you're not human.
I want to abandon my studies and get on a plane.

Party inspiration
In light of my rapidly approaching graduation (May 13th) I've been thinking I should throw myself a party. Mostly because it's an excuse to make girly treats, decorate, and have my girlfriends over, but also to celebrate the upcoming year free from school (!!!) That alone is reason enough for me.
Here's some party inspiration for all you soon-to-be-graduates and entertainers out there:
Turquoise cake.
Watermelon keg.
Cake pops.
Cocktail rimmed with sprinkles.
Glitterized cookies.

Blonde
So...I gave in and went blonde. Not TOO blonde, but there's a noticeable difference! I went for a subtle ombre look and I can't wait for it to lighten up even more when we finally get some sunshine =)
Words
I'm always so inspired by blogs that offer unique ways to create and decorate.
In the spirit of creating, here are 6 romantic ways to use words.

DIY Apron
How adorable is this apron? Not to mention her braided ombre hair. I love it almost as much as I love her blog, A Beautiful Mess.

Wedding Makeup how-to
I pretty much love anything wedding, but these are even good tips for everyday!
Here's how to create a beautiful, natural look.
Feeling creative
If you're feeling creative and you have the same love of decorating that I do, try making your own fabric patterns. I especially like them for throw pillows!
See how to create your own here.

Top knot
The perfect top knot. Here's the how-to from a beautiful mess:
1. Gather your hair into a high pony tail at the top of your head. 2. Use a comb to brush down and through your hair, teasing it. 3. If you have thin or fine hair be sure to tease as many strands of your pony tail as you can. This is what gives the bun volume and body. 4. Twist your hair around your hand and pony tail base. 5. Pull the end of your hair through, this puts the knot in top knot! :) 6. Tease and style your top knot and, if needed, spray on a little hair spray to finish.

Honey-glazed baked carrots
My newest food creation: Honey-glazed baked carrots with thyme served over honey Greek yogurt.
I tried this one out on a whim, and I'm so glad I did. It was delicious.
