{ White & Gold }

When I was browsing through my Pinterest boards, I couldn't help but notice some similarities in color palette between these three photos. I've been lusting after a gold french press for many moons. One of these days I'm going to bite the bullet. In fact, I woke up this morning to a broken coffee maker (that was fun, by the way) so it looks like I'll be needing to purchase a new coffee making apparatus soon. Does anyone else out there use a french press on a daily basis? I would definitely like to have one, but I don't know if I'm ready to give up the coffee maker. 

Also, it's snowing here in Cincinnati. So I'm just crossing my fingers that I'll be getting an email any moment from my teachers canceling class :) Wouldn't that be amazing? I think I might just be dreaming, but all I want to do is cozy up on the couch and read my new book. I settled on "The Good Girl's Guide to Getting Lost" at the book store yesterday. I've only read the first chapter, but I love it so far! I'll keep you all posted.

Thanks so much for stopping by today, everyone. lovelovelove.

{ One of those weeks...}

Monday did not play nice. After waking up feeling sick and tired, and a major flub in one of my classes, I finally came home from the library around 8pm ready to take a shower and wash off the bad karma of the day. 

But then my shower door broke. And while I was standing inside the shower to fix it (which did not work) I accidently hit the faucet knob and was soaked with freezing cold water from head to toe while fully clothed and wearing shoes.

I went back to my homework and finally laid down to hit the hay around 1:15 but could.not.fall.asleep which was confusing as ever because I was exhausted. I finally got to sleep around 3 and woke up 3 and a half hours later to get ready for the day. Lovely.

I have a quick break before a meeting about a group project (I'm currently working on 3. OY) and then it's off to work I go. Since my procrastinate now and panic later tactic is giving me gray hair, I'm going to switch things up. From now on I'll  stay on campus in the library or Starbucks after work for three hours to do homework/tend to other obligations. I find that if I go home I'm too easily distracted and getting anything finished takes twice as long. I'm hoping this new method of working will keep me ahead of the game while still allowing for some relaxation in the evenings. Because sometimes a girl needs a glass of wine and free time to browse the blogosphere. 

What about you guys? How do you stay productive? 

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week. Thank you very much for stopping by.

{ Comfy cozy }

I woke up today reaching for anything comfy and cozy that I could curl up in. I think my brain is going too many directions lately because I just can't seem to get rested and energized this week. I believe it's getting to be the time to break out the Vitamin D and amp up my workouts again to try to perk myself up. Also, I woke up this morning and realized I was out of coffee. Isn't that a horrible way to wake up? I know I can stop and pick up a coffee on the way to class, but I'm the kind of gal who needs caffeine as soon as my toesies hit the flosies.

 

I have to go get ready for class, but we all know if I had it my way I would be getting dressed in an oversized cable knit sweater, grabbing a pumpkin spice latte and heading to browse a flea market :). Sigh. What I would give.

Hope you all have a wonderful day, thank you all very much for stopping by.

P.S. I'm going to have to start scheduling blog posts for the morning so that I have it in me to blog about something other than cozy beds and coffee. I'm on it ;).

{Monday Morning}

this bike with a basket has me dreaming about starting my morning off with a bike ride to pick up coffee and a paper and some fresh flowers from a corner market. ooo how lovely that would be.

Sadly, I overslept a bit this morning and now I'm in a frenzy to get ready for work,

but I just wanted to pop in and wish you all a happy Monday. I snapped a few pictures of the apartment over the weekend but some of them still didn't turn out well, so I'm hoping to get a few others first before I post them. I'm thinking investing in a tripod would give me much better pictures. I'll have to look into that. Does anyone else have one? 

I'm so not ready to leave my bed and greet the day just yet, but it's calling my name. I'll be back later today with another update so check back! Have a great morning everyone <3
