"Work hard and love this shit. I really mean that. Iāve worked some shitty jobs. Iāve battled bald-faced hornets in the fuckinā north woods of Michigan. Iāve washed dishes, cut my hands to shit, for four summers up in Alaska just to buy the tools that every kid seems to have now. Every time I hear someone lamenting about having to make a client change or work some long hours, itās just kind of like, man, stop. You havenāt exerted anything but a mouse finger for how many years? So just think about that shit. Weāre lucky." -Aaron Draplin

Eleven: Where is home? The more I've had a chance to move around, the more I've grown to believe that home is where you're with the ones you love. I hate to admit it, but big rapids still feels like home when i visit because of all the memories that live there. Who would've thought that I'd ever find a small town that's 45 minutes away from a mall home?! Give me some water to lay out by, good food and great company - anywhere can be home. I guess that's the awesome thing about the mitten. All three are never too far away š šš #52handlettered #lettering #handtype #handlettered #handlettering #lakemichigan #michigan #detroit #stjoe #grandrapids #type #thedailytype #typespire #typography #typespiration #ligaturecollective #script #handmade
Where is 2015 going?? Proud to say I'm still sticking to and working towards my goals I set for myself this year! March can only mean one thing: SPRING IS ALMOST HERE šš Its crazy to think that it's already March, but in not sad to see winter leave. Hello color! #type #typography #typelove #handlettered #handlettering #script #handtype #march #green #2015 #spring #design #thedailytype #thedesigntip
1. I got to try it totally free thanks to Influenster
Enough said.
2. It doesn't feel sticky and gross.
I figured using a spray would mean that it would feel kind of gross, but honestly it feels more dry than a stick. It feels kind of like baby powder. It's a lot less messy than a regular stick.
3. The scent is nice!
It's a little powdery smelling, but overall pretty nice. Some people have mentioned that it's a bit strong, but after the initial spray, I don't think that it's too overwhelming.
4. It is so light that I forget I'm wearing it.
Some mornings I have to think back to make sure that I've put deodorant on! You don't realize how heavy some deodorants are until you try one that is weightless.
5. It's good enough to make a cheap person think twice about converting.
I can be really frugal when it comes to splurging on the small things (ex. I won't throw out the crappy dollar store q-tips because why buy something that I already have?!) but this is enough to make me rethink anti-perspirant! It will at least be something to have in the summer! It's too light and clump free to not wear during bikini season!
Five Somethings About My First Rodeo with Influenster
Okay, so I'm sure you're a little curious as to what's with all of these promo posts lately, and the answer is INFLUENSTER. It's honestly awesome. So in short, Influenster is a company that sends you full sized products in return for you to spread the awareness, reviews, and criticism for these products via social media. I tried this round just to get a taste of what it was all about, and it's for sure something that I'll be sticking with! It's honestly painless.
1. You don't have to get off the couch to participate.
Almost all of the ways that Influenster asks you to promote/critique the products don't take interaction with other people. SCORE. On that note, if you're an Instagram junky, you'll love all the photo ops that this can score you! This is for sure something that I'll be keeping up with!
2. Hair food is awesome.
I'm a girl with fine hair, so something that can fight frizz and not make my hair look greasy is my new BFF.
3. Puffs now promotes puffs fights.
The new soft packaging is designed to fit in awkward spaces, but the most convenient part about it to me is that it's something else to incorporate into pillow fights.
4. Rimmel Moisture Renew feels like chapstick!
I love the feel, but I'm not positive that this is a great thing yet. I get nervous that when I wear this lipstick out that it'll smudge too easily. Definitely feels awesome though!
5. I'm now addicted to hot chocolate.
Thanks to Simply Swiss Miss samples, I've rediscovered the delicious hot beverage that existed before I ran on coffee... I guess I'll have to mix it up now and again!
