always tea and coffee

This week went by so fast!

I tried to keep busy doing a lot of art. 

I did neglect keeping the house in order but sometimes I just have to do what I have to do! :) 

Acrylic Paints and pencil crayons

Acrylic Paints

I also did decoupage this week! 

I bought a vase and napkins from the Dollar tree

It was very fun to make

I don't mind that there is texture on the vase 

October Journal Layout

The moleskin notebook threads are falling apart and I am not sure it will last but I will keep going and using tape. I don't like to start something and not finish it. 

Acrylic Landscape Painting

I also made little pumpkins but not sure why my photo is not uploading so here is the youtube short.

I am truly grateful and happy that I focused on art this week. 

 I do need to find a balance though. lol

I just keep going.

One thing I learned this week is to take good care of your self,

Treat your self with love and kindness.

Thank you all for your visit and your wonderful comments. 

I truly appreciate each and everyone of you!

Happy October! 🎃 🍁 Favourites and Vlogtober Plans

Happy October!

Wishing you all a wonderful month full of peace, good health and love. 

Yesterday I took a walk on a trail and loved it. 

I won't lie, my body hurts after walks. I need to walk more often and build my endurance.

 I do love how I feel after walks. It's like a workout. 

All the colours are changing and everything is looking very Autumnal. 

God is incredible!

I've been working on some junk journaling and some collage work. 

It's so relaxing to play with paper and glue. 

I love using my https://www.leuchtturm1917.ca/ books, I have a bullet journal, journal and a sketchbook.

Yesterday I created my Autumn Vision Board 

I do add more goodies as the month goes forward.

Favourite Skincare, makeup and fragrances

Bath and Bodyworks Vanilla cafe

I find that Bath and Bodyworks sprays do better when you layer them. 

The scent doesn't last long on it's own.

Chanel blush, LUSH fragrance and MAC lipstick

Also bought a fragrance from Amazon and it's a lovely smoky scent perfect for fall

I also like the NYX lip liners

I wear this everyday and love it. 

I love LUSH

 I will try to film vlogtober videos this month.  Not sure if I can make a daily one but I will try my best. 

This is a short that I made yesterday. This is a Junk Journal Entry in my Junky Junk Journal as I call it.

My junky junk journal is in an OXFORD composition book. I also glue two pages together to create each collage. 

I love junky junk journals! :) 

 I hope you all have a wonderful October.

 Thank you for being here and reading my post. Thank you for all your comments!

Currently Reading the same books but I want to finish them this month.

 

I don't like to rush my reading. I don't know how some people get through books so fast. Well, I was one of those people once upon a time. lol 

Happy October friends!

Happy Autumn! Free October Printable 🍁

Hello Friends!

Happy Autumn!

This week I would like to focus on completing some things like editing my vlog and uploading it. (done!) Making some arts and craft shorts for my Youtube Channel and hopefully get the opportunity to go to a couple of places with my family. This means writing my goals in my notebook and marking them off. I carry things over to the next month if I don't complete things.

I managed to edit and upload the vlog! Have a look if you like. I don't speak in this one as much. 

READING

I am still having a hard time reading long books so I have switched to poetry!  I kindly won this book "Little Alleluias" collected poetry and prose Mary Oliver by Hatchette Book Group Inc. I am so grateful. So far I love it!

Poetry is shorter and also meaningful and perfect for my attention span at the moment.
