What I Love Wednesday 5/7/13

Yes, we are going to completely ignore the fact that I keep disappearing for extended periods of time. Here are my weekly favorites instead.


I have been collecting Disney Trading Pins for almost a year now and I'm still in love with them. They are a really fun collectible and I just keep them on a cork-board in our 'game/craft room'. I have won quite a few off of Ebay and even purchased a few from some Disney enthusiasts on Instagram. It's so magical every time I get to add a new pin to my collection.

I keep somehow finding this German Rapunzel Fairytale plate on Etsy and I think it is starting to become a 'want' for me. She's so beautiful and I love how it looks. I just need to figure out where to put it. This same shop also has a Hansel and Gretel plate but I'm not sure if I would snag that one up too as I don't want it to become a 'collection'. I already collect too much.


I purchased one of the mason jar mugs a few weeks ago at work (although mine has a mug handle on it) and it has become my preferred beverage container. For some reason these make drinks taste so cold on a hot day. I can't explain the wizardry behind them, but I'm really loving the look and purpose of them.

Nirvana has to be my third favorite band of all time (placing after Led Zeppelin and Coheed and Cambria) and I can listen to them all day. Their music still sounds modern and interesting even after all these years and I have been playing the heck out of them since Ryder Burgin (FootOfAFerret) included them (and Foo Fighters) in his 'A Brief History' series. I also think sometimes that if I were in the music industry (different time/ different place) that Dave Grohl would be my husband because I love his drive to make music, his inspiration, and his strength. Also his rugged look is a bonus.


Guys, guys! I got a tattoo this weekend. I'm both thrilled and in pain. I got this little beauty on my left shoulder and as cute as it is, it hurt like a b****. As I was expecting some pain, the outline didn't hurt at all, the shading hurt a little but by the time we got to the color, I was dying. I got this from a guy I've known since the 7th grade (Mikey Ortiz) and he's been back and forth between tattoo shops but now operates from home. That made me a little skeptical, but looking at his previous work and knowing that he worked under one of my co-workers/friend's cousin, I was confident with him. We were about halfway done with my outline and he asks how many tattoos I have... 'None'. He kind of stops, a little surprised, 'Why didn't you tell me?! Most people only get something small as their first tattoo!' We laughed about it and I told him that I wanted my first tattoo to be something I actually liked and not something silly like stars or an infinity symbol (not that there is anything wrong with those tattoos!) and how I have a very specific vision in my mind when it comes to tattoos.

That's all for this week, guys. How 'bout a little Nirvana-themed playlist with my favorite songs?
