Of Monsters and Men- Little Talks

Slooooow it down.

So I've decided if I could slow my life down even a little bit these are the things I would do:
- Sew things...things of all sorts
- Get a back x-ray from my snowboarding crash....is it bad that I still can't bend properly?
- Get an arm x-ray from my snowboard crash... still can't move my one arm in a full circle...isn't the old saying "time heals everything though?"
- I would go to the gym more...maybe get into yoga again
- Find a good book to read that has nothing to do with lesson planning
- Find amazing music- assortment of genres so I can have music when I need to be mellow and have a cup of cocoa and for when I need to jam out and......clean my room
- I would attempt to organize..although every time I attempt it becomes way more of a mess and I buy organizers that just end up jamming up my space. I should really take tips from W.
- Speaking of W...I suppose catching up with friends would be on this list too, even though we can pick up where we left off at any moment.. cute right?
- Lastly, I would probably online shop more...BUSTED.

Music Monday: The Belle Brigade

I can't stop listening to this song! The Belle Brigade is on tour with one of my favorite bands, good old war. I can't wait to see them at sxsw in March!

Enjoy!

Music Monday

On Thursday I am going to see Mr. Anthony Green perform at a local venue. I'm pretty excited. This will be the third time I have seen him. Living in Austin really spoils you. I guess that's why it's called the live music capital of the world!

Here is my favorite song off of his latest album "beautiful things". Nate from Fun is on this song also. It's so darn catchy!

Home Remedy: Clean Microwave

Wanna know how to get a microwave clean, fast? Well I did, so I hopped onto pinterest and searched for a quick & dirty way to clean one's microwave. Well this crafty little gnome posted a great idea! Simply put a bowl filled with water and a little bit of vinegar in the microwave for a couple of minutes (3 minutes sufficed pour moi). Carefully take the bowl out and wipe down your microwave. No scrubbing required! It seriously was so easy and is my new favorite way to clean the microwave. Not like I really had a favorite way before, but you get it, right? Right.
Thankfully I did not take a before picture of my dirty microwave (G never puts lids on things), but here are the afters!

Happy cleaning :)

I officially suck as of late.

So I got home from Know?Show and have been playing the wonderful game of catch-up. And by wonderful I mean terrible, no fun, dreadful game. But now I've decided to be a real rebel and put the homework on the back burner to blog a little. To start I want to show you one of the youngest, most ridiculously beautiful and cute models I have ever seen. I am positive she could snag my bf from me...and she is 10. Thylane-rose

DIY pillows

These are officially the easiest pillows I have ever made. Well, I may or may not (emphasis on the not) actually made that many pillows, but these were easy! My sister even made some! I found the tutorial here. The instructions were simple and I literally made 2 pillows in 20 minutes!
Please excuse the poor quality of these pictures, I swear the pillows look legit in real life!

They are currently on my grey couch in the living room, and they look fabulous.  My next diy venture is painting chevron stripes on fabric and making those into pillows! That tutorial can be found here. I will post pictures of the final product! Happy DIYing :)
