Target Tuesday: Target Room Refresh

Okay so this is an exciting post that I've been kind of wanting to do for a while... it's a room refresh and since a lot of the things I got are from target... I figured I'd do it for Target Tuesday. I'll show some other things too... but I won't share where its from if it's from the chain of stores I work at... just to keep it private I guess.

Threshhold Bins

This is basically what inspired the whole project... I wanted to clear off one of my bookshelves from the dvds that were on it... and I wanted to add bins so that I could put the clothes I'm wearing for the next day in one of the bins.

And I didn't exactly know what types of bins I wanted... but when I saw these $10 bins from Threshhold at my target store I knew these were perfect!!! So I got 3 of them because there were 3 bins available and I really only needed 3. I have this other drawer organizer storage that I also got from Target years ago that I knew fit in these bookshelf cubbies... so I knew I didn't need a 4th one and... yeah. This matches the colors of my wall PERFECTLY so it really adds some nice pops of colors and flowers into my bedroom... I was So excited to find these! They look so good!

So basically the top shelf one is almost empty to fit my clothes I'm wearing the next day, plus some bras, some socks and the purse I'm using at the time if it fits. Or my pajamas when I'm actually wearing the clothes. Lol. The other 2 are filled with notebooks, coloring books, and supplies for cardmaking and other things.

Room Essentials 3 Tier Storage Carts (with wheels)

So I got this one bookshelf from Target thinking it would just fit... it didn't fit so then I saw these Rolling Carts that looked like they would do the trick and... they really do! I have some other rolling carts from Costco... but I thought these would add just a little bit of extra storage that I kind of wanted just in case I need some more space for books or dvds or notebooks. I actually liked the first one so much I ended up getting a second one. The first one I didn't put the wheels on because like I said- I do have 2 other rolly carts from Costco with wheels and this was just kind of for a small addition right by my door. It works really well and it looks really great!

And the other one I did put wheels on because it helps I guess to be able to maneuver it when you have a small space. I use this one as a nightstand and it works well. Heads up... the wheels don't really stay in that well. There is no real way to screw them in or tighten them so... they're just kind of in there and if you run over something... it might pop off.

Bullseye's Playground Finds

Everyone's been talking about these tiny shelves... and they're nice. I don't really have much to put on them right now- but I put it on the wall and put some crystals that I got at Francescas on there. I might look for more crystals to put there because I like crystals and I think this is a nice way to display them.

I also have these 2 wire baskets that I hung on my wall actually. I have this whiteboard calendar that I got at the place I work at and I put some extra Expo Dry Erase Markers in them, as well as the Expo cleaning solution and my expo eraser. And in the other one I have my deodorant and some Bath and Body Works Sprays.

On my desk I have some envelope holders from Bullseye's Playground that match the wire baskets. I really like how these look. They're just cute and chic and... I just really like them a lot. I have some notebooks in there.

Non Target items

So I found this cool bookshelf thing at work. I think it's like a magazine rack- but I put some books on it right now... it's really great! It fits right by my door and it fits sooo much stuff on it. I actually wish I had seen this before I got one of the second rolly cart bookshelf because it's a bitt too much furniture... but I still like it a lot!

I also got a record player! This is really fun- I got this from Walmart. I got my boyfriend a Victrola one from the store I work at... and then I saw this one on sale at Walmart... so I boight one for myself because I liked his so much! This is from Crosley- not Victrola... but I like it so far! It's cute and it's chill... and pink! I'll post more about my record collection and maybe do a review of this sometime soon.

I also got this really cool color changing salt lamp from the store I work at... it has a remote so you could keep it one color- multi colored or turn it on and off easily... I love this thing!

I think there's more I got as some kinds of decor... but I forget... But overall Loving how everything looks and how well everything works and functions.

It's just really easy and... I like it a lot.

Bye!

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...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
