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!

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...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
