July Instagramistory : My favorite month so far.

Throwback Thursday.

 #TBT

Things have changed a lot in the last few years.
Things have changed a lot in the last few months.
But whenever you get the chance to look back and remember little things that once made you smile, do it. 

I just stumbled upon pictures from an old blog I used to write during my junior, and senior year of highschool.
SO just like instagram, here's a #throwbackthursday, #tbt, (#fml) look back at those years of  "blogging".



  

     I remember not telling anyone in school about my blog, but would just post links on my facebook. I was so scared of what people would say, what they would think. Would they mock me? Would I make myself look like a fool infront of my peers?

You want to know what else changes over the years?
Everything. 
Feelings. Cares. Worries. Life. 

I remember saying to myself after a couple of people had made little remarks to me about my page, "why would I ever even do this to myself. I need to delete this whole thing. I need to just stop, and erase it all. This is so embarrassing." 

Fast forward four years, and none of that matters anymore. Those remarks were just words in the wind, and they're long gone. Whether you chose to let them choke you, or let them shape you, is your choice. 

So look back at your old photoshoots. Remember how you felt, and think of how you feel now. Never let the past hold you back from a beautiful future. 

I hope everyone is having a beautiful July. 

And a thrilling #tbt. 

Love you all,

Organize and prioritize before your eyes.

Oh hey,

Two years ago, I decided my room was too "baby-ish" and did a total flip. I changed all of my furniture to black, simple pieces that can be really versatile. I added a book shelf and styled it with picture frames, vintage perfume bottles, fashion and textbooks, and bud vases. 

My desk though, is a different story. I'm a total social media addict. I spend more time on my laptop than I probably should. You probably wouldn't have guessed that by the 18k tweets I've sent in the past few years. 
The thing is, I could never figure out how to not lose papers, notes, tickets, or other things that I deemed important. I could never find ANYTHING. I would lose memories when papers would go missing. I needed them shoved in my face, hanging above me, and right before me on the fore front for me to see on a daily basis. 


I found this at work. 
It's actually a photo holder, but this piece could work in a lot of rooms. 
Think about it...
- Kitchen : add your favorite recipe cards, coupons, mail, ect.
- Living room : family photos, ideas for decor, ect.
- Bed room : awards, photos of friends, tickets, ornaments, ect.

It's a metal based material, and it only comes in one color. It's almost like an outdoor looking bronze, and it didn't match my room. I spray painted it with a matte black paint and it now looks perfect hanging right above my desk, in my face, full of all of those important little things. I purchased it at Pier 1 Imports for under $15! 

( Sorry for the bright light in the corner, it's my lamp!)

I let it hang on those command hooks that are always advertised on TV. They're really easy to find at Target, Walmart, drug stores, ect. 

It's literally perfect. It has a ton of spots to slide pictures or whatever you chose. 
I'm planning on bringing it with me when I move. I'm sure I'll find the perfect spot for it in an apartment. I'm sure it'll be put to good use with all of the papers/hopefully a+ test I'll be receiving while I'm there. 

How do you guys organize your important papers, and junk?
Let me know!
Until then,
-K.
