About Me

Hi. My name is Michelle and I have anxiety. You probably got that from the name of my blog, but I just want to make sure we're all clear on that.

When asked how I'm feeling, my response is often "anxious". When asked why, sometimes the answer is simply "life". Because life makes me anxious.

Despite having anxiety, I manage to get a lot of stuff done. I love to write and read. I love skincare and makeup. I love animals, especially my own dog.

I often channel my anxiety into craft projects, art and makeup. That's what you'll find here. My anxiety, in the form of my wedding decorations, watercolor paintings, digital art and design and more!

My world is wonderful and terrifying at the same time and always interesting. Good luck.

Did anyone else watch the George Clooney movie about this guy and HATE IT?

My mother in law also lives in the DC metro area so she came along as well. I did a bunch of research before the appointment and picked a boutique that had a good inventory of p...

In defense of mason jars

So you've decided to do it yourself. Let's take a moment to make sure this is a good idea. Image source My wedding DIY journey went something like this: 1. Book the venue 2. Ask for referral for a florist 3. Set up phone call with florist and fiance 4. Florist says the "bare minimum" will be about $4,000 5. Politely tell the florist to go fuck him or her self 6. Decide to just do it all yourself 7. Do it all myself 8. Die Ok, that might be a bit dramatic. Actually, I don't think it's dramatic enough. There were way more steps until I got to number 8. Image source If you're going to do the flowers and decorations and everything yourself, you need a few things:  1. The will to spend 97% of your free time working on them until your wedding 2. At least one friend/family member/bridesmaid that is willing to do all your bidding 3. More money than you'd expect, but definitely less than if you pay someone else to do it Doi...
