pocket sized wardrobe for a pocket sized gal

So I haven't blogged for a good week or two...what can I say I've been busy. And of course, I've been busy doing nothing that I said I would be doing in my previous blogs...It's upsetting really. I've been working a lot and went fishing! A nice little mini vacay-- So today I spent WAY TOO MUCH money on a new couch. but I love it so it was worth it :) And we are getting it delivered and put into our house for only 20 bucks! YESSSS. So i'll put up pictures of my new couch tomorrow once it gets delivered. It comes with like a thousand pillows, most of which I plan on making removeable covers for in peacock decor. That way I can keep them clean, AND if I change up my living room decor, I will still have the original pillows in awesome condition to use:). So far my decorating has been post-poned so instead I will keep you all updated on the boring parts of my life such as paying for and preparing for school in January, getting my car registered and getting ready fo...

NO MORE fried food!! MORE fruits and veggies! MORE oatmeal at breakfast :) -- serve with fruit and yogurt! LESS red meat MORE fish (salmon) and poultry well....thats a start ;)

Titling my posts is obviously not my strong suit....ha! So I know on my list of goals yesterday I didn't really say anything about household chores or anything like that...and I keep the place fairly clean, but I've been trying to work harder so I am cleaning up after myself rather than doing a big clean once a week. So far this week it has been going very well! I even cooked Drew dinner last night...(nachos with homemade chips...guess thats not a great start to eating better...) AND did all the dishes today as well as a few loads of laundry. Tomorrow I plan on getting the rest of the laundry clean....been letting it pile up, and continue to straighten up after myself on the daily. The place has been pretty spic and span since last week now :). I'm loving it!!!!! Also this way I can have surprise visitors and not freak out....although nobody ever surprise visits me...yeah i'm trying to hint that you are all welcome to visit anytime!!! Obviously only those of you with my...

got a little Shania kick right there...playing her station on Pandora right now. As I sit here pondering what to do next with my little loft apartment...drinking a cup of coffee and wondering why I didnt put any Baileys in it...I realized that I can utilize this blog to not only keep up on my decorating and crafting, but also to put down some other goals and if its slightly public....be more apt to complete them! A couple quick goals are to go back to school in january, start a work out/healthier eating regiment, have more money in my savings, buy a new car and buy a house. I don't really have a time line for the last three, but once I get settled back into school and start up my work outs and eating better it will be easier to plan my monetary goals. Drew and I have INSANITYYYYY so we are going to get on doing that everyday! Will update soon.... Anyway I had a pretty successful weekend with my mom shopping for the place. I got some really AWESOME stuff! Since I've started ...

what i have so far.... what i'd like to have.... not including what i've posted in previous posts... from target... something i can make for sure!, not TOO peacock-y though...just more nest-y with feathers added to it :) obviously a cuter frame.....could totally make the picture. bookshelf!!!!!!!!!! must have bookends..... OMG DREAM LIVING ROOM!!!!!!! It is PERFECT. Okay...now to make my living room exactly like that one..... :)

So after a days of work and socializing, today was my day. I dont work till 730, thought id get LOADS of stuff done! I was planning on grabbing some mason jars and fabrics and possibly a lampshade, but of course got sidetracked by getting rent/bill money together and then cleaning up the place. I did like 2 loads of dishes, cleaned up the whole kitchen sink and counters, put all the clothes away, and straightened up the living room and bathroom. The whole place looks amazing! I just hope that it stays like this for awhile...I think I'm going to work on keeping up after everything instead of having full on days where I have to clean up every little thing. So...I didn't have much to say today...but writing down my mundane tasks inspires me to be a better person and keep up on my apartment and keeping it beautiful. I can't WAIT to get a bookshelf, I found this awesome old bottle that Drew had of jim beam that I want to put in it...and a couple vegas souveniers. What I really...

Today is my day off! I am SOOO excited, but I also have a lot going on that I want to do...hang with co-workers, hang with besties, hang with family...not sure where to start! Sorta wondering what I'll do since I ALSO need to go to the craft store to grab a few things! I think I might start at lucky's and grab a 12 pack of mason jars I saw there for 12 bucks, super stoked. To best honest, I just really love the idea of decorating with mason jars! There are so many cute ideas out there. Anyway, I think that's a good start, buying the jars. Having them, I have several possiblities of where to go next....start dying the jars....do a few little decorations with them....whatevs. I think my next project that I am going to do and complete this week is the lampshade in my bedroom. This is going to be super easy, all I need to do is buy a new lampshade in a white or plain color and then decorate it! I decided that I am going to add some deep red (to sorta match the bathroom...no...

So...I recently moved into a loft apartment with my boyfriend, Drew, as most of you already know. We've been here a little over 2 months now and have gotten most of our necessities for the place, so ive moved onto decorating. Each of my rooms sort of have themes so far. My bathroom was the first thing i bought anything for and it is a red victorian sorta type theme. I've pretty much completed the bathroom/sink area and just need a "jewlery tree" and maybe a shelving/basket unit in the cabinets below the sink... My kitchen is just green. So far...i guess my "themes" are just colors haha, but whatever. It's so tiny that its pretty difficult to decorate in it, so i'm going to make some cute magnets for the fridge and on the other side of the kitchen i want to get some bar stools. Once i do that maybe ill add a few small decos on the bar counter. i dont spend much time in there anyway....haha! Okay now for the hard parts....living room and bedroom! i...
