Present Ideas

Christmas is only 2 months away and this is the time I usually start thinking about what to get or make for my loved ones. This year I'm looking for something different. I feel like everything has been done already. 

For co-workers one year I made baggies with cocoa mix, marshmallows, a hershey kiss, and a mini candy cane. But that was for the everyday person and not something I would make or give to my close friends. 
Here are some ideas I'd like to play with over the next couple of weeks to figure out if I can upgrade or make it my own. 


Homemade scrub


Chalkboard spray painted embossed champagne/wine bottles

 Handmade faux leather envelope clutch 

Time to go shopping for some supplies soon!

Simple Dea-Lite #12

After not being able to fall asleep for hours and browsing the internet I come across this adorable photo. 

 What's not to love? Frenchies are the cutest!!!

Inspiration

I have some of the most amazing friends who are continually there for me no matter what. 
They each inspire me in one way or another and I hope that I am able to do the same for them. 

My friends don't tell me what I want to hear, but instead tell me the truth. We may be mean girls sometimes (wedge wednesdays!) but we're all smart and respectful enough to know where to draw the line. Our cheeks hurt from laughing so much, we get emotional at times (hey we're girls you can't blame us), and we know how to have a great time! 

So here's to my girls, you each know who you are, and fuck off to the jealous bitches!

Beirut

Tonight I'm going to see Beirut at the Greek Theatre. 
I'm beyond excited for this and I'm really hoping it doesn't end up raining like they say it might. There's currently sun out so I'm hoping it continues that way. 
I've heard great things about this band when they play live. I can only imagine because when I listen to them there is already a magic to the music that being in the presence of this live show will not disappoint. (pending weather of course)

Enjoy one of my favorite songs from their newest album
