Anthropologie has Steampunk Lamp?!

Leave a reply
I was browsing  Anthropologie.com seeing all the goodies I can’t have and then I found a couple of beauties! I could not believe that Anthropologie actually carry industrial/Steampunk lamps. They are kind of pricey, well very pricey but beautiful non the less. I wish I could own every single lamp.

The curves of this lamp are fantastic. I just love the industrial/steampunk kind of look the lamp gives off.

I love this piece because of the giant magnifying glass and can you honestly tell me its not sexy?

The beautiful piece above is my favorite one because it looks like a flower in the inside but its the metal work that makes it look that way.

This one up here looks almost like a floor lamp with a magnifying glass attached to it. I just love the presence it give out. It speaks to me “I am all powerful.”
So when you have time stop by your favorite website and take a look and see what new things you can find. 
x0x0x,
Everything in this post is 100% my opinion and not paid advertising for Anthropologie. I just like cute things. 

Easy way to save money

Leave a reply
One of my goals for 2013 is to save money so we can go on Vacation. However, its difficult to save money when life might throw unexpected thing at you.  So I found a easy way to save money.  I found this cute idea on Facebook.  Its a chart breaking down each week and how much you should save.
I am going try to do the Chart backwards because after the holidays I am always broke. So for the first month I will start with a $1 then jump down to 52 in February. 
VIA
I am thinking that I might have to start a different fund for crafting too! What do you think? It will have to be in a much smaller scale.  I think this challenge seems easier to keep up with than any other I have seen online. Especially since in this economy saving is such a hard thing to do. 
I am wondering any of you brave enough to join me? hehe. Wish me luck!
Till Next time,

Goals for 2013

Leave a reply
I know most of the time you think about your goals on New Year’s eve but I do my thinking on New Year. I like to reflect on what I have done and what I would like to improve in myself. I am in a new city and a new year has come to explore the wonders of San Diego. 
1. Go whale watching- I love whales and I would do anything to see one in person and no sea world does not count. hehe. 
2. Save money- I really want to do a lot of activities and travel this year and saving is key.
3. Go see a new place out of San Diego- I want to take a family trip to see more than what’s in my backyard. I would love to see the Redwoods!
4. Run a couple of miles a week - Feeling better about myself is key for me this year. I have a little monster who is full of energy and I need to keep up with him.
5. Learn Photoshop- I would like to improve my photo editing.
6. Watch less TV and do a little more walking - TV just kills all creativity and is something I want to do less. I need to go out and enjoy the outdoors.
7. Improve my blogging- Blogging has become a big part of my life and I want to improve and learn everything I can.
8. Think positive of others- At time I just jump to conclusions instead of taking a step back and giving the person the benefit of the doubt. 
9. Network More - I want to meet more people, just like you!
10. Try to get DIY publish in a magazine- I would love to have one of my craft publish by a magazine.
Tell me what are yours?
Till Next time!

I can’t believe that a New Year has come so fast. Where does the time go?!  Today is a day were I reflect in the last year and look forward to what’s coming ahead. In 2012 I moved to California, two of my good friends got engaged, I blog a lot more and got to go to San Diego Comic Con. If was a very busy year but I would not change anything. 
Thank you to my wonderful followers for the inspiring comments and for keeping me motivated. I have wonderful thing coming up in the New Year. 
I hope you all join me tomorrow for my best post of 2012!
Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday’s

Leave a reply
I hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas. I am every excited to this year because this year my little monster will actually get to open his presents instead of us helping him. I can’t wait to see his face in the morning. I know this are the years I will cherish the most. I also can’t wait to see my hubby’s face when he finds his special present under the Christmas tree. 
Happy Holiday’s to all and to all a good day!!!

Weekend Wrap- up with a real pinterest board

Leave a reply
We are very lucky this Christmas to be sharing it with my in-laws.  My little one loves having family around and of course all the attention he gets. We had a fantastic time at the San Diego Zoo! It is a very different experience from any other Zoo I have been too. You actually get a workout from going to the Zoo. Can you imagine that you have too climb hills but the best part is using the skyram where you can see part of Downtown San Diego. 
One interesting thing that happened was one of the jungle cats though my little monster was a chicken nugget because he kept following him around in his cage. He did not follow anyone else. You better believe I held my son close the entire time. 
If you are ever in San Diego the Zoo is definitely the place to go while visiting.
I also found the most interesting and wonderful thing while shopping at the mall! Do you believe that they have a real pinterest board. Yes, they do, and its wonderful. So whenever your phone is not working just stop by the mall at UTC and you will get your updates. haha.
Its time to spend time with the family.
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and may you be surrounded by love ones and friends. Not by two loudly snoring men.

The World did not end but…

On December the 21st, the Earth will enter a ring called The Photonic Belt, at 1:00 am, when there will be a blackout on the planet and three days of darkness. NASA confirmed it on December 8th, 2012. They say that when it gets completely dark, it will be really cold and flashes of light will occur. Nothing will happen, it’s just an extraordinary phenomenon that happens every 11,000 years.

It is recommended to stay at home, since there won’t be any power and so electronic devices won’t work. The three days of darkness will pass and that’s what the Mayan calendar was referring to.


IF YOU PUT THIS ON YOUR FACEBOOK WALL YOU WILL BE SAVED AND HAVE ELECTRICITY FOR 3 DAYS, INFINITE WHISKEY, 3 UNICORNS FOR PROTECTION, AN ARMY OF MAGICAL ELVES TO COMBAT THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, AN ANGEL WITH THE FORCE OF THE UNIVERSE AND THE HELP OF SONGOKU’S GENKI DAMA TO EXPEL THE DEMONS. FURTHERMORE, YOU’LL APPLY FOR A RAFFLE TICKET TO WIN SAGITTARIUS GOLDEN ARMOR AND A ONE WAY TICKET TO NARNIA!

I just love the holiday season its full of beautiful colors and traditions come alive. This past week was full of wonderful Christmas Crafts. I hope you enjoyed them all and if you miss any of them, then here is what you missed.

Can you believe that Christmas is around the corner, I don’t know about you but this year went by pretty fast and a new one is about to begin. I have to start thinking about new year resolutions.
I hope you are all having a wonderful week and an even better weekend. I can’t wait to take my little monster to ride the train again this weekend. He has so much fun the last time!
