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!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...
