Ideas

So, I have always loved the idea of having a blog. I love writing and I love the ability to just sit in front of my computer and put down anything that comes to my mind. But I lose interest easily. I write a few posts and then quickly forget and go on wistfully thinking of new ideas for a blog I will never be able to fulfill.

I needed something that holds my interest. Something that will (hopefully) make me want to keep writing. What do I like to talk about the most? What is the most interesting to me? What would I keep talking about even if no one was listening? Sex!

Everyone loves talking about it, not to mention doing it. So why not write about it?

If Carrie Bradshaw can do it, so can I ;)

Apartment Dreaming

Being a 22 year old who lives with her parents, I have often dreamed of how it will be when I move out. The freedom and everything, of course, but mostly I dream of decorating and organizing. I have always loved redoing my bedroom as much as possible, to the point where my father enstated a six-month limit when it came to helping my sister and I move our bedroom furniture. So, the idea of having a whole apartment to completely obsess over until it is perfect sounds just like heaven! With my plan of moving out this fall drawing nearer and nearer, my online browsing of home decor and organization become more and more intense.

 Here are some trends I am loving and will (hopefully) be having in my apartment this fall:

1. Kitchens that are organized, yet cluttered. Like this one. 2. Bar carts!

3. Dark colors in rooms with a lot of natural lighting. 4. Exposed shelving

5 & 6. I know these are huge trends, but I am loving lucite and mirrored furniture.

Break Up Mix

Break ups suck. We've all been through it, we've all hated it. We've all belted out songs at the top of our lungs with the windows down at night. Here is my ultimate break up mix, from slow sad songs to whitty pop, to empowering songs that remind us just how amazing we are on our own. Fuck the rest.

Spontaneous Beach Day

Start small, right? So, for my first post I thought I would just share about how I spent my Saturday. Since I got off of work early, I picked up one of my closest friends from his house so we could hang out. We didn't have any plans and the weather was nice for the first time in a long time so we decided to go to the beach!

Living on the northshore of New Orleans the gulf isn't too far away. The gulf in relation to Louisiana, though, is swamp. However, the coast of Mississippi is only an hour away. We honestly expected to drive an hour just to run into a dingy strip of sand that met the gulf and then drive home laughing. So we made the short road trip, with a lot of laughing and dancing, and followed street signs and google maps to this awesome beach! There was almost white sand, fire pits, a pavillion, and it was right next to a marina full of pretty boats.

We immediately parked, walked along the beach and what we thought was a pier that ended up being closed. We talked about our dumb luck, took pictures of the sunset, and vowed to come back when we could lay out all day and build a bondfire in one of the tiles fire pits while drinking beer with more friends. We drove along the ocean, spotted a seafood restaurant, and pigged out on fried shrimp and fries!

It was getting late so we headed back, with a detour where we tried to find a Krispy Kreme but failed, and made it home. I was tired, but elated about our spontaneous day and the prospect of long summer days on the beach with a beer in hand.

Oh how I wish it was spring!
