DAY 1: HAPPY PLACE

A little while ago, I found a tumblr tag called 31 Days of Self-Care. It involves daily activities that calm you down or cheer you up, all through the month of December. The whole idea is just really original and nice! Aaand the fact that it has a few drawing challenges thrown in there isn't bad either.

This is my first post for this challenge (obviously I'm starting extremely late but I wanted to do it on my own time whenever I could anyway).

Prompt: What’s your happy place? Reply here or illustrate it.




If you decide to do this challenge too, leave a link in the comments because I would LOVE to come check it out.

      I actually LOVE the gigantic bean bag I have in my college apartment so much. That's what I thought!

    love this! I also love that you're doing this at your own pace; that in and of itself is a form of self-care. doing challenges always stresses me out, so what you're doing is super smart!

    my happy place if I have energy/want to be around people is my favourite table at the library. it's right by a window in the YA section, and I love working there. if I'm at home/resting, it's the end of my bed. I have an electric throw and one of those bedrest support pillows. I could spend hours watching anime and readings there.

    can't wait to see the rest of this challenge!

      thanks! <3 I hadn't thought of it that way but you're right and challenges always stress me out too so I'm really liking how this flexible approach is working out. :)

      Both of your happy places sound absolutely amazing. Especially the bed, I have a thing for cozy fluffy places lol. I like the way you think! I've literally spent hours watching tv shows, we got married, running man clips, etc. I have this weird thing where I can't really devote myself to full-sized books when I'm busy because I hate having to read them in small bits.

Waiting on Wednesday {2}

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where you talk about books that you can't wait to read, but that are, unfortunately, not published yet.   In a Handful of Dust by Mindy McGinnis Publication date: September 23, 2014 Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books The only thing bigger than the world is fear. Lucy’s life by the pond has always been full. She has water and friends, laughter and the love of her adoptive mother, Lynn, who has made sure that Lucy’s childhood was very different from her own. Yet it seems Lucy’s future is settled already—a house, a man, children, and a water source—and anything beyond their life by the pond is beyond reach. When disease burns through their community, the once life-saving water of the pond might be the source of what’s killing them now. Rumors of desalinization plants in California have lingered in Lynn’s mind, and the prospect of a “normal” life for Lucy sets the two of them on an epi...

Book Haul + My First Guest Post (!)

Guys, guys, guys, guys. I did my very first guest post at Tansie Gray's blog Totally Tansie  and it was awesome collaborating with her! Tansie's blog is full of hilarious book reviews, rants, and writing tips. I had a great time writing the post: "10 Ways to Make Your Sister Mad"  I'd love it if you could pop over to Totally Tansie and check it out (And maybe leave a comment. Hint, hint). [][][][][][][][] I also went to my favorite used-books store last Sunday. I didn't get as many books as usual...Not many YA novels *gasp*. I felt unfulfilled. But I didn't want to spend what the books cost, so I snatched a few middle-grade types.  1. Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep by Gail Carson Levine A short fairytale re-telling of Sleeping Beauty in a funny, simple way. It's very  short. 107 pages short. 2.   The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan Book 2 of the Percy Jackson series! Now I can finally read it and see how it measures up to th...

Airplanes and Sky

Remember when I talked about big travel things that I was going to do this summer? THE TIME. HAS. COME. IT IS HERE. YAY. As you can probably tell, I'm just a little excited. Me and my family are headed to Taiwan this summer for my uncle's wedding and since plane trips aren't really a regular thing for us, it'll be awesome.  If you know me even a little bit, you know that I love  traveling and gosh I'm just so excited to be able to be in and see another culture for a little while. *happy dance* Another reason I'm writing this is to tell you about how I get ready for major trips and whatever little tips I use to make traveling easier. Maybe they'll help you in a future trip. ^^ Any trip needs music, but especially one where there are multiple long layovers and a hugely long flight over the Pacific Ocean. I've been updating the music on my phone (music helps me sleep so much better too), which is fun and boring at the sa...
