It's about to get awesome!! @blacksburgbelle has hooked mr on the idea of bullet journaling, so I picked up this #leuchtturm1917. I didn't know enough to get the dotted one, but that's not going to stop me! 😁😁😁

13 on Thursday: 13 New Changes to Cheeky Visionaries

13 on Thursday: 13 New Changes to Cheeky Visionaries

Back in the day, I had no business… just a regular old ordinary blog. Okay just kidding. Nothing I do is ordinary (bwahaha), but I did have a blog. One of my favorite things about blogging back then, was blog memes. Now when you say “meme” most people picture Ryan Gosling saying “Hey girl“. But for those of us bloggers, a meme referred to a themed post with a linkup. Like “Wordless Wednesday”…

Please ignore my super awkward way of holding the mug while I snag a photo of it. Now we're enjoying dark chocolate and coconut crockpot hot cocoa, with whipped cream and tossed coconut flakes. And this is my San Fransisco mug from @blacksburgbelle!

Random thoughts I had while watching DWTS

Loved the first dance… Great way to start the show.

Ariel was pretty good. Man she’s got some long legs… 5'1" so I’m a little jealous. Can’t believe she broke the light, Roflol.

So impressed with Nyle. He danced away from Peta, so he didn’t have the physical cues. And he played the drums for a second? Dang. And the fist pump before diving into the tent was hilarious.

I feel for Doug. I think he keeps getting sooo close. But not quite.

Also Bruno’s “slippery when wet”… He has some of the most random wtf moments… 😂😂😂😂

Zendaya cracks me up lol. “Anyone who didn’t see, didn’t see….know what I mean?” Nope. That was too deep. I think you should elaborate lol.

I’m sorry Jodie had an off dance, but I think the crowd is loud for all of them.

Von and the farting 😂😂😂😂. Oh my gosh man. Lay off the protein shakes until you’re done with DWTS.

Her Cinderella dress is gorgeous! And the dance was muuuuuch better.

Awww Belle dance was awesome. I was already in camp Ginger last week when her baby went off. Welcome to life Roflol. They ALWAYS cry at the most unhelpful moment. And I love that no one was upset about it.

**Here’s a quick funny. I usually watch Grey’s Anatomy at night, cause I’m binging through the series for the first time. When I started playing DWTS, Phillip was laying down to sleep, and was curious why they were playing “Be Our Guest” on Grey’s Anatomy. Hahahah

Loved Wanya’s Lion King dance.

Toy Story dance was adorable! 😍

Sorry to see Marla go. I didn’t think she was the worst of last week.

7 Creativity Boosting Coloring Books (that will look cool in your pillow fort)

7 Creativity Boosting Coloring Books (that will look cool in your pillow fort)

I love coloring books. There. I said it. Just kidding, that really didn’t need declaring, yet somehow we feel the need to clarify that we’re using “adult coloring books”, or “Prismacolor pencils”, or *insert expensive art supply here*. Or it’s declared, but as a defiant joke… “I’m tired of adulting, so I’m gonna make a pillow fort and color!” What if you can color, without needing to justify?…

Confessions From a Not So Shy Introvert

Confessions From a Not So Shy Introvert

One of the biggest misconceptions about introverts is that they’re shy. However most of my introvert friends aren’t shy introverts. I’m not a shy introvert. So before I tell a few secrets about what my introversion looks like, here’s a quick explanation of what that means. Merriam-Webster defines introversion as: the act of introverting:  the state of being introverted(helpful right?) the state…

What Happens When You Learn That You're An Artist?

What Happens When You Learn That You’re An Artist?

Quite frankly, I don’t remember what it’s like to not be able to read. I don’t remember what it’s like to not know my colors, or numbers, or how to cook. Education is an incredible thing… it not only changes your future, but it re-shapes your past. Wasn’t I cute? A similar (and most interesting) thing happens when you go on a voyage of self-discovery. You’ll take a personality test, or someone…

The Undervaluing of Artisans

The Undervaluing of Artisans

I always hesitate when telling someone that I’m going to do a rant post. In the back of my mind I feel like they think I’m about to launch into a Peter Griffin style “you know what really grinds my gears” type rant. So at the risk of someone thinking I’m a Family Guy fan (which I’m not), you know what really grinds my gears? Our culture’s undervaluing of artisans and creatives. Once upon a time…
