30 Days of Lists: March 2013

Hello! 

Happy (very, very belated) new year from my blog to you! As you can tell, I have been M.I.A. on here since Christmas of last year; my decision to go back to school has kept me quite busy these past couple months! However, I've made a personal goal to keep up with my creativity throughout the rest of this year, and as much as possible!

Next month, I am looking forward to completing the fourth round of 30 Days of Lists! If you have not heard about this little project yet, you're in for a treat! Every day for the month of March, a different topic will be prompted for you to make a list. Consider it as a  fun and easy way to get creative on a daily basis. Without any rules or right way to make your lists, you may create them in any form and however you please! In past rounds, I have tried making lists from scrapbooking techniques to using my iPhone. This year, however, I have decided to just use a plain ol' sketch book to doodle in every day!

If interested, there are still two weeks left to complete your registration! Head on over to 30daysoflists.com for more information. If you have any questions about my past experiences, please do not hesitate to comment below or email me!

Hello, Autumn

Hey y'all, it's fall, and I'm feeling good! There's nothing more complete to me than a chilly, fall afternoon with a cup of coffee in hand. Pumpkin spice coffee, to be exact!

{ ingredients }

>> 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

>> 1/2 tsp vanilla

>> 1 tbsp(ish) sugar or pure maple syrup 

>> 1 cup coffee

>> lite whip cream

The pure maple sugar was a great suggestion from someone I'll be trying next time. I hope you enjoy its yumminess as much as I do. This will save you several bucks from buying that Starbucks latte this season too! 

Thank God for this beautiful season!

Making Changes

OY! So I've decided to really get on top of my resolutions for this year. To start them off, I think this blog is a great place for making new changes. I really am planning to get better at posting (along with taking more pictures)...I pinky promise. I think it's been a couple weeks already since I last posted. Man does time really fly as you get older, ha! Along with my new blog update, I've also decided to redo my layout. Scott, my boyfriend, is currently reading more on building websites and using HTML...and until he is able to create a new layout for my blog, I am sticking to this one: a simple and functional template provided by Blogger! 

PICTURES FOR TODAY: I snapped several random photos of some of my favorite necklaces that I own, and a new shirt that I recently purchased (thanks to Nordstrom Rack)!

Keep in mind, this is only a small portion of the accessories I own.  Being that I worked in an accessory retail store for two years during college, it was hard not to pass off on my 50% employee discount! Oh the joy. ;) 

Let's see, I have a weekend off of work ahead, so let's hope for clear skies and sunshine! Wish you all a lovely rest of your week.
