My Birthday!

On my birthday I: Bought myself a birthday present. I was just suppose to buy a tank top, like that was going to happen. This was my "Should I buy this one, or this one?" picture. Then I got froyo, three flavors! It was so delicious.
We went to dinner, then to a local arcade. I don't always shoot zombies, but when I do I wear sparkle heels.

Movie Night via Netflix

I love surfing through Netflix and finding great movies that I otherwise would never have heard of. This week I found a great one; you should watch it. I've also been cooking much more than usual, which is exciting. Today my roommate and I made a "formal" breakfast with eggs, toast, hash browns, and coffee. Like a proper instagram user I was going to take a picture, but I forgot and was too hungry. I ate it before I took the picture, oh well. I didn't forget to take a picture of the pizza I made though. To watch a movie I have to have some sort of food, I'm not picky.
Decoy Bride was so cute, I really loved the dialogue in it! Image from google.
I put a layer of cheese over the pepperoni, it's delicious. It holds in the flavor so well.

Birthday Wishlist

Just over a week till my birthday, I can't believe it's almost here already. I'm not usually a list maker of the presents I want, but there are a few things this year that would be very helpful to have. There are also a few thrown in that I would love to own.
running shoes
I really need workout shoes because as of now I'm using my old chucks, which I love, but do not work as the most effective workout shoe. I would love your input; what workout shoe/brand do you swear by?
500 days of summer
500 Days of Summer DVD. I looked for it to watch it the other day and it wasn't there; I can't believe I don't have this dvd, great and sad movie. How can you not love Zooey and Gordon, come on!
Pinned Image
A pair of ankle boots. I would love a pair like these, simple and classic.
Planters
Some cute planters for the porch

Travel Wall Art DIY

My computer is back and virus free, yay! And to celebrate I crafted, just kidding, but I did make a simple wall art design to update my previous one, take a look.
Whenever I'm out and about I'm always looking for potential DIY projects. At a store the other day I saw these beautiful letters cut out of paper, but they were $70, ya not in my budget. So I figured why can't I make my own? So I did. The supplies were super easy and versatile, so it's a win win. You can use any paper you want, I chose a world map because of my travel subject. I might do a updated 3d project with my letters, but for now I'm happy with the way they turned out.
The longest part is trying to make sure all your letters are around the same height. The way I cheated was to use a world map book instead of an actual map, this way I could use one page per letter and not have to spend all my time measuring.
I placed them on the ground next to each other; each new letter I cut out made me excited and closer to updating my pinwheel wall I made before, when I was suppose to be studying for exams, oops. I like how it turned out though, what do you think?
