Pineapple O' Lanterns

Hey Everyone! So this is my first DIY/holiday themed post for my blog! I got inspiration for this post from a picture I saw on Instagram and I thought it would be really fun to try out.I thought it was super interesting to carve something other than a pumpkin. Lucky for me, this DIY was pretty easy to do. I'm usually terrible at DIY stuff/crafty stuff, so if I can do it, then it really is easy to do. As Courtney Kerr once said "I'm not a D-U-Y girl, i'm a B-U-Y girl." Carving a pineapple is pretty similar to carving a pumpkin. Here is how you do it! I used the steps on how to carve a pineapple from this Youtube video here . 

What you will need

• Pineapple(1-3. Buy an extra in case you mess up)
• A sharp knife
• A cutting board or a baking pan to put the pineapple on (it will get messy)
• A candle to put inside the pineapple
• A lighter or match
• A plastic spoon( to scoop up chunks of pineapple)

Step 1

Place the Pineapple on its side on the cutting board/ baking pan

Step 2

Begin by slicing around the side of the pineapple. Cut around the sides in a rectangle shape. When you do, the back of the pineapple should come off. Place the back of the pineapple off to the side.

Step 3

This is the part where you "gut" the pineapple. I suggest cutting straight down the middle,  then make little squares to easily pick them out. If you don't want to get your hands dirty, I used a plastic spoon to scoop out the pieces of the pineapple. Make sure a majority of the juice is out the pineapple. You may have to pick it up a pour the juice out inside of a sink or a trash can. Place the leftover slices of the pineapple on a plate or in a container to eat for later!

This is what it should look like after you gut it

Step 4

Flip the pineapple to the other side and start carving the eyes. I decided to do mine in a triangle shape.Make sure the placement of your eyes are level with each other.

Step 5

Start carving out the mouth. I made mine in a rectangular shape.

Step 6

Flip the pineapple upright. Place the candle inside, then put the back of the pineapple on. Your pineapple O' Lantern should look something like this when you are done.

After theses steps you are done! Are there any fun Halloween DIY's that you guys like to do? Do you guys want more DIY posts? Let me know in the comment section!

September Obsessions and Unfavorites

I know i'm a few days late but....it's time again for my obsessions and unfavorites list for the month! These are the things I either obsessed over or hated for the month of September.

Obsessions

1. The September Issue- In honor of the September issue of Vogue coming out this month, I decided to finally watch the movie. The movie has been on my to watch list for quite some time now. The documentary is about the production of Vogue magazines biggest issue of the year. The movie gives you an inside look at fashion week, the staff that works there, on photo shoots, staff meetings, and the process of putting the September issue all together. I highly recommend this film to anyone who has an interest in fashion or is interested in the process of making a magazine. The movie shows you a behind the scene look at a world that is rarely shown.
2. Xplosive Pizza Goldfish- These are becoming a strong contender for my new favorite type of goldfish, which is pretty hard to do since I love the original goldfish. They combined two of my favorites pizza + goldfish into one flavorful bite. I can easily eat a whole bag of these in one sitting (more times than I would like to admit).
3. Turing 21- September is one of my favorite months of the year because it is my birthday month! I was especially excited about this birthday since I was finally turning 21! I’m not the hugest drinker, but it is nice that if I wanted to I could order a drink with my meal.  I already know that I will be carded like crazy. I blame it on the "forever looking like I’m a junior in high school syndrome".
4. Whowhatwear.com- Who What Wear is a website that focuses on fashion. The site post daily content on fashion trends, shopping suggestions, and celebrity and runway fashion.  This site is a must read for any lover of fashion. I enjoy the fashion advice that they give and it has inspired some of recent fashion choices. Lately, their website is one of the first thing I read when I wake up. You can check out their website here . 

Unfavorite

1. My car breaking down-  This is definitely my unfavorite of the month.I've had this car since sophomore year in high school without it having and major issues. I have never had my car break down on the side of the road before and it was super scary. I was without a car for about three weeks. I hated it since i'm one of those weird people who actually like to drive. 

That's it for my obsessions and unfavorites list! What do you think about my current obsessions? Is there anything you think I should check out? Let me know in the comment section!

SIDE NOTE: I just created a Facebook page for my blog! I will post on it pretty frequently and it's the best way to keep up with all of my blog posts. I will also post articles and pictures of things that I find interesting/funny that are fashion, beauty, and lifestyle related. Make sure to like the page so you can get the updates.

Liebster Award

Hey everyone! Today’s blog post is going to be a little bit longer than what I usually post. The purpose of this post is so you can get to know me a little bit better. You will find out weird facts about me and if I’m more of a peanut butter person or a Nutella person. Before we start, thank you Mariah for nominating me. You can check out her blog here . 

