HAPPY HALLOWEEN!


WANDERLUST WEDNESDAY: NORWAY


Ever since I traveled to Austria a few years ago I have a mild obsession with Europe. Maybe a little more than mild. Since then, I was lucky enough to get to spend a short time in Switzerland but no where near long enough. Next on my list: Norway. The beautiful countrysides and being on the water, along with the rustic buildings, are enough to convince me that I will love it.

DIY: ROOM FRESHENER JARS

Lets be real here, room fresheners may smell good (or sometimes really bad) but they are nothing but chemicals that can be more harmful than good, especially for people with allergies or sinus problems. Here is a wonderful idea, natural room fresheners in jars...and they look pretty too. Check out The Yummy Life for the recipes.

TRANSIENCE MIRRORS


I came across these mirrors on Matter and they instantly caught my eye. "Transience" are a series of geometric mirrors that David Derksen and and Lex Pott have oxidized using sulfer for varying lengths of time. Depending of the amount of time the sulfer is left on the mirror determines the color. The longer it is left on the darker it becomes. The result is absolutely stunning and an absolute work of art.

WANDERLUST WEDNESDAY: VINTAGE CAMPERS PART 2

I know I posted campers before, but I really have an obsession here people so please just go along with it. I want to drive cross country and stop in fields and set up a picnic table under the awning of my camper. It just needs to happen.


DIY CRAFT OF THE DAY: STRAWBERRY STONES

I tend to collect random stones and rocks occasionally so I'm in love with this project of painting them as strawberries! So cute! I also read that if you put them in your garden, birds will try to peck at them instead of your veggies...it might work!


JUST BECAUSE

LOVE IT: RAIN BOOT EDITION

Look, it doesn't rain often here in the beautiful Southern California. BUT that doesn't mean we can't have our selves some amazingly cute rain boots ( in my opinion, it doesn't technically have to be raining to wear rain boots...over cast is enough of an excuse)





FOOD STYLING

If i don't make it as an illustrator the next logical step is to be a FOOD STYLIST. These pictures are beautiful!
