Lovely Things: Comforts!

I've had a pretty emotional slump lately. Admittedly I let myself wallow when I shouldn't but ya know sometimes you just need to feed into it! Between loading myself with ice cream, comfort food and binge watching series on Netflix I've been obsessing over comfy cute things on the interwebs! The theory is if I stare at cute comfy things long enough maybe it'll give me the strength to scrape myself together and act more adulty. BUT until now here are some random cute things! 

DIY Confetti Poppers. I think everyday at work we should have random confetti celebrations just for showing up and being at work. I've been thinking about starting it, but I'm not sure if my boss will be too thrilled about it. 

Paper Kitty. I desperately want a kitty to cuddle with right now, but I know I'm not responsible enough to take care of another being. Hell I can barely take care of myself! So for now I think a paper kitty will do! 

Sprinkles! I think its true that sprinkles make everything 10 times better! 

 Won ton Soup! Yes I know its summer but nothing is more comforting then asian food. THIS blog has a TON of good recipes!

Bear Pillow! OH man this is not only adorable but it looks soooo cozy! 

Vintage Cameras! These are way too cute. I think I'd have to buy them all as a set, because I'm a camera nerd like that! 

Chunky Blanket! Again, I know its summer but when I've been spending this much time in my bed and on the couch I need something bright and comfy! 

I'm holding out hope that its true with the bad comes good. 

List of Thoughts as of Late

More and more I've been sharing my personal life, feelings and thoughts on this blog. I think 3 years ago when I started out I didn't want this blog to turn out super personal. I mostly wanted to create a place to log my creative adventures and cool findings and share them with others! I wanted to create something light and readable. Over time that base that I started on slowly changed where now days this blog is more for me and acts like catalog of my life. A catalog of things I find esthetically beautiful, projects I've tried, projects I want to try, mail I have sent and songs I have obsessed over. Part of this change comes from my amazing supportive readers! Most people who read this blog I have a somewhat personalish relationship with. (and if I don't I want too!) That has helped shape my content. I feel comfortable sharing my personal anxieties and trials with all of you. Which has turned out to be an amazing outlet for me! As a girl with social anxiety creating connections can be really tough. BUT I feel like every post I make I get to create a connection with someone and that is one of the coolest things ever! 

Phew! With that said unfortunately recently my family had to say good bye to one of its most lively members. My auntie lost her 8 and a half year long battle to cancer the other week. The shock waves of sorrow are making there way though my family, slowing getting less rocky every day. So I scrape myself together to be able to write this post, to be able to document this time and moment in my life when I realize things will surly never feel how they once did. I feel both irritated and elated about the cycle of life. There is no beginning with out an end. Over all I'm really lucky in life. I'm surrounded by the most amazing people (including all of you!) I get love, comfort, support, honesty and acceptance in every corner of my life. I don't think a lot of people get to say that. 

Sorry for the long post! I'm sure the next couple weeks will be flooded with overly cute and comforting things! Also if I owe you a letter it might be a little delayed, my zest for creating has been fleeting. BUT I'll get on top of it soon! 

June Art Journal!

Last months art journal! I'm kinda getting sick of this size, but I've still got a lot of pages left in this book. *sigh* Looks like this book will last me until the end of summer! I've added a lot more hang-y bits to this journal than I have in the past. I'm kinda liking the overflow look! I'm feeling kinda excited to dive into the month of July! 

Happy 4th of July!

Its that summery time of year again! I know I should be sleeping, because its 2:25am BUT I have a hectic day tomorrow so I figured I'd post something really quick! I've been trying to get better at keeping up on this little ol'blog of mine. (Plus my tummy is super bloaty and bubbly, so I'm not sleeping anytime soon!) I sort of love hate this time of year. I HATE the heat, crowds, memories it brings back and the obligation to feel patriotic. But I LOVE spending time with family, getting the day off and eating lots of food. I suppose it doesn't really matter if I'm for or against it, it is here anyways! AND it demands to be acknowledged. So here we go! I hope all you americans have a safe and lovely day AND for all my international buddies, happy Monday!
