Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe Halloween! We got breakfast with Jen and her husband, Ryan before they headed back on their long drive to Denver. It was so lovely having her here, but it definitely made me miss her more now! After that, we visited with my Dad, ate lunch with Brett's parents, and went to see Paranormal Activity. I actually thought it was spooky and awesome! I'm not the type of girl who likes those gory gross awful movies, so this one was pretty perfect for me. Afterwards, we went home, got dressed in our costumes, and waited for the trick or treaters to come. Peter came over to stay the night because he was in town so it was lovely to see him! Six o'clock arrived and no trick-or-treaters. This was our first time in this neighborhood and after about a half hour realized we don't get many kids around here! I had 5 all together. It was such a bummer! But I had fun sitting on the stoop, waiting for them all to arrive. I stuffed my face with candy.

I dressed up as a cat for my fourth year. It's always my go-to costume. We left the house early to head to GR because of the lack of kids. We got downtown and found the show, which was at a pretty sweet place. It was a "house-show" at a kid's apartment, but it felt like a venue. It was lovely catching up with some friends and seeing familiar faces. Afterwards, Brett, Peter and I came back to the apartment. Felt like old times, like last summer.

Let's see what happens

Happy Wednesday! We're halfway through the week already. Life flies, honestly. The weeks go by like minutes. I feel like it's all flashing before my eyes. It doesn't help that I'm so busy though. I've had some pretty crazy life changes lately and outlooks on it all. All I know is that I'm so content with the future right now. No matter what, I will have a very comfortable lifestyle after graduation and I couldn't be more blessed, not to mention I get to stay in my home state. Once I hear more about it all in a week or so, I'll announce more news.


Today was a beautiful autumn day, I had a great time in my classes, and I got to see Jen for a little while today, which was perfect. I adore her. I really hope I get to see more of her tomorrow night, and hopefully some on Friday night too. I'm seriously Jen-selfish, but I just love her to death and I want to take every minute I can get!

After class, Brett and I went to his parent's church so Brett could be a pirate in a skit they were putting on. We got a couple slices of pizza, some cupcakes and Brett played his pirate part. His mom wanted him to play it because he has tattoos and "nose-balls"! Haha! (his septum piercing), isn't that hilarious? Noseballs. ps; Did you know I have a septum piercing too? :)

New Found Glory

It didn't rain today! Alert the masses! I've been in love with using scarves as shawls instead of cardigans just recently. I've run out of cardigans and needed something else to spice up my closet. It keeps my arms warm, and it opens up lots of possibilities for autumn! Come winter, I'll definitely have to start investing in some more cardigans but for now I'm content! We snapped a few shots in downtown GR before heading over to the show.

We got dinner at The Grand Coney (it's been forever!) and then went over to The Intersection in downtown Grand Rapids for the mini NFG tour before they hit their real big tour with Dashboard Confessional. Our really good friends, Kaline, opened up for them. They did such a great job. They are such a great band; definitely the best pop punk in GR! After that, Fallen from the Sky and Title Fight played (very good!) and then New Found Glory headlined the show, which was awesome. They played a really unique set where they didn't write up a set-list, but instead took requests from the audience and they played over 20 songs! I loved seeing lots of friends in one place for a super great show. It was our friend, Tim's, birthday. Happy 22nd, Tim!




(tim and brett)



Adored seeing Brenna, per usual. She's the sweetest friend.



I'm pretty sure Jordan is looking right at me for this one.

Nice!



I put together a little playlist of my favorite NFG songs. If you haven't heard them before, check them out. I've adored this band since I was fourteen years old. 9 years ago! Holy cow, I'm getting to be an old lady.

Demon Tattoo Design

Also one of the most popular for of tattoo design, the Demon Tattoo Design is used in ancient and modern tattooing and in many different tattoo cultures and modern tattoo design genres. Demons are potent tattoo designs, rich with meaning and symbolism.

