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!

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...

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...
