Art.

Hello, darlings! I know it's been awhile since my last post, but my internet has been glitchy lately. It's been so frustrating! GAH! Oh well, it's working again and that's all that matters, right? Right!

Alright, here's the thing. I want a tattoo. The only problem is that I have a low pain tolerance and I'm a chicken. I've been perusing Google with my closest friend, Aubrey, to find some tattoo ideas because we want to get one together. I admire Aubrey because she has faced her fear and gotten three beautiful tattoos. I'm working on toughening up and getting my own pretty little tattoo. Here are my favorites so far!







Unfortunately, I don't have the correct source for any of these. If you know of it, please let me know and I'll make the necessary changes. 

Do you have any tattoos? What are they of? I'd love to hear about them!

Insomnia.

On nights like this, the nights insomnia prevails, I do one of three things: (1) read, (2) watch a movie - thank you to whoever created Netflix, or (3) look at a plethora of interior design, DIY, and apartment websites. Tonight marks the night I discovered Anthropologie. While I looked at the coffee mugs, curtains, rugs, bedding, and the countless other treasures, I was transported from a world of sleeplessness to a world of designer magic. Ah, just thinking of all the beauty I found makes me smile. Side note: I realize I may sound a little silly, but excessive silliness is a price of sleep deprivation. Another price? Wishing I had more money that way I could buy all of the goodies for the apartment I don't have . . . After looking at literally every page of every category in the "at home" section, I have decided that I simply cannot go on living life without the glorious things below.

You beautiful curtain, you. 


Lovely musings.


These always intrigue me. 


Sweet dreams.


Spice up your life. 


A cup of tea cures all problems. 


Mug, meet Chai. I think you'll be the best of friends. 


Lively bedding. 



Finally, such wise words.

I hope you enjoyed these lovely things as much I did. I think it's time for me to get some shut eye. Sweet dreams, all.

P.S. What do you do when you can't sleep? Do you have a favorite design or DIY website?

Have a beautiful weekend!

Hello lovelies! It's finally the weekend and that means relaxation and time with friends and family. Tomorrow morning I have my dance and kickboxing class and then off to buy some flowers for the garden. (Pictures to come!) On Sunday, I'm going to an Art Museum with my mom, sister, aunt, and cousin. I'm looking forward to what already feels like a great weekend! What about you? Do you have any fun plans for the weekend?

Here are few links for your enjoyment...

Mmmmm...

This girl knows how to live a full life.

Probably the cutest onesie in the world!

Pucker up.

How would you react if you saw someone doing this?

How to get a dancer's physique.

A Summer Melody

This is one of my favorite songs! It's perfect for a beautiful summer's day. Get in the car, roll the windows down, turn this song up and enjoy the sunshine. What are some of your favorite songs? 

I said I don't want to walk this earth
If I got to do it solo

See how we used to be a team
Running the streets
Ya we was living out our dream, oh
You used to be my rider
I was your provider
And now we separated in two

Oh we was burning up the block
And everybody know when we step in the spot, oh
See, we was like the dynamic duo
I'd never thought that you'd go, but you did
Yeah you did

[Pre-Chorus:]
Oh baby you left and sailed away alone (yeah, alone)
And now you got me trapped up on this island
With nowhere to get home

[Chorus:]
And I don't wanna go, no
I don't wanna go, go
I don't wanna go, no
I don't wanna go, no
I don't want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo)
Cause I was so high
And I was so low
And I don't wanna walk around alone, solo
And I don't want to walk this earth
If I gotta do it solo (solo, solo)

You asked me pinned onto my top line
Put us together
And you have to hit the rewind
See, you give me a purpose
Now I'm getting nervous
That my heart will never sing again
Oh, when we were burning up the airways
Didn't know I was from the Virgin Islands to the U.K.
See, we was on the way to the platinum and gold
Never thought you'd go, but you did
Yeah, You did

[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

S-O-L-O
I don't wanna walk S-O-L-O
I don't wanna walk S-O-L-O
Oh no (oh no)
I don't wanna walk S-O-L-O
I don't wanna walk S-O-L-O
I don't ever wanna let your love go
Whoa
I don't wanna walk S-O-L-O

[Chorus] 




Have a beautiful day, lovelies!

Artsy Cozies

The older I become, the more my caffeine addiction grows, so when I found out about this project, I was ecstatic! You see, I love anything creative and that is exactly what this project is. The Cozy Project. Such a simple name and idea, yet so fun! The idea of a cute alternative to the boring brown cardboard coffee sleeves is wonderful and probably works better. Honestly, how many of you think the quarter inch cardboard actually keeps our scolding coffees and lattes from burning our hands? Not too many, I'd assume. SO.. why not get one of these?! They're so much cuter and they're easy to carry around. Here are a few of my favorites:

Happy June First, lovelies! I hope you all have a cozy day.  :)