The Demon Tattoo Design can be also be seen from its roots during the ancient Greeks which they had the word, daimon, which meant ‘a divinity’, or ‘a manifestation of divine power’. But In most cultures, demons had a reputation for evil, causing pain and suffering to humankind. They were tricky, sly, and had the power of prophecy, which was very useful when leading poor, weak humans astray.

Go away, rain!

Go away, rain!
And don't come back another day.
I can't tell you how annoyed I am with the mass amounts of rain we've been getting here lately. They're awful for taking photos outside! I don't like my indoor shots either. We tried some tonight. I'm super picky about lighting in our apartment, so everything is super dim and cozy and so it's really hard to get nice indoor pictures. Brett and I were like, okay, we'll get them quickly! And I end up making faces like this, hahaha! Oh well, that's life. Bad fashion shots. ;)

I worked all day today missing out on class but gaining on cash! It's very rare I can grab some extra hours, so I wanted to do that while I could. It was a good day, busy, but good. I'm tired of going outside into the dreary, cold rain. Yuck. What an autumn so far. We've had like 3 beautiful autumn days and that's about it. I really hope this weekend isn't so terrible for Halloween. We're running out of October days! Can you believe it? This is our last week of October! My favorite month. Ugh, what a total and complete bummer!

Jen visits!

My best friend, Jen, is visiting from Denver, Colorado! Eeeeee! We had this whole day planned for forever, I swear, and it finally came, and was one of the greatest days ever. I loved seeing her and it was like she never left. We picked right up where we left off. I picked her up and we drove out to Grand Rapids to visit Robinette's. We walked in and out because there were way too many people! We walked around in the apple orchards for a few minutes, got a few pictures by the corn maze area. Love the way they turned out. ♥


(us!)

(jen!)

We drove downtown so Jen could see the remnants of Art Prize! Nessie was still up and so were the table and chairs. I'm just really glad she got to see Nessie; definitely my favorite. She loved it too, obviously. (We're seriously the same exact person! I knew she'd love it!)


(jen+nessie)

We walked everywhere, which was so great! She got to see a lot of stuff new in Grand Rapids and see a lot of the old stuff too, of course. We even got yummy autumn drinks at Biggby (a Michigan favorite!) We took the back roads back to Grand Haven to see the colors. We got into Grand Haven and I was finally able to show her my apartment! We walked downtown Grand Haven, down to the pier and back. That is a super long walk and it didn't even feel that long because we had so much catching up to do. We just talked the entire way. We got dinner at Pavilion Wharf and walked back to the apartment to watch a movie and our favorite TV show, Desperate Housewives!


(us on the end of the pier on lake michigan!)

Loved it, love her. I miss her dearly. We've been such good friends for such a long time. It's no surprise to me that we've stayed such good friends even with her living 1,160 miles away. We just have that kind of friendship that'll never end and I adore that. Even though I wish we lived 5 minutes away still, she's an amazing art teacher in an amazing state, and I admire her so so much. What an amazing friend. What a wonderful day.

An October day

I thought it would be fun to do a blog post each month where I took a typical day in the month and take one photo every hour. It would just be fun to look back on and see a normal day, in a certain time period in my life and the things I saw and did. So every month, I want to do something like this! Preferably on a normal day where I do something that defines the season. It was very hard to keep track of every hour to take a photo, so these are approximately one hour increments. ;) So, enjoy!


11:17 am - wake up, fiber one bar

12:25 - heat up leftover pizza for lunch

1:57 - halloween usa to look around

3:30 - green acres to buy pumpkins and caramel apples

4:20 - told brett to sweep the kitty litter up in the laundry room

5:30 - vacuumed and cleaned the stairwell

6:22 - made this sign for our hallway

7:30 - carve pumpkins in the kitchen

8:17 - finished carving pumpkins!

9:00 - waiting for the seeds to dry

9:17 - eat my caramel apple

9:45 - finished pumpkin seeds!

