Literary Genius!

This website makes the literary nerd in me jump for joy. If only I had a book to publish! I'd love to make a picture book of Charlie but I need to 1. get a better camera and 2. I want to go get actual prints and do a photo album. Yeah, I'm that old school :)

It seems like self-publishing is a huge trend though. I read a little about it in Gretchen Rubin's book The Happiness Project, she dabbled with that and loved it! My favorite bookstore in NYC, McNally Jackson, even has their own printing machine!

If you're in the Soho area go check it out btw, that bookstore is one place I could spend all day in for sure!

Friday Favorites

I hope you all have a great weekend! Shaun and I are doing something different and going to see A Midsummer's Night Dream in NYC! My favorite actress, Bebe Neuwirth is in it and Sunday is their last performance! It looks amazing with the set and costumes!

The whole back of the stage is a mirror!

Some favorites of mine for you to explore:

This website made me laugh so much - www.drinkify.org
You type in what music you are listening to and it gives you a drink and its' recipe to go with it. There is everything from Justin Bieber to Aerosmith on there.

 

Can you guess what those are ^? They are Nutella shots! The name alone sounds so yummy and I am dying to find out how you make them. I love me some Nutella. (Picture from Pintrest)

 

That beautiful piece of art up there is the Sephora + Pantone Universe Shades of Nature Eye Shadow Palette. I was kind of upset the other night and while I was looking in my e-mails, one from Sephora saying this was available for beauty insiders first, came up. So naturally, I bought it in my attempt to cheer myself up. I didn't even think, I just clicked buttons, but I'm glad I did because this thing is beautiful. Also, Sephora's eyeshadows (from their brand name line) are gorgeous and are really well formulated and pigmented. At $55.00 this is a total steal!

I bought this dress today from H&M for only $12.95! It's more of a blush color than a cream color but it is so cute. I'm going to NYC on Tuesday to be trained for an internship I'll be starting soon and I think with my black blazer over it and some nice shoes, it will look awesome!

Finally, this dress I also got from H&M and it is gorgeous. I am totally in love, and now I just need to find somewhere to wear it to! It was $24.95, and so worth it.

Gonna go see me some Shakespeare!

Ah! I am beyond excited right now. I bought tickets to go see Bebe Neuwirth in A Midsummer's Night Dream! It is one of my favorite plays by William Shakespeare. Yeah, I am a Shakespeare lover; I even took an honors Shakespeare class my senior year of high school!

I asked my boyfriend the other night if he would consider going with me and he actually said yes. I'm really happy we are going together, it will be fun to go to NYC just the two of us. Since tickets were sparse and the last show is May 20th, I bought two tickets for an 8 pm show on the 19th. I was hoping to get a 3 pm showing so we could do a late dinner, but I guess we'll just be doing an early dinner now!

The pictures I've seen on the internet look amazing and all the reviews have been fantastic.

 

I mean how gorgeous is that? And at like 53 she is stunning. Truly she is one of my biggest role models. I'll let you know how the show is!
