3 Super Easy No Effort DIY's

So I am not really a DIY person...but I did do a few DIY's recently that I think really tie my room together... and I kind of like them... and although they are not complicated they aren't necessarily things that you see on a lot DIY projects... and I wanted to share these cause they're very easy and very me!

1. Apothecary Jar For Spring 

So I think I've mentioned that I have an Apothecary Jar and in the winter I filled it with Ornaments and jingle bells and for the spring I decided to put some Fake Flowers in it! So I just got 3 bunches of flowers from Dollar Tree that I thought went well together and it looked like they'd match the color of my room. I have pink, a dark bluish purpley color and then a Lavender- which is the actual color of my room... and I just stuck those in the apothecary jar and kind of fluffed them out and arranged them as nicely as I thought I could... and I love it. I Love the green showing in the bottom and the pop of color on top that matches the wall... I think it's so cute!


2. Circular Doodle on a Notebook 

This I kind of wanted to have as a place filler because I have a sort of "Gallery Wall" with some blank space on it... but I do think this little doodle looks pretty cool. I've always done these line doodles, sometimes I color them in, sometimes I don't... This time I decided to color in some parts with black and leave the white. I did this on ruled Notebook paper- which I think is kind of cool... I think notebook paper gives it kind of a unique look... plus it feels more writer-y to me and more genuine to the type of doodle it is. This is just a doodle I did on notebook paper when I was in school and I still try to do sometimes because people are usually kind of impressed by it... but it requires little to no artistic skill at all... and I like that!

3. Notebook Paper Quote 

Again... I just like notebook paper artwork because to me it's genuine. I wrote down "Stay Weird, Stay Different" which is a line from the writer Graham Moore's Oscar Acceptance Speech. He won for The Imitation Game's Best Adapted Screenplay and I have that quote on a Necklace that my sister got me for college graduation... and I think it's very inspiring... and I don't even know who won for best picture that year... I just remember that particular speech! So yeah!

And that is everything! I hope you guys like this sort of post... if I do this type of thing again- which maybe I will- I'll post about it... but I just thought this was cool... and just kind of keep in mind your own personal style. I know Notebook Paper probably isn't for everyone- but I personally like it because I'm a writer and I do write on a notebook paper quite often! Don't be afraid to embrace little quirks like that!

Byeee!

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c...

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
