Some fun finds at Savers
Dress: 4$

I know I’m starting to sound like an American Express commercial, but It was such a blast digging through undesired goods,
and well..finding things desirable! And for a whole outfit under 10 bones, I’ll take it!
Last weekend we took a nice little road trip to Big Bend National Park
and then proceeded to Terlingua.

Everything was soo dry–and dusty and beautiful
And Last but NOT least the great Ghost town of Terlingua
surrounded by the sky
I thought the place had a LOT of character–UNTIL I met the locals
pretty–amazing people
Terlingua: Faces and places that will want to see again soon!
This weekend, I had a fun little project in mind and it required a jigsaw.
I wanted to make a necklace holder, so that I can finally get them out of the tangled mess they’re in.
I will admit, that this project has been the most challenging one yet, but well worth it!
Requires thick plywood, a jigsaw, wood stain, and a handy boyfriend is pretty helpful! thanks Aaron!
Here is where the idea is inspired from, the full diy guide. Check it out!
This heat has my thoughts elsewhere.. What better to do this summer than this? I will just be somewhat distracted until then..
Luckily for me..Bonarroo is in a week and half! yessss..
Images from last year…
When telling time was distinguishing between light and dark
Our shelters
So put it to your ear:)

Mother’s day this sunday..Why is it so hard to buy for mom on Mother’s day?! It should be soo easy, If your mom is anything like mine; she’ll LOVE it no matter what ..just because its from you! But for me–because she has done so much for me, no matter what I look at-It just doesn’t seem worthy. Spending some time looking around I started thinking “If I was a mom what would I like?” LOL I know, the idea is a little far fetched-but I love gift hunting-not exactly gift buying if that makes any sense.
So I found some super cute and super affordable “mom” gifts that I like:)
super cute flower head find it here
Easy and maintainable and definitely eye catching. find it here!
Haha I just find this one hilarious! Not your average “mother’s day” gift but I love it! find this here!
And for the modern day crafty moms-that won’t make you a sweater but they’ll create a few pillows or two!
Cheap and portable urban outfitters has a lot to choose from. find it here*
Anywho..this post is just a reminder of mother’s day this weekend if you haven’t got to it yet. Plenty of time to send in a card and get it there by then:) I know I’m bad at that..till next time!
It was a toss up between Lotus or Tiesto
Unwilling to pay the price for Tiesto we were fortunate enough to catch Lotus at Emos.
I wish I could have bottled up the energy, the vibes, and the music.
It was a venue with 2 outdoor stages and one inside, all playing live music.
Last night was the first time we’ve ever discovered the 2nd outdoor stage
And needless to say I fell in love with it
With a crazy storm going around us, I was cozy underneath the venue roof surrounded by everyone dancing.
I couldn’t differentiate the raindrops from the sweat.
This very moment was what I was looking for in Austin all along.
YES, Austin IS weird after all.
Looking through my pictures I can’t find 1 that even justifies the atmosphere.
And words can’t explain it.
Sometimes you have to close your eyes to see.
I like to call this a portrait
A “not so mellow mushroom”
I think I can find some wall space for this.
Speaking of wall space, me and aaron have been getting in the habit of being poster bandits
heres a few we picked up in the past couple days
This one is my favorite- you literally need 3d glasses for it and who doesn’t like 3d?!
How I feel sometimes: little girl with a big glass:)
And lastly, but not LEAST of course:
Aaron’s birthday candles that I made 
Oh my love:) hope you enjoyed your birthday, glad to celebrate it 5 years in a row–♥
He’s one of the best parts of my day EVERYDAY
Gonzo:)
He’s a rad little unusually royal dog
And yes ..this is how I have to check my emails but I dont mind it..
Just thought he would be the perfect to talk about- b/c hes adorable..dont’cha think?
Aaron’s friends stopped by Austin on their hitchhiking voyage and paid us a visit! It was really great to have their company, can’t wait to visit them in Portland.
Lolly gagging lol— hiking to matts tunes was pretty entertaining
Even did some painting together
Left one bird hanging upside down–maybe he blends in too well..no one seemed to notice..oops
Coffee, ah just what my sleepyhead needs.
Sitting at the coffeehouse with Aaron. While he works, I try to reflect.
b.t.w. props to Dominican Joes for their scrumptious honey cream latte. yum!
Its 9 am and I’ve been up for a couple hours already (very rare).
Been to a meeting and back and fighting the urge to go back to sleep.
Starting my new job has really inspired me to be motivated
And also made me realize how lazy I’ve been. oops.
*Never realized how lost I really was until I got my g.p.s stolen. All of a sudden, I don’t know how to get to places that I drove to everyday for the past month?
Ridiculous, I know, Aaron has been really patient with me calling him all the time for turn by turn directions to work and back. hehe
How did I not even know which direction I was heading or which way I came from?!
* Oh and names, not my forte only because I probably never cared enough to try to remember.:-/
I can remember your entire order the next time you come, but I will never retain something as simple as your name.
That’s gotta change.
*Most importantly, I realized how clouded my visions were when I was job and location hunting.
I wanted only certain jobs with killer pay in an amazing city.
Wow, was I in for an awakening b/c its never that easy or that glamorous.
Not only did I think that I could land a job on my first interview by just getting them to like me
but little did I know that killer pay and entry-level is an oxymoron and the better the city the stiffer the competition.
Slowly but surely I’m realizing that I need to gain experience first before I can be part of a dream Ad Agency.
And that I need to make it here in Austin first before I try to make it in San Francisco.
I’m gonna be honest, leaving my comfort zone has been a real challenge
But I’m happy about the thought of this: Reflecting on realistic goals has really help me with growth.
Came across this image. And it made me think. Happiness, Is it really this simple? HA!
Ok l’m done with all the “serious” talk. Toodles for now!
The Bloom of Life exploding in colors
To comfortably roll your windows down and let your hair blow in the wind
Something so calming about spring’s chaotic storms
Shedding layers of clothing and to let in a little more sunshine
Kayaks in the water, dogs jumping into lakes, and people finding leisure in everyday surroundings
Such a photogenic season–and even funner capturing it
Found this image pretty inspiring for spring
*Hope everyone had a good Easter:) Toodles
