I got a J-O-B... Hey, Hey, Hey

I know its been awhile but between moving back home, the job hunt, training for the Jax River Run, and sleeping and eating I haven't had much time for anything blog related. I come back to blogging with great news.. I got a job! I couldn't be more excited to start this new chapter in my life and I love the company I'll be starting with. Yay!

Recycle Your Memories

After recently moving and feeling the need to downsize as a result, I have stumbled across an idea I think is so freaking cute and a good use of something you might otherwise throw away. T-shirt quilts!! I have taken my old high school and college(feels weird to say college referring to the past) t-shirts and starting making them into a keepsake quilt! I love this idea and felt the need to share.... 

The quilts are in my opinion expensive if you have them made but I found easy to follow directions on the process from start to finish and for several different sizes. Click Here for the link if your interested

Old Vinyl

I love being creative and making old vintage finds new and modern again so recently my parents being the awesome people they are gave me their vinyl records back from their high school and college years. Thanks Mom and Dad! I cant wait to see what I come up with and how I use them to create something fabulous! The rents old vinyl records are this weeks things to love "love affair" .... Here are a few of my fav's 

Love affair ♥

Talk about M.I.A. - It's been awhile since I last blogged. My summer has been so crazy with graduating college and summer travel plans i've slacked on my responsibilities. While i've been gone i've been a little bit of a movie buff and feel in love again with the movie "Down With Love" Its a romantic comedy set in a retro world of pomp and circumstance and I am envious! Its has inspired me to create a weekly "love affair" and blog about it... anything in my life that I love that week I will share. This is this weeks love affair..

Home Sweet Home

I have fallin in love! If after graduation I move back to Jacksonville I have always wanted to buy a house in San Marco's or Avondale's Historic district. This house is adorable; needs some work but I'm up for it, that way I can make it my home... It has all the charm of an older home and that's what I love about it. Curved arch ways, cutouts and built ins, gorgeous fireplace, and a mail slot make this a perfect charmer! I have so many ideas and it's hard to get to sleep thinkin about all the things I could do to make this MY FIRST HOME!! (hopefully)

Must Read

I realized that after finishing my last book "Mrs. Kennedy" that I needed to find a new page turner for those times I need to take my mind off the hustle and bustle that is my life right now. I browsed through Barnes and Noble and came across "The Birth Order Book". This book gives you great insights to who you are according to your birth order and why. I absolutely love this book! I have learned so much about myself as a first born female and have come to see why I'm always compared to my dad a first born male. Truly a must read!

In Love♥

I have recently feel in love with C.O. Bigelow Apothecaries! I love the Mentha body wash and skin buffer! Also the Mentha lip balm! You get a tingly sensation in the shower. I always feel so clean after I use these Products! you can find all different kinds of products at Bath and Body Works!

Gate River Run

So lately my roommates and I have vowed to come up with an exercise plan and stick to it. I have to say up till this point it has been a pretty easy task. We do a little bit of Cardio three times per week, a yoga and abs class. Since all this working out I have decided to start training for next years Gate River Run ... I had planned on running in this year's 5K but my grandmother had to have her 80th birthday that weekend! ahhh I guess I can't blame her. By next year I will be back in Jacksonville most likely and this should be an awesome accomplishment! I am excited to start training

Color Splash!

I have a lot of old photos from when I was growing up of my parents, me, grandparents, etc and never really knew what I wanted to do with them. I was on photobucket.com and learned how to 'color splash' my old photos. Some of them are better than the others and the one's I like are really amateur but who cares I really like the way they turned out. The ones posted here are my dad, the cliffs of Moher in Ireland and more.

Result of Major Procrastination

As I slowly creep towards my graduation from college I can't help but think of where I want to be and what I want to be doing after that day comes. So as a result of my procrastination of homework and other more important things I continue to surf the internet for all things Interior Design. I have a dream of purchasing my own house before the age of 25 and this dream can come true if after graduation I return to Jacksonville and buy one of the houses I have my eye on. So here are some of the things that I love and want to incorporate somehow into my design ideas.
