How To-sday: How To Arrange a Bookshelf

Ahhhh arranging a bookshelf. If you thought you knew how to do it you're probably wrong because I just did it wayyy better!

1) Use it For DVDs 
I don't always keep a lot of my books... so many of my book shelves are really DVD shelves. So yeah.

2)  By Genre... 
You ever think "Hey I'm in the mood for a horror Movie" and all you're finding is rom coms? Fear no more! Just arrange your dvds according to different genres. I have a section for Romantic Comedies/Chick Flicks, Horror and serious movies... on that shelf I also have my X Files DVDs and Tim Burton Movies because that fit there... One shelf I have cartoons, kids movies and holiday movies... one shelf is comedies, next shelf is TV... and I think that's it.

3) Give Wes Anderson Movies Their Own Shelf- 
The only movie that didn't fit in my collection was The Royal Tenenbaums... Couldn't figure out where to put it... so it might get it's own shelf. Maybe I'll get other Wes Anderson Movies to put on that same shelf? Right Now I think I have it with the Chick Flicks because I had some room there.

4)  Put Other Stuff there? 
I had some room so I ended up putting my Bath and Body Works Perfumes on one shelf. I kind of like that because then when I use my perfume in the morning I can see what sort of movies I have and I can be like "Ohh... I should watch Pitch Perfect Tonight."

5) Dedicate some space for your faves 
As I said with books... I don't necessarily keep every book I have because I'm unlikely to read them more than once... but some of my favorites are Harry Potter and The Princess Diaries. I also have a lot of Autobiographies from different people like Mindy Kaling, Tina Fey and Others that I'm obviously going to keep... so those have a shelf. I have a whole shelf with all of my Friends DVDs which is exciting. I watch these a lot or go back to reread them a lot... or I just like looking at them. So they have their own shelves.

6) Movies or Books You Don't need to see or read more than once? Get rid of them!!! 
There are some books and movies that are good... but do you really think you'll watch them again or read them again? No. Give it to someone else- see if they'll enjoy it and make some more room on your shelf!

That's everything I can think of! Hope you guys are as awesome at life as I clearly am lol... and I'll see you tomorrow!

Byeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...
