On the Road: Anza Borrego

Currently listening to: 

Over the weekend, a group of friends and I went to Anza Borrego Desert State Park in San Diego County. This semi-high maintenance lady learned to rough it. I slept on the desert floor, in a tent, with no electricity. I went hiking for the first time in who knows how long. I visited an abandoned house on top of a mountain. I climbed rocks and got dirty. It was a new experience and I'm glad I did it. It definitely made me even more thankful for my comfy bed back home. It was such a beautiful trip and I enjoyed every bit of it. Big shout out to Christian for planning the extravaganza. I would definitely go back again (maybe with an air mattress next time).

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY, SWCC!

Currently listening to:

I cannot believe that I have had this blog an entire three hundred and sixty-five days. I can't. This is probably the most committed I've been to something in my entire life (sad I know). I tend to start a bunch of projects with the intention of finishing them, but I never do. I'm quite proud of myself for keeping up with this site and for not letting it sit in cyber space for (extremely) long periods of time. Thank you to everyone who has supported this blog, read this blog, and followed this blog. You guys are wonderful. I have made some new friends and have gotten to share my old friends through this site. I'm squealing. I'm so thankful for you guys. Thank you so so much! -xoxo

Pinteresting // February

Currently listening to:

I have not been able to stop pinning these last few days. I forgot how much I love Pinterest. Well, these are some recent images I've found interesting/inspiring. I hope you've found them to be aesthetically pleasing. If you have a Pinterest, make sure you follow me!

Also, Happy Valentine's Day to all of my pretty readers! You guys are amazing and I hope you feel loved today (whether it be by a person or your morning cup of coffee). You are all lovely. PS. My blog will turn 1 on Sunday! I can't believe I've had SWCC for so long! Complete craziness? I think so. -xoxoxo

*All images were found and pinned to my Pinterest account. None  belong to me. 

My New Routine

Currently listening to:

As some of you may know, I am a morning person. I tend to be a tad lazy most mornings because they are the only time I am free on work days. I want to just lie in bed until I have  to get ready for work. I have decided to quit that bad habit. So each morning, I am setting three goals for myself to complete by the time I leave for work. They aren't big tasks, just little things I can do to feel like I accomplished something. This morning my goals were to make myself breakfast (a legitimate one AKA not popping something in the microwave), do my laundry, and draw at least one photo. I'm proud to say that all my tasks have been completed. This puts me in a better mood and makes me feel prepared for my busy day ahead. Do you guys have any daily routines?

*Side note: I am trying to make art more often. Alyssa has already set up a store for me. Once I start pumping out some pieces, I will let you guys know. They hopefully will be for sale at some point in the next few months! Keep your eyes peeled! #hannahmakesuglyart

I'm still here!

Currently listening to:

Hello dears! I know I have been super MIA lately, but I made a promise to myself that I would blog more. To kick things off, I thought I'd just share some cool photos I have in my phone. Enjoy! I'll be back soon! xoxo

Tunes // Currently

I thought I'd throw together a playlist of the songs I've been listening to lately. Enjoy! -xoxo

Things I found in my phone // Pt I

Currently listening to:

So I often find myself taking photos while I'm out and about (like every other human being with a camera phone), but I don't really post them on any site. I was looking through my phone this evening and saw all of these gems. I thought I should start sharing them on here! Posting 1913841983 photos a day to Instagram can be quite annoying. I don't want to be that girl. So I'll put them here, where frequent posting is welcome. Enjoy, love bugs - xoxo

Good lanta, I take too many pictures of coffee / food. I cannot be stopped.
