Pins I'm Loving

Hello Lovelies!

It's been a while since I've done a Pinterest related post, so I'm really excited to be sharing this! I have a love hate relationship with Pinterest, I love it, but I hate how much time I waste on it! I've been doing really good here recently and I've been managing my time better, so I don't feel bad about using it anymore.

If you have any tips for dealing with a Pinterest addiction let me know! But for now, here's this month's Pins I'm Loving!

Hello Lovelies!

So I've been gone for a hot minute again! This time I kinda know what happened, a lot of things added up and I just haven't been able to sit down to write!

For starters, I lost motivation, I'm not really sure what I want to write at the moment. What would you like to see more of? Let me know in the comments, give me some ideas of what you want to see more or less of.

I thought I was going to be able to start blogging last week, but then I started having some health issues again and it's really wiping out all of my energy.

But I'm back today and I'm gonna try my best to get at least one post in a week, along with my two series! So here's what I have found on Pinterest that I'm loving!

Hello Lovelies!

So continuing with updating things on the blog, I decided to change the name of an old series.

No more Pinterest Finds.

Welcome to Pins I'm Loving!

Hair
I love looking at new ideas for my hair. Right now I'm looking for ideas to change my hair for the fall. My hair is currently platinum blonde, but I'm growing tired of it. I'm thinking either a darker, warmer blonde, or I'm just gonna go for it and go straight to bright red!

Wavy Soft & Warm Blonde

So pretty!

Purple-Red Hair
I'm seriously considering dying my platinum blonde hair this color. I've been dying to do this for years and I think I'm gonna give it a few more months and then do it!

Tattoos
I am currently obsessed with watercolor tattoos, I need a watercolor tattoo!

Watercolor Wave

Hakuna Matata Watercolor

Watercolor Airplane

College
Unfortunately I've had to put college off another semester, I just can't afford it, but I'm hoping I can start in January! Until then I'm just gonna keep on pinning awesome college stuff.

Hello Lovelies!

 I've been on Pinterest a lot lately, and I'm definitely loving a lot of things I can't have because I'm a broke high school student. But we can all dream, right? Plus, I just started my new job Friday and I'll be getting my first paycheck June 18th!

Here are some of the things I've found that I'm loving!

1. Bookworm Boutique
I found this boutique on Pinterest and I'm in love!

Hello lovelies!

Honestly I haven't been using Pinterest much lately, I go through phases with it where I really love and then there's times where I don't go on it for days. I think my current disinterest has to do with the fact that my internet sucks and I can't spend much time on the website before I lose my connection.

My mom and I are going tomorrow to see if we can find a new internet provider. Hopefully by the end of the month I'll have better internet coverage, but till then I hope you can make do with links to a few pins I've been loving!

1. Mostly Morgan: The Collegiates Guide to Taking Notes & Reviewing.

2. A Husky Raised By A Cat

Hello lovelies!

I hope you all had a great weekend! This week is a big one for me, I have so much school work to do, plus, I'll be turning 18 on Friday!

Since I have so much going on I haven't been on Pinterest that much here recently, but I have found a few things that you might find interesting or useful! Here's this months Pinterest Finds!

1. How to Turn YOUR Handwriting into a Font for Free

I love the idea of turning you handwriting into a font, sadly I have terrible handwriting so this isn't for me, but some of you may find this useful.

2. Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies
Since St. Patricks Day is coming up I thought I'd share this recipe!

3. Getting Started With AdSense.
I've been toying with idea of setting up an AdSense account for a while now, and since I'll be turning 18 on Friday, legally I can set up an account. I haven't decided 100% yet if I want to go ahead and get started, but I'm really happy I found this so that when I'm ready I know what to do.

4. Tips for the Overpacker
I am definitely an overpacker and I really love this blog post. Emily gives some very solid tips and if you're planning on going on a trip soon this is a must read!

So, that's it for today, don't forget to check back tomorrow, I have a really exciting post coming up!

Hello lovelies! 

So I am officially back!!! We finally have internet and I'm super excited that I can finally get back to my normal schedule! Honestly I thought it would take longer to get out internet hooked back up since we had to find a new provider, but thankfully it didn't. I'm not too crazy about our new internet provider (Dish) because they didn't explain to us how it worked till after the two year contract was signed. Sadly I'm not going to be able to use Netflix as much as I'm used to, but I'll be okay, I need to focus on finishing senior year anyway, it's not going to kill me! 

