Sometimes, I feel like my blog needs a revamp. Other times, I just feel like giving up this whole blog thing. But I can't! I like blogging way too much to quit.
This blog was encouraging.

Funny Conversations
Witty banter. Oh how I love it. Sometimes conversations on facebook are way too funny for me to just move on from. Thankfully, that's what a blog is for. (Or IS that what a blog is for?)
Accessory Pen Pals
Recently, my friend Kerry and I reconnected. We've known each other since junior high so it's exciting catching up on what's happened in each other's lives in the past 12+ years.
In the midst of facebooking, commenting on each other's blogs, and texting, we've come to realize that we both are accessory junkies. She had posted a picture of her nails in a blog post and I just so happened to notice her midi ring. I commented on it and thus began a fun accessory pen pal relationship! She sent me the cutest midi ring in the mail the other day. Thanks Kerry!!
(Apologies for my unmanicured nails!)
I'm excited to find the perfect accessory to send to you! :)
Bloglovin'
Lately, I've been trying to promote my blog. I absolutely love reading and following blogs and I would love if my own blogosphere can grow to be like the blogs that I follow. I recently signed up for Bloglovin' and it has the cuuuutest iPhone app to go with the site. So, for those of you out there that are into blogs, I highly recommend checking this site out, downloading the iPhone app, and following my blog! Hehe. Happy blogging! :)

practicing // patience and productivity
Yesterday, hubs and I did some work on the garden. We transplanted this random lavender plant and cleared out an area so I can have an herb patch. [Random thought: since English people pronounce the "h" sound in the word "herb," would it be grammatically correct to say "a herb patch" rather than "an herb patch?"]
Anywayyys, so far, I've planted basil and coriander. I am planning to add mint, parsley, rosemary, and thyme. And yes, I plan to add them in that order so they can be in my garden alphabetically. Obsessive compulsive, I know.
I love working on the garden! And I love eating the [literal] fruit of my labor...or in this case, herbs!
Pretty Finds Vol. 3
1. If it wasn't wayyy too complicated of a remodel, I would love to add a window seat to my house! I'd be there allllll the time reading with a cup of coffee in my hand!
2. Yesterday, we were at some friends' house and we were talking about how iPhone batteries just don't last the whole day. This can be VERY annoying unless you have an external battery pack to give your phone a boost. Look at this new cute one I found on Photojojo! I want it!! If this one costs a little too much, check out my friends' company which sells them for way cheaper! (The might not be in a built-in purse, but they definitely get the job done!)
3. Definitely taking part in A Beautiful Mess's Photo Challenge! #abeautifulmesschallenge
4. One of the things I miss now that I live in the UK is shopping at Target! Aren't these little buckets adorable?!
5. I love peonies. And I love green. What can be prettier than this?!
6. I might have to build one of these for all my clothes!
Pretty Finds - Volume 2
1. You thought nail polish was only for your nails, huh? Nope, not anymore!
2. I remember when I first saw the Periodic Table of Typefaces and I thought it was soooo cool! This is pretty cool too, but if they made one with Typefaces, it would be cool²!!
3. How smart and chic is this idea?? A vase on a bookshelf—and it blends right in too!
4. I'd love to visit this Victorian mansion someday!
5. Dreamy color grading puts me in the mood to travel! I need to start editing my pictures just like this! :)
6. If only all honey was sold in pretty packages like this! I'm a sucker for pretty packaging...I'd buy anything!
7. I'm not one to typically brag about my own photography, but I love the way this photo came out...and the edible product wasn't too shabby either!
8. I'm a bit sad that Blogtacular is so expensive! It's only a couple hours away from me too!! Oh well, I guess I'll have to learn the fine art of super-blogging on my own! How do you all think I am doing?
9. I know this is in a store, not in a house, but I reeeeeally want bookshelves like this in my house!!
Pretty Finds
There are so many pretty things online. I love artsy blogs and I hope to someday have a repertoire of blog readers like some of my favorite blogs have! In the meantime, I will refer you to those blogs. Here are some pretty finds for the day!
Happy Wednesday!
1. Fossil's May Playlist. "To Me" by Chet Faker is my favorite, I think.
2. Four Instagrammers to follow. I want my instagrams to start to resemble these types of photos! :)
3. This is GENIUS! How to do a packing tape transfer! I wanna decorate my house with things like this!
4. I used to work at a gift and stationery company so it's only natural that I have a love for pretty patterns!
5. More pretty instagram pics!
