Update

I got a letter telling me to come to the post office to pick something up!!! I think it's going to be my purse and I"m so excited! My hands are shaking hahah

A beautiful talent

As usual, I've been swamped with homework lately and instead of continuing to take notes for Psych, I'm going to procrastinate a bit. It's a great talent of mine.. So a few days ago, I switched out the furniture from the boy's room into my room because mum and dad were trying to clean it out and turn it into a nursery for Kira. They said they needed somewhere to put the furniture and I was like more room for clothes? Uh yeah I'll take it!

Excuse the paint colors, I haven't changed it since like the 5th grade hehe. After trying to organize my clothes and started to put them away, I scavenged through them again to try and get rid of some. Surprisingly after my first escapade of spring cleaning, I managed to fill up about 3 bags worth of some clothes and shoes. I'm in serious need of some pants, shorts, and summer tops now, but all well. And while cleaning out clothes, I decided to clean out some of my junk too. All of the painting and stuff that I have hanging around in my room were made by one of my sisters back in high school and they were hanging out in storage in the attic forever. Being a lover of arts, I knew it was horrifying to let unprotected canvas hangings stay in the humidity-filled, squirrel infested, junky attic. So, I rescued them. I also had a few of my things too, but I don't like any of them. I like art a whole lot, but compared to her stuff... 

This is my type of thing. In my 3-D art class in high school, creativity was encouraged which was a nice break from all the other classes I had. The first one was a project where we had to create a monster and have a story go along with it. Being the science buff that I am, I named my Prokar (short for prokaryotes)the Perfect Present. Long story short, it was a gift people could get for people as a last minute thing when they had no ideas. The gift turned evil and this monster was created. Sound stupid, but the story was epic. I'm going to have to see if I can dig it up anywhere and download it... The other project featured is where we had to make something out of stuff in a box. This was a pair of toddler shoes that I cut, glued, stabbed, and stapled together to create Jonah and the Whale. My favorite is the little lego guy in the middle with cotton ball hair and a toothpick staff haha.

This is from my 2-D art class, the first actual art class that I've ever had. I was always a 3-D girl, and never had to actually draw or paint stuff. It was super difficult. What is even better is my 3-D art teacher  recommended me and so they put me in like an AP class. I hadn't learned how to shade, draw faces, grid or whatever it's called. Ugh.. hardest thing I've ever had to do. This one was supposed to be realistic where we had to do something about 2 people... I don't remember. I didn't like it much. But I picked some random old guy which looked waaaay better in the actual picture I found on the internet, and I did Gandalf as the other one. I'm quite proud of Gandalf actually. I mean for someone who had never drawn anything in their entire life except for unrealistic penguins, it's pretty damn good.

Finger painting on the other hand, I must say I excelled lol. This is more my territory. Except for the road, I totally screwed that one up. But I'm going to have to feature some of my sister's paintings on here because they are absolutely beautiful.

Cobalt blue, dip-dye blouses, skulls, leopard print, shredded shorts, and summer colors.. I cannot wait

Merde.

So.. my attempt to wean off the shopping addiction isn't going so well right now. I did pretty good for while there where I saved majority of paycheck or used it towards gas or gave some to church or bought groceries.. But besides all of that, I was really good at saving. And a few days ago I even got whammed with this huge guilt wave of having such an abundance of clothes and shoes and handbags and stuff and just felt poopy about it. That is until I stopped by at the mall so I could go to the jewelers to get my ring fixed. One of the stores was having a Everything-Must-Go sale so they could get ready for the new season and I kind of bought something. Well, it was a lot of somethings. But I couldn't help it! Huge chunky knit sweaters were being sold for $6 a piece and with Kentucky weather being all over the place, we're in the middle of a cold spell and it seems like I'm always in a constant need of thicker sweaters. Anyways, sweaters were like $6 a piece and so I got like 3 of those, you could get a handful of panties for like $6 too so I got some of those along with a few new other undergarments. Let's see, what else? Tank tops! They had the cuuuutest tank tops with lace around it for $4 a piece and I got like 4 of those and a beautiful flowy white blouse, an army green pea coat for $12, and pair of mid-calf boots in a dark taupe color that have sherpa-type looking material on the inside and they are sooo comfy. They look like grunge boots, but I love them. And I got another pair of mid-calf boots that are plain black leather but completely covered in studs. They make me feel like a bad ass haha. I think that was about it and it all was less than $70 total which I think is pretty darn good. But now I'm running out of room for everything and I'm trying to get rid of stuff to make room, but I wear it all. And I'm just stuck in this weird love-hate cycle thing and just ugh... Stupid problems of a 19 year old. I hate being an adult.

new perspective

I don't know what has come over me lately, but I've just been filled with an overwhelming feeling of modesty and a bit of disgust. Boyfriend's life growing up hasn't been easy at all and after hearing all of his stories... I thought that I went through a few tough times, but after hearing his stories, it starts to put it all into a new perspective. I love clothes and fashion and designers and thinking outside of the box.. the list goes on and on. But now I feel guilty for having so much excess. I've gone through my closet a few times to clear out the things that I don't often wear and filled up a lot of bags to give to Goodwill and now I'm starting a new trek. After wearing an item of clothing (excluding pants/coats/undergarments) I of course wash it, but then I fold it up and put it in a bag. My goal is to wear everything in my closet at least once so I can get a better view on what items I really do need to get rid of. I know that I have a lot of clothes that I want to keep because they look so beautiful or because maybe one day that event will come when I'll need it.. We all know how that goes. Any who I guess the point is for right now that I'm a bit depressed from shopping. This of course coming a few hours after I already spent some money at Rue21 :(

Lush lust list

As usual, school and work have taken over my life again! The only difference between now and a couple years ago though is that I absolutely adore school. I love it! And what better place to look cute than at school? That was a total joke, I'm the jeans and t-shirt girl there and never will you ever see me in heels there because my school days are loooong. There are a few things that I have my eye on though and a couple things at work too, so we'll see what happens. And I'm still waiting for my first designer handbag to come as well! Hopefully it will be here in a couple weeks at the most, it feels like it has been freaking forever! Oh wait, it has been. Stupid shipping... 
 

Super odd assortment of shoes, but I really really like all of them.

Eyes. Lips. Face.

I usually don't have that much time to fix my face up all pretty, I usually just do my basic routine. I featured that in a post awhile back, but every now and then it is nice to dress up for a night out. One of my sisters got a huge pallet from TJ Maxx awhile ago that was ELF brand. I've heard of this brand a few times, but have only ever used some bronzer from the line because it was so inexpensive. This pallet is making me change my mind though.

I know that the desk is super messy and dirty, but I've had the lovely privilege to catch a cold and sore throat. Anyways, this thing is awesome because there are 3 layers to it! The first one has an array of eyeshadows.. I've already tried out like all of them haha. The second is a mixture of lipies and some blush and the third layer is complete with bronzer and some foundation/ cover up stuff. I've found out that some of it works wonderfully to create a nude lip effect too. I'll totally have to do some posts on different make up looks before too long.
