Things I love thursday

Planning my upcoming trip to New Orleans.

My mom (who lives across the country) and I were sick of visiting each other in our own states (her California, me Maine) so we decided to meet somewheres in the US neither of us have been. After much consideration on my part I chose New Orleans because in late April / early May (during my birthday) a huge jazz/blues music festival will be taking place. Along with that we plan on taking a bloody Mary voodoo tour, eating the spiciest food we can find, and attending a few burlesque shows. I will post more about my plans as I make them.

Geek Chic (part one)

You may or or may not know by now, that I am a MAJOR geek. And Not too long ago Gala Darling (my all time favorite blogger) wrote a fabulous article about dressing “Geek Chic” which inspired me to write more about the look and lifestyle of a young, stylish, geeky female.
Lets start with accessories.
Ipod/Mp3 player
(every geek I’ve come across has been into various types of music)
Books
(Do I really have to give an explanation)
Post-it notes
(I love how they come in so many shapes, colors, and sizes now!)
A Journal
(A place to keep your favorite literary quotes, thoughts, and dreams)
A variety of pens
(for writing in journal and love notes)
Anything hello kitty
(Not everyone loves her but I know I do)
Pins/Badges
(great way to show off your interests and decorate a plain purse)
Really Cute Charactors
( Think Hello Kitty, Julius, or anything Kawaii)
(I will do a post on kawaii characters later on)
Video Games!
(my boyfriend just got me the pink DS and I absolutely love it!)

Indulge in 2008


1. coffee, 2. NEVER leave Big Toe alone at home!, 3. delicious cupcake, 4. heart shaped macchiato

2008 is going to be a special year, I can feel it in my bones. It will be a great year for growth, experimentation, celebration, and creativity and I am more then ready for it all. Are you?

Here are some ideas you can use to indulge in 2008

Buy your favorite kind of dark chocolate

Enjoy a cup of well made coffee

Look through any old magazines and make a collage

Take time to make your favorite meal

Go to a used book store with 20$ and buy some treasures

Do the same with thrift stores

Buy a great set of colored pens and use them to write letters

Invest in some beautiful stationary

Buy a Moleskine notebook and write about the things you love

Make a mix at the end of every month that goes with what you did/felt

Collect greeting card that make you laugh and send them randomly to friends

Buy a stuffed Creature (I love my ugly doll) and put him on your pillow to brighten your day

Search in antique stores for trinkets

Find your signature scent (mine is green tea, vanilla cake, and paper back books)

Write notes to your loved ones and leave them around their home

Go shopping for cute underwear and socks

Make a point to take a good picture everyweek

make a photo album

Collect children’s books with a theme (like friendly monsters)

Learn to bake

Buy a plant, and take care of it to your best ability

Decorate a cork board with pictures that inspire you

Listen to old tapes and records

Learn something new like feng shui

so true…

“POPLAR TREE (the Uncertainty) – looks very decorative, not very self-confident, only courageous if necessary, needs goodwill and pleasant surroundings, very choosy, often lonely, great animosity, artistic nature, good organizer, tends to lean toward philosophy, reliable in any situation, takes partnership seriously.”

What tree did you fall from?

Today I found a site that not only aims to end world hunger, but also improve your vocabulary! It’s amazingly addicting.
