This is going to be a post about… a few random things that you may or may not find interesting.

The first thing that has been monopolizing my mind lately is that me and David are moving in August! We are renting this house near campus. Honestly, if we had created a checklist of all of the things we want in a house, this would be it. Front patio to porch it on, hardwood floors, open and full of windows, super nice landlords, back yard with a fenced off section where I can plant a garden… I could go on, but I’ve probably lost you by now :). To sum that up, we are just very excited! I am still waiting on my Texas Tech information (there is still on letter of recommendation I am waiting on), but hopefully I will be attending their graduate program in the Fall.

The one and only drawback to our adorable little house is… and this is a hard one for me… closet space! I have a big problem with keeping things that I never wear, just because they are name brand or expensive or I think maybe *someday* I will wear this. The fact of the matter is, if I’m not wearing it, it doesn’t belong in my closet. A couple of days ago I finally gave in and dug through my closet. I have five bags of clothes and shoes (I haven’t had the heart to go through my purses yet) being sent to Salvation Army, and I actually feel quite relieved to be able to walk in to my walk-in closet without tripping over shoes and belts and pajamas. So… I highly recommend you go through your closet right now!

I stumbled upon this great little knit stool idea on pickles.no. I love this idea! A cute little ball of fluff will make any room more inviting. I find it very hard to find applicable knit and crochet ideas in the summer, so I just love this one!

I am currently working on my own puff daddy project, with a couple of changes. Instead of knitting, I am crocheting. I wish I had the patience to do a big knit project, but I just don’t! Instead of buying yarn (my checking account appears to be shrinking at a rapid rate, lately) I am using a menagerie of left over red heart cheap yarns that will match the color scheme of our future living room. Basically royal blues, greys, blacks, and browns. The last change I’m doing is instead of using two comforters, I am using one on top and then weighing down the bottom with a gallon bag of beans. We’ll see how that goes :).

Last but not least, I want to give this amazing face cleanser some attention. A few weeks ago Ms. Gala Darling posted about this face wash she had been using, MD Forte III. I was about out of my face wash and in the mood to try something new, so I ordered up the MD Forte II (a lower strength version of MD Forte III). Now I don’t think I have bad skin, but I breakout sometimes like everyone else. I tried this stuff, and it is amazing! It completely changed the quality of my skin. If you are in the market for a facial cleanser, I highly recommend this.
Expect two new DIY projects in the next couple of weeks! Hope everyone is having an amazing summer :).
Oh, and I think I’m going to put the etsy shop back up for the summer
