~ 19 ~

Since I spent my birthday weekend sick, I figured I deserved to spread out the celebrations over the whole week.  And that's just what I've done!

Multiple cups of tea, good food, lots of painting, watching Netflix, reading, hot baths, wearing pajamas until noon, and eating lots of chocolate.  Unfortunately life doesn't recognize my birthday week as a national holiday so I still have my classes, but as soon as I have time off for the holidays I'm going to finish my celebrations with some hiking and a beach trip!

Until then, it's been pancakes for breakfast...

wearing my new birthday shoes...

Wearing my new blazer (that's already become a staple in my closet)...

And watching lots of Doctor Who (like, an embarrassing amount of Doctor Who).

Until healthier times!

~ 18 ~

On November 1st, I turned 18!  I slept late, opened presents in the morning, had biscuits and tea for breakfast (a birthday tradition), baked my birthday cake with my mom, watched 42nd Street (my favorite movie), did a little drawing, took a nap, and then finished the day with dinner and cake with the family.  It was a great day and I enjoyed every second of it!



Seventeen was a transition year - full of trying new things, personal highs and lows, major life changes, the forming and breaking of relationships, and trying to figure out who I am.  It was a deep year!  And now I'm excited to move on and see what 18 has in store for me!

The first few days of this new age have been fantastic!  I went shopping and found the PERFECT boots for fall (my birthday present to myself), ran into one of my best friends who is back in town from college, had a photoshoot, and feasted on left over Halloween candy and birthday cake.

I am so loving this gorgeous fall weather Florida has been having!  One of my favorite things to do lately has been to sit outside and read while drinking tea.

{currently reading: The Catcher in the Rye}

If you've seen my art and graffiti board on pinterest during the last few weeks, you'll see that I'm completely obsessed with Kate Long Stevenson.  I recently discovered her work and can't get enough of it!



I hope you are all having a beautiful fall so far!
