things i'm loving

I'm kind of excited for this movie to come out...I'm not going to lie. Yes, I may be a little bit of a nerd. I do like Jennifer Lawrence a lot though so I'm interested to see how she is at Katness.
I need to learn how to do this with my make-up.

I want to make one of these for my room.

I like this quote.

I love this ring, but I don't know where to find it! I saw it on pinterest, but it didn't have a link to where I can get it. I bet it's on etsy or something.

I need to learn how to make this, because I need to eat this. It looks so good.

newspaper nails

I'm going to learn how to do this.

1. Put on nail polish and let dry.

2. Dip fingernail in alcohol-basically any will do, vodka is suggested.

3. Press a strip of newspaper big enough to cover the whole nail on to your alcohol soaked nail.

4. Pull off slowly and be really impressed with yourself.

5. Paint top coat if desired.
