CUTE
I’m pretty sure I’ve told you once or twice or a thousand times, how I love to paint my nails. I completely suck at it, but I love it. Probably the hardest part yet my most favourite part is picking out what colours to put on (One colour cannot grace an entire hand of mine!) Anyways.. saw this little video today and HAD to share…. ohhh being a girl is way too fun.. :)
Happy Sunday!
If you don’t go to a church in Vic…come to mine! Adore - 6:30pm, 1800 Quadra Street (tonight’s message- You can’t put a condom on your heart! ha, get there!!!)

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
Fact: I’ve always loved Valentines Day.
A holiday that encourages me to eat chocolate and watch chick flicks? Count me in. In high school my best friend Laura & I would wear these matching heart t-shirts and curl our hair in the hallway. I always give out Valentines. Ya, ya, ya, I know it’s also Single Awareness Day but to be honest, I never felt lonely on Valentines Day.
Here are some practical DOs & DONTs to get you through the day…
DO
1. Spread love to others! You can’t really be sad & lonely if you’re loving other people!
2. Eat LOTS of chocolate.
3. Pray for your future mate. (God’s got this one covered honey, TRUST HIM.)
4. Hang with friends! Watch a comedy, go out for dinner, have a party.
5. Spend some time with Jesus. He’s the one who loves you most.
DON’T
1. Watch too many chick flicks.
2. Look at Wedding Blogs.
3. Pin your future wedding.
4. Not eat chocolate.
5. Let the enemy tell you, you’re going to be alone forever…YOU AIN’T!! God’s prepping your MOG for you!!!!!
This is my first year EVER with a boyfriend on Valentines Day, so I am SOAKING IT UP. Already he’s surprised me with two love notes (one hidden on my car door handle and one on my computer). Ah, a year ago our feelings were just beginning to blossom and I mustered up the courage to give him a Valentine..we had an awkward hug and nervously chatted. Ha! The past year has flown by and now we’re over 10 months into our relationship.
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
I love you James Liira.
Happy Valentines Day everyone!

DIY: JAR LOVE
oh heeeey there,
it’s currently raining outside…usually i don’t mind the ol wet stuff, but today it’s making me quite uncomfortable. It’s supposed to rain all weekend too. Which usually sucks, but this weekend I’m working at my other job, where if it rains, it gets busy so rain = $$.
ANYWAYS…all this rain calls for one thing this weekend… CRAFTERNOON
Here’s a lovely one that I made with my besties, Rachel & Thea….
DIY JAR LOVE
Supplies needed- 1 jar & lid, plastic toy (we got ours from the dollar store), super glue, saran wrap & paint.
1. Remove label from Jar…this can take forever! We found peanut butter to be the best agent to remove that sucker..
2. Glue the toy onto the lid.
3. Cover the top of the jar (without lid) with saran wrap then screw on lid semi-tight.
4. Paint away! Make sure you get all those little crevices!
5. Wait until all the paint dries before you remove the saran wrap.
6. VOILA! fill it with goodies….mini pencil crayons, jelly beans, mini eggs…the possibilities are endless!

TUNESDAY: YOUTH LAGOON
Like all people, I love music.
I am not a musician.
I cannot sing.
I really don’t know a lot about music at all. What I do know though, is I know what I like and I know what I don’t like. My boyfriend introduced me to Youth Lagoon knowing I’d like them. ‘Them’ being some 20 year old kid from the states. I totally thought there was a girl & guy singing…whoops…
So I listened and I liked. And then I was watching Greys and a song came on and I was like, ‘I KNOW THIS.’ And then I figured out it was Youth Lagoon and then I felt real cool.
Real talk.
If I could pick a fav kind of music, I’d pick dreamy then folk. This guy is definitely dreamy (the music, not so much the guy). Check out a few here… my fav is Posters.
over & out,
s.s.♥.
