*Life Hacks*
Driving Practice
The majority of the adult population may know how to drive so feel free to laugh, but yes driving is a useful life skill. I'm not the most comfortable with doing it but I've been forcing myself to practice so I can get my license before the summer. It's pretty cool being able to get myself to destinations out of walking distance.
Jukebox the Ghost Concerts
I technically saw the Jukebox the Ghost concert at the very end of February but I've been thinking about it weeks into March. I want to make it a priority to see more concerts. It's honestly a great human experience.
*Beauty Choices*
ModCloth Grace Notes Dress
I adore ModCloth. It's my favorite online clothing store. Maybe my only online clothing store. It's just got the cutest things and always a perfect dash of vintage. To get to the point, I bought my prom dress there and I'm kind of in love. It's flouncy when I walk around in it. It's such a pretty cut. I just love the way it makes me feel when I wear it.
Pantene Hair Smoothing Creme
In my years-long quest to find quality hair smoothing serum, my friend may have just pointed me in the direction of something that works. The Pantene line is just fantastic.
*Recent Readings*
Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf
I didn't get to do any pleasure reading in March but oh well, I did a lot of reading for my british literature class. I'm writing a research paper on Mrs. Dalloway, the book that popularized Virginia Woolf. I didn't necessarily relate to Clarissa but the stream of consciousness style was incredibly unique.
Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift
Another Brit Lit reading, Gulliver's Travels is pretty hilarious. I love the lilliputians, that section had me smiling and laughing audibly as I read it. Swift is the king of satire. It's funny how these books we read aren't really so modern but they remain really good at what they do.
*Internet Obsessions*
lorraineloots
Time for some art instagrams. Lorraineloots I've been following for a long time but might as well discuss her here since I'm working on my february watercolor series (yes, it's march) inspired by her. She is incredibly talented and I am in awe of her style. I kind of want to be her.
This guy is also an amazing watercolor artist. I even purchased the same watercolor set he uses, that's how inspired I am. He just has such a crisp, realistic drawing style. I'm so impressed.
*Art Explorations*
White Charcoal on Craft Paper
Another life drawing class. This time I brought some old brown craft paper and tried sketching and then adding white charcoal on it. The dark background really makes the white stand out.
Water Brushes
My grandmother insisted I buy this. Basically how it works, you take off the body of the brush. It's plastic and hollow and you fill it with water. The bristles are made of this cool synthetic material and you can squeeze the brush slightly and water flows through the bristles like ink through a pen. Pretty interesting.*None of these images, excluding the charcoal figures, are my own
