Just a quick post for a rainy Tuesday morning.
Three things on my mind.
Breaking Bad
I know, I know everyone and their great Aunt Sally has been talking about this show, chickie just won an Emmy, and it is all coming to a close this weekend. I am a super late band wagon jumper. It took me a year to finally have enough stamina to stick it out through the first few seasons, but now I am super obsessed. I finished season 4 in twenty four (ahem, I'm not ashamed) hours. If all goes as planned, this week will wrap up season 5 and I will marathon the beejezus out of the current season and experience the finale with the rest of the world.
To Knit or Not To Knit
I decided the other day, that every modern merrymaker needs a skill. Since cooking is far away from ever being my forte... I thought a hobby would suffice. I needed a break from my Candy Crush obsession and you can knit while you watch massive amounts of Netflix (see first paragraph!)
I consulted my extremely multi-talented mother and asked her to teach me to knit.
Really, it's genius. I love the idea of making chunky knit scarves and ear warming headbands for everyone in the most lovely autumn shades! It is the little things in life.
Stay tuned, it is going well... just slooooooowly.
The Great Perfume Hunt
I'm on a hunt for a new scent. I just hate going in to department stores for one, because all of the smells are very overwhelming and often... headache inducing. Do any of my little chickens have perfume suggestions? I like more floral, light tones. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and order the One Direction engineered parfum. It is worth buying if it attracts Harry Styles.
I'm kidding... kinda.
Thanks for reading! :)
Happy 2-for-1 margarita day!
I've never been a fan of Valentine's day...
for the conventional reasons. While I think bouquets of red roses are beautiful, I get really sad when they die & you have to empty out the murky, weird water. I would rather be gifted a bag of sweet 'n sour Twizzlers than a box of chocolates filled with unidentifiable liquids inside. But alas- I'm a sucker for all things heart-shaped in the delectable color scheme that is pink, purple, and red... so even though Ryan Gosling did not (yet) accept my rose this year, all is not lost. Here are some gifts safe to gift any gal on February 14th- whether it be mother, sister, wife, BFF, teacher, coworker, post woman, etc, etc.
You don't have to be pro-Valentine's day to enjoy some pink pampering and a some ruby bling, ladies!
One: Flora by Gucci (Gift Set) | Check out the newest fragrance that this merrymaker is super obsessed with. It's described as sensual and intense on the website... so what screams Valentine's Day more than that?! Top notes of peonies are a plus.
Two: Stila Valentine's Day Palette: | I'm a sucker for Stila products right now, and this gorgeous powder blush with gold shimmery LOVE on top is tugging on my heart strings. Perfect gift for your big (or little) sister. Hint hint ; )
Three: West Mama Designs: You're Neat Card: |Etsy is full of handmade cards that I want to buy, put in cute frames, and add to a gallery wall! Why not find a cutesy one (whiskey lovers, hello!?) to gift to someone you love! Keep it as a card, or frame it to keep it forever.
Four: Lipstick Queen Look Of Love Set: | Three great shades of pink, designed by Poppy King, that can be used alone or paired together to create a custom look of love!
Five: Ruby and Garnet Heart Stacking Rings: | Another Etsy score brings the happiness and lovely spirit of Valentine's Day that can be enjoyed 365 days a year! Stacked rings are huge right now, and I love love love garnets!
