Short Hair.
So I cut off a few inches of my hair today. Afterwards, I searched the internet for a great video on how to curl my newly chopped short hair. Check out this awesome video I found over at Essie Button! Isn't her hair adorable?

A Little Do It Yourself.
I recently, about a month ago, moved into my first apartment post undergrad. So that means I'm renting and with that comes a land of beige and white walls laminate floor entrance, bathroom, and kitchen, and greige carpet throughout. I started doing little improvements here and there to help make the place more unique and more mine. Here take a look!
This are was a bland wall with a weird diamond shape thing near the bottom right corner. I don't know what purpose served but it was weird. I was in Target one day and saw some older maps from 2012 and purchased those along with the two world maps. I think total it was about $20. All I did was tape the sheets to the wall after ripping them from their book, a 2012 Road Atlas. I tried to flatten out the folded maps as best I could, but I think the lines give it character. I also didn't bother to add paper behind them, even though they are about an inch away from the wall on both sides.
This project would probably be really awesome with either magazine covers, ads, or really old Nat Geo maps.
Really simple project! I bought wrapping paper from Marshall's, about $3 a roll, and taped them to the back of my bookshelf.
This is one of the more pricey things I've done. I bought stick on wall paper from Target and printed masking tape. The wall paper was $30 and I think the tape was about $3. I did end up with a little bit left over on the wall paper, not sure what to do with it yet. This one was pretty hard, mostly because of the door handle and that I didn't have an exacto knife. I also just eyeballed everything. This was the first project I did. I really like the printed masking tape I lined the door inside with, adds a nice pop of color.
I have a few other projects in the works, like a dresser and revamping the kitchen. More pictures to come!

Missing
Ever have that feeling? I'm finally pursuing my two passions and yet there is something missing....I can't put my finger on it.

Juice Kick
I've never been one for drinking really anything. When I was a kid, we always had sweet tea and kool aid that we made nearly every day. I grew up on that stuff and that was pretty much the only fluids I drank, except maybe a quick sip from a fountain after track practice. But now that I'm an adult and waaay less active, I've realized I really don't drink enough of anything for my body, and never really have.
I've officially made it my own personal get healthy goal to consume more water, juices, fluids. A few days ago I started drinking V8's for the first time in my life, they are tasty! Yesterday, I purchased some juice, Tropicana Orange and Pineapple, which I've been downing a glass every few hours. I make sure to drink at least one drink in the morning, one at lunch, one at dinner, and one right before bed (this one is kinda tough though because pretty often I have to wake up in the middle of the night to pee).
What am I hoping to get out of this? Honestly, to get rid of my horrible, painful, cystic acne. I'll keep y'all posted on how my journey goes.

Where This One Goes....
The place I call home.
I've been away from the blogging scene for awhile now. I'm hoping to return to it. I'm not sure entirely what this blog will be about. Maybe kind of like a diary or something. I limited my last blog and I think I got bored with it. I want this one to be different and better. More unlimited. I guess we will see where this one goes....
