Disneyland in Pictures

The last picture is my favorite. XD 

Pumped Up Kicks

One of the first pictures that I pinned on my Pinterest were these glittery Miu Miu sneakers. 

I've been wanting to re-create them and I finally did this week. So my grungy looking Chucks went from this...

To this...

I used the tutorial from Honestly WTF to make these sparklers, but changed some things a bit. I didn't have the fancy rhinestones in settings so I used the regular rhinestones. Also I used gold ribbon for the laces. Since the shoes I used are slip-ons, I had to fake out the bottom three holes with the ribbon and some glue. Of course if you use full lace-ups, you won't run into this problem. 


This is a great way to give new life to an old pair of shoes. Plus if you hit the sales or use the coupons from your local craft store, you can do this project for under $15. 


 I'm so stoked with the way they turned out that I'll be wearing them when I go to Disneyland today!


Speaking of "Pumped Up Kicks", I came across this video of Zac Efron and Taylor Swift covering the Foster the People song on Ellen. Enjoy.

Downton Abbey Paper Dolls

I love Downton Abbey (season 2 finale is this weekend!) and these paper dolls I saw on Vulture are so awesome. They are illustrated by Kyle Hilton, who has also made other paper dolls. You can print them out by clicking on the link.

   I knew it had to come to me eventually. It's been a year since I got it and when I happens, I get it hard. It's the flu that is spreading around.

Usually I can tell when I'm about to get sick, so I can combat it with Emergen-C. But it hit me right out of the blue. I took a short nap and when I woke up, I had the chills and later on I started getting really warm and still had the chills. Doesn't help that I work at 8am tomorrow morning. It's a short shift, so I'm hoping it flies by quickly. 


Going to Baron's after work, to pick up my favorite hot soup (creamy potato and bacon, yum.), drink lots of Theraflu, hop into bed, and ride this flu out. I need to get better because my sister is flying in from New York on Saturday night and I don't think she wants to come to a house full of sick people. 

When you get the flu, what are your tried and true remedies to get rid of it?

Be Mine Valentine

Spending mine watching my favorite movies/television shows, painting my nails, and eating Girl Scout cookies. Oh yeah. :D

I leave you with some of my favorite geeky/nerdy valentines:

Sunday Videos: Tesla and Tate

As mentioned in the comments for this video, it would be even more awesome if the guy's raraday suit looked like a Cyberman. 

I can't wait for this weeks episode of The Office. Catherine Tate is back as Nellie Bertram (who was briefly seen during the season 7 finale) where she's now the special projects president at Sabre. Honestly this is the most excited I've been about watching an episode of The Office in a while.
