Fun Friday!

Hi friends! I'm sorry yesterday was a bit of a bummer but I promise today will pick up! I've been a little bummed that I haven't been feeling well and that I haven't been able to exercise but you know you can always count on Pinterest to lift your spirits! This round of Fun Friday is going to be based on some fun and inspiring things that I've found on Pinterest recently :) Trying to stay positive and tell myself that better things are on the horizon!


I don't know why but I thought that this was really beautiful and perfect. The idea of this instantly makes me happy and puts me in an better mindset. 


This just makes me laugh my ass off. It is so simple but perfectly hilarious!


I found this quote really inspiring because I can be guilty of this. I tend to let a bad day linger and I can blow it out of proportion and/or take it out on people I care about. It is so important to remember that a bad day is just a bad day. Things will get better. And it they don't then you know that it is time for a change!


This is what I try to do every day :) I love this, I kind of want to find this or make one for my bedroom.


I repinned this from Sage who always shares the best advice.  This is so inspiring to me because it is so true. I've been afraid of chasing my dreams for so long and constantly make excuses as to why I shouldn't or CAN'T. Can't should be considered the ultimate four letter word because it carries so much more weight than "fuck" or "shit." Seriously. Anyway, it's time to pursue my dreams. And I know what the first step is to take ;)


Um, can we talk a little bit about how AMAZING and HILARIOUS these rings are?! I don't know where this whole mustache craze came from but it is so funny. I love the guy on the right with the hat.


I'm pretty obsessed with these super cute DIY glasses! She just used the back of a paint brush to dot acrylic paint on the glasses. Then she put them in the oven (I can give you specific instructions if you are interested, or just check out the pin! ;]) and check out these super cool glasses! I think I definitely need to make these.

Alright friends, I'm off to run some errands before my wedding today. Yes, I know it is 8:30 am but alas this is the only time I have :) I like it better too because the stores aren't crowded. It is my good friend's birthday tomorrow and I'm working with her on Sunday so I am putting together a super fun gift so I need to go and grab a few things for it :) I'm so excited about this gift and I'll definitely show you guys what I came up with... probably on Sunday! I hope you all have a great Friday and I'll definitely do my best to pop in and keep you updated on my busy weekend and the yummy food I'm eating to keep my energy up :) I think I have next weekend off too which is great motivation for the next week as well!

Happy Friday friends! Hope you all enjoyed this Fun Friday post! :)

  1. Woo hoo! I just joined Pinterest the other day and feel super slow to jump on that bandwagon, because it's super awesome! That lolcat picture is so fricken cute. And the "wake up and be awesome" quote is great - just shared it on FB. :)

  2. Thanks for the shout-out, Sarah. :) Pinterest is taking over my life...and I don't care! I love the whole moustache craze too, and those rings are super cute. I have T shirt with a cartoon owl on it, and the owl has a moustache. I don't get it, but I love it.

    Have a great weekend (and take care of yourself too!).

    1. Of course!! Thanks for the inspiring pin :) The rings are so funny, I saw them and couldn't even deal. I don't get where the craze came from either but as long as it makes us smile, right? ;)

      Thanks you too Sage!

    1. Thanks Gabby! I know, the rings are amazing! I have to start trying to hunt them down!

      Thanks, I'm trying!! It gets tough but being negative will only make it worse. I try and pull myself out of a negative place before I get in too deep. Thanks you too!

  5. That kitty- ha! I love that! The Wake Up & Be Awesome would be perfect in a bedroom and I really like the other inspirational sayings. Pinterest is so great for that kind of stuff. The rings made me smile, too. So cute!

    I hope you have a great weekend!

  8. This was like "Inspiration Friday"! Really great reminders - I can be very "doom and gloom" when difficult circumstances arise, and it's so important to be reminded that it's just a bad day or it's not as big as we think it is (i.e. blow it out of proportion - I'm very prone to do this). Thank for posting these, I needed to see them. :)

    1. I know I thought that the post ended up having a pretty uplifting feel to it which made me happy :) I always blow things out of proportion which is why I always need to take a step back and breathe and let things go. I'm so glad you liked the post!

  9. Lots or really fun stuff today. To echo everyone else, it's hard to stay positive but stuff like this really helps. I really like yr idea of "can't" as the ultimate four-letter word. So true. Will, will, will. ;)
    Also those glasses are so awesome! All bubbly. But really, those rings! I don't wear jewelry often but those are freakin awesome. Those will definitely brighten a bad day.

    1. Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! Yes, will! It is so important to think this way :)

      I want to try and make the glasses. I'll have to get all of the materials for it but I think they would be so cute! I don't wear jewelry often either but I would definitely rock those! :)

  10. On the glasses, after having them in the oven will the paint wash off when cleaning them?

    1. Hey Cindy, these are the instructions word for word from the pin "Use acrylic paint & the back end of a paint brush for the dots. Then put into a cold oven & preheat to 350 - let sit for 30 minutes. Turn off oven & let cool with the glasses still inside. a cute gift idea These are so cute!!!!" I think that putting them in the oven adheres them to the glass? Not 100% sure because I have not make them yet!
