Happy Birthday!

Oh yes, my birthday was yesterday. I almost forgot. I'm 22 and yet I still feel 14.

I spent the day with my best and a few friends at the beach. We had a beachnic with cheese, crackers, chips, and apricot beer. The sun peeked out for a bit. It was relaxing even though it windy and we got kicked off the beach. It was still fun. All was not lost because we went to Bettys Burger and had sweet potato fries and burgers. So worth it.

Oh btdubs, did I ever tell you? I have the bestest bff ever. She knows me like no other and ever time we hang out my face hurts from laughing. That's love for sure.



That's her! I hope she uploads pictures from the beach so that I can steal them because I don't have any. Sadface.

Giveaway!

A super cute bunny necklace could be yours! Or mine! Enter today!

Weekend Inspiration

I think I might just have to have a daughter so that I can design her bedroom this way.



Love that valance.



Tiffany blue!



Love the white drapes.

Exhaustion

"Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow."

- Doug Firebaugh

"Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be."

So it's obvious I have high expectations for myself. But now I see that it's slowly killing me. I'm so exhausted from work. I work early and I leave late. Last night was another 12 hour day. I don't mind it really, I enjoy working. For the most part I enjoy what I do and the people I interact with. I just wish there was more time in the day for the things I want to do when I go home.

I come home really late though, usually around 9 or 10 even. This gives me about half an hour to eat, to unwind a little, shower and then off to bed. I don't even turn on my computer at home anymore. I don't get to watch tv, or listen to music, or exercise (which I really need to do).

It's to the point where I come home feeling like a glass of wine will calm me down (which means I'm an old lady).

I just need to remember that I can't do everything in one day, as much as I want to. Like one of my co-workers said, nobody expects you to finish it today unless they give you a deadline. I just have to let that go.

I'm hoping this weekend will let me relax and do the things I want to do. But I know that when I come back Tuesday, there's going to be a lot to do.

Trust

“ We accept the graceful falling
Of mountain cherry blossoms,
But it is much harder for us
To fall away from our own
Attachment to the world. ” — Rengetsu

You're going through tough times right now.
But you aren't alone. You won't have to face it alone.
We have to stay positive.
Hope for the best.
Trust that everything will work out.
Pray and never lose faith.
I'll always be here for you.

Sleep

I love these. I have a thing for lounge-y pajamas and since it is so warm, these are very appropriate. These are all from Forever21! Don't they look nice!

I'm in love with this blog. It's so pretty just looking at it. She covers all the things I like, fashion, illustration, crafts, design-- you know, all the good stuff in life. She has freebies of cutie labels you can use to re-organize your life.

Check it out here.

Star Trek

So I'm defs not a Trekkie, and I've never actually watched the show, except the one episode with the Tribbles. But this movie was awesome.

It had the right amount of action, romance, comedy. It was well made and it made me want to understand the rest of the Star Trek universe, which probably won't happen, but you never know.

You don't have to be a Trekkie to enjoy this movie. Plus it doesn't hurt that the cast is all so attractive. Who knew that pointy ears could be so enticing. Haha.

These are pretty amazing. What a few dollars of fabric and paint can do.
