A Few of my Favourite Things:

These are coin earrings that have been hand cut! They are currently out of my price range, but they are so beautiful. ! I can think of so many outfits to pair them with,


Julie Ann Art makes hilarious wedding related cards. Who needs traditional fancy invitations when you can have this card?

Tea Time: Honey & Tea

*** There are going to be some changes to this blog, I want to have better and more personal content! The first new weekly post will be Tea Time! Where I will be showcasing local tea businesses and tea accessories. Because tea is awesome. That is all. *****

                             

Honey & Tea is a local business that sells ... honey and tea. Mostly tea. They even sell cast iron tea pots and glass teacups! They sell teas to make you relax, to energize or soothe! I am definitly going to get me some relax tea! They also have organic and traditional tea. Honey & Tea is located in Oshawa, Ontario and give opportunity for the homeless and at risk youth. So you can buy tea and feel good about not only investing in local businesses but also because of how you are helping the community!

All Photo's are courtesy of Honey & Tea.

I was in no way paid for this post - but that would be nice! - I just really like this tea. And it's local!

Cheers!

2014: A year in selfies.

Now, I am in no way a big selfie person. In fact, I need to take more (and better) photos of myself. Here are my favourite - and almost all - my 2014 selfies! 

Let's go Blue Jays!!

For my graduation present I bought myself a diamond septum ring,! So in love with it!

I really wanted to wear my mermaid costume for halloween but I figured the pub is no place for a delicate sequin and tulle skirt.

Favourite shorts ever! It's so weird seeing my legs without the new tattoos.

This is indeed a pink cheetah onsies with ears on the hood. So comfy! I wear it about 8 times a week,.

My Black Milk skater skirt and top are soo comfy and amazing! Yes, it's brains. I can't wait to find the perfect reason to wear it! Probably not until next halloween but it will be amazing.

Show me your favourite selfie!

DIY Coffee Blend

I love coffee as much as the next 'gal, but you know what I love even more? Fancy coffee; French vanilla, hazelnut topped with whipped cream...the works. So after buying pre-made coffee blends (and by that I mean instant mix because I'm a lazy lady), I decided to make my own. You can even wrap it up nicely as a gift! 

You will need:
Four vanilla beans
Cinnamon and/or nutmeg 2 tsp
1 lb freshly ground coffee beans

Deciding whether to use cinnamon or nutmeg in your blend is a personal choice, I like nutmeg but others don't. Or make one of each!  

Another choice is what type of coffee beans! I like medium fair trade coffee from Kenya, 

1. Mix two teaspoons of your choice 

Into a pound of freshly ground coffee beans, 

2. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla beans and mix them into the blend as we (just slice it up the side and open it, then scrape away!).

What do you think?

Cheers!

Things I like: Ballin' Style

There are some things that people often know about me, such as having a ballin' sense of style (at least I think I do). I really like statement peices, such as this cat skirt or whale top or velvet leggings with a kick ass design. If I could wear all of these pieces at the same time without looking mental, I totally would. (Although I DO think that the skirt and top would look hella cute together).

PSST. I generally rock red nails, but I'm really digging these metallic ones!

DIY Round up: Wall Art.

I'm a huge fan of diy, not only because it's fun and affordable, but also because I like having things in my house that I MADE, not bought. It makes me love the piece so much more than if I had bought it from the store. Here are some beaaauutiful DIY to sprucen up your wall!


This stamped celery art is easy, affordable and super cute! Perfect.









































This is supposed to be fabric, but I think that it'd make such a lovely wall tapestry.




I love This fiesta banner! I'm a big fan of all-year-round banner hanging.





This  foil wall is so neat! It is a little more difficult than the rest, but I think it'd totally be worth it!



I know I'm going to have to do some sundying this weekend, what are you going to do?

Cheers!

Tiny Houses

For the past year or so, I've been seeing pictures of tiny houses everywhere! I always liked the idea, but though "I'd never be able to live in a tiny house!" AND THEN I REALIZED I LIVE IN A TINY HOUSE. Well, apartment technically. We live in a bachelor apartment that's smaller then most tiny houses i've seen!

The main thing is that it is an open concept. Sure, you've got little space, but any sized place can feel small depending on how you use the space. You could have a giant house but if it's filled to the brim with dressers and couches and tables, with those tops being cluttered with silly things,it's going to feel small. If you have less stuff and keep things tidy, it really doesn't matter how small a place you live in. I've been living here for a year and a half, and my old bedroom at my moms still looks like someone lives there, because I didn't bring stuff I don't need, and I have never missed anything! Except maybe my mom.

Anyways, I got a little carried away. Here are some tiny houses I've been loving.













What kind of house/apartment do you live in?

Cheers!
