Wishlist!

What's on your wishlist? Being a college student leaves me completely strapped for cash but I have been eyeing these things:

A rear bike rack so I can carry things to and from the grocery store. This is important so I'll be purchasing it ASAP. It's $30 on Amazon which I don't think is too bad.

This sippy top stainless steel water bottle!! I don't think I've ever seen one in real life.

Rawtella!! How amazing must this be?

Did you know VANS was coming out with a Hello Kitty line!? I just might have to... I absolutely adored Hello Kitty as a child and I think these are pretty cute, especially for summer.

How cute is this necklace by Truche on Etsy? I guess there is this huge scandal where Urban Outfitters just came out with this exact design on their website. According to her Etsy account though, it seems that she has been getting business due to people finding out about this. Good for her! And if Urban Outfitters really did steal this that's disgusting.

I'm also still on the look out for a super cute dress. Nothing fancy or frilly. Something "me." I actually now remember I had a dream that I found a really cute anchor dress at a thrift store. Is that a sign to go thrifting today!? Perhaps!

Have a good weekend!

Movie Night + Baked Tofu

So, I made some kinda asparagus/garlic/tofu bake last night.

Just chopped up the garlic--layered on the bottom, layered artichokes and then for the tofu breading I just threw some olive oil and breadcrumbs in a bag, put the tofu in, shook it up, and voila! Baked it for about 30 minutes and then served it over brown rice :)

We also watched this last night while eating dinner and I actually really liked it...not exactly what I thought it was going to be about which was good!

YAY FRIDAY! I actually have tomorrow off :) Need to think of something awesome to do!

Against Me!

Last night we went to a sold out Against Me! show in Gainesville, FL. I have never been so drenched from a show as last night. The crowd was singing along to every word and it was absolutely nuts. Even my fingers were pruney. However, I FORGOT EARPLUGS!!! My right ear has been ringing off the hook all day. Really hope it gets better tomorrow :-/ Marc is playing a show tonight and there is NO WAY I will forget earplugs. I'm going to buy a bunch to keep in my car. Ringing ears is awful.

However, a great remedy for feeling not-so-awesome is spaghetti, covered in nutritional yeast!! I absolutely love these vegan cheesy flakes of heaven plus many brands contain B12. No 'real bread' for garlic bread? No sweat, had some hotdog buns hanging around so baked them up in the toaster oven! Just olive oil, garlic, italian seasonings, and a sprinkle of daiya. Voila!

And look! I'm wearing shorts!!!! I have been shorts-phobic for years but I'm finally breaking lose. Some awesome leopard print sure does help. Plus check out my awesome shirt from Deadworry on Etsy. They have a TON of cute shirts that are all on my birthday/christmas list. Check them out!!

Hope you're having a good week! KEEP YOUR EARS SAFE!! Remember earplugs

Roots Touchup!

From this:

To this!

Woo! I honestly don't think I have ever redone my roots. I always just dye it back to black or something when it starts growing in but I was really sick of the faded burnt orange color and the fact that I could only style my hair completely down without seeing nothing but roots. The whole process was actually pretty easy.

Apply Bleach. (I use the mix powder with 40 volumizer and a brush).

Watch it turn blonde!

Then I washed it out, conditioned, let dry. Added dye and voila! Happiness is newly dyed hair.

P.S. Check out this wicked Wolverine tattoo I found in a box of childhood things at my Grandma's!

BLT!

Marc made me a delicious vegan BLT for lunch!!!

*Note the cute Hello Kitty face in the toast! hehe, from this:

This is what he used for the bacon:

It was absolutely delicious!!! Just added tomatoes, lettuce, and vegannaise! Pretty cheap idea sure to fool many a meateater. Really, it was deeeelicious!!!

In the process of touching up my hair! I ran low on dye towards the end but I think I managed, we'll see in a few hours (yes, I keep bright colored dye on for multiple hours--helps make it stay in my hair and not wash out!!)
