Giggles and Glitter

Hello Everyone!! Happy Wednesday to you!

This summer I will be moving to a new town to go to college, and all I can think about is how I am going to decorate my new room when I get up there. I have found a few extremely cute and relativley easy-looking D.I.Y's on Pinterest that I think would look remarkable in my apt.

This is probably the thing I am looking most forward to doing. Right now I don't have a headboard, and I think this is just such a cute and very do-able project. I found it on Pinterest, but here is a link to the blog if you are interested in doing your own headboard!

 This ruffled pillow is adorable! Its a little upsetting that there wasn't a link to the original page for a step-by-step tutorial. :(

So Adorable!! I would love to do a larger version of this! Here is a link to the blog with step-by-step instructions!

Such a great money and space saver!! Here's a link for a tutorial!

I can't wait to try this out!! SO cute! I can already imagine these in a corner of my future room! Here is a link!

Hope you enjoyed!! Let me know if you decided to try one of these super cute D.I.Y's or if you have an amazing one yourself!!

There are many things that I am afraid of. Most of these things I can get over pretty quickly-like wasps or the dark-, but there are a few things that will always creep me/freak me out!

1) Cockroaches.

Probably the grossest thing alive. Just writing about them right now is making me nervous. I feel like this fear of cockroaches runs in the family because my two sisters are also very terrified of cockroaches. I don't really know when this fear began; I guess it's just been with me my whole life. There are a few things that have definitely heightened my fear though.

I remember when me and my 2 sisters shared a room I saw a cockroach on my sister's blanket.Now I am not sure if this actually happened because I was very little, but it seems very real in my mind. My Aunt also once told me this horrific story about her own cockroach encounter, but it is really too gross to go into detail on my blog; just believe me when I say it was a horrific story.

2) Fire.

I can not stress enough how scared I am of fire. Now I can handle like a candle burning or a fireplace. it is more the handling of the fire that scares me. I will NOT light a match. I will NOT do that thing where people swish their hand through the fire (idiots), even though people say it doesn't burn. I am also scared of the possibility of a house fire. Just the thought of losing everything is very scary. The fear is more towards losing my pets than my possessions though.

3) Hills.
Now, I am more scared of being in a car stopped or parked on a steep hill. It just freaks me out soo bad!! I'm always afraid I am going to roll backwards and die... I guess I am being a little dramatic, but they really do scare me .. A LOT!!


OK those are my three biggest fears. If you end up doing this too please leave a link down below. I would love to read them. :D

Now, I told myself I would not do a post on The Hunger Games, BUT I couldn't help myself. So here goes.

I heard about The Hunger games back in January 2012 from people I watch on YouTube. I ended up reading the books and falling in LOVE with the trilogy. Ever since I have been eagerly awaiting March 23 to arrive!! My best friend and I made t-shirts even to wear at the theater.

I must say that I am a Peeta girl. If you have been following my blog then you probably already know this since I tend to talk about it alot. If only all guys were like Peeta Mellark! *sigh*

Anyways I thought I could share some of my favorite Hunger Games things I have come across.

"KONY 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice."

I have been seeing the Kony 2012 video going around youtube and being shared on facebook. Normally I just look past all of the "trending" things; however, I am so thankful that I didnt pass this one by.

 When I saw that it was 30 minutes long I thought I wouldnt make it through the whole thing and that it would bore me, but it didnt. It will keep you captivated till then end.

Please watch. You definatly won't regret it.

Dear Monday: I love you because you are like an extension of my weekend. I have no classes to go to on this day, so I get to just sit around the house and leisurely do my schoolwork. I am going to hate it when you become a normal Monday next fall!

Dear UJ: Thanks sooo much for taking the time to take pictures of me. I am going to miss you while you are in Atlanta!

Dear Mississippi: I love how you are already getting warmer!! Keep it up because your cold winter has left me very pale and I need to get a-tanning.

Dear Microsoft Phones: Why cant you have a better market?? I am always left out of experiencing the cool apps because of you. Please improve!!

Dear Blog: I love you; even though we don't have very many followers right now. Hopefully that will change, but for now I am happy with the 6 we do have.

Dear Closet: I need to fill you up more. I guess that means I must go shopping!!! :D

Today was a B-E-A-UTIFUL day!! The weather was perfect!! So, today I got my Uncle to take some pictures of me for my senior pictures. And by some I mean 741  !!

We decided to go to the lake to take the shots. It took almost 2 hours, but we all (Me, My Aunt and Uncle and my cousins) had a lot of fun.

This picture cracks me up. My aunt told me to act crazy, and this is what I did!!

Obviously, This is only a few of the pictures we took. I just scrolled through a few and picked some since I have not really taken the time yet to go through every single one.

I hope everyone's Sunday was amazing!!

Ness :)
