LIfe In My Neck of the Woods

Things in my neck of the woods have been topsy turvy and little crazy. I'm sorry I haven't been posting as often as I would like. I had lots of fun halloween diys planned but do to the crazyness I wasn't able to post them :/. I hope you enjoyed the couple that I was able to post! Anyway, I have some good news, I'm getting my own apartment! I will be leaving the nest for the first time! I'm super excited, but to be honest I'm also a tiny bit scared. I guess I'm a little worried (like usual), so I did what I usually do when something is on my mind that I'm worried about; I got out my journal and wrote about it. I make lots of lists. It helps me plan and helps me organize all my thoughts. First I made a list of all the apartments that I want to check out tomorrow, then I made a list of the furniture that I have and other big items that I will be taking with me. There are also lists for ideas for packing up my stuff. I even have a list of things I will need after I move (but I may be getting a little ahaid of myself though with this one lol). I have so many thoughts buzzing around in my head. For example, I have LOTS of books and my books are very precious to me, so how do I pack them? Do I put them in cardboard boxes or some kind of plastic container? Or how to pack items that are delicate or could break on a budget (isn't bubble wrap expensive?).

Do you have any tips for first time movers? I found this helpful article on moving, what do you think?

Here are some pictures of my weekend:

Lily was a vampire for halloween this year,

but this time around I didnt have any big plans for halloween.

And here are some pictures I've found via

In honor of halloween I found this Nightmare Before Christmas makeup

This cool outside seating

And these yummy looking Chocolate Cookie Dough Brownies, which I am totally going to try to make!

Well I hope you had a good weekend, and a spoooOoky Halloween! I'd love to hear what you did this weekend or what you did for Halloween! :)