I spent the weekend writing blog posts and so no need to worry I have written enough blog posts to get me back onto my normal schedule this week. This week you'll be getting my first Top Ten Tuesday of the year and a new book review on Wednesday!

Since I just got internet back I haven't been pinning that much, but I do have a few pins to share with you, so here we go!

1. 5 Decluttering Tips for Blogger.
I feel like all bloggers need to read this because we all have so many different things we need to keep organized and sometimes things just get messy. Really messy! So, if you're a blogger, you might wanna take a peek at this and see if it helps!

2. You deserve to heal.
I found this one and sadly it didn't have a source so I had to track down the exact link it's from, thankfully Google Image made that a little easier. I started looking at the website Simple Reminders and I really like it, it's now in my bookmarks for rough days!

3. How to Insert Social Media Icons into Your Email Signature
I'm so happy I found this, it is so much easier to do it this way than having to insert your links into every email you send! Definitely a must read for every blogger!

Like I said I haven't been on Pinterest that much this month, so that's it for today!

Hello lovelies,

I know normally I would post this next week, but I decided to switch things around! So from now on this is how my Monday's will be scheduled, I only changed the second & third!

The first Monday of the month is still my monthly goals,
The second Monday of the month will now be my Pinterest Finds,
The third Monday will be my monthly playlist,
The fourth Monday is my Favorites of the month!

Anyway, that's the only changes I've made, and I don't really have much to tell you today, so let's get into this months Pinterest Finds!

1. Modcloth I Love Your Dress in Colbalt
 I'm in love with this color, I haven't decided for sure yet if I'm going to buy it, but I really do love it and couldn't resist sharing it with you!

2. 10 Tips to a Better Closet
This year I really need to get my closet in order, I think next month I'll probably work on that since I'll have to start changing things out as Spring approaches! I know it seems early to be talking about that, but here in Kentucky it goes from Winter to Spring to Summer in a matter of a few days, by March we'll probably be walking around without jackets!

3. No-Bake Vegan Brownies

I found this brownie recipe and I really want to try it! I've been trying to make healthier choices, but I do have a sweet tooth, so I'm trying to find healthier alternatives because I don't believe you have to give up what you love to be healthy, you just have to make healthy choices.

4. New Things I Want Pinterest Board
This isn't a pin, but I thought I would share with you my new Pinterest board! I'm always pinning things I want, but I never can find them, so I decided to make a board that way I can find them when I have the money to make the purchase!

So that's what I've been loving on Pinterest lately? What about you? Are there any new pins or boards you think I should take a look at? Let me know below!

Blogmas Day 15: Pinterest Finds

Hello lovelies,

I hope you had a great weekend! My weekend was probably the best weekend I've had in a while. Most of that can be contributed to the fact that I was still on cloud nine from getting accepted to UE last week!

This week I have a lot to do, I have a lot of schoolwork to finish up this week, three finals, two English papers, and three quizzes! Like I said, it's a lot, but I can do it! I also want to get some blog work in there, I have so many changes coming up and I can't wait to share it with you!

Before I get into this months Pinterest Finds, I want to take a moment to ask your opinion on something. Do you prefer how I usually do my monthly Pinterest finds with pictures to every link, or do you like how I did this post with links, explanations, and only one or two photos?

 Please let me know below!

1. Mostly Morgan: 44 Things I Learned My Freshman Year of College

Last Thursday, after I got my acceptance letter to UE of course I started looking at the college section on Pinterest! While looking at the College section I found a new blog that I'm loving right now! It's called Mostly Morgan , if you're interested in blogging, college life, or health & beauty, I would definitely recommend you check out her blog!

2. Be A Sticker Stickler

I've been trying to eat healthier lately and I found this and I thought it might help others who are trying to eat healthier!

3. 5 Crispy Alternatives to the Potato Chip

Keeping with the healthy theme, I found this link for healthy alternatives to chips. I really want to try  the kale chips, so many people love them and I really need to eat more veggies and fruits!

 I also like the bacon chips even though they really aren't that healthy!

4. A Little Bit of Inspiration

That's it for this month's Pinterest Finds, I hope you found something that interests you! What have you been loving on Pinterest lately?

Hello lovelies, I know it's still November, but I'm going into serious Christmas mode, I'm obsessed! I've already started Christmas shopping, I've got a few presents and I've bought a couple of ornaments, I haven't gone overboard, yet. 

