my week in instagram #54



Hello you beautiful people! Long time no see! I successfully finished my first week of school, and will hopefully get on a normal schedule so that daily blogging can be resumed. In the meantime, please enjoy these instagram photos from the past two weeks. I finally got a cell phone again, so the my week in instagram posts have been revived!

1. Matt's brand new BMW. It's a chick magnet for sure and I love riding around in it with the sun roof open and awesome music playing.
2. Finally got to meet little fluffy Dusty. Such a cute little pup!
3. The beeeautiful Oregon road. I love the miles and miles of farmland.
4. Playing monopoly! We have our own rules because monopoly isn't long enough as it is.
5. A cute little kitty I spotted lounging outside on a warm day.
6. Matt was super helpful in helping me unpack. He liked hiding in random places, under the bed being the perfect spot to freak me out.
7. PUUURPLE HAIR!
8. Cutting up some yummy potatoes for dinner. I've literally eaten like twelve potatoes in the past three days.
9. My roommate's decorations. She's hilarious.
10. The color run, round two! (Post to come!)

How was your week? I hope it was fantastic!

artsy fartsy

Well I am happy to say that it's been a successful first day of classes! My day started bright and early with a drawing class, then a basic design class, and ended at night with a graphic design class. Yep, it's been an artsy fartsy kind of day, and currently I'm loving it (I'm sure I'll take it back when I'm neck deep in art homework ...). For now, I am really excited to learn all I can about graphic design and art in general. I'm a studio art major (+ English) rather than a graphic design major, but I'm taking most of the graphic design classes just because that's the most interesting to me (other than photography and ceramics, which are the other two concentrations I'm taking), plus it's really applicable in this day and age. I can't wait to be able to take what I learn and actually use it in life.





I hope you have a great day!

Hello beautiful people! If you follow me on instagram, then this is old news, but I just dyed my hair purple! Last year at the start of school, I did the whole "sit in a chair in the bathroom surrounded by my floormates and have a dying party" thing and ended up with really fun purple hair, but that first color had more red undertones and I just dyed it once and let it fade back to my normal color. This time around, I did a lot of research on dyes and how to care for hair because I want to try to maintain the color, so this dye has more blue undertones. And I'm basically in love with it. It still catches me off guard when I pass by a mirror, but it's super fun and looks different colors in different lights and I've already gotten a lot of positive feedback, including one fun comment, "you are my hair inspiration!" It's really exciting and I'm super happy with the results.

Also I'm finally moved in to my new apartment and will be starting classes bright and early today. It shall take a bit of time to get into a normal schedule, so things may be kind of quiet around the blog for a couple of days. But all in all, it's really good to be back in Oregon.





Have a great day everyone!