Here are the guidelines

• You have to link back to the person that nominated you.
• Write eleven facts about yourself.
• You must answer all eleven questions given to you by the person who nominated you.
• After completing these questions, you must nominate eleven bloggers with under 200 followers and give them eleven questions of your choice.
• You must not nominate the person that nominated you.

11 random facts about me ( I ended up doing 13, oh well)

1. My middle name is Paige.
2. I am ambidextrous, which means I’m both right handed and left handed.
3. There is a 90 percent chance I will have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch, 99.9 percent if it’s during the school week.
4. I have a fear of possums.  They’re pretty much large rats and that terrifies me (shivers).
5. I’m probably one of the worst people at answering my phone. It’s not you; it’s me (but really though). 
6. My left foot is almost a whole size larger than my right foot. That pretty much means I have a love/hate relationship with shoe shopping.
7. I ‘m an only child.
8. Even though I’m from Texas, country is my least favorite genre of music.
9. I’m allergic to pecans & pecan blossoms. Lucky for me, the state tree of Texas is a pecan tree.
10. I’m one of the few people out there that doesn’t have a Netflix account.  I prefer recording TV episodes on my dvr.
11. Scene It is my favorite board game. I ‘ve never lost.  I really enjoy movies/ movie trivia.
12. One of my favorite things to do when I’m bored is to drive around and listen to music in my car. It clears my mind.
13. My guilty pleasure is celebrity news/entertainment news. My dream is to become an entertainment news reporter/anchor.

Mariah’s Questions

If you could be any fictional character, who would you choose?

 If I could be any fictional character I would be Carrie Bradshaw.  I know it might be a cliché answer, but Carrie is fabulous. She has a rent-controlled apartment in New York City, a closet filled with clothes and shoes that any fashionista would kill for, an established career, and one of the best TV relationships with her husband Mr. Big. Her life seems pretty perfect to me.

What is the last movie/song/book that made you tear up?

The last thing that made me tear up was YouTube videos. I decided the other day to look up videos of soldiers coming come to their families and engagement proposals.  Every time I watch these types of videos, I get so happy for them I start to tear up. Which leads to an embarrassing ugly Kim Kardashian type of cry.  I know, I know it’s embarrassing, but I’m a softie when it comes to those types of videos. Especially the soldiers coming home to their love ones videos. If you ever YouTube those videos, prepare yourself because you will probably tear up.

What is your Favorite quote?

I don’t have a favorite quote of all time, but lately I’ve liked “ Normality is a paved road. It’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it.” – Vincent van Gogh.  Also, I like “ The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” –William Shakespeare

Do you ever get mistaken as a certain celebrity?

I personally don’t think I look like any certain celebrity. I’ve gotten Taissa Farmiga from American Horror Story and Jennifer Love Hewitt. There are some similarities, but for the most part I don’t see it.

Would you rather read from a paperback or on a Kindle/Nook?

I would rather read from a paperback. I’m kind of old fashioned like that. There is something about having a physical copy of the book that you can hold and turn the next page that I actually enjoy.  I also just really enjoy looking around at bookstores.

Are you more of an outdoors or an indoors person?

I think I’m more of an outdoors person. Some of my favorite things to do are to go outside and explore new territory that I’ve never seen before. I love hiking, kayaking, playing sports, traveling, and also spending time with my friend’s outdoors. At the same time, I also love the indoors. Sometimes, I like nothing more than sitting on my bed and binge watch TV episodes/movies while I’m also on my laptop.

If you could go back in time, which decade would you visit?

Hands down the 60’s. There are so many things about the 60’s that I love. The fashion was inspiring; I absolutely adore hippie style and mod style. There are so many fashion icons for the 60’s that I can’t even count.  There are tons of bands/ artists that I love from that era. I wish I could have a time machine just to go back and attend those concerts, especially Woodstock.  Politically, people were standing up for what they believed in and voicing their opinions. I think it was by far one of the most interesting decades. I am definitely an inner 60’s child at heart.

Where is your dream vacation destination?

I would love to travel across Europe or go to an exotic beach like Bora Bora.

What is one life long goal that you have?

My life long goal is to be happy and enjoy life. No matter what I end up doing as a career, no matter who I may end up with, or where I may be living, I hope I’m happy and enjoying the life I am living.

Peanut butter or Nutella?

I am definitely  #teampeanutbutter all the way. If a food item/candy has peanut butter in it, I will probably enjoy it. I am one of those people who will eat peanut butter out of the jar as a snack. The obsession is going strong.

If you could switch places for someone for a day, who would it be?

Um I’m not really sure on this one. I guess I would switch places with the President of the United States. It would be interesting to see what’s it’s like to be one of the most powerful people in the country.
