...

So I've put a hold on my "i'm human too" post. Just not in the mood to be deep right now. So.. my roommate maggie is baking me a cake for my birthday (Saturday!). It looks delicious. I will post photos as soon as she is done. Yum!
Also, I've been so in love with getting on etsy and making a list of things I want want want/ don't exactly really need ;) Anyways, here are a few things that are on my list to purchase:

Coffee Cozy! So cute, I love it.

OK, I'll be back soon to post pictures of my birthday cake. <3

Editing photos allllll morning! I need a break.
About to go thrift shopping before I have to sit down and re-do t-shirt sketches. :)

Travel

I'm traveling to a secret place full of peace, happiness, fresh air and love. It's my birthday on Saturday. I'll show a picture post next week with some beautiful pictures of this magical place.

I'm about to make some delicious decaf coffee. Who wants some? It's super good! :)

In a few minutes I'm going to post a new post that I'm hesitant on sharing it on the internet. But, I am human and I have flaws, many of them actually.

Be back soon.

Tea Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday to all. I just took the best nap, I feel better. I had a bit of a meltdown today for a little while, but I took a long nap and I feel a good bit better. Anyways, today is Tea Tuesday and I will be featuring different hot tea's for all of you to try!

Darjeeling Tea!

This tea is a blend of the finest Assam and South India teas. Apparently it is one of the best known black teas.

Yum, I can't wait to get my hands on some of this tea. It looks delicious and I know it smells amazing.
If you have any great teas that you'd like for me to feature, let me know and I will gladly add it!

Thanks so much. Happy Tuesday!

Happy Monday! It's chilly outside! 57 degrees! Whoot! It feels nice. This morning, I did not go on my early morning walk due to the weather man. Apparently, it was suppose to rain last night and this morning. But I woke up and it definitely wasn't raining. So, slept a little later this morning. I will walk tomorrow morning, for sure. Woke up, showered, got dressed, ate some yogurt and granola, wrote my grandmother a letter, fed Tom and now I'm getting my books together and my lunch to take to school.

So, like I said.. Happy Monday. My morning has been spent getting reading, writing and listening to Bon Iver. So good. Gonna go journal a little, then go to school. I'm living you with some inspiration for your Monday. Enjoy!

(please note that none of these are my pictures, I can't find the source because I have a folder of inspiration of my computer. So if this is your photo and you want it off my blog, I will gladly delete it. Thanks!)


Have a beautiful day.
<3 Kate

Yum Two.

So for the first time tonight, I tried this amazingly delicious ice cream. YUM #2! It's so good, the texture is so smooth and it just makes every bite perfect. (Plus it is suppose to give you good karma*)

I've really tried to go organic lately with everything that I buy to eat and it's really great. A tad bit more expensive, but that's ok. I'd rather be organic and be green. :)

I'm slightly obsessed with La Roux Bulletproof song, I know I know it's constantly overplayed blah blah blah. But I just found out about this song like two days ago. I listened to the whole thing and its super catchy. I really like and I really like her too. She reminds me of my good friend Ashley.

So, one of my goals(I will be making a goal post soon!) is to become more crafty. I'm slowly gettin' there!                                                                          #1

  

#2

 

(has anyone had trouble uploading pictures? Because it seems mine take hours and hours to actually load... anyone have any advice)
** Does anyone know how to download Photoshop for free? -with no viruses, I need help!


Anyways, tonight will be filled with rice ice cream, roommates, outside chat, homework and of course tea. 
Guess I'll leave you with this. I hope all of you have a wonderful Sunday night. Enjoy it while it lasts!



 

YUM.

Tired! But... guess what, Hunter and I made French Toast this morning! Yummmm. It was good!

Yummy Yumm.

Decaf coffee, from Starbucks. It's alright with Vanilla Soy.

It was really good. We even have leftovers. Whoot. So last night I had the house to myself. I got home from work, made some dinner, then made my brother the ultimate happy birthday card. It's a little card with different layers and a mixed cd in the middle. I got the idea from DIY from RedVelvetArt . I just added some good songs that he can listen too. We have pretty different views on what is "good music" but hopefully he will like these songs.

Well.. our (my brother and I) birthday is next week. October 2nd. Whoot! Anyone have any ideas on what I should do? I will be in Oxford.. my brother will be in Birmingham. Hmmm... thoughts on any good ideas? I went to Austin City Limits last year for my birthday, this year I want something memorable but also low-key.

