These are a Few of my Favorite Things {June 10}

Good Afternoon!

It's Sunday! A cat nap was so necessary earlier this afternoon and the blog hit 2000 visits! Horray! Thank you so much everyone for checking my blog out! For now, here's this week's favorite things :)

♣ Brand new posts!

} Review of Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion with Pump for Very Dry to Dry Combination Skin

} This week's Saturday's Adventures

♣ Places that I loved this week:

} I've been thinking about crocheting some new place-mats for my home this week. Here are some ones that I've been thinking about trying: [Simple and Modern] [Pretty Country] [Delicate and Feminine] There's also a whole lot of place-mat ideas on various yarn websites. I headed out to buy some yarn today to start making them, can't wait to show you guys which one I decided on!

} This is finally a week that I'm able to catch up on the issues of The Kit, a free online magazine that has a huge focus on hair and beauty.

} How Do I Put This Gently? is one of my new favorite Tumblr blogs. So many of her posts relate to my life hahaha.

} Growing out your hair? Try these tips from Beauty Bets!

} I love Sweet Paul's blog and amazing photography skills with food. They'll be releasing a new desktop wallpaper weekly and I'm super excited!

} The Oatmeal had this hilarious post on the Pros and Cons of Living with your Significant Other. I can totally see Jim and I in a few of these situations if we did live together.

Tonight I will be DIY-ing my own mask with inspiration from [this] Yves Rocher Mask with Lemon Zest.

I'll be mixing some leftover lemon zest from the lemon poppy seed loaf recipe, witch hazel, and lemon. I'll tell you how it goes! :)

Momo says Hi! :)

Enjoy the rest of this beautiful weekend!

Holy moly did my Lemon Poppy Seed Loaf from yesterday turn out well! It is so delicious and if I can bake something as good as this from that recipe, then anyone can do it! (I am really not the best baker)

Hope you’re having a great weekend!

[DIY] Crayon Hearts ♥

Good Evening!

Today I had the busiest day ever! In fact this week has been pretty busy, so that's why I haven't posted up anything new yet :(. I have lots of reviews waiting to be edited so that I can post them up, so watch out for those soon! I also really wanted to do a Valentine's Day post, but I had a huge mid-term today and wasn't able to post up anything for the week, so I apologize for that. I'm working on some St.Patrick's Day stuff though, so lots of fun posts to come :)

Valentine Hello Kitty and the Puppy I got for Valentine's Day from my boyfriend ♥

I had an absolutely amazing Valentine's Day though, it was so lovely and I had so much fun! For my housemates (I have 3), I made some Crayon Hearts from a link to a tutorial that I posted up before by Whipper Berry. They turned out beautifully, and can really be made into any shape as long as you have the baking mold for it! *hinthint!* (Easter!)

Here's a summary of the steps for those who don't have crayons lying around the house: (and some tips!)...

It's been almost a month...
