen yogurt every single night for the last few months and I don’t see myself stopping any time soon.  I want to rid myself of my late night snacking, but I just can’t bring myself to do it.  #IllKeepTheExtraFivePoundsThanks

… that I don’t like Saturday mornings.  Everybody always seems to be a little bit irritable (maybe it’s just me?) and it also means that I have to do aaaallll the laundry.  I love Friday evenings, Saturday afternoons and evenings, and all of Sunday, but I just don’t like Saturday morning.  What’s up with that??  And actually, let’s make that I don’t like Saturday mornings in the spring, summer, or winter.  I LOVE them in the fall because that means – #ESPNCollegeGameDay

… that I’m totally 100% longing for fall already.  Once 4th of July is over, it might as well be fall in my book.  Yes, I’m aware that summer technically just started, and yes I’m aware that it’s 95 degrees (at least) outside.  But let's face it, summertime lost its charm long ago once I started clocking it in for corporate America.  I am just so ready for pumpkins and football and beautiful leaves and scarves and being able to enjoy hot coffee again.  #BasicForLife  #NoShame

… that I’m totally thinking after yesterday's post that we do not wash our towels enough.  And I’m also thinking that a lot of my readers don’t either because hardly anybody answered that question.  Haha. 

… that the Nordstrom sale is finally open to the public tomorrow and the majority of the stuff that I had my eye on is sold out.  Waaaahhhh.  I was dying to buy this top and they are all gone in my size in the color I wanted.  :o(  I also wanted this top and it’s no longer available in my size and color of choice either.  I think I am going to buy these leggings and this top, though… if they’re still available, that is!  #FashionBloggersAreBuyingUpAllTheGoodStuff

... that I just got accepted into the rewardStyle program and I'm so excited!!!!  I love fashion so much and it is an honor to be a part of such an influential program.  I have always said that if I was ever going to narrow my blogging niche to something other than a family scrapbook I would choose fashion, hands down.  I have loved it since I was old enough to walk and talk, and after years and years of wearing school uniforms I think I love it even more now.  :o)  I do, however, always feel awkward when posing for pictures alone, so I'm not sure that I'm cut out to do that full time.  Haha.  So don't worry, Lindsay's Sweet World will always be a place to come for lots of random different things... I might, however, have some fun new stuff in the works for the new year, though!  ;o)

Happy, happy Friday Eve!

  1. Congrats on getting into RewardStyle! That's awesome! I have been hearing some bloggers (who usually work with Nordstrom) that they plan on restocking things on Friday. Hopefully that is the case! Also, totally on board for fall, too!

  2. OMG I'm the same way when I buy holiday plates and tableware! I usually put it in my bin with the decor though. I have yet to pull the trigger on anything from the sale, I'm trying to be good but I do want to get a few things for the kids!

  5. I'm so lazy and rarely fix my misspelled words too. LOL! I wash my towels once a week, sometimes I can go a bit longer. But I don't know how often is good enough and I didn't want to sound nasty haha!
    SO happy you got into RS, you totally deserve it!
    xo, Lily

  6. Yay for getting in the rewardStyle program.
    I wash my towels at least twice a week. I have no idea what is normal!
    I'm going to be at the lake tomorrow with limited cell service so I can't shop. 😢

  7. You are wishing for Fall, and I'm wishing that Summer would never end! ;) If only Fall didn't lead to winter up North. It gets so darn cold. And Fall also means making school lunches... Nooooo!!! Congrats on getting into the rewardStyle program. That's awesome!

  9. How often should be washing our towels??? My husband grew up washing them after every use, we go a 2-3 days between for us adults and the kids we wash after every use because they trained themselves to put their towels in the laundry basket which I don't want to break because obviously...;) PS instragram growing is about to make me lose my mind so there's that! xoxo ERIN

  10. Exciting news about Reward Style! I know what you mean about always typing the same word incorrectly. At work I have to type "Court of Common Pleas" all the time, but I always type "Court of Common PLEASE." I have to double and triple check before I submit anything to the judge!! LOL!

  11. I am dying over your painting 2 fingernails- too funny! I keep my extra holiday napkins and plates in one drawer in the buffet in my dining room that I kind of deem the party drawer. Since it has such a mish mash, I check it prior to the specific holiday to see what I still need to pick up and what I can use.

  12. I never know where to store things either and once I decided I try to make myself remember where they are. I might be getting up early or at this point staying up to grab a few things from the sale. A lot of things I was hoping for too are no longer in my size, so we will see. Congrats on rewardStyle! Yay to more fashion posts!! Beautifully Candid

  13. IG and I are not friends anymore. I will still post and what not, but they are on my you know what list. I just don't understand them and never will. Now as for the fingernail thing. OMG, lololololol #youmightbeabloggerif.

  14. Yay for the rewardStyle, so fun! And LOL at your fingernail polish confession, so funny!

  15. Congrats on the RewardStyle!! And at least you painted two of your nails... I wouldn't have painted any of them. And I've just sort stopped trying to grow my IG. I'd love to make it to 5K by the end of the year, so maybe I'll start really trying once summer is over.

    1. Thanks, Danielle. And yeah, I feel you on IG. It's just too much work! Unless you go viral or follow/unfollow, there's really no way to gain quickly.
