day off

  Today, today was a good day. It was my only full day off this week and I originally had aspirations to get out, do a lot of running around and cleaning, but ended up alone cuddled up in my bed pretty much all day. I know I sound lazy but hey, everyone needs a day to clear their head and just relax, that's exactly what I did. I picked up my room, lit my favorite candles, put a comfy sweater on, bumped my a/c up in my room to like 65, played calm music, and just let my rooms aura swallow me whole. It helped me tremendously, more than I thought it would actually! See, lately I'd been feeling very stressed and short tempered...like I was letting a lot of little things get to me that just normally wouldn't, so I took this day to just clear my head. I feel a thousand times better, thank you day off.

I also wanted to share a few pictures with you of the treasures I've acquired the past few weeks- I recently paid a good long visit to my favorite vintage shop in downtown and left with a perfectly distressed american flag and rad ohio tee(I fell in love with the awesome font) and the "to be free" necklace is one of my favorites, I was drawn to it at Free People and just had to buy it. I love the fact that it's engraved and has a little dainty quartz crystal on the end of it. The crochet place mats, I found that set of three hidden at my job as I was closing one night and bought them all the next day without a thought, aren't they perfect?

  So it's a wednesday night and I found myself with some spare time and decided it was a good idea to finally share some pictures with you all. 

One thing I like to do is decorate(as I'm sure you can see)! It's something I've always had fun and loved doing, it comes very natural to me. I specifically have a love for the rustic vintage look, it makes me feel so at home and cozy. And the look of it, if pieced correctly is just simply breath-taking. I've found most of my things from second hand stores, the hunt makes it a lot more fulfilling for me personally. I love the idea that it was once someone else's and it's one of a kind, It's like it has it's own little story. It fascinates me really, and makes me treasure each and every piece I have even more because I found something beautiful after searching in a store full of just "stuff".  

Oh, and I'm always re-orginaizing and moving things around constantly because I really enjoy change, so expect to see a lot of updates on my room and décor/clothing thrift-find posts in the near future, it's my main hobby! (:

Oh and the adorable fluff ball you see, if you were wondering...that's Cleo. I rescued her from a local shelter as a kitten just under a year ago and couldn't be more blessed. She's loud, fluffy, soft, and lovable as can be. She loves me unconditionally, as do I to her.
