So I recently took a trip up to the family cottage in Michigan. It just so happens that the cottage is full of little trinkets that you can spend hours exploring and looking at. I decided that I would capture some of my favorite objects and scenes around the house and share them with you guys today! Dirt and all! I hope you enjoy!

Hello beautiful people!
I'm back with another post about great art and great artists! The next few pieces you will see are by the artist Dan-ah Kim. I am just obsessed with her art! One because it has cats. Two because it has plants. And three because those girls are rocking those granny panties! I just happened to fall in love with this little series of illustrations, but she has tons and tons listed on her website which you can view, I will go ahead and link her website below. I hope you love these pieces as much as i do! Who wouldn't! They are absolutely adorable!
Enjoy!

Hello lovelies!
I'm very excited to spotlight some amazing illustrations! All of the illustrations I am going to feature in this post were created by Vanessa Van Meerhaeghe. I will of course will link her Flikr and Blog down below where you can find all of her work!
I was originally attracted to the way she illustrated the hair within her work. Though seeing more and more of her work, her subjects are also quite interesting! I'll post more below this text so you can see why I find the subjects themselves to be so interesting. Her limited color palette is also eye catching in her pieces. I will go ahead and post some of my favorite works done by her so you can explore and hopefully find a favorite of your own!
Enjoy!
There are many other sites in which you can find her work as well!

Hi Everyone!
I'm back with another flick that I think is absolutely adorable! Do you love romance movies? But what about out there romance movies! Because what's better than a little interesting twist? Well here it is! I of course don't want to give any crazy information away so I will talk about what I think about it and hopefully you'll be intrigued to give it a try! I love independent movies so when I saw this I just had to send it out into the world as a recommendation! Not to mention, the sound track is golden. I love a movie with a fabulous soundtrack! Although it follow the boy meets girl type of structure it definitely does it in a memorable way. So in conclusion ill definitely have to give it a thumbs up!
I really do hope you all take time to check out even the trailer or the soundtrack because it's fantastic.
Enjoy!
Happy Tuesday!

What's up everyone!
I'm back with a little product suggestion! I picked this up a week ago and gave it a little trial run so I can give my opinion on it! I was walking around Whole Foods and I wont lie, the packaging caught my eye. It looks clean and healthy. I've been using Ponds moisturizer for years and wanted to switch up my products a bit! So low and behold!
So let's get into my review!
It'll be short and sweet for all you readers!
It may or might not be a positive, but it is fragrance free!
At first I thought it would smell extremely earthy and fresh (it says fragrance free) though I was surprised when it didn't.
I do like the way it makes my skin feel, it's definitely not irritating at all and leaves my face feeling thoroughly cleaned. Although it does say it doesn't dry, it leaves my skin feeling a little bit dried. Nothing a little moisturizer can't fix. That is honestly the only thing I have to complain about. I wanted to use this instead of other moisturizers, so it sort of destroys the point of using it.
The packaging does say it is for all skin types.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this product! My skin feels so clean after using it, also, any breakouts I had in the past week have nearly disappeared.
The price is sort of steep, or it may not be, 13.99. Or on sale on Amazon for 12 and some cents. I linked the listing for Amazon under the picture above.
I hope you enjoy the product as much as I have!
Happy Thursday all!
Hello Lovlies!
I'm back with a little inspiration! With the weather getting nicer and nicer, the
opportunity to get back to some DIY's is approaching. I found some great ideas while surfing Pinterest this weekend. I decided to share some lovely projects you guys can do yourself at home with just some simple plywood and a couple other tools and supplies! Each picture will have a link to where you can find the source or how to! But these are of course just some inspirations! I'll hopefully be back with my take on the projects! Yay! Enjoy!

I wanted to start off with this lovely plywood headboard!
I was looking at buying a new bed frame but wanted something a little blended in, simple, and of course, cheap! Just thought this was a great statement piece with a little bit of practicality.

Isn't this just fantastic? It's an amazing way to dress up a plain mirror! Lucky for me, I have one of these mirrors just sitting around
. It's not quite tall enough sitting alone so when I found this DIY, I was ecstatic. Not to mention! It comes with all directions so you know exactly what to do and what you need! Yay for directions!

I know this isn't a DIY, boo. But it's absolutely beautiful and I know that I can get ahold of some scrap wood and make my own version! I'm a huge umbra fan so when I saw this, I was in love. Of course you can always follow the link under the photo to amazon for this! Though it being over 70 dollars made me and my wallet shiver. Maybe one day...
There are course so many beautiful DIY plywood projects you can take on! I'm just posting a very select few of my favorites! Hopefully I can get myself up and about to get these projects completed! I will definitely post them up here if they do go successful! If not..whoopsie!
Happy Monday all! Sending lots of love!

My Review:
Like some, I need noise to work or else my mind goes off into lala land and my work remains undone. Well as I was sitting in my school cafeteria a really close friend mentioned this app and explained what it was. I thought it was a cool idea but decided "ya know what! I can use the sound around me and get the same effect." Well, jokes on me, as I sat there listening to girls sing Rihanna and boys screaming about heck knows what, I found myself not even understanding what in the world I was reading. So, after losing all train of thought I downloaded the app. And wow, I actually enjoyed the Morning Murmur setting more than I ever thought possible. How is this possible? Well apparently having background noise makes you more productive, and for me, not being able to eavesdrop on the talkers in the murmur made it even better. Instead of focusing on others words I was now able to focus on what I was reading. I also aced the quiz on the reading an hour after! Wooh! What is better than that? It's been a week since I downloaded the app and I still use it while writing papers and having to read. I do prefer having music on while I'm doing less involved work but having no actual audible words truly does help me work and focused!
Where can you get this app?
At the moment this app is available for Android and Apple devices.
But alas! There is a knock off for Windows as well!
Even if you don't have an app store or want to opt out for a computer version, they have a website here which offers the same sounds and you can even buy new ones! Hooray!
I hope you all are able to try out this lovely little device and end up loving it! Cheers!
Hello everyone!
I am beyond excited because my new Rebel Canon T5i just got delivered! I have absolutely no skill in photography and no experience in any other camera besides my phone camera! A little sad? Possibly! But exciting? Absolutely! I went ahead and tried it out on some little items around my room just to see what I'm working with!
The top left corner is a mirror end, the top right is my grass pens, bottom left is my crochet rug, and the bottom right is a little sneak of my mugs and my favorite plate!
I absolutely adore the quality of the camera and just wanted to share some first take pictures!
Enjoy! And Happy Wednesday!

Capsule Cleanout
Just a little cleanout! Hope you guys enjoy and gets some simple ideas!
I'll have to be honest with all of you, I saw several hundreds of commercials on this movie and always thought meh, seems sort of boring. Well while I was on vacation my whole family voted to watch this movie and I simply just shrugged and decided to give it a try. I mean, Anne Hathaway is usually fantastic in most movies, so why not this one? Not only was Anne Hathaway a fantastic actor in the movie (of course), I actually fell in love with the plot. Of course I don't want to drop any spoilers for you! Even though I am not in the situation the characters are in or most likely never will be, I still felt really connected. The movie actually combines comedy, love, family, and reality extremely well. Real life movies are always my favorite so this just added the list of movies I will keep on my shelf of "winners". I encourage you all to give the movie a try, it'll definitely make you want to grab a fresh pot of hot coffee! That's for sure!
