Stranger in a Strange Land

“In my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for EXACTLY what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you. The right person is still gonna think the sun shines out of your ass. That’s the kind of person that’s worth stickin around.” — Juno (via kari-shma)

Signs When I was growing up we used to take biannual trips to St. Louis to see my grandparents. One of the things I remember very vividly about their two-story colonial is the smell of the honeysuckle bushes along their sidewalk. My mom taught me to break them open and lick the inside to taste the sweet honey nectar. It is such a distinctive smell that I don’t think I smelled honeysuckle again until I moved to Austin. In the summer there are honeysuckle bushes that line the hill up to our apartment complex and on my walks with Easton the smell would hit me and instantly take me back. Crazy how strong smell is tied to memories. Anyway, the point of all of this was that since this summer I’ve wanted to reproduce that smell with some honeysuckle candles and haven’t found any I love. Today I got this email from Pier one to let me know they are on sale, and yesterday I got $40 in rewards to spend at Pier one. IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS PEOPLE. Anyone else love honeysuckle this much?

Umm I don’t know what Jorge is trying to pull here, but I definitely thought of this first. Ask anyone, I always eat my cupcakes like this! It’s so much better then getting a bite of all icing, or worse- all cake. Try it next time, you’ll thank me (or Jorge). thedailywhat: Sweetass Sandwich of the Day: From the glorious mind of Jorge Garcia (natch) comes this dead-simple method for turning an ordinary cupcake into a cream-filled cake sandwich.

Someday when I own a house, I want to put every item that I’ve coveted from blogs the past few years inside of it. This would equal the most mismatched, eclectic style interior ever… but maybe that’s my actual taste- everything PLUS the kitchen sink. Anyway. Point is, I love this chandelier.  kari-shma: Bubble Chandelier | Design Milk This lightweight chandelier by Jean Pelle is made of 12 hand-blown glass balls and 3 clear globe bulbs. Clusters of balls and bulbs are held together by cables wrapped in cotton twine.
