Its National Pizza Week, so snag a slice + start… coloring? Okay.

Life getting you down? Well, fix that shit + make yourself happier.

Valentine's Day can be annoying for singletons, but Lush's holiday release is magical. I don't want a boyfriend - I'd rather have True Romance.

Making French macarons is something I've wanted to try forever. This lavender with lemon curd version sounds amazing.

So much elementary school nostalgia for babes born in the eighties.

This Donut Apron DIY tutorial is delicious + I kindof need one now.

My friends know I avoid anything wedding related [well, relationship related, but i'll leave the discussion at that], but IF [biiiiig if] I ever decide to venture to the dark side, I'd be okay with this badass Lightsaber engagement ring.

Soup is perfect during these chilly months + Emily's minestrone can be modified to suit a variety of dietary needs.

I'm just starting to creep into my thirties, but here's some insight for when I hit the old age of youth.

Winter is not my BFF, but these 56 life hacks make it suck less.

Marvel just released the Ant-Man teaser trailer, so go check out Paul Rudd + try not to drool on your MacBook.

Couchsurfing Practice.

Sounds coming from the garish infomercial are what startled my slumber. I didn't want to hear about empty promises from paid actors, but I was too tired to find the remote + change the channel. It took me a good minute to realize I had fallen asleep on the couch for the second time this week + its only Wednesday.

The couch is my sanctuary when sick, or where I bundle up in blankets on cold days off to be a useless human + binge on movies. Over the course of the last few months, I find myself waking up in the middle of the night [sometimes in a cold sweat], slumped over uncomfortable pillows, usually with my socks tossed onto the living room table. Most of the time I don't even bother trudging up the stairs to my bedroom - I simply readjust the pillows, cocoon myself in the blanket + turn onto my other side.

While snagging coffee with a friend last week, I mentioned how I had been gravitating toward the couch out of nowhere. Since taking a handful of psychology courses, he likes to play therapist, telling me that its either because I don't like sleeping alone in my bed anymore, or I am mentally preparing to move + crash on couches while I find a place to live. Although his response was half-joking, I have toyed around the idea of selling most of my belongings, packing up my car + moving westward. I've always wanted to be able to pick up + go, but the annoying urge to be responsible + play it safe usually wins.

Until now..

I think I need a new adventure.

Music Monday.

Things I'm Loving Lately.

Frequencies
Suggested by Netflix, most likely due to my love for romantic comedies + science fiction flicks, Frequencies is a British sci-fi romance [its not annoyingly romantic, so its dude-friendly] in which human + emotional connections are based on frequencies. I'm attempting to be as vague as possible as to not give away too much of the storyline, but its rad. Watch it.

Drip Candle Bottles
Last Christmas, I got color drip candles, but hadn't gotten around to using them. I decided to create a couple bottles this week, using beer bottles that had been saving for this exact craft. The latest one I'm working on is a bottle of Niko Weisse, which I snagged from Great South Bay Brewery this summer.

Lush Cosmetics
So, I snagged a holiday job at Lush + I'm in love. I've always been into natural beauty products + this place is heavennnn. I'll be posting in the next week or so about some of my favorites in the shop, so keep your eyes peeled.

Hoodie Allen - All About It
When I was creating a playlist for my Happy Holidaze party [check it out], I came across this catchy gem featuring Ed Sheeran. I'm also obsessed with Taylor Swift's Blank Space, which isn't surprising. I have come to the conclusion that T. Swift is my cherry lipped spirit animal [Out Of The Woods hit insanely close to home this autumn + I just had a dance party for one to Shake it Off a few minutes ago] + i'm totally okay with that.
