“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.”
—Mother Teresa
I’m starting to fall in love with the color red.

as the crafting mood persists, I’ve been having to seek new mediums. finished projects to be posted soon!
naturally
Today I was sort of on an all-natural, homemade, diy, organic, simple, etc. home remedy binge. I read about the healing properties of honey & vinegar and researched the whole no-shampoo practice. So I ended up
- making a baking soda-based shampoo
- mixing an apple cider vinegar conditioning rinse
- concocting an apple cider vinegar facial toner
- whitening my teeth with hydrogen peroxide
- and I am currently wearing a banana, honey, oat, milk face mask
And I also found this video demonstrating the application of 365 days worth of make-up in one sitting. It’s actually pretty gross.
I’ll see how these concoctions turn out - hopefully really well because they are so simple and cheap!
Oh, summer :)
harry potter according to my dad
I asked my dad to tell me everything he knew about the Harry Potter series. Here’s a recap of what he told me:
Harry is adopted and his parent don’t like him but they really like his sister.
One night someone or something comes and tells him he’s a warlock.
He’s accepted to a school and takes a train and can’t find the right station because it’s a special one for the school.
He’s nerdy and his friends are Ronnie and Sally and you always wonder if Harry and Sally will fall in love or if Ronnie and Sally will, but you don’t find out until book eight.
He finds a dead girl and a scary monster in the bathroom.
The popular kids at school have a leader that looks like Tim Lincecum.
I think he pretty much got it.
