One Sentence.

I need to rest more often.

Thinking of Spring!

This bedroom's colors are fab!

I love all the Spring flowers and their scent!

Great Spring table-scape idea.

Perfect salad for a light Spring meal!

Adding Spring-colored pieces around the house is a must!

Spring Cleaning, of course. 

Beautiful sunny days that fill the house with lots of light!

Pink cake. Pink everything!

Today I went to the mall and bought my signature scent: So Pink from the Gap. (Apparently, I haven't been to the Gap or the mall enough because I literally walked into the store thinking 'Oh, they have cute stuff...what store is this?' What the what?) I haven't had So Pink in a very very long time. Hence, the previous 'what store is this' comment! I LOVE SO PINK! It immediately gave me spring fever and good feelings and great memories! Isn't weird how scents can do that? I'm loving it and am so glad to be reunited with my long lost signature scent! Do you have a signature scent? Are you thinking Spring yet? Happy Tuesday!

Wallpapering a Do or Don't?

I am SO loving the new, hip, and current trend of wallpaper. From covering just one wall, to covering an entire room in a loud, vibrant, patterned cover, the trend is alluring! We are in an apartment right now, so wallpaper isn't an option. However, when we buy a house...who knows! Is it a do or a don't in you'r book? Which styles and patterns do you like? Are you a one wall kinda girl or do you enjoy the decadent look of wallpapering a whole room? 

Here's a pattern I could see making a statement in a room...subtle but interesting.

One Sentence.

It is great to acknowledge my weaknesses, that way, I give room to improve them.  

On a lighter note...

This just crack's me up!

One Sentence.

Taking time to enjoy the little things is monumental.

A cabin near here would be good.

One Sentence A Day?

So, I just heard of a journaling technique that consists of just writing one sentence a day. To be brief, on the Tiny Devotions website-which is rad-I stubbled upon their blog. One topic they discussed was this journal. I love the idea! One sentence, each day. Seems easy enough! I'm thinking about posting my one sentence everyday on here, or maybe I'll just keep it more personal? What do you think? Is that a type of journaling that YOU could commit to? Should I post mine? ...curious!

P.S. Part of the reason this caught my attention at all is because my dad journals. I am so very grateful for his journaling! He will be giving his journals to me when he passes (no time soon, hopefully). I've always wanted to journal but it's always felt very overwhelming and too much. One sentence though, I think I can do!

P.S.S Tiny Devotion's Mala Beads are amazing and beautiful! I want one!

Black and White/ Weekend Exploring!

A non-decorating Friday post...life, in Black and White. 

*On a side note, Kurt and I have been talking about what we will do when our kids get old enough to go on little dates. Kurt, "I'll drive them to the movies and make sure there is no touching at any point in time and the whole way there I'll play the song Sam Hall..." Wow, he's gonna be a no joke scary awesome dad! Love him so much more!

Gin and Tonic, anyone?

Sweet.

A little graphic I know-but how awesome!

I go on dates with this guy all the time! :)

Rustic.

How my bike looks now.

The best moments in the world!

Here are the lyrics to "Sam Hall"...'nuff said: After the jump!

By candlelight

Today I lit some candles throughout the apartment during plain daylight! This may be common to some, but I usually refrain until it's dark outside and more than just my lowly-self is wandering through the place. I enjoyed the scent and knowing that a type of "life form" (being fire) is present. Having the elements around you-water, fire, wind, sun-makes you (me) feel alive and not alone. I think that's why getting outside during the winter months is so important. You feel the wind, you may or may not see the sun...etc. 

What do you think? Do you have a mini fountain around? Do you light candles during the day when you're alone? Do you go for walks to feel the sun and wind? I'm super excited to have this new discovery! :) It may seem silly but the elements really do make me feel less alone! Interesting. 

Foodie am I.

Epicurious 
Food and Wine...
...I'm making a whole duck tonight...
oh. my.

We shall see!

Hair.

It seems like everyone is doing a new 'do lately. New Years, new resolutions, new hair...I suppose! Since I've finally gotten my hair the length I want it, I now am thinking about making a little change. I will probably wait a few more months simply to enjoy the length of my hair right now, but eventually I will cut it to something like...

This...

What do you think? Short, long, blonde, or brunette! Ah the choices!

You and Tequila

This song gets me every time. The vintage style, the haunting lyrics, and easy melody. Beauty.
Plus, I think Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are pretty awesome:

What songs/people are you loving at the time? I'm always looking for my newest musical addiction! :)

New Couch.

So because I am a freak of nature, my dear husband and I carried this thing in ourselves and politely scoffed at the idea that we would pay someone to deliver it...my arms and back still hurt. Ha!










p.s. sorry for the poor quality in picture...
