The June/July Review
“How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.” -Coco Chanel
Well this is awkward. Did you forget about me? Let’s just say the last couple months have been interesting. After working from home for almost five months, I still haven’t figured out a good schedule. It’s amazing to me how I have worked for 10 + years, and it has never once crossed my mind to go to into work without make up on, or hair not fixed, but these days and working from home, I go entire weeks without wearing make up or fixing my hair. Which I truly believe has a very negative affect on my overall productivity levels…..and the first thing to always get the ax when I’m feeling overwhelmed, over scheduled, stressed, etc. is ToasttoPost.com, which is really a sad thing because I love it so much. I love writing, sharing, giving recommendations, but I think what happened was……
I just kept getting further and further behind to the point where I felt like I could never catch up.
In fact, here it is, August 4th, and I never wrote an April Review. I am behind on collabs, posts, reviews, etc. and it just keeps piling and piling and piling.
July was not my month. If you saw THIS Instagram post, you probably read all about it. I’ve spent the first few days of August really focusing on bettering myself by eating healthier, working out, and finding time throughout the day to just take a minute and breathe.
With that said, I combined the June and July monthly reviews. Take a look below for alllllll the details on what’s been going on the last couple of months. From top items sold, to Instagram posts, blog posts, fun events, and collabs, it’s all below. Check it out!

Ok, so that was a lot! One of the things that always amazes me when I put these posts together is how I forget everything happens throughout the months. I really do. I scroll through my phone pictures, Instagram, RewardSytle analytics, Amazon Orders page to pull all this together, and I am always amazed.
Every.single.month.
