life via instagram and other stuff






1. iced vente vanilla soy shaken black tea latte #hightmaintenance 2. blueberry muffin at school 3. my future old town home 4. a nicely made bed to start the day 5. how i "fold" my fitted sheets 6. new ikea snack bowls

One of these days I'll settle on a blog design, or maybe not..I like to keep you on your toes. My weekend is coming and that means I have to conduct my first interviews for my senior seminar project, insert slightly awkward and nervous stutter. Our group is interviewing immigrants about their time here in America and then writing a 30 page analysis on our findings..yowza. Wish me luck! I'm less confident than I should be when it comes to school and papers, but I'm working on it.

In other news, I have two photo shoots coming up and possibly a third and I'm so excited to pick up my camera again! I have so many posts to catch up on, like our trip to Squaw Valley ohh I dunnooo 3 months ago, our trip down to Long Beach last month and lots of other cool stuff. But for now I should sleep, tomorrow will be here before I'm ready to wake up..seeing as how it's 3:25 in the am!

Goodnight and Sleep tight to whoever is reading my late night thoughts.


DIY Button Earrings






I'm still alive! Over 3 weeks since my last post? Yikes. I've kinda just fallen off the blogging train I think, lost a little inspiration I guess you could say. So why not make my reappearance with a DIY? Hopefully this will be the start to new inspiration. I just enjoyed Spring Break and had some time to do a little crafting with my best friend but now it's back to the books. It's about to get crazy intense with school...but I just peeked at the countdown widget on my dashboard and we're at 53 days 10 hours 37 minutes and 57 seconds until graduation, to be exact ;). Just a little over two months until freedom. I can hardly believe it.

Happy crafting and happy Monday!





Yesterday was thursday

so I enjoyed an entire day of going to thrift stores, wearing lipstick & eating bread.. & ice cream..


Noah's Bagels..you are my weakness..I would make a great European.
They eat a lot of bread there..right? Maybe it's just pastries...but ohhh I can eat a lot of those too thanks.



I've never been one to wear lipstick..in fact I'm a chapstick-oh-holic..like I always have chapstick on me and panic if it's missing. I may have a problem. Never the less, I'm trying out lipstick. eek! I feel so grown up. Any color recommendations for this newbie? 


Just a few thrifty finds that I'm a little bit excited about


At 10pm Mr and I realized that we hadn't had treats in our house for quite some time now and we decided that our healthiness could be put on hold because our friends Ben and Jerry wanted to hang out. Not pictured is the 2 packs of doughnut holes Mr got because it was buy one, get one free. We go all out.


Thursday was good :)
