Have I ever told you...

... about my obsession with Disney?

Yup. I'm a Disney nut. I've got it bad. 

I have all my VHS tapes at college with me and I use to pop em in when I was doing things around the apartment. The only reason I don't anymore is because I'm usually not home long enough to watch one. I know almost the whole script of Tarzan, Hercules, and Aladdin because of this. {I'm proud.} When I'm at home, I fall asleep to the Disney channel at night and I once had a dream that I was Hannah Montana because of this. I love Wizards of Waverly Place. And yes, I really am 22 years old. 

I'm a little bit ashamed. But I kinda only say that because I know people my age want me to. {I kinda love it actually...} 

Do have any embarrassing things that not a lot of people know about?

Tea and Tell ♥

Little late this week but better than never right? :) 

I have some fun tea that I got from Tealuxe at the mall. 

It's pretty. That's right. Pretty tea. Just look:

Starts as this weird lil ball thing... then...

Magic!

It's called "Peach Momotaro" and it's delicious.

You can also go to Tealuxe and just taste free samples. That's fun too :) 

I have more updates later! Pinky promise.

Birthday Wishlist

Just some things I'm wishing for on my birthday {Tuesday}... :)



A couple macarons. Love them. Maybe I'll make some...



I started reading this book on my mom's iPad when I was home. Instant love.
Cause you all know how I want to live on a farm someday, right?

The Big Bang Theory Series. This show cracks me up and they just don't have many episodes online. I started watching it in Argentina, surprisingly, but I loved it instantly. 

A wall mount for my guitar. Now, I don't have a super cool Fender Stratocaster like the person who took this photo does {jealous.} BUT my guitar is pretty too. And I think she should be on a wall. {Her name is Rosalee. And I have two others but this would be for her.} 

*sigh* Just love.



Gahhhh!!

Also wishing for a wonderful garment to show on Tuesday for my knitting crit, a wonderful print to show on Wednesday for my print crit and a wonderful tapestry to show Friday for my weaving crit. Also, a good outcome at the Spring Sale this Saturday. Yup. I'm busy this week... maybe I'll celebrate my birthday in a week.


I can't really think of anything else I would like. Besides something like this:



But a knitting machine is kind of out of the question at this point.
{And yes, that's a knitting machine for those of you who have never seen one. And yes, they are amazing and sooo fun. Doesn't it look like a piano keyboard?}


Or this:

But again... ya know.

Or this:

But all of these things are just far down the road.

Someday maybe. For now, they are on my "if only wishlist" :)

What are you wishing for?

Mus-ak

So over at Malori's blog she's vloggin' away and talking about music today. I thought - Self, {remember this is how I start every convo with myself} ok. *ahem* Self, you like music. You should post music stuff. 

So here I am, posting some of my recent YouTube finds cause I like em. You should too. :)

So this one has a little intro but soooo worth listening. Love them.

This one is pretty chill. :) 

These are a couple of my friends. I've been going to listen to their band - The Sugar Honey Iced Tea- in Providence and I was looking for a video but couldn't find one I could share on here/I don't know how to if I could... But you should go like them on Facebook cause they're super cute and watch the videos they do have there. :)

These people are just amazing singers. I always come back to this video. *sigh*

This one is silly/awesome. I think so anyway. 

Hope you like some of what I listen to! I have a pretty varied taste as you can see but I like it :) 

What are you listening to?

Tea and Tell ♥

Peppermint tea tonight!

The one I'm drinking is by Traditional Medicinals. Peppermint aids in digestion and my stomach has been kinda funky lately {...not going into details...} so I figured it would be a good idea to get some and drink it up! Plus it's super yummy :) 

And as for taste - this one is pretty strong and very peppermint-y. Some peppermint teas are a bit lighter but I think because this one is specifically for medicinal purposes, they packed it in and strong. I don't mind though! {That being said, you don't need a "medicinal" peppermint tea for the same effect. A lighter peppermint tea will still do the job.}

What are you drinking tonight?

Things I'm Lovin'

Whew! Have I been busy! This week has gone by sooo quickly.

But these are the things I'm lovin' this week.



1. This dress that Elsie wore. Oh. My. Obsessed.



2. This photo found here. Amazing color and composition.



3. I've been so obsessed with this song this week.

 

4. This is amazing. My two worlds just collided.



5. Laura of Violet Bella just made this and I totally support it. I especially support how she used that energy in a creative way. Props Laura.






6. Love her dress/hair/shoes/she'ssofreakingadorable. Love the style. Plus she plays guitar and sings too so she's super cool.




7. Roasted strawberries? Um. Yum.
Found here. From here.




8. Soooo excited for Kirsten over at Studs and Pearls. She has been getting a ton of deserved attention lately. Plus check out this cute DIY she just made.



9. This tattoo etiquette post by Kaelah at Little Chief Honeybee. Great post.



 

10. And if anyone is having a party, you should probably go here for some DIY inspiration. These hats are not the only incredibly adorable thing there. 


Have a lovely day!

Awesome Idea

I don't know about any of you, but I really like gardening. When I was younger, I would walk over to my neighbor's house after school, who was an avid gardner, and she would teach me about her thousands of plants. {literally thousands. Or it seemed that way.} It was *such* a great experience and I learned so much from her.

Now, I like to grow my own plants. It just makes a place feel more like home to me. And growing food is so rewarding! It's sooo nice when you go outside and *finally* see some edible stuff hanging from the vines that you nurtured and then eating it is the best part because it always tastes soooo much better than buying it. Just because you grew it. 

Okay, so enough with my talking about how great it is to grow your own plants. {it really is...} I just wanted to point out this super cool idea. I have been thinking about containers I can start seeds in and I didn't want to buy one because I figured I had stuff lying around that I could use in the apartment {egg cartons, plastic bottles, food containers, etc.} but I never thought of using a citrus peel! So cool!

The article is on Readymade and it's such a great idea I just had to share.

Happy gardening!

Welcome to my new feature: Tea and Tell!

It's sorta like "show and tell" but with tea. And mostly me doing the showing. And telling.

I'm quite the tea drinker. Drink it 24/7 and multiple cups per day. So why not talk about it? 

Each Sunday I'll have a different tea to drink and talk about. I'm no connoisseur and it won't be all fancy. Just me drinkin' some tea. 

Today, I'm drinking Darjeeling tea. It's a lighter black tea that I drink for just a little kick of energy when I need it. Or when I want some black tea taste and not too much caffeine. I've read that it's the "champagne of black teas". {Oooooo} I kind of feel fancy drinking it because of that. 

The box says: "Fine black tea from the foothills of the Himalayas expertly blended to deliver a delicate tea with a slightly sweet taste and fragrant aroma." If that doesn't sum it up for ya, I don't know what would. 

I hope you like my new feature!

Have a wonderfully tea filled Sunday!

p.s. That hair style is called: Kenzie-just-woke-up-from-a-nap. I know you all want it.

What's in my bag?

In my bag today: wallet, glasses + case, little woven bag, apple, small notebook, 2 pencils, one pen cap, Marc Jacobs mirror {the very beat-up heart}, large hair clip, 3 different lip products, guitar pick, floss, mini nail file, peppermint oil, camera + case, knitting assignment and {not pictured cause I forgot...} phone and keys. 

Ya like that GIANT bag? It's pretty darn huge. I love it.
