Im in that stage of winter where I am 100% over it. Done, finished, 50 shades of no thank you.
Lucky for me, I have just enough neutrals to carry me over till the bright spring/summer hues arrive. If you are a color junkie like I am, this is a rare feat! I am so attracted to anything thats bright colorful or patterned that I often forget to snag neutrals and basics when shopping.
This scarf that I am wearing is one of my all [.....]
Perler beads were what started my addiction to create and craft. In kindergarten I used to make dozens of patterns with these little plastic beads and turn them into coasters for my dads office. The craft itself is simple and easy, but the possibilities are endless. When my nephews picked up interest in Perler beads this summer, I took advantage of this newfound interest and made some cute little Disney and Pixar magnets. They are easy, cheap, and totally adorable.

It always cracks me up when someone resents this holiday because [.....]
If you spend more than ten minutes with my boyfriend and I, you will quickly learn that we are huge Trader Joe fans and we try to convert everybody who doesn't already know about it.

The happiest place on earth is oh-so wonderful but also oh-so costly. With ticket prices rising every year every last dollar gets a little stretched when visiting Disneyland. We are planning a trip with our friends for spring break and going over the plans as a group I realized just how many freebies I pick up each visit. Park maps, buttons, stickers are all little things make me feel like I'm picking up itty bitty souvenirs with no cost.
They are so cute!! How can I resist?? [.....]
