"The mountains are calling and I must go." 
John Muir


Today I wore bobby pins in my hair for the first time in forever. Normally I have these little 'blonde' bobby pins that blend into my hair but since I can't seem to keep track of them I had to dip into my "emergency bobby pin stash". 

These "emergency bobby pins" were from the dollar store; very stiff and coated in shiny black paint. I ended up taking them out half way through the day cause they hurt so badly. 

Turns out they have a good use though...they work wonders with India Ink.

Its ironic because the wood is actually Oak. And while we are being honest its actually a flooring sample from Home Depot, and I'm 99% sure its not real wood.

"Ah, good taste! What a dreadful thing!
Taste is the enemy of creativeness." 
Pablo Picasso


People love Pinterest and DIY. I feel like its taking over. One trend that I've seen hundreds of thousands of times is the classic paint chip note. And yes I have done it, but I really dislike it. 

Today I just wanted to be ironic. 

P.S. Normally my nails are much more presentable, please forgive the chip.

I've always wanted to make a vector file of my lips. I think the problem was I used a nude lipstick instead of a red. It didn't show up great on the paper. Pretty good for a first time.

Today was just really rainy and gloomy and I had the worst headache from it all. 
Sticky notes might be my favorite office supplies ever invented.

Thank You for the wilderness
Where I learned to thirst for Your presence
If I'd never known that place
How could I have known You are better?
Elevation Worship


Recently I have felt a little lost in the wilderness of life. But I'm thankful for it because it has taught me to rely on God more than myself. It's still a daily struggle because I like to believe that I am fully capable and can accomplish anything. But the truth of the matter is that I am nothing without Him. The only reason I am creative is because His spirit is living within me and I am made in His image. So I am going to continue to learn to trust God with my life; because ultimately living for Him is the only thing that matters.

Will you accept this rose? And by rose I mean this poorly designed snapchat that I threw together because I have a 15 page thesis paper due Wednesday? You will? Thanks.

This post is in honor of Bachelor Monday which will be Bachelor Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday this week because my roommates and I are just crazy busy being seniors in college and all. Hopefully tomorrow I will be more creative/get more sleep.

"with all these little games"
the Colourist


Recently I turned "read receipts" on. If you are unfamiliar with "read receipts" it is a little line of text below the last message (in a conversation) sent to your iPhone from another iPhone. It tells you when that person has read your message. 

Normally I'm against announcing that I have read someone's text BUT I had a change of heart. Sometimes I have a hard time remembering to answer texts. I'll be busy doing something and check my phone but not have time to answer. Most of the time I honestly just forget to send a message back, but sometimes I need more time to think about what I'm going to say and then I forget. Later I'll realize I forgot and then it's just guilt, guilt, guilt about forgetting.

Turning on read receipts has made me more accountable to answering messages in a timely fashion for the most part. It's the added knowledge that the other person can see that I've read it. And so far I would say I have increased my response time by a crazy amount. 

The only problem I've noticed is that it has slightly encouraged my idea that (sometimes) texting is a game. When I don't answer/continue a conversation and the other person can see that I've read their text and simply chosen not to answer; I feel like I have won. But in reality I just lost by turning a conversation into a game. So I'm trying not to see it as a game anymore. I'll let you know how that goes by answering your texts.

"Without Ever letting you know" 
Kiiara


I really like the song Gold by Kiiara. The only problem is I never listened to the words and have always just jammed out to the sound of the music. When I looked up the lyrics there wasn't really anything of substance to the words and I was sorely disappointed. So I did my design on it today. At first glance it might look interesting but there really isn't much substance there.

You know when everything in your brain is kinda fuzzy cause there's so much going on that you can't organize your thoughts? Yeah me too. I pretty much restarted my design today like 3 times. Good work kid.
