SUCCESS!

For such a long time, I've been looking everywhere on the inter webs for this phone case:

I wanted it for a couple reasons: 

1. It's Kate Spade.

2. It's my favorite shade of purple.

Well I missed it on the website, and I missed it during the last surprise sale, so the only places I could find it were amazon and Ebay and people were selling them for an arm and a leg and your first born child. But the other day as I was getting my hair touched up and waiting for the dye to set in my hair, I was scrolling through my Poshmark app, and I happened to come across this beauty:

THIS LISTING FOR $15 DOLLARS.

HECK. YES.

I literally can't tell you how pleased I am. Thank you poshmark!

Blogmo Quiz 3!

One of my favorite bloggers, Erin at Two Thirds Hazel, creates a blogger quiz every couple months that is like one of those cosmo quizzes that the cover girl fills out. And of course, I have to do every one of them. 
Enjoy!

I LIED

Soooo, I changed my url/blogname again. And this time it's sticking. 
After some thinking about "Ophelia Jade", I realized it was cute, but not sure if I could fit it well enough to my blog. 
So "The Caffeinated Thespian" was born. Literally me to a T.

HAPPY ALMOST FALL

Soo, was casually browsing the Bath and Body Works website (not like I don't know what we sell), and I was looking through the candles page when suddenly:

THE FIRST FOUR OFFICIAL FALL FUCKING CANDLES.
I literally almost cried because I'm so excited. Pumpkin Cupcake and SCP and my fall jams. I will be for sure buying at least two of each when we bring them into stores. Hollaaa (here's a tip, when 3-wick candles are 2 for $22, every additional candle after the initial 2 are going to ring up as $11, which brings you to  $33 before your locations tax. If you use a $10 off $30 coupon, you're basically getting a free candle. You're welcome)

NEW URL!!!

After months of wanting to change my blog name/url and everything I wanted being taken, I came across this gem: 

As I looked up the words that matched my name (A for ally, 29 for my birthday), I remembered how obsessed I was with my hippie name when I saw this a while ago. That's when I thought, "Hey, if I can't use my real name, let's use my hippie name"

So Ophelia Jade it is <3

B&BW Struggles

My name is Ally, and I'm addicted to buying candles. 

The source of my problem is working at Bath and Body Works (hello seasonal candles, and hello employee discount).  I'm super picky about my candles too, which makes it a little easier because I know I won't buy them all the time if there's not a scent I like. But the seasons that get me are Fall and Winter, 1. because those are seriously the best scents ever; and 2. I'm obsessed with the holiday season. From now until January you'll see me glued to the Holidays category on Pinterest look at cute decorations and recipes (especially since I'm moving into my own place!)
The other day, I was at a mall about an hour from me (which is kind of a sister mall to the one I work at because they're owned by the same company; Simon Malls, if any of you have malls or Premium Outlet centers near you) because they're the closest mall to me with a Victorias Secret/PINK/Forever 21/Vera Retail, and I had a gift card and coupons I wanted to use at PINK. I happened to stop into their BBW so see how much sale product they had left, and was surprised to find out that they had all of the new "Fresh Picked" for the later summer season out of the shelves already (we hadn't put ours out yet). So of course I had to buy this gem: 

Because HELLOOOO, why not make my house smell like fall 2 months early! I will for sure be buying another mason jar and probably a three-wick soon, along with a Farmstand Apple or 2 (because It's probably one of my all time favorite some scents that we sell). But don't worry, I'll keep you all posted for the FALL SCENTS COMING OUT SOON <3

(PS: Yes that is a pencil cup filled with dry pasta next to my candles. For those of you who don't know, dry noodles make good candle lighters, because if you stick the end of a noodle into a flame, it will grab some of the flame so you can safely light your candles without having to turn the candle upside down or worrying about burning yourself with the flame of your lighter if you currently don't have a candle lighter. Watch out though, because you can't move the noodle far without the flame going out!)
