Tiny Embroidery Hoop Decor

Posted on

I don’t remember why I bought these tiny embroidery hoops, but I’m sure at the time I had some kind of project in mind. It was so long ago that the right side of my brain basically reset and thought to do something cute for my current apartment.
I created this bigger hoop with a “galaxy scene” for a class project from a bunch of years ago. I brought it back into my life by incorporating it into my living room a couple of weeks ago and decided to do some kind of “galaxy thing” for the tiny hoops.

A Truly Nasty Entertainment List

Posted on

I’ve had the word nasty on my mind a bit too much lately. Thanks, Trump!
I composed a list of things I’ve been into that could be more on the nasty side than innocent. Lots of things I’d consider goodies here!

TV SERIES

✪ Ash VS Evil Dead ↴
An awesome revival of the hit cult horror movie series Evil Dead. After tuning in last year to the series premiere on Halloween night, I was immediately hooked. The gore and dialogue has such a cheesy feel, but it’s more of a modern spoof on the old movie series. I recommend this so much if you don’t mind some gore and guts. Bruce Campbell is such a hunk 😛 The cast is great, and Lucy Lawless is my badass homegirl. I’ve become addicted to this show.

The Fanny Pack Debate

Posted on

01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | 05 | 06 | 07 | 08

Fanny packs get such a bad rep. Don’t you think?

Here’s the thing, they’re just the most perfect concept! You have a bag around your waist – not on your back giving you back pains, not hanging off your shoulder where you worry about it sliding off, and not in your hands where you get tired of holding it. Fanny packs keep your hands free, and there’s enough space for you to actually store things as opposed to a small clutch or just your pockets. I just don’t understand where we went wrong with this concept.

Quick Trip To Parris Island

Posted on

Last week my family embarked on a bit of a painful road trip down south. My older brother, after two years of trying to make things happen, was accepted into the marines back in September. His graduation from bootcamp was Friday, and instead of flying, my parents wanted to drive down.

The trip itself was kinda brutal, especially since we left at night and we were all fighting to keep whomever was driving awake.

Tarot To-Go // November 28 – December 04

We’ve got a lot of inner work to do if we’re going to be ready for the New Moon this week.

Monday 11/28

Monday provides us the right kind of energy to face our own SHADOW. What are our dark aspects and light aspects? How do some of your less-than-reputable qualities balance out with your great ones? What can we learn from our shadows and reflections of ourselves (and others)?

My Thankful List

Posted on

I know I’m two days late with posting my gratitude and thankfulness on Thanksgiving Day, but one thing I’ve become especially thankful for was to know when to take a step back and feel okay with missing a day or two of blog posting. Because let’s face it, stress sucks, and when you’re tired, who has the will power to do something such as put together a blog post? It’s taken me a long time to be okay with that. Responsibilities make me feel guilty, but some things are no longer worth the stress. I’m living life, and I’m thankful to be able to do so.

The things I’m especially thankful and appreciative for is having my loving family, to have had the chance to spend time with my aunt before she passed, my supportive friends, easy going roommate, stressful but rewarding job, and cute apartment.

Some other recent trivial things I’ve been thankful for include:

If you saw on Instagram, I attended a Powerpuff Girl pop-up shop over the weekend. It was to promote some kind of avatar app to #PowerpuffYourself. I haven’t found the details of the app, but it was a fun shop to attend.

Monday 11/21

Looks like we will be starting this week off with a case of the Mondays! While BOREDOM & DISCONTENT doesn’t appear to be an exciting card on the surface, it’s actually a reminder that when life takes a trip to Snoozeville, it’s time to look around you at what you have. I mean, you’re a living, breathing, creature who is sitting on a rock floating around in the vast nothingness of space, so. If you’re bored then you’re boring. Turn around and see what is!

Entertainment List

Pop Words // Nasty

Posted on

Since the third presidential debate where Trump shared his infamous wisdom about bad hombres and Hillary being a nasty woman, the internet exploded with all things supporting nasty women. It for sure sparked a feminism movement. I’m personally kinda secretly thankful Donald Trump ran for president because it brought to light a lot of issues we have in our country and a good chunk of the country recognizes how much work we have to do to fix these misogynist, racist, and homophobic problems.

01. But back to nasty women, immediately after the debate women everywhere got to work making shirts, pins, patches, and art expressing how much of nasty women they are. Because, you know, nasty women get things done. It’s a true statement.

Modern Love Notes

It seems according to the internet that graffiti is on the rise with people expressing their love or hate for Trump.
Lucky for me, I can still come across genuine NYC graffiti minus Trump’s name, because his name doesn’t need to be on everything.

Living in Queens, I don’t come across as much graffiti as when I visit Brooklyn. So whenever I’m in the Brooklyn neighborhoods, I make sure to take as many pictures as I can. Although not all of these are in the BK ‘hood, so I can’t give them all the credit!
