Peacock Gone Wild.

When I was living in Florida, I was down the street from a family who owned peacocks that would roam around in the street. I secretly hoped they would be in the road when I went by, because if you could scare them with your car then they would open up their feathers and it was as beautiful as these... minus Nicki Minaj. I love her rap- I do not love her hair, but I had to show it.

"Tie-Dye" For.

Lately, I cannot get enough tie-dye. I want to try my stab at it, because in my entire life, I have never tie-dyed anything. This woman, Shabd has created these stunning fabrics by hand and then creates the clothing as well. Check it all out at http://shabdismyname.com/.

Stop the Worrying.

I found an amazing jewelry company based out of California. Dogeared. Their concept is that jewelry has a reason or a story. Right now, I have been thinking about Mother's Day... yes, Mom! I am in the middle of finals and STILL thinking about you. :) [she will appreciate that, as my biggest reader] I love this necklace. So if I find some extra cash it will be yours, mom.

And the worry beads--> my mom, ahem, used to give me worry dolls when I was little. This is the next best thing! A fashionable way to remind yourself not to worry- for each bead you rub it, think of a worry, and then let it go. I could use about ten of these bracelets now for finals.

"People use worry beads when they are fretting about something so they have an outlet for their nervous energy. Not to worry beads work for that, too, but you can also just wear them for fun, mixed, matched, or stacked! It's pretty hard to worry wearing something this cute..."
