that’s what I’m talkin about

VIA This weekend I had one of those shut-up moments! Not like shut-up and be quiet, but shut-up!! Exciting wise! So I was googling and found this seriously awesome etsy shop. They crochet handmade mini dogs. Obviously I want this one, because that’s almost exactly what my dog looked like! I know right?! Okay, so let me show you what else I found this weekend. A carrot cake recipe that looks heavenly This girls new skirts, it looks so twirl worthy. Not to toot my own horn, but I’ve been making this on the regular…. Read More

a picture to describe your weekend

This picture describes my weekend almost entirely. 1. I did so much school work that I think my bum got numb at least twice. I strongly dislike sitting down for long periods of time, but sometimes it’s necessary, especially when your teachers give you lots of homework. 2.

I’m pretty sure I’ve discussed this before, but I can’t get over how in love with the show I am. I mean cafe nervosa on the daily, being on the radio and just being classy.

the most pictures from a coffee place that you will ever want to see

As I sit here and enjoy my double chocolate-y chip frap I start to understand why they say self care is so important. I can’t tell you the last time I did something for myself, well I volunteer and that’s always a blast; but I’m talking something literally just for me. So lets mark the calendar for today. I’m so burnt out. I’m done with school and seriously done with being the “new girl”. Because when you’re the “new girl” you don’t know anything, you have never worked, and you need to learn… Read More
