Apothecary Jars

This is a wonderful trend in decorating!

You can fill these with objects (sand, potpourri, shells etc), food, or colored water!

Living room inspiration

♥ oh how i love thee, lime green ♥

[these appeal to my eclectic sense of style]

I'm loving how much white there is and the print on those antique chairs!!!

BUT I would add a little more black or grey to the over-all scheme.

Piercings & Dresses!

I am in LOVE with this DRESS!!!
[fancypants]

I'm saving up for these dermals!!!

Apartment Musings

[futon]

[sofa]

The idea of decorating my apartment however I please is super exciting!!!

I have so many ideas for decor...

- Make or buy vintage nightstands [craigslist or thrift store]

- Get a small "condo couch," or an awesome, sleek futon [like pictures above!]. Something guaranteed to fit in a small space!

- Paint 3 large watercolors for my bedroom

- Paint a giant acrylic for my livingroom

- Make a Jewelry frame/stand [wire mesh or lace insert]

- "Craft table" and storage....... [i have no idea how/what to use] [for my makeup station]

- Easel for painting [craigslist or thrift store]

:D :D :D :D :D

These are things I am SO willing to save up tons of money for!!! My couch will be my first big furniture purchase. Yummy!

I will be trying to get a one bedroom apartment thats under $500 a month... however I want a good amount of square footage (550 sq ft+), in a nice neighborhood, so I might be spending more like $600..... hmmm..... I wish I was less picky.....

Retro Kitchen

Im not sure what theme I'll do for my right-now-non-existent new kitchen.... maybe retro?

Or if not retro, at least COLORFUL!

The "D-word"

We are seperating. for good. which means the d-word.

i am so sad and dissapointed.

my happiness level went from 25(slightly optimistic about the relationship) to -50 in about 4 hours.



the only thing good about this is that he doesnt hate me. he still cares about me as a friend, at least. which sucks, but I can deal with that better than hatred.....

Wish List

Today is my birthday, so this is my wish list

[1] tons of t-shirts with v-necks and scoop necks in every color

[2] red shoes for my retro romper ♥

[3] a house of my own to decorate!

[4] a studio room where I can draw and paint!

[5] red lipstick that looks good on me!!!!!!!

Have a lovely day!

Room Design Addict!

Save me please!!! I so badly want to paint/decorate a room!

I want my living room to be black, white, grey with quite a bit of lime green accents and a few plum purple accents.

My inspiration:

I love the antique furniture!

I LOVE these colors!

and these are just rooms i like...

I can't wait to have my own place to decorate as I want.

Mission: Discover My Passion - Phase 1, Deliberating!

Discovering my passion....

aka "finding a purpose in life"

my husband told me I should find a passion for something...

now I am deliberating...

[1] i want to work at a salon, hairstyling and meeting new people

[2] i want to make some decent money at selling Avon - i love their stuff & i want to share that with people!

[3] the idea of blogging really fascinates me, i've just been putting it off because i didn't think that this was a good time in my life to start.

[3 a] but any time is a good time!

[4] i freaking love fashion blogs, but i never felt like my clothes were "good enough" (i work on a very limited budget)

[4 a] but hey, there are people out there who DO want to see the bargain outfits (rather than look at a blog about

a $2,000 purse from Channel and think "I could get an amazing computer with that money!" or "I could use

that for my kids college fund!")

[5] i am DEFINITELY interested in an art class!!! Clay/pottery or Watercolors! those are my favorite mediums!!

[5 a] but those will come later because they are expensive & i am jobless right now.... hopefully not for too much

longer! (I just started avon, so i'm not making a ton of money at it yet)

[6] while i'm not crazy about exercise itself, i am crazy about the end result! i want to keep up with exercising so i can have a smokin' hot bod!

[6 a] i will be walking every day, then do a cardio class mondays, pilates & yoga classes tuesdays and thursdays,

and a zumba dance class on fridays or saturdays

i think this is a good place to start.

i'm willing to try other things along the way, but these are my main goals!

wish me luck!
