Can you believe it's Wednesday already?! I can't! Thankfully, it's time for another Question and Answer post. Fun questions this week, thanks for always keeping me on my toes! xo
Q: What are your favorite bands?
A: My favorites are : Thrice, The Dear Hunter, Sigur Ros, Cursive, and the Beatles.
But currently, I am loving : Dr. Dog, The National, Tokyo Police Club, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Soap and Skin, Battles, and ohhhh so many more!
Q: What are some of your favorite movies?
A: I'll start with my two favorite filmmakers: Wes Anderson and Jean-Luc Godard. I am in love with every film they have made, and they have a large part to do with how I see the world. Other films I love are American Beauty, Amelie, Lost In Translation, An Education, Almost Famous, and Rear Window.
Q: Do you watch Glee?
A: I do. It's a fun show. Rachel reminds me of myself in high school.
Q: What is the craziest thing you've ever done?
A: Craziest, eh? I think that would be my whole drug life I used to live. Talk about CRAZY!
Q: What are your favorite blogs?
A: It changes daily. I love so many different kinds of blogs, but here are a few I love always. I love these fellas blogs: A Continuous Lean, Dude Craft, Them Thangs, and Chemistry Of Cool. For fashion and style, I always turn to Caroline in the City and Olsens Anonymous. My favorite food blogs are Cannelle et Vanille and the Gluttonous Vegan. Home design blogs are great, and I always return to Design*Sponge and Unhappy Hipsters. I also love music blogs, so I run one with my friend Chemistry of Cool, called 365 Songs for Chelsea. We post songs we like daily, so if you like hearing new music, tune in! If you have any blogs you think I should read, leave me a link!! I love to see what you think is groovy!
Q: What do you do to stay fit/ eat healthy/ stay energized.
A: To stay fit, I run and do yoga 4-5 times a week. I'd love to do more, but this allows me to be lazy. I try to eat healthy, but I think it comes easily, since I'm a vegetarian. Take advantage of the season and enjoy the fresh foods available locally! I love love love the taste of healthy foods and fresh produce. As far as staying energized, I've always been a peppy person, and I think it will always be part of who i am. I know that I've mentioned vitamins before, but I know that 5-HTP is a natural mood enhancer and I take that daily.
Q: What size shirt did you use for this week's DIY project? I'm a size 12 so what size shirt would you suggest I get to make that cute shirt you made on Tuesday?
A: I think it was a Mens Large, not sure what size that would be in women's. I would suggest that you get a shirt a size larger. I had to tailor my shirt to fit, once I'd created the neckline, so you'd actually be better off if you got a shirt that fits!! If you get a larger shirt, you'll have to tailor the back of it, so that it doesn't sag.
Q: How is your life right now? {via jgracic}
A: My life is a whirlwind. I recently described it to a friend, saying I feel like I'm caught in a tornado. I've really been struggling lately with getting my voice heard and not feeling like an individual. I've disappointed some people who are very close to me, and by burying my emotions, they often explode out of me at all the wrong times. I guess I'm learning, and I always will be. That is life, after all. I am excited for the summer, and hope that I'll be able to enjoy some of it. I know all my hard work will pay off in the future, but right now it's just plain hard. Thanks for asking babe ♥
Now for something fresh...
This week, I've been Trying New Things!
1. Reading Rainbow
I started working on my Summer book list, with "All the Pretty Horses," by Cormac McCarthy. It's a short book, and so far it's amazing. I hope to take time away from my TV and computer screens this summer, and really loose myself in books like I used to. I'll let you know what I think of this book once I finish it!
2. Let It All Out
I often let things build up inside me, and this week I let it all out. I realized a few things that I'm unhappy about in my life and made a decision to change them. It's scary, but feels really great to have a clear head and idea of what i want in the near future. More details soon.
3. Summer To-Do's.
I made a list of things places that are within 3-4 hours of where I live that I'd like to visit on day trips over the summer. Also made a list of dinner dishes I'd like to make this summer, as well as bbq items!! So many good movies I'm looking forward to seeing as well as albums coming out. Lots in store for the summer... I'm so excited!
