Stumbleupon Sunday {3/17}

These are some of my favorite links that I found on Stumbleupon this week:

31 Insanely Easy and Clever DIY Projects: Who doesn't need more crafts to make? Certainly not me or anyone for that matter. DIY FOR ALL!

Simple Ideas That Are Borderline Crafty: Here is some more DIY, I really love the food color and Elmers glue that creates a sea glass look on clear glass. Just more projects I need to add to my to do list for the summer.

Best Teen Movies of All Time: Can't decide what to watch? Here is the list of the best teen movies; starting the list off with The Breakfast Club. Half the movies on this list are some of my favorites like #5 Easy A, #7 Back to the Future, or #14 She's the Man. I hear plans of a movie night in the near future.

Throwback Thursday: Betchiest Trends of the 90s: This whole website in general is pretty awesome, which I've come to find out. But all these awesome trends from the 90s like tamagotchis and Polly Pockets kicks my nostalgia in the ass.

Paris for the Indie Traveler: The only thing stopping me is the amount of money it takes to buy a  ticket. Get me a ticket and I'm gone.

Strasbourg's Cutst Neighnourhood- La Petite France: It looks like it's a small world, without the creepy dolls.

Belle of the Ball Polyvore: Beautiful and fashionable outfits inspired by iconic Disney characters. As a Disney and fashion lover, I thoroughly appreciate this.

6 Super-Weird Beauty Tricks that Work Wonders: What we do for beauty. The one about acne and eye drops is really awesome and something worth trying, especially for big days or events where pictures will be taken.

How to Travel Full-Time for $17,000 a Year or Less: I feel like I frequently tell my parents that all I want to do with my life is either sleep or travel the world. I think the second one sounds more exciting and this website shows you how to possibly do it. Maybe this is what I'll do after I graduate high school, take a gap year. I can hear my parents now, "Like hell you will." We shall see.

Tulip Fields, Wind Turbines and Canal, Holland: Gorgeous photo of tulip fields, wind turbine and canal, obviously. Tulips make beautiful ground rainbows. Holland is definitely on my list of places I want to visit.

How to Travel: 14 Travel Myths Debunked (Part 2): I like that experienced travelers can really give an insight on some common misconceptions with traveling. Might make you think twice about many places, in a positive and negative way. This couple runs a pretty awesome blog so I recommend checking it out and learning about their traveling experiences. Here is Part 1.

Until next time,

Stumbleupon Sunday {3/10}

Stumbleupon is simply one of favorite websites, because it's not just one website. You sign up, fill in your interest and hit Stumble. You are then whisked away to places of the internet you would have never gone before. Magical. Stumbleupon is a great way to kill time but also insight creativity. These are some of the best websites I've found this week:

Dancers Among Us: Stunning pictures of dancers in everyday life

100 French Food/Drink Words and Phrases: This makes me what to set up a really nice, white table cloth dinner and dress very nicely as I serve guests le vol-au-vent et rôti les pommes de terre. How Fancy.

22 Artworks with Clever Use of Negative Space: Lovely and very artistically inspiring.

14 Places to Fall in Love with France: I thought it was hilarious that this showed up since I've been on a French kick all week. The pictures make me want to find the next plane leaving out of Dullas to Paris and peace out!

Who What Wear: This website is basically a really awesome online fashion magazine.

Songza: Music for any time of day. Literally. Do you need music for a Sunday afternoon read? Or how about Thursday night for working, but with no lyrics. It's more specific then Pandora could ever be.

calm.com: Lord knows I need this on a daily bases. You can chose from a 2, 10, or 20 minutes of relaxation while a soothing voice talks you through relaxing your body. I think we all need to remember to do this everyday, if even for a few minutes. It changes how the entire rest of your day does and that matters.

Most Gawked All-Time:  Craft Gawker is DIY HEAVEN. I have never been so inspired to MAKE THINGS. So go! GO MAKE THINGS

Useful Life Hacks: I never tire from seeing different life hacks. Many of these are actually very useful.They make it feel like I'm cheating everyday life.

The Hunt: Every seen something on the internet that you wanted but had no idea where to find said item? Its a daily occurrence in my life. With The Hunt, you join a huge community of others in search for the things they've seen and want. You post a picture and others help in the search to find that item or items online.

Hope you enjoyed this first Stumbleupon Sunday!

Until next time

Favorites of the Week {3/8}

These are some of my favorite videos, websites, and just things that I am totally loving this week.

Aaron Tveit interview with Broadway.com: I loved him in Les Mis and he is gorgeous. And like, holy mother of god, he has an apartment in Astoria and if you haven't have read my previous blogs, my last two times I've been in New York, I stayed in Astoria. Not like it's a big deal, it's just my fangirl showing I just love seeing his face and he is a wonderful actor. Ugh. His eyes. His voice. *swoon*

Taylor Swift Parody song: This showed up on my dashboard a couple weeks ago and I still think it's funny. Listen to it a couple times and you start to sing to it. gonE 

Camelbak water bottles: I've had a camelbak for a almost a year until it was stolen (I don't know why anyone would have wanted mine, it looked *ratchet* from me chewing on the holder). But my mom bought me a new, which actually holds more water than the one I had. I love these water bottles because it makes it much easier to drink more water. I highly recommend them.

30 Reminders That The World Isn't Such A Bad Place After All: Buzzfeed is one of my favorite websites to kill time with. This list should make you feel a little better. maybe say "awwwwww" or "lololololol" Eitherway, is should improve your day.

CollegeFashion.net: Hayley G. Hoover mentioned this website in one of her videos a while back. It has become one of my FAVORITE WEBSITES EVER. It's geared more to poor college students but I think it's also amazing for poor high school girls as well. I love how it's a very nerdy sort of fashionable website. They always have outfits inspired by popular culture that is raved over by the internet. They update multiple times a week, so i recommend you follow their twitter and their facebook page to never miss a post. It's basically everything I want my blog to become. I'm in love!

Kick-Ass bookshelves: Another one from Buzzfeed. Being the bookish bitch that I am, I have great appreciation for the many ways one can store books. I have  two bookshelves that I've arranged by color, but visual, it's not enough. My favorites are 4, 7, 8, and 11. This list should surely inspire you other bookish bitches or bookish bros.

 Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins: I re-read this wonderful piece of YA literature this week and I am in love with it as much as I was the first time I read it. It's been a "wanderlust-is-kicking-my-ass-I-want-to-be-in-Paris" kind of week so I needed a dose of a cute French speaking British boy and description of France. I got my fix in and yet I am not fully satisfied. I also recommend Lola and the Boy Next Door by Perkins AND pre-order her new book Isla and the Happily Ever After that comes out on September 17th of this year. You will definitely see a review after I've read it.

Stumbleupon: If you have never used this website, you are not enjoying the internet to its full use. What stumbleupon does is that it takes you to new, different websites based on your interest. It's easy to find new and awesome things that you probably had no idea where on the internet. I've bookmarked so many of the websites it takes me to, just for future references.

Here are some of the websites that have been my favorite:

• Useful Websites
• Plot Scenario Generator
• Most Gawked of all time on craftgawker
• Town with no roads

Hope you enjoyed this! I am trying to post more activly on my blog so I plan on making these a weekly thing!

Until next time
