I'm a huge animal lover, and I fully support advocating for those that need forever homes. If I had endless funds and resources, I would create a huge sanctuary and be a craaaaazy lady. You know, the kind that talks to the animals and expects a response back...I don't currently volunteer at a shelter, but I try to...
I can't believe it's almost November! It appears I've taken a bit of a break from my blog this year, and I tell myself it was to go live life a little more. Maybe that's true. Either way, I'm back to share some of my favorites I've been sitting on for a few weeks. Happy Friday! Enjoy. :)...
I've had a bit of a Minnesota-themed bucket list since I moved here 7 years ago. Seeing as how there is always so much to do in the Cities, it's quite long! However, I've been able to cross a lot off, including going to a Wild game, a Red Bull Crashed Ice, and a show at First Ave....
I'm not usually one to share about my shopping experiences on social media or my blog, but in this case, I'm making an exception. :) As most of you know by now, I volunteer with Make-A-Wish. (I cannot sing the praises of this organization enough. If you're interested in getting involved, I'm happy to answer any questions!) I...
*I had this post all geared up for Friday, and I completely blanked on publishing it! Well, a few days late and a few dollars short, but I hope you enjoy either way. :)* Favorite Quote Favorite Commerical I lose it every time he says "You're killing me!" Too cute! Favorite Guilty Pleasure Show I'm sure by now...
I have an unfortunate addiction to reading the comment sections on YouTube videos and online articles of any kind. (Come July 1st, I started my attempt to go 30 days without it, in hopes my faith in humanity can be restored. Thanks for the motivation Ashley!) I've been noticing a strange trend lately, where the comments always turn...
Happy Friday everyone! While I have a lot of great rants and random thoughts coming your way (Yippee! Or "Oh no!"), I have more favorites to share with you in the meantime. There is just too much awesome stuff floating around the internet NOT to share. Enjoy! Favorite/Cutest Video This video was made from a couple right here...
Here is a round up of some of the awesomely hilarious/cool/crazy videos I found this week. Happy Friday! I have shown this video to SO many people, and for good reason! I just think it's so funny! Hugh Jackman is clearly a good sport, and to hear him laughing as he goes around the track makes it even...
For better or worse, I was an MTV/VH1 baby. I remember the days when cable came with an A and B side, and I would switch it over to B to watch music videos. (Remember when these channels actually played music videos?!) I would watch every morning before my ride picked me up for school. There sure were...
Favorite Song/Music Video I LOVE this song, and I think the video just looks like it was fun to make...for everyone but the main singer of course. (Ouch. Some of this looks like it hurt!) Favorite Heartwarming MomentThis man is homeless, yet he so selflessly offers to give half of the lottery earnings to the guy who gave...
I've been on a DIY kick lately, grabbing whatever lonely piece of furniture I can find to rehab and breathe new life into. It may be because of my love for HGTV shows, but I am starting to see the potential in items I normally wouldn't. (It's probably also because of this fabulous blog I follow: LiveLoveDIY.
It all started with my friend Shannon's dresser. She sold it to me for a really good price, but it was clearly a bit dated. I decided to throw some classic black paint on there and change out the hardware. It made such a difference for so little money; I was hooked!
I decided my next project would be a bar cart for my apartment. I went to Goodwill one day and found an old but sturdy microwave cart. Despite the years of caked-on spider webs, I could see the potential in it, so I bought it. At $7, it was a steal! I used the same black paint as the dresser (there was more than half a gallon left, why not?), grey and white chevron-printed shelf liner, and some silver spray paint for the wheels.
I had a gorgeous white and silver tray that my mom got me from Pier 1 that worked perfectly for the top of the cart. I bought a hanging stemware rack, and found a 4 bottle wine rack for $2 at Goodwill. With that, my car was complete! I added some finishing touches, like a mason jar full of adorable paper straws. (I just don't know why, but I think they're so cute!) I'd like to get some bar art for the wall behind the cart, as well as more variety in the liquor. After that, we're good to have a party! :)

If you recall, I have the obnoxious but awesome talent of recognizing people in obscure roles, and connecting the dots to their other work. (You can see that post here.) My newest revelations have come from reality tv, with stars who have what I call second careers. They somehow stretched their 15 minutes of fame into regular work,...
I'm not sure what it was that initially got me walking down memory lane, but I started thinking about all of these random things from my childhood. Each and every one of them brings me back to a certain time in elementary school, a much simpler time that I sort of miss! The days where we would go...
I'm the worst blogger in the world. I go months in between posts! (You've all missed me, right?) I will say, however, that I usually need to be inspired to post something, hence the hiatus. So thank you for bearing with me while I wait for inspiration! I've run across a lot of favorites this week, so I...
I know quite a few people who, in my mind, are dead ringers for celebrities or characters they play. I just had to share them in hopes others would agree! Do you see the similarities? *I apologize in advance to those pictured above, because I didn't ask for permission to use these pictures. If any of you actually...
