etsy favorite today.

how could you not love these leggings?

morning surprise.

i woke up feeling like i was in the twilight zone.

last night my sister and i had decided we were going to go to the gym this morning and we were going to leave the house at 9. im a very last minute person, and knowing that i would have to take a shower after the gym anyways, i set my alarm giving myself only 10 minutes to get ready. so there i was at 8:50, rise and shine, and off to the bathroom, when i noticed that i was home alone.

where did brittney go? did she go to the gym without me?
why didn't she wait for me?

confusion.

it turns out, she had to take our other roommate elizabeth to work. mystery solved.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL, folks.

when she got home, she had brought me breakfast from mcdonalds and hot chocolate.
<3 roommates.

etsy items + christmas decorationsss

it's been forever since i last posted. but winter is here, and that always makes me want to write.

today was a perfect lazy sunday, filled with snow melting, hymn singing, christmas decorating, christie dupree music listening, cosmo reading, etsy surfing, and mashed potato eating : ) see what i mean? perfect.

HYMN SINGING
we sang one of my favorite hymns today in church called, "Lord, Keep my Heart." the lyrics to this song never fail to bring me to the verge of tears when i sing this song. "

CHRISTMAS DECORATING
i love everything about christmas. but most of all, i love christmas decorating! so much fun. today we put our tree amongst many other decorations. we wrapped all of our picture frames and put bows on them (my mom always did this in our house when we were growing up).

CHRISTIE DUPREE MUSIC LISTENING
if you haven't heard the music of christie dupree yet, do so now! she is the sister of the members of the band "Eisley."

readyy......
go.

COSMO READING
did you know that if a guy orders steak for dinner, this means he really likes you?
that's what cosmo says anyways haha

ETSY SURFING
if i had money, i would spend it all on etsy. i found an illustrator that i absolutely loveeee named Anne Cresci, among some other fun finds.

MASHED POTATO EATING.....yummmmmmm. they are my comfort.
and..
hot chocolate before bed...

i hope i wake up tomorrow and life is just as amazinggg : )

suchmuch.

i have so many random things i want to put on here today.

First of all, I went to see Ingrid Michaelson for the third time a couple days ago. She was awesome, as always. Going to see her is super fun, because it's like seeing a stand-up comedian and a singer simultaneously. She is constantly making jokes, and she is actually quite entertaining. (Videos to come soon). On this same note, I can't wait to see Metric and Muse in October

: )

Next.

just look at this shirt. it's $40 so i'm not gonna get it. but i'm truly tempted.