The past few Christmases haven't been the best, but this year I'm really feeling it, I have hope that this Christmas is going to be great! I'm determined to make this Christmas special because this is my last Christmas at home, next year I'll be off to college and I won't get to spend the entire holiday season at home

This month I've been wanting to start doing some DIY projects. I've been thinking about getting into crotchet, I tried crotchet as a child, but I could never get into it, so I want to pick it up again and see how it goes. I've been feeling really creative lately, I want to paint, and draw and just do so many things!

Anyway, enough of my rambling about how happy I am, here's what I've found on Pinterest this month!

1. Christmas Decor DIY

2. DIY Holiday Throw Pillows

3. Always Remember. 

Okay, so I guess that's it for this month's addition of Pinterest Finds, I've really been trying to limit my time on Pinterest, it's so addicting and time consuming, it's an addiction! Anyway, that's all for today, tomorrow I'll be back with a book review and Wednesday I'll be showing you my Holiday Beauty Wishlist!

Happy Monday lovelies, I hope you have a great day! Last month I didn't get to do a Pinterest Finds post, so that made it so much harder to pick what pins I want to show you. I finally narrowed it down to 5, and so here it is...

2. Half-Up Side French Braid Tutorial

3. This quote really speaks to me!

4. I really wanna try to do this.

Happy Monday lovelies, I hope you had a wonderful Easter yesterday (if you celebrate it), and I hope your week is off to a great start. 

I have a very busy day to day, and I'm already behind, so I'm just gonna jump on in and get started.

1. This Demi Lovato quote.

Via

2. Golden Cocker Retriever puppy!

Via
When I pinned this the caption said that this was a full grown dog, and that it would look like a puppy forever. Well to me that sounded too good to be true, so I googled it and I was right Golden Cocker Retrievers won't stay this size forever, (even though I totally wish they did).

3. How to Write Long Papers

Via

Well that's all for this months Pinterest Finds, I hope you enjoyed it, and don't forget to follow if you wanna see more!

 Happy Monday lovelies, and welcome to the first Pinterest Finds blog post! Every month is going to be different, some months I may only post one thing I found on Pinterest, and then months like February I might post 5, either way I hope you like it.

                                                    1. This quote from John Green

Via

                                2. These boots from Torrid that I'm thinking about ordering.

Via

                                                              
                                                                  3.  This photo.

Via

                                                       4.  This picture. The TRUTH!

Via

                                           5. This picture of Demi Lovato's hair in 2010.

Via

   I kinda wanna add a little note for #5, about why I decided to add it. I added this picture because this is the picture I took took to the salon last week when I got my hair done (I'll be doing a post about it either this week or next week) .
    I had decided that I wanted to cut off a lot of hair, and I wanted to add layers, so I started looking on Pinterest, then I remembered this picture that I had pinned, and I knew it was the one.
     Tip: If you can't decide what you want to do with your hair go on Pinterest and type in Demi Lovato aka hair porn queen, I'm not kidding when I say the girl has had every hair color you can imagine, and you will definitely find something you like!


   So that's all for this week check back soon for that post about my new hair cut/color, I'm going to try to get it posted this week, but it could possibly be next week.
                                                                                     XOXO,
                                                                                           Lori Ann

Making Changes

   Over the past few months I've made a lot of changes, and I've been telling you all that I would be making more changes soon. Well the day has finally arrived and I'm so happy that I can finally tell you all about it.
      Basically I'm replacing my Weight Loss Monday's series, I'm still going to be updating you about that, but it will only be once a month from now on.
      I'm also adding a new series on Sunday's, and it's called Weekly Inspiration. Basically it's going to be an inspiring picture/quote, with a passage and a goal for the week/year (however long you need to achieve it).

    Okay so now for what's replacing WLM's,  this is how it's going to be...

1st Monday of the Month......... My Monthly Goals
2nd Monday of the Month ....... A Monthly Music Playlist
3rd Monday of the Month........ Monthly Pinterest Roundup
4th Monday of the Month........   Monthly Weight Loss

I also have something planned for months with 5 Monday's

5th Monday of the Month... Things I'm Loving

    Also if you're interested yesterday I did a guest blog post over on A Topsy Turvy Blog  so go check that out and let me know what you think. I just wanna say thank you to Casey for letting me post on her blog, I really enjoyed working with her.

    Well that is all for today, let me know what you think below, I'm super excited for this new path I'm paving, and I can't wait to get started. So don't forget to come back on Sunday for the first Weekly Inspiration, and on Monday for My February Goals.
                                                                   Stay Creative,
                                                                                  Lori Ann
