Missing.

SCAD was amazing.

it was so easy to meet people and make friends, the staff was really nice, and except for a few miss understandings, the classes were very cool. i made 3 great friends, Julia, Jesse, and Nancy. they really helped me get through the week there and made it super enjoyable! i was really surprised to find out how much we all had in common and how we had the same opinions on so many things. it was like we had known each other forever when we really didn't. i loved that. In the short week i was there they actually got me to do many new things that i had never done and gave me new perspectives on my life.

they also peer pressured into getting a tumblr! i haven't really done anything with it yet so I'm not going to talk about it to much simply because there is nothing to talk about. Jesse also made me get a lookbook so if you get a chance you should hype some of my looks ;)

i found them very fun and easy to read so if you get a second you should read them!

i have been some what bust making little letters and knickknacks to send my new friends and have come out with a few cute things i hope they like. so far i have a play list, a small picture, and these adorable little foods i made out of polymer clay.

i really like the way they turned out! i will put up a tut. later for them if you guys want it. they don't take all that long to make but they do require a little bit of patients. (may look a little sloppy in the pictures but keep in mind it was my first time making any of them!

well i hope to hear from you all soon and happy posting!

Quite A Repulsive Day.

like a peacock placed in a pen of pigeons i was completly out of mind and body today. i felt as though i had been transported over nite to some odd disgusting world where people poor water or eachother and ask random peirs (who are completly unapprochable) to play rock paper scissors. i couldnt fathom the fact that i was really at school and all these horrid things really were happening. sickening to say the least. i could find no escape as even when i got home my 12 year old brother nearly yelled at me for almost eating his slice of bread even though he had 4 slices of pizza sitting in font of him. im not sure what is happening to me to be honest. the little glam. i had in me is slowly being sucked out. i dont know what to do anymore. the only reasurance i found was in the constant ticking of the pocket watch dangling around my neck and the voice of Cory talking to me about next year and how we wont have to take the bus anymore. i shouldnt have to imagine myself in the future to get me by today. it just doesnt seem right.

besides those annoyances i found myself lacking inspiration today as well. maybe i need a good vacation to france. paris maybe? somewhere where people care about how they look and act. and im sure going to france would help me learn french. i bet my parents would buy that. not. but which ever, i hope i get myself back before i go to SCAD. oh! p.s. its official now! my parents paid and sent in all the paperwork so i am officialy going to be a SCAD student for one week. im pretty enthusiastic when it comes to that. i hope i like it. im sure i will. (:

i am also secretly planning cory's birthday gift. he says he doesnt want anything and refuses to tell me what to get so i decided to make something for him. its going to be a scrapbook of all the things he loves and wants etc. i hope he will like it. i just got a bunch of magazines and printed out some pictures. i will take some photographs and post them so you can see when im done. i love doing things like this for my friends. it means more in my opinion to make something then to buy it. but dont get me wrong, i love expensive gifts! who doesnt?! haha.

on the other hand, i have decided what camera im going to save up for. a fujifilm instax instant camera! its a little camera that prints about credit card sized photos instantly! it reminds me of a poloroid. (; its only $130 at Urban Outfitters so if i dont spend any money for the next 3 and 1/2 months i will get it then! im really excited. i hope it works as good as it seems x)

p.s. i got new facial cleanser today. i dont know if you noticed in any pictures, but i have very bad skin. it gets red and dry, but oily with the ever toxic pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads too. i have tried many things from chemical infused scrubs, to organic washes so my skin has been through much more than it should. but today i whent to ULTA and picked up an acne treament kit from PETERTHOMASROTH to see if this product works better for me than some others. it came with a beta hydroxy acid 2% acne wash, AHA.BHA acne clearing gel, acne spot area treatment, oil free moisturizer, and a max ant-shine matifying gel for $35.00. im not really familiar with this brand but the lady who helped me said her son used it and had related symptoms as me and had great results so i decided hey what the heck? i have only used it one time so far and it didnt feel any different than most acne cleansers so only time will tell. although, for the first time i have actualy felt my skin was very soft, protected, and what made me the most happy is that he excess oil was finaly gone! i felt like my pores could breathe. so hopefully it works! wish me luck!

time check: 5 days left of school :)

haha love you all and hope to speak to you soon!

The Busy Beaver.

im so sorry i havent posted in a while i have been extremely busy and havent found the time to do much of anything. this past weekend was my cousins bar mitzvah and all this week i have been taking exams so i have been studying a bit here and there. i am also annticipating the coming of my braces in just a few days. June 25th to be exact. im not sure what color to get so i have been contemplating that as well. any ideas? i have however found some time to create two necklaces that i swear took me seconds to do. one took about 10 seconds and the other about 5 min. they are super easy and obviously fast so i decided to post the DIY projects below.

Stopping Time Necklace.
*supplies:
- cotton cord. (i used Blue Moon Beads)
- one pocket watch. (the pocket watch took me literaly forever to find and this one was actualy a gift found by my grandmother. {i love her!} they tend to be a little pricey at antique malls or stores so check out garage sales everyonce in a while. {it sounds timely, but its worth it} just dont give up.)

1st: cut a piece of the cord long enough to if you fold it in half and tie it, it will be the length you want. one thing i have learned is that this cord once tied is very hard to get out, so i tie mine in a bow instead of knotting it just to make sure i will be able to get it off later.

2nd: tie knots at the very end on each side of the cord. this will make it harder for the bow to come untied on its own.

3rd: fold the cord in half and put the folded end through the top hook of the pocket watch.

4th: pull the loose ends through the loop on the opposite side.

5th: pull tight and adjust as neccasary.

viola! your done :)

Fabric Frenzy Necklace.
*supplies:
- scrap fabric more than 2 feet long.

1st: if you are using fabric not cut yet then make a small cut in the top of the fabric making a strip about an inch thick. then carefully rip down the fabric to create a frayed edge. do this three times for three seperate strips of fabric.

2nd: tie a loose knot at the end of each strip joining them together.

3rd: begin to braid the fabric making it as loose or tight as you want. *remember its a necklace so if you have short stripes make sure to keep the braid loose so its long enough to tie around your neck.*

4th: untie the first knot and tie a double knot with the two ends of the strips connecting the necklace. adjust the length as neccessary.

tah-dah! (:

i also wanted to say that i have officialy started teaching myself french! if you have any ideas or things that helped you learn a language fast, please i am open to suggestions. i only know a little right now like please and thank you so i still have a lot of work to do. but i am determined so im sure i will get it soon. wish me luck and ill keep you posted :)

on top of that i would like to express to you all my latest obssession. http://www.shopruche.com/. its amazing! they have really cute clothes and jewelry but for way cheaper than say, Urban Outfitters maybe. dont get me wrong, i love me some Urban Outfitters. but at times i feel some of the clothes are a little over priced. soo, ruche just simply made my day when i found it. deffinately check it out if you have some time. they have a special eco friendly section too! obviously everything there is either recycled or organic and i really like that about them. they also have this necklace that i thought looked odly familiar,...

im just saying ;)

well off to bed for me now so i will blog to you all soon!

merci beaucoup.

bonne nuit.
