Trip to Santa Monica ♡

So today Sloth and I decided to take a little trip up to Santa Monica just to drive around and hang out! It was super fun and instead of using a film camera, I used a DSLR. Let me know which you prefer for my lifestyle posts! ^~^

When we got to Santa Monica it was still really early so the fog was still there which was sucky because I really wanted to enjoy the sun! The amusement park was closed too which was sad because I haven't been there in years.

After walking around the pier for a bit we walked over to Third street promenade and we went into Urban outfitters and bought some pins ^~^ Guess which are mine?!

I totally forgot that the 'barbie house' was in Santa Monica so I was shocked when I saw it. The rumor goes that the creator of barbie built/lives/owns that house. Its not true, but we can all pretend! So cute.

We went over to the museum of flying because educational and Sloth adores planes so much so I thought it would be fun! We actually ended up talking to some guy that works there for a while and he taught us a lot of things we didn't know which was pretty cool!

After hanging out in Santa Monica for a while we went over to Venice beach because my boyfriend has never been there before so I wanted him to check it out with me! I didn't take a bunch of pictures because it was really ugly outside and to break it down to you if you haven't been before (drugs / homeless people / street acts ) & LOTS AND LOTS of people. I actually saw Kassem G (if you know who that is!)

I had lemonade for the first time ever! It was super good but REALLY expensive :-( I actually found out they're opening one up here in San Diego and I'm stoked about it because the lemonade was seriously so good.

We kind of ran out of things we wanted to do around 5pm so we went over to Little tokyo because I love the Japanese photo booths there! Its $10 for one machine and it takes about 4-6 pictures and you get to edit them and it prints it out on sticker paper. They also have UFO machines with plushies in them and I really wanted the beer plush and i've wanted it for almost two years now! I can never get it x___x I was pretty disappointed with Little tokyo this time I feel like every time I go the stores get more and more expensive and it sucks! We ended up going home pretty early because we were both super tired. I was running on only two hours of sleep! Anyways, I had a really fun time going back to my hometown and hanging out!

How to make my blog an app on your phone ♡

Its really easy to make your favorite websites more accessible to you on your mobile device! Im going to show you how you can make my blog (or any other website for that matter) an app on your apple phone or ipad.

Staying organized in 2014 ♡

Ever since a couple of months ago ive been obsessed with planners. I've been so busy lately that I kind of have to use one or i'll get off track and forget what i'm supposed to be doing that day. Here are some really nice ones I found online for 2014! Let me know down in the comments if you'd like a post on how I keep myself organized for school and life in general!

These planners from Kikki.k are sure to help you stay organized this year with their colorful and bold designs its hard not to want to doodle all over these adorable planners. These planners do run for a little more than something you'd pick up at Target or Walmart, but if you love using planners like I do, then the few extra bucks don't really matter.

These notebooks and planners from Typo by Cotton on are not only affordable but really easy to find! Shipping is quite cheap and last time I went into cotton on, I saw all of these planners and notebooks in store! My favorite one is the holographic one on the top right corner. Photos don't do it justice at all, its beautiful.

Poketo is a long time favorite of mine and i've bought from them a number of times. Their art is always so lovely and its no wonder why their planners are freaking adorable! They're all open date which means you can start using them whenever you want and just add in your own months and days which comes in handy if you "forget" to use your planner for a few months.

Christmas haul ♡

For Christmas I wasn't expecting a ton because I didn't ask for anything from anyone but some of you asked me to make a Christmas haul so why not! Feel free to leave down in the comments what you got for Christmas (if you celebrate of course, or what you did over winter break!)

I am so so thankful that my mom actually got me an iPad mini! I've wanted an iPad for so long and I finally got one and I'm excited. A couple of you have been asking me to do a review on it so if thats something you'd like then let me know! I'd love to!

Sloth got me this big ball of lush which was so thoughtful because he knows that i love stars and astronomy so this star related gift from lush was perfect!

it came with all of this and a lip balm which is amazing. I can't wait to use all of these!~ ^__^ Sloth also got me that totoro plush, which lights up on the tummy!

Every year my mom buys me a perfume and this year she got me my favorite! Which is daisy by marc jacobs. It usually lasts me the whole year so her getting me a new one every Christmas is actually perfect because I run out right around Christmas time.

Last but not least this Vanity from ikea that i've been eyeing for the whole year! I included this ugly picture because its still in the box and I haven't put it together yet but once I do, i'll be sure to show you guys! I hope you all had an amazing Holiday season and continue to bring positivity into 2014!

Cute rings (Online finds!) ♡

Someone on tumblr recently asked me to make a post about cute rings that they could buy online, so here it is! Recently i've been really into wearing and stacking rings. Etsy is my favorite place to buy rings because most of the sellers make the rings themselves! Comment below and let me know if you have any blog post requests!
