Homemade coconut allspice diamonds from co-worker. Mmmmmmmm...cookie itself is like a shortbread. Very buttery and flaky.

LAST of the sugar for me for a while, I need a detox! Been sluggish. July sucked. Starting over now that it's over. EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!!

The fleeting embers of a bouquet of roses was brilliantly constructed and photographed by the creative team at Ars Thanea in Warsaw, Poland. The Ash as they have titled it, is arresting, poetic and kinda makes you think, “Why didn't someone do this sooner for a number of purposes?”
"We all dream sometimes, about something we want to have or do. Luckily, if we have enough patience, a real willingness and at least a pinch of determination we are able to make our dream come true. Our experience has also thought us to have the best and the right people beside you, because they are the main ingredient of every success. So this time we wanted to share with you guys a result of an idea and a great cooperation to make it real. “The Ash” - came to our minds as a simple thought - glowing roses - maybe as a some kind of symbol or maybe as a simple whim."

Being an adult is tedious, complicated and exhausting. Most of the benefits are sex & drugs & rock and roll, and I did all that in my parents home in my teen years...

Now, after sleeping too late and spending the first half of the afternoon arguing and working out relationship hiccups I get to spend the second half doing laundry and selling my late fathers crap on eBay. Joy.

Hoping to clean the crap out of this place because sadly, one of the rewards I have come to really enjoy about all the stupid adult crap is a clean apartment.
