Autumn Window

I probably have said this before, but autumn is by far my favourite season. The colors, the rain, the cool winds and the feel of a warm cup in your hands... It's heaven for me. Our town's Chocolate Shop, Entrelagos (where I went to buy my Easter Chocolate!!) always changes their window displays. I have to admit that in the past years they have been a bit boring and unoriginal, but whoever is doing the new display is doing an amazing job!! I wish I had taken pictures of the other displays, so as soon as this one came out I made sure to take pictures. The attention to detail is amazing, it really brings it all together. 

Walking about town and seeing these kinds of details makes one really feel that autumn is here, and it makes me very happy.

Things I Want

So, considering that I have a job now (sort of), I decided I should probably make a list of the things I have been wanting to buy for a while... most of it is makeup-related, and the last one is a far cry from what I probably would be able to afford. But it's nice to dream, right? I would have added a plane ticket to france, but I like to keep things somewhat realistic. So here goes: 

➀ Lime Crime's VENUS the Grunge Palette

➁ Tony Moly's Peach Handcream

➂ Pantone Universe Palette

➃ This makeup brush set

➄ Mushroom Magnets

➅ instax mini 90 Neo Classic

It's Mushroom Season!!

Autumn is finally here, and you know what that means? Mushrooms!! These past weeks I've begun to see them sprouting everywhere and I've just been dying to go out with my camera and go mushroom hunting. I took these photos last weekend and I'm really happy with how all of them turned out. It makes me want to go out and look for more. 

Amanita Muscaria

  

I'm afraid I was only able to identify the Amanita, so I'm trying to get in contact with someone who knows a bit more. If I know anything I will be sure to update.

Lollapalooza Chile 2016

My, it truly took forever for me to get this post up... but here it is! I went to Lollapalooza this year!! It was held on the March 19-20. I worked all summer and was able to afford all the expenses; so I was off to the city and had one of the best weekend's ever. There were so many bands, so many people, and it was all so much fun. I've never done something like this before, it was most definitely out of my comfort zone, but it turned out great so I will probably keep doing things like this. (I've actually got concert tickets to go to see Crystal Castles on the 28th of this month!!) 

Above you can see the bracelet I wore to be able to get in and out of the festival; the concert tickets (or what was left of them); the booklet we were given; a receipt for some tokens that I could use inside to buy things; and my public transport card (bip!) that was Lollapalooza themed to promote the use of the public transport to reduce our carbon footprint.

Below are the different bands that were there, the stage each played on and the times. Overall I saw Eminem, Die Antwoord, Marina and the Diamonds, Of Monsters and Men, Twenty One Pilots, Jack U, Alabama Shakes, Stone Giant, Eagles of Death Metal, DJ Who and Bad Religion.

Little Swan Planters - DIY

So today I was waiting at the bus stop, and I saw a cluster of Baby Tears on the ground. I quickly scooped some up into a glass container and brought them home. I've been looking for these for a really long time since I've been wanting to plant them in some little swan figures that I own, and today I was able to do just that! I feel sort of silly calling this a DIY, since it's so simple, but since I took step by step photos of the process, I thought why not. 

items used:

❀2 small swan planters

❀small stones

❀soil

❀spoon

❀glass with water

❀plant of choice ~ Baby Tears

Baby Tears

These are the planters I decided to use. They were thrifted by my mom 3 years ago.

1. Fill the bottom of the planters with pebbles for drainage.

2. With a small spoon I carefully filled them with soil (this soil I got from our compost, so it's rich in nutrients for the plant babies)

3. I took a small portion of the plant, loosened up the roots and planted it. I used a toothpick to bury the roots. 

4. I used the same spoon from before to water them. I gave them each 2-3 teaspoons of water.

And that was it! I loved how it turned out and can't wait for it to start growing :3 I planted the Baby Tears I had left outside, and hopefully I'll be able to use them in the future. I was just really happy with how it came out, and it only took me about 15 minutes (including the photo taking) to do this. I love seeing these on my desk, it really brightens up my day. 

Take care,
