Sooo I finally decided to take the leap and create my own stickers and they came out much better than I expected- seeing that it was the first time I ever made stickers for a specific planner. My baby is the Happy Planner and all the stickers fit perfectly in them. I swear I’m looking at the spread right next to me and it just makes me so happy (no pun intended). AND the best part is, I’m giving you it as a FREE printable that you can download for your planner!
Growing up, let’s just say I was the rebel- and obviously that meant I got myself into a fair share of trouble. From jumping over my gate for nightly escapades, partying in clubs where I was underage, getting bad drunk and So. Much. More. Looking back now, I could kick myself because not only were those things dangerous and totally unnecessary, it just wasn’t worth what came after aka a load of self regret, wishing that didn’t happen and the greatest question of all, “why the F did I do that?”
The good news? I am SO over those years and lucky for you, I gained some hard wisdom that I’m gonna share today with the top 5 stupid things I did & the lessons I learned. And obviously my cute outfit details as well.
One word: Joggers. There is nothing but love that I have for these pants but lemme just say that in the beginning, I NEVER thought that these would look good on my 5″2 frame. It’s kinda like how I don’t dare (for now) try to fit myself into long jumpers. It might just swallow me whole #LOL
P.S. Forever 21 has these three colours on sale for less than $10 right now so you should totally snag them before they’re all gone.
About a week and a few days ago, I had eye surgery to fix a shift in my cornea- what can I say, your girl got big eyes #LOL My recovery was smooth except for the fact that I despised not being able to move about and do the things that I love AND I can’t go to the gym for 2 more weeks.
The gym part sucks AF because tbh I got in a groove and now I have to get myself into that gym routine all over again. I’m sitting right now and OMFG I kid you not I felt a pocket of cellulite on my thigh. I know it’s normal but I would feel better if I was kicking my booty with a bomb ass workout right? I also can’t wear makeup for ages and let’s not even talk about my eyelash extensions situation.
TIP: don’t do your eyelashes unless you KNOW you could always have it cause lemme just say when it falls off or in my case if you had to resentfully pluck them out, you won’t be able to bear the sight of your naked molerat looking eyeballs.
My vision has not yet fully returned but by the end of this week or the next, it should??? Time will tell.
Anywayyyyy onto some fun things I have been currently loving during my recovery.
This floral cat ears makes me relive my Blair Waldorf days and it’s très useful when I’m doing a face mask.
An eyeshadow & highlight palette you NEED to have is the Carli Bybel Palette which is now available at Ulta #YAY Basically it has the prettiest neutral eyeshadows with just the right amount of shimmery ones and OMG your highlight will forever be on fleek with these. I just love taking a fan brush and dragging it straight through all the highlighters for the best glow ever.
Okay I am a #PLANNERADDICT we know this and therefore not being able to write in my baby for a week as been painful AF but it just made me fall in love with it so much more. Also, if you saw my wishlist here and follow me on instagram here, you would know I got most things on my list and I couldn’t be more excited- I swear my fingers just twitched.
This YSL Lipstick gives my lips the perfect pink tint and since lipstick is all I can wear makeup wise, this is life. I apply a coat and then just dab it onto my lips. The only thing I don’t like too much is the high shine nature of it, but I blot everything off with a tissue.
And the completely random paper clip that looks like a ballerina because of the tulle is just an item that I got in one of my Planner Addict Boxes and it just makes me happy- I don’t know why but it does. I just think it’s ridiculously pretty okay? #STATIONERYHOARDER
I have a ton of fun blog posts coming your way- let’s just say that I had a lot of time to think LOL so can’t wait to share them with you!

The social media world has been rocked by the recent Instagram stories which basically is an almost replica of the self-destructing Snapchat story which took over the world. Let me be the first to admit that I thought I would hate the new Instagram update – talk about being close minded- but it turns out that I am obsessed.
P.S. if you wanna see exclusive photos and now video stories on Instagram be sure to follow me @itsroxyjames
Instagram stories makes it so easy to immediately see what everyone you’re following is doing and it’s just so much fun having everything in one app. Personally for me, I would be utterly lazy to go into my snapchat to find the snaps I wanted to see. But like I said- the convenience of having everything in Instagram is too real. Sure, it’s missing a few fun filters here and there (as of this post) but let’s be real, you know they gonna be lighting it up soon.
The new story feature gives you that unfiltered look into the lives of a seemingly “perfect” instagram account and I love that. It’s just so refreshing because I feel like I can connect more not only to those who I’m following, but also my followers.
Do you have any thoughts on this instagram vs snapchat story battle? Let me know below!
