Revamp Your Room: Graphic Art

Hello loves! Welcome to the second installment of the Revamp Your Room series! In our first post, we showed you how to give an old item a new take by simply using spray paint. In this post we’re tackling graphic wall art!

Graphic Art is super funky and is a great way to bring bright fun colours and cool shapes into your space!

For the graphic wall art project you’ll need:

·      Canvas, in whatever size you choose 

·      Three colours of acrylic paint

·      Painter’s tape

·      Paint Brushes

·      Sponge Brush

You can find all of these items at your local arts supplies store, such as “Michaels”. The canvas packages can range from $10-$25, depending on the number of canvases in a package. I got a 2-pack of 12x12 for $10, and it was 50% off! So keep an eye out for coupons and sales! The three bottles of paint I got at my local Walmart, for $1.97 each, and a package of paintbrushes (non-professional) and painter’s tape can be bought for around $6 each at your local art store.

Now that we have everything we need, let’s get started!

Book Review: Archangel's Consort

    Hello all, This review is going to be about the third book in Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter series called Archangel's Consort.

    Before I start on the review this is the third book in a series and in order to really understand what is going on in this book you have to read the first 2 in the series, Angels' Blood and Archangel's Kiss.

FITNESS FASHION AND MOTIVATION

Everyone's been on such a health tip lately! And it's great, because staying healthy and eating right is important. If you're anything like me, it's hard to stay motivated to work out. For me, eating healthy isn't too hard because I'm a vegetarian, and I've trained myself to stay away from sugar, pop, and overall unhealthy foods because I dislike the way I feel after having them!

But the working out part..UGH I just suck at it! So I thought..what can I do to motivate myself? What do I like? I like clothes...and shoes...so how can I mix these with working out to motivate myself? I started looking into fitness fashion and I found that the fitness is it's OWN WORLD entirely. And I started getting into sport wear and the fitness lifestyle!

Getting cool clothes to workout in, and some cool sneakers and accessories actually MADE me wanna work out and use the stuff I got.

Music Monday | Summer Jams

Heeeellllooo! SO, SUMMER’S ALMOST HERE! For those of you still writing exams, HANG IN THERE! You’ll be partying under the sun soon enough!

Since the weather has been warming up in our corner of the world my sister and I have become re-obsessed (truthfully we never actually stopped) with the song “Steal My Sunshine”, by LEN. It’s been on our minds, so we’ve been tweeting about it. Funny thing is LEN actually tweeted us back!

They’re super cool, which is probably why this track exudes just that. The minute this song comes on I feel like I’m no longer under the grey skies of the GTA, but rollin’ down the streets of Daytona on a vespa. Whether you’ve forgotten about it, or have never heard it before, it’ll definitely get you in the summer mood. Plus, the video is pretty awesome too!

The songs’ chill vibe and catchy melody make it the perfect throwback in the summertime, and are the reasons it’s on my list of best summer jams.

Forever 21

Hi dolls!

So, it’s safe to say that I am addicted to Forever 21. Seriously though, what’s not to love? Their clothes and accessories are inexpensive and really cute. I’ve been getting my summer wardrobe ready and obviously that means a few trips to Forever 21, in store AND online.

Shopping in stores is good if you need to try things on before you buy them or if you aren’t always sure about your size. It’s also nice to pay for your clothes and be able to take it home with you. I always like to buy my accessories in store because some accessories don't work on me. 

What I like about shopping online at forever – other than the fact that I can shop while in bed – is that you can always exchange the clothes in store or get a store credit. It’s as easy as bringing your receipt and whatever you want to exchange to a store. I hate when you have to ship things back if they don’t fit, such a hassle. I tend to find better deals online AND they have a bigger variety online than in stores. Another bonus to shopping online – the feeling you get when you get home from a long day at school and have a package from Forever 21 with a bunch of new clothes to try on! It’s the best :)

Here are a few of the things I recently bought from Forever 21:

Maxi dresses and skirts all $18.80 & under at Forever 21 

Necklaces: $3.80 & under
Bracelets: $11.80 & under
Rings: $4.80 & under
All from Forever 21

     Let us know what your favourite stores are and have fun shopping my darlings, kisses!