Fall rain

I've decided I'm going to stop complaining about the weather and instead just live in the moment, whether it's rain, sleet, sunshine or hail. Michigan's weather is just so completely unpredictable! I never know what to wear. That's why layers are lovely and I can just pile them on in the mornings, take some off after work and pile more on in the evenings. Today was warm and wonderful when I got out of work. Obviously, it was raining, but it was kind of amazing. Warm rain, what a thought. We've had so much rain this autumn.

Tonight, Brett and I got pizza for carryout and rented movies. I walked out of the video store with an arm full of movies, popcorn, candy and sodas. I'm stuffed on pizza and Jujyfruits. I kept having Brett take them away from me because I couldn't stop eating them! Now we're home, watching Addams Family Values on ABC Family's 13 Nights of Halloween. I adore ABC Family's annual holiday events. I love watching movies like Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, The Addams Family, The Addams Family Values, Hocus Pocus, Casper, The Haunted Mansion, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (a must!), Halloweentown/Halloweentown 2 and Monsterhouse. I just adore little kid's Halloween movies around this season. Love autumn, leaves, Halloween, pumpkins, apples. What a perfect time of year, I love immersing myself in the seasons.

Colder days are coming

I'm figuring out which trends I want to try this upcoming winter. I'm loving the whole "over the knee" boots style because not only is it super stylish, I also won't even risk getting wet socks this year. Obviously, I must go with the leather choice because in Michigan, if you go suede in the snow, you'll get white stains from the salt. So I'll be ordering the middle pair of boots as soon as possible. They're flats (perfect for walking downtown), leather (wipe clean), simple, black and perfect. They're exactly what I need and affordable!



(boots: sm luxe suede over the knee boot $129.95 | chinese laundry
turbo leather over the knee boot $79.97 | dollhouse studded
over the knee boot $79.95)


As for hats? As much as I loved my berets last winter, I'm going for the beanies this year with the slouchy look to the back. I copied my husband on this look, actually. I bought a black one in Chicago from the Army Surplus store for $11.00. But here are a few examples of the slouchy beanie. Super hipster in Michigan ;)



(beanies: bdg at urban ribbed slouched beanie $28 | bdg at urban
slouchy beanie $18 | forever 21 crochet beanie $7.80)


I definitely need a few more cardigans for colder days! They're perfect to mix and match and play with belts and everything else. The left one is such a fun pattern and I just see so many possibilities there, but the solid color ones are always perfect for mixing. I love the zipper effect on the middle one, perfect simple element.



(cardigans: topshop knitted fair isle coatigan $110 | topshop
knitted zip long cardigan $80 | bdg shaker stitch cardigan $58)


And last, but not least, I need a big, chunky, knit scarf. I'm thinking h&m on these, because I've seen so many Chictopians with amazing scarfs from h&m, but obviously you cannot find any of their product online, so I chose a few from different stores for inspiration and ideas.





(scarves: topshop space dye knit scarf $36 | f21 rainbow yarn
scarf $10.80 | f21 smocked striped scarf $8.80)

Kinds of Death Tattoos

There is only one thing that is certain in this universe, Death. Yes, thats the truth and certain. Every one of us are going to die. Death is inevitable. No one is an exception. Right from the start of your birth, you will travel the so called life then eventually die. From whatever status of life you are right now, Leader, Rich, or poor we will all be consumed by fire(cremate) or by decay.

There have been many symbols that represents death, but these following popular symbol have been used as a tattoo. The classic symbols and Kinds of Death Tattoos are the Skulls which represent the aftermath of Life, the Grim Reaper, Demons, and the Devil, who at the moment of Death comes to collect your Soul, Angels and Spirit Guides, which some believe will escort you to Heaven, an afterlife or Spirit World, or any of the many agents of Death, those animals, creatures and objects that we have come to associate with the termination of Life.
