Usually, when I brainstorming ideas, they tend to come in pairs. The first one, I already posted last month, I’m talking about the Record Player Stand. I decided to buy wood crates and get creative with them. I was thinking to do a post like “two supplies and multiple possibilities” or something close to that. But when I started working on the first project, I decided it would be better to separate both ideas. With this in mind, both projects are somewhat similar. However, I still tried to come up with something I never did before.

To tell you the truth, I wasn’t planning on writing this post. Thirteen Reasons Why isn’t one of my favourite show by far. I think the series started nicely, but towards the end, it got less impressive. Yet, I was interested in watching the second season to see what was going to happen next. I binge watched it in two days (from Friday afternoon to Saturday night), and I wish I hadn’t seen the last episode. I don’t feel this new season is a waste of time since it’s very entertaining and full of drama. Although, it’s not a good source of awareness and a proper portrait of mental health issues.

Today’s post is already thinking about the weekend. This recipe is perfect for a lazy Sunday’s brunch. You cook with the ingredients you have in the pantry, use any type of bread you like (or have leftovers of), and it’s quick to do. I’m one of those persons who love to spend time preparing a meal. I don’t mind spending the whole afternoon in the kitchen cooking dinner, making desserts, and appetizers. But some days, it feels good to just lazy around the house, not doing much. For those moments, pizza toasts are kings. It takes less than 5 minutes preparing and an extra 10, to cook it. Which, in the meantime, you can be doing other things, like a fresh orange juice to go with – ok, now I’m thirsty.

When it comes to holding to ideas, I’m the worst! I can have everything planned out, start working on it, and then something gets in the way. Whatever the reason is, over the time I’ve abandoned so many projects. Some were good, others weren’t, and some are already in the garbage. Despite not being great at finishing what I start, I usually like to “collect” things, so I have a few unfinished projects stored away. And for what?? Turns out it’s for posts like this.

How is it possible that April feels longer than the first three months of the year? I swear last month took soooo long to pass, but at the same time, how on earth is already May?? And I already have plans for every week of the month, not kidding. My social life is on fire this month, which means I’ll be able to hibernate for the rest of the year. Jokes aside, I have no idea how my reading is going to be. What I do know is how April has been, so let’s dive into it.

Do you know those moments, when you need something and the Universe makes you cross path with a solution? Well, this is one of those moments. I have a record player, and my biggest problem is knowing where to put it. So I was in the hunt for a good stand. I wanted something simple, not too expensive, and with a place to store my vinyl, nothing else. Despite my exquisite taste which only allows me to buy what I fall in love the first moment I lay my eyes on, I was open to suggestions. And then I saw a DIY with wooden crates in the Wayfair website, almost made on purpose just for me. And that’s when I decided I was going to make a record player stand for myself.

I’m sorry for what it’s coming next. In honour of today’s celebrations, I have to say this. This year, Easter must be a joke! Ok, I’m done. So sorry about this, let’s move on. Another month has ended, so it’s time to do an overall of all the books I read, bought, and discover.

Finally, April is upon us! I’ve been dying to publish this post. I started making this list shortly after I post the first part and now here we are. Three months had past which means another three months of new releases. I’m going to talk about my most anticipated book of the year – yaaassss!!! – and other great titles that caught my eye.

Author: Ruth Hogan   Publisher: Two Roads   Year: 2017   Pages: 336 Since Spring has officially started, there isn’t better book to celebrate this season as The Keeper of Lost Things. You might think “what do the lost objects have to do with Spring?” Well, everything and starting with the cover! This book is like a flower, it starts off as a little bud and slowly grows day by day. And since is Spring some days are beautiful and sunny, and others are rainy and gloomy. Although, that doesn’t stop it from blooming into a beautiful flower.

At the moment, I have 7 plants in my office and in the process to get a couple more. And, as if this wasn’t enough work, I want to get a bunch of flowers to decorate my balcony. As much as I love to care for all these plants and watch them grow, it’s nice to have a couple of fake ones. They always look the same, you don’t need to remember when was the last time you water them, and they will never die (bonus points!). This DIY comes from a shopping trip to the supermarket. They had those little jars with fake succulents inside really simple and was about 3€. Well, your girl here thought “I’m not going to buy that when I can easily make my own”. In reality, making this DIY didn’t get any cheaper, although I got to choose everything that went inside it. I …
