My little corner of the world

I love my room. I hate the fact that it's cluttery, but it is my HOME, and the place I spend most of my time. I wanted to let you in and show you some of my treasured little spaces.

Yes, it is 2:25 am when I took this photo. I don't sleep much. I feel like I'm missing out on life.
This is what I got goin on this month. If you can't read it, September 21 says Peace Day.
This is where I keep my jewelry. Some of these things though, I haven't worn in years. I need to downsize my jewelry collection..
I love my owl earring stand. My BFF gave it to me for Christmas last year.
A little handmade dish and "Love" thingy I got from an art store in Tipp City, Ohio. This is where I keep the earrings I wear day to day.
This is my beloved Gemini. She has stumpy legs and a tiny head and a real big belly. Hehehe she's so funny. I love her. <3

i'm sick. i have affluenza.

No, not influenza. I have affluenza. Defined as : affluenza, n. a painful, contagious, socially transmitted condition of overload, debt, anxiety and waste resulting from the dogged pursuit of more.

I have too much stuff. Too many clothes, too many craft supplies, too much jewelry, too much junk.  My room is looking cluttered and my closet is so stuffed. And my wallet - is - empty.

I'm giving myself a challenge. The whole month of September, I'm not going to buy any more stuff.
No more clothes.
No more trinkets.
No more candles.
No more whatever.

I mean, I'm sure there will still be things that I'll need to get, like toiletries and whatnot. And if a friend invites me out I can't turn 'em down. But I need to be frugal.


I want to save up to go to Korea. 

Kind of a silly goal, I think, being that I'm too scared to drive to the mall by myself, but for some reason, I'm so in love with Korea, I think I'll have the courage to actually do it. Like when I was in 8th grade and my dad and I went to Minnesota. At the time I was soo obsessed with Minnesota (because Josh Hartnett lived there.. yeah. .. .). We got a hotel room with a view of a parking lot and the roof of some restaurant. But I opened up those curtains and was so overwhelmed with joy. I was in Minnesota!! And the parking lot/roof view was breathtaking to me. <3

Yeah, I think Korea's gunna be like that.


So for the next month, I'm going to confess everything I buy. Judge me harshly.

Not gunna lie though, this t-shirt from threadless makes me want to break this vow right now!  lol!
 HA! .. ooh goodness. :-P
