It was great! Five stars! Hilarious action-comedy! Oh, wait—it's not supposed to be a comedy? But what about the uber-long closeups of people staring dramatically? One. After. Another. The so-cheesy-it-can-only-be-on-purpose final deathbed speeches? The lack of a decent plot line...? Oh. Okay. Nevermind then. I can't believe after sitting through hours of Peter Jackson movies, I … Continue reading The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

You'll have to settle for a picture of a dollar-store mug I drew on with a multi-surface paint pen. It was much easier than painting with acrylics. It … Continue reading A Short Post
Holiday Outfits
The Holidays are upon us and so is an excuse to buy clothes! Personally, I love this time of year because it is a great time for an abundance of metallics, especially for New Year's. For Christmas this year, I'm going for warm and elegant. I found a dark-red sweater with stud embellishments on the … Continue reading Holiday Outfits
How To Go Christmas Shopping
Don't. Just stay home and drink hot chocolate happily knowing you ordered everything online a month ago. Otherwise you'll end up with less than a week until Christmas and less than half your list checked off, like me. And you'll be cursing your own stupidity as you navigate a crowded mall and wait in crazy mile-long … Continue reading How To Go Christmas Shopping

My Room: Starting From Scratch
It was a clean slate, and maybe that's why I got so excited.
