weekly digs.

• mini pizzas. what can i say? i'm a kid at heart.

• beautiful snow. although it wasn't as fierce as previously predicted, it produced a gorgeous sight.

• victoria's secret model to proverbs 31 woman.  this is what a role model is, girls! 

• stuff Christian girls say. i can't help but laugh. it IS funny.

what are you digging this week?

weekly digs.

• hot tea. there is just something about drinking a cup of hot tea and reading a good book. it's the little things in life. what is your favorite hot tea? 

• kari jobe's new CD, where i find You. i have been waiting for kari to release a new cd for, like, ever. let me just say, i was not disappointed with where i find You. it brings joy to my soul. my favorite song is steady my heart. 

 "even when it hurts, even when it's hard, even when it all just falls apart, 

i will run to You cause i know that You are Lover of my soul, Healer of my scars. You steady my heart."

• hallelujah cover by kari jobe, jamie grace, dara maclean, blanca, and nirva. this video...i have no words. just watch it for yourself.

weekly digs.

• hp external hard drive. the motherboard in my computer completely crashed earlier this month and had to be replaced. i lost everything: pictures, photoshop, ps actions & textures, etc. last year, one of my brother's friends suggested i buy an external hard drive to backup all my pictures just in case. it's funny how we always say "just in case" without thinking it will actually happen. well, it did folks. and every picture, action, and texture i have was saved on the little device. i was able to restore everything. motherboard: 0. external hard drive: 1. 

• slouchy beanies. i don't wear hats...like, ever. but i decided to give the slouchy beanie a try. verdict: if i could wear a beanie everywhere, i would. 

 beanie: forever 21

•  grilled chicken caesar wrap from naifeh's. i could eat this everyday and be perfectly content. 

• naked juice smoothies. i love buying random things at walmart.  

weekly digs.

• king's witness. i was browsing in a christian bookstore recently and stumbled upon a display. it had mugs, t-shirts, key chains, etc. it wasn't the product that caught my attention, but the symbols. they mean: "He came. He died. He arose. He ascended. He's coming back." how awesome is that? 

•  origami heart bookmark. i found the cutest DIY bookmark over at the cheese thief. the tutorial is super easy and it takes less than 5 minutes to make. seriously, look how adorable it is! (i spy hunger games!)

•  colton dixon.  last year, colton went home way too soon on american idol. this year, he came back to support his sister. the judges found out he was there and made him sing. (shocker)  they both ended up leaving with a golden ticket. score! i really like colton. he can sing, and he's easy on the eyes, but more than that, he loves Jesus. 

so, what are you diggin' this week?

• crocheting. my grandma gracie was teaching my how to crochet when she got sick and went home to be with Jesus years ago. i have read books, watched videos, and tried to have other people show me how to crochet, all with no results. until now! christina over at little fashion diary posted a chunky winter scarf tutorial last month on her blog. you guys... i was crocheting a scarf after watching it twice. yes, twice. i cannot tell you grateful i am for that video. i feel like my grandma gracie would be proud. she was known for her crocheted animals and knick-knacks.

• my new mustache mug. this fun little mug from urban outfitters is just plain awesome. there is nothing more to say. (nails: sally hansen's nail salon effects nail polish strips)

 

• craftgawker.com. it's similar to pinterest, but it's still cool. i really like this new site. there is also a foodgawker website. it may be better than the craftgawker. i mean, who doesn't love food? 

•  zooey deschanel & joseph gordon-levitt's video. they should just get married and have 25 adorkable babies. yes, please! 

 
what are YOU diggin' this week?  

weekly digs.

• taylor swift's new video for the song, "ours". in my opinion, this is one of the best songs she has wrote thus far, with lyrics that ring so true that i think she's been reading my journal. "don't you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks at things that shine." "seems like there's always someone who disapproves. they'll judge it like they know about me and you. and the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do." see what i mean? genius. i also received her perfume, wonderstuck, as a gift. it smells so good! 

• tara leigh cobble's new book, orange jumpsuit: letters to the God of freedom. i cannot put this book down. here's an excerpt: 

•  my new study bible. it's the NLT version, which is one of my favorites. i started a daily bible plan to help me read through the bible in a year. i am so thankful that God provided us with a love letter to help and guide us through this life on earth.

• mabelline's baby lips moisturizing balm.  this is 100% true to its name. oh mylanta, you guys. this stuff is awesome. it gives you baby soft lips with a hint of color. my absolute favorite is pink punch (left). but the best part is they're cheap! do yourself a favor and go buy one (or three) of these great balms.
