i'm sick

I'm sick and I called in sick to work today with the intention of catching up on school work, but I ended up having a PJ party, playing music, catching up on some online shopping, and working on my design skills/toying with typography. I guess it was a well-needed mental health day. No one gets this and I'm not sure if I get it myself, might be the fever talking.

ombré crate d.i.y.

Over the ombré trend yet? Me neither.

Supplies: wooden crate (mine is from Michael’s, about $15 with the weekly coupon that you can download here), acrylic paints, paint brush, painter’s tape or masking tape.

Tape off the edges, and paint each slat on the bottom a different shade. I only had 4 colours, so I mixed 2 to make a new one. Wait a little while (maybe 15 minutes) and add a second coat.

I use mine to maximize the height of my table so I can put my treasures on display.

black bean burger + dill fries

Dill fries are amazing. The recipe was adapted from here and the bean burger patty was a mixture of ingredients I had available. Serve patty with spinach, pineapple, cheese, and salsa. Mmm.

new frames

I have been on the hunt for glasses like these for a while. The other day I stumbled upon Bon Look and fell in love with their J'Adore frames (which are appropriately named). There was a promotion on so they were 20 off%.
