Dad's Birthday Inspiration Boards


Today is my daddy's birthday. I love him so much! He is so good to me. He is strong in the gospel and does things he doesn't want to because he knows it will make him stronger and it will be a good example for his family. He works hard to pay for me to go to school, for me to follow my dreams, for me to live.
Happy Birthday Dad!

this is my favorite picture of my parents. so darling!

ALSO: here's a little peek at my Inspiration boards in my room. I change them every once in a while, but it's so fun to get inspired everyday by the beauty that is around me. Inspiration for outfits, colors, words, EVERYTHING happy and pretty.

Do you have inspiration boards? I'd love to see them!

Welcome to my Art Studio

I've been needing a space for a long time dedicated to being creative. My room is just way too small.
So I decided to turn an unfinished room in the basement into my very own Art Studio.

It's messy and make-shift>but I love it!

a place for my past smash books

a cozy rug cause it cold down there!


COLORS


Being able to take time out of my day to paint, sketch, create is so great. It slows me down, calms me down, and gives me an outlet so I don't hold everything inside. 
It's my little corner {that i share with my sister :)} and I love it!

Cheers! Make it Happen!


Cheers Followers!


Today's post is dedicated to MAKING IT HAPPEN. I have a lot of sparkling dreams that I keep saying I will get done, but the truth is--I won't. There's always an excuse. {I'm tired, I'm sick, It's too much money, It's too scary...} But honestly--you just have to make it happen. Celebrate little victories until you make it to the top. and don't forget to look back every once in a while and see how far you've come. You can do it. You just have to jump in and make it happen.

TIM: Things I've Made: Colorful Washi Keyboard

My keyboard was SO boring and I'm always looking for Washi Tape crafts, so when I saw this idea on Pinterest--I had to #doitmyself.

Mine is just a random pattern, but you could for sure make it aabbccaabbcc or all the same color or all the same washi if you wanted--just be creative! :)

Nail Polish Shelf #obsessed

I've ALWAYS wanted a shelf to hold my polish...like they have in salons-ya know!?

Well, I was at Claire's and saw this on sale and snatched it up--it was PERFECT! 
I love looking at it everyday!

I think I may have more nail polish than I have lip gloss....oops.

Sister Date

A dear family friend that my two sisters and I have worked for for years {me during high school and sporadically when i was home for summers; the kessa when I left for school and sporadically over holidays; and now sadie while she is in high school}, gave us the sweetest Christmas gift:

A gift card for the movies and a yummy dinner at Red Robin to be used out on a sister date. :)



We went to see Thor: The Dark World cause that movie is amazing!


YuM! Then dinner and DESSERT at Red Robin.


It was such a GREAT time together that we really needed. Love you sisters!

TIM: Things I've Made {Cheers}



Drinking out of a Champagne glass makes anything taste 98% better. And when your glass has quirky vinyl on the side?  i'm done. pour me a glass of bubbly and i'll be shinin' the whole night through.

I have an addiction problem



Hi, my name is Keisha.

And it's been 0 days since I've bought new LipGloss.

I'm addicted. This picture is honestly 1/4 of my full collection...it was really hard to choose which ones to photograph. They are just so CUTE! And they make your lips pretty...SO...I think I'll quit LipGloss Anon and go saturate my lips in ParisNights. Okay. Bye.

Frankenstein

A few weeks ago I got to go on a gal-date with my girl AshleyG. We work together and have become really good friends after we bonded over Supernatural, Tumblr, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, theatre, etc, etc, etc....

So when she heard they were showing a filmed version of the "Frankenstein" play with Benedict Cumberbatch--we HAD to go.  

I still have daydreams about it. It was absolutely INCREDIBLE! WAY better than I thought it would be--I could have watched for days!




Then we went to Cheesecake Factory--yum!!





Best day EVER!! AND guess what!? we get to go see "Coriolanus" with Tom Hiddleston in a couple of weeks! Oh my gosh! I can't wait! I love being able to be friends with someone who understands my extreme fan-girl and love for British actors. :)

Bookshelves

The thing I love most in life are books. Because they can transport you anywhere. Even though my room is incredibly tiny, I still have to make room for my books.
 Not only are they fun to read, but they're beautiful to look at!
