me and my donut

 Lately, my love for donuts has grown into an obsession, thanks to Pinterest and Instagram!! Now I can't resist them. Their delicious looking frosting topped with sprinkles are just too hard to ignore! 

Maybe I should see a therapist...but nah.

Anyway, I've been looking at this donut raft for quite a long time now. But when I saw it hanging from the ceiling of a store in the mall, I fell head over heels in love with it! 

Now my donut and I are happily in love, and will be until the end of time. The end! 

This little light of mine

"Let your light shine so brightly 

that others can see their way

out of the dark."

I saw this quote on Pinterest (surprise, surprise!) a couple days ago, and it got me thinking. 

Remember that song all of us used to sing when we were little? 

"This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine"

I guess when I was younger, I never really thought about the meaning of that song very much. 

"Hide it under a bushel, no!"

Well, I kinda forgot about that song for a long time, but when I saw the quote, it made me remember. And along with remembering the catchy little tune, I also remember a Bible verse that I read not too long ago. 

"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16

So basically, you want to be a light to others. You want to encourage them and love them even when it's hard. You want to spread the love of Jesus everywhere, so that others will come to know Him too. 

Spring colors

Okay guys, ready to talk fashion?!

I don't know about you, but when I think of spring, I think of pastels. Sure, bright colors are awesome too, but I never find myself wearing bright colors. I'm more of a mute colored person.

So this year, I'm kind of in love with muted pink and purple, and Essie helps me out with that! These are my 3 favorite nail polishes (from left to right: mint candy apple, mademoiselle, lilacism), and Essie is my favorite brand because they have such a variety of colors! Every shade of anything, they've got it.

Also, florals! In spring, you must wear florals. It just makes sense, since the flowers are blooming and all. This dress is from Tilly's, the cardigan is from Target (aka heaven on earth), and the bow is from Claire's.

Another thing I love to wear in the spring are flower crowns. They're pretty in right now, and perfect for photo shoots! (my sister was wearing one in this post)

That's all I have to say for now, thank you for being patient while I pretend I'm fashionable!

journal addiction

I've had a journal addiction for quite a long time now. I got my first journal in 2008 or so, and ever since then I can't stop buying them! (In other words, I have way more than I need, and most of them I haven't even written in yet.)

I love this one! The idea of writing an answer to one question and then going back the next year and seeing what you wrote is fantastic. Some of the questions are pretty, though, so be warned!
For instance, I had to think long and hard about this one...

Okay, not that hard, but still.

This right here is my travel journal. I like to keep my normal entries and my traveling entries separate, so that's why I got this. Just to make it easier. Isn't it great?!

And the newest member to my loving family! I adopted her (yes, it's a she) from Target, surprise surprise! Anyway, I'm glad I did because she was the last one of her kind. It looks like a little child scribbled somewhere in the middle, but I overlooked that because this is just such a cute journal. But I have to finish the journal I'm in right now before I can switch to this one. It's one of my rules.

This is the first entry to one of my favorite journals. I saved you from reading it, though, because as I look back on my old journals, I get sad. Sad because I was a strange child. (Was? Who am I kidding. I still am.) Seriously though, there were so many misspelled words and smiley faces and whatnot. Not to mention I tended to jump around from subject to subject.

Okay, enough talk a out my past.

The point of this post was that I am obsessed with journals, and I'm sure you are too, because what is it with bloggers and journals?! It's kind of like the same thing, I guess. Like I said before, a blog is basically like an online journal to me.
