DIY: Retro '90s Inspired Notebook

Hey everyone--
So this is a super super easy DIY! I had so much fun decorating my notebook and I think it's a really great way to make a more "serious content" notebook a lot more cheerful. I needed a new notebook to track my daily health patterns and UC symptoms and I decided to make it as fun as possible. I decorated the notebook with sparkles and stickers of all things that make me happy! It's the happiest notebook that I own and helps keep my spirits up no matter what I write inside. You can use your notebook for whatever you like! It definitely doesn't have to be for something serious. However, I think it's a great idea for a notebook that you use often so you are reminded of all the things that make you smile. 
& Yeah I'm a '90s child and I really miss the crazy sticker obsessed products that were popular back in the day so I decided to bring it back!
.. I mean how cute are these stickers? All of them are ban.do, seriously my most favorite store ever! :D The notebook is also from there. They're just rockin' my world lately.
Try it and tell me what you think!
Have a sweet day! Christina xx
Supplies: notebook, some really cool stickers, hot glue gun,  gemstones, whatever else makes you happy!
Steps: 1. Make sure your notebook has a background that you like because there will most likely be open spaces! I chose this notebook with tiny polka dots.
2. Cover your notebook in stickers & have fun!
3. Then use a hot glue gun to glue on gems and any other fun pieces that you want on the notebook!
4. Set your notebook aside and let it dry for at least 20 minutes!

Thankful 4.9

Hey everyone--

I am so thankful for those little unexpected moments of happiness in life.

 Like when a bad day ends in joyful conversation, or when you realize a shrub that has been bare all winter is now a blooming rose bush! I have beautiful roses outside of my apartment that I've been enjoying on my way in and out. They just showed up one day, like most good things do. I cherish those surprises and tiny joys.

What are you thankful for this week?

Thankful Thursday

Hey everyone--
I'm starting a new series on the blog to help cultivate a thankful spirit. I've been wanting to do this for a long time, but I haven't been sure how to go about it.

Wednesday Inspiration

Hey guys--

Here's a little inspo from Elvis to help you get through the week!

 I've recently been struggling through a lot of setbacks and I've been fighting the urge to dwell on negative thoughts. It's a struggle to stay positive in the midst of trials, but it's always worth it! Let's strengthen and encourage each other to not go bad!

Happy Wednesday!