Who knows, I'll think of something. I love Sundays. It's a great day to relax. I have a lot of school work today, but as of right now I am procrastinating as much as I can. :)

Happy Relax Day!

Good Day.

Hello beautiful people. When I woke up this morning, I was greeted with the most beautiful sounded voice on a voicemail. My cute cute friend Ashley left me a late night voicemail. It made my day. :)
Such a pretty girl. I wish I had a picture of her on my computer.
Anyways, I've been working on some sketches for a t-shirt design for the local art market here in Oxford, Ms. It's called the Makers Market. Hm mm whatcha' think?

Just a few things simple.
I think we may have people over at our house tonight. I work from 12-4 tomorrow. Gonna take some photos of the store and update the facebook page. Yay!

TGIF! I'm soo glad it's Friday!
What are ya'll doing this weekend?

Look at my cutie sitting by the window. He loves basking in the sun on the window.

Cutie.

P.s. One of my favorite blogs was featured in BUST magazine! The beautiful and talented
Elsie Flannigan from Red Velvet Art!

Go visit her blog and leave her a happy :)

Things that make me smile: walking early in the mornings, Hunter, hot tea, Ashley, getting letters in the mail, chai lattes, sleeping in, journaling,working retail, movies, walks at night, riding in convertibles, skyping with friends, sitting outside talking with my roommates.

Things that I'm looking forward too: my birthday in two weeks, my anxiety slowing getting better, getting a letter in the mail from Ashley, designing new designs for t-shirts, paintings, sleeping in.

(the source of this picture is unknown, I can't remember where I found it. I'm sorry! I will take it down if I need too)
 
Happy Friday! I woke up this morning to go walk/jog and I saw 8 different looking cats throughout my walk. It was the strangest thing! They were all different types of cats. So weird, Oxford is like oddly infesting with cats everywhere! That's how I got my cutie little Tom :)
Well, I'm off to sit outside and finish my coffee, I always make a huge pot and then never ever drink the whole thing.. oh well.. It's hard to drink tons of decaf.. you know?
:)

My ULTIMATE favorite candy..

Happy Thursday!

xo

I would love to cook a little something sweet tonight. Hmmm.. what should I make?

I didn't have a good nights sleep at all last night. I don't know what happened. But I missed my 6am walk this morning, I couldn't find a parking spot and I missed my last class due to not feeling well last night which lasted throughout the day. I just went to my counselor to speak to her and I felt like we didn't really get anywhere in our meeting. Ugh.
I know, I know. I'm being so negative. Cheer up Kate! Well, tomorrow is a new day and a great one at that. I am looking forward to my early morning walk and it being so close to the weekend!

So, these past few weeks I have started to become oh so good and writing letters to my friends. I love, love getting mail in the mailbox. It gives me something to look forward too when I head home from school. I would love to write any of my readers. Lets become pen pals!

I just wish some people would actually take the time to write me back. A stamp is a few cents as well as a few envelopes. I have taken the time to write so many friends and I have received nothing. But that's okay. They have a beautiful handwritten letter in there hands to make them feel and know they are special.
Anyways, how has your Wednesday going? What new things will be going on tomorrow that you are looking forward too? I'm about to go make some ice chai tea and wait around till bible study tonight. :)

My first craft project! I made a wreath for Autumn. :) I think I will be making more of these! I love them.

While I sit outside at night sometimes, I burn sage. I really love the smell. It's so calming and helps me relax. I burn it when I meditate in the mornings sometime too. It's nice.

I've been hanging with my little baby most of today. He is such a sweetie. He wants all the attention, from everyone. He purrs so loud sometimes.. haha

My cute baby, Tom.

Well, Sunday has been quite uneventful for me. I need to go to Walgreen's and get some detergent.. you want to know the BEST smelling detergent?

I also need to get some of this:

I've really really tried to take care of my complexion the past few months. I want to have great looking skin (don't we all).

It makes me feel so much better washing my face and putting on lotion and things right when I go to sleep. I feel fresh when I go to sleep. It's a great feeling.
I should get off my blog and start being productive. I have a critique Tuesday. Gotta type up and artist statement.

Have a wonderful rest of the night. :)
