// random




^ okay so this sephora gift card is from my 20 year old cousin for secret santa. but when he gave it to me he said the employee took him around the whole store showing him things she thought a teenage girl might like- which I thought was so sweet because although he probably has no idea what any of the things she was showing him were, he still gave an effort to look for something around 20$ which of course we all know is almost impossible. (: so thats my little sappy story of the day lol

Okayyy, hope you enjoyed that....

white, simple, and clean.

Many plants live in various places in my room...

+ FALLing in love +

Hey hey.

I wanted to share some recent fall faves, sooo here they are. :)

Eats/drinks: 

- Chai tea lattes 

(Super easy to make at home) 

Okay- and guys. I attempted to make beet chips and they are kinda time consuming, but taste a-m-a-z-i-n-g!!! And, I only burnt the first batch... So I think I accomplished a lot here. haha

Reads: 

- The land of 10,000 madonnas 

So far this book has been a really great, intriguing novel. If you like books about travel and sassy teenagers, read this haha. It's about a dead cousin/best friend/boyfriend who sends his three cousins, girlfriend and  best friend on a trip to Europe. They are trying to figure out why- and use the things he gave each of them to "fulfil his dying wish. "

Watching currently: 

- Gilmore girls season 7  😍🙌🏻😥

I'm almost done, and soooo ready for the new episodes!! Haha 

Wearing a ton:

- Plain black leggings and sweaters/hoodies. Cause why not be comfy all the time?? Haha 

Listening to: 

Recently, I have been loving the playlists "fireside folk" & "mellow indie" on Google play music. These are super chill and sweet playlists. :) 

Spending: 

K, soooo I think it safe to say I love shopping, but I've really been loving thrift stores and "flavour upstairs" downtown. That store is by far my favourite store to shop in. 😍

That's all I can think of right now... So ttyl- dom <3 

+Favourite tunes+

Hey hey.

Sooo... Long time no talk. But I'm here now so thats good right?? 

Todays post is a bunch of my favourite songs at the moment (:

- Maggie Rogers // Alaska

-The Cinematic Orchestra // To build a home

- Ingrid Michaelson // Keep breathing

- Sleeping at last // Saturn

- Seafret // Oceans

+summer lovin'+

Hey hey.

Summer is almost here! 

So I thought of some things that might help it be as awesome as possible... haha 

Tip #1: Stay hydrated!!! 

You might get busy and have lots of things to do, but you need to remember to drink lots of water. 

Add some fruit or cucumber to make taste better:)

Tip #2: Use sunscreen. 

Sunscreen helps prevents skin from aging, (burns age/wrinkle skin) discolouration, and skin cancer.

And yes- you can still tan with sunscreen on! 

Tip #3: Plan things!

If you don't have a full summer schedule, plan some beach days/ summer party's.

Tip #4: Take pictures:) 

I take (too many) pictures all the time... but you'll want to remember the fun things you did this summer.

Tip #5: Make a little money!

The summer gives you lots of opportunities for jobs. Babysitting, mowing lawns, watering gardens, picking fruit... etc. 

Thats all my tips for now:) ttyl- dom
