Keep Calm and Eat Donuts.

You know you're a fat girl when you cut up Dunkin Donut coupons and store them in your car for those "just in case" moments. You never know when a donut craving is gonna hit and it's best to have that "free donut with the purchase of a medium beverage" handy! So I just googled "Dunkin Donuts" to post a picture that will send you drooling and running for the closest donut shop and instead I find a sketch of a naked lady sitting on top of a donut...WHO in their right mind wants to be naked while eating a donut? Let alone eating in general but a donut? She's also very tiny-now that's just false advertising. Instead I'll post this picture taken of some donuts purchased over Christmas break.

Sadly this is also my phone background.

Currently I am on my porch sitting in my new free dump rocking chair. Yep, I said dump. For all I know it's infested with termites but until it falls apart, it's nice to actually have something on our porch aside from a burnt piece of toast and a dead lettuce plant. Inside the apartment is nice and cozy and the outside is a trailer park. The poor apartments around us are probably filing complaints as we speak...It's hard to justify spending money on patio furniture when it's too cold to even go outside. Now that it's February 1st and oddly mid-60s out, patio furniture is all I want to buy! But knowing this weather, tomorrow will be back to freezing so any purchases will have to wait till Spring actually arrives instead of this teasing back and forth.

Today I will post some creative ideas I've found on Pinterest (of course.) that I plan to one day attempt.

I saw an idea similar to this back on one of my favorite blogs (the original idea was to stack several old suitcases on top of each other to form a side table) but this idea looks more put together and purposeful. 

I've become obsessed with chandeliers and have been looking into different DIY techniques, this one being my favorite. Even though it's a Do-It-Yourself project, this one still costs a few hundred dollars. Creating one on a smaller scale would be more inexpensive and still gorgeous. 

This idea is probably my favorite. Using cut up old toilet paper rolls you can create this funky wall decoration. I would probably spray paint mine a mustard yellow to give it a more finished look. I have already been saving my used rolls in preparation for a possible bracelet holder idea but will now use them for this even better idea! You could even use it as a centerpiece or candle holder.

On a completely different note, I found this awesome 5k that will be held in Charlotte next October. I know, it's forever away but it looks SO fun! The Color Run Look it up yo.

Definitely going to sign up once registration opens! 

Now go cut up those Dunkin Donuts coupons - you'll thank me one day!
