Book Talk: New Shelves!

Usually instead of spring cleaning, I blast my music and rearrange my bookshelves. Before I had it by genre, now it's ordered by spine color. Overall, it looks fantastic. The bad side, a little harder to find a book, but not by much. My bookshelves are in three different parts because I don't have a full bookshelf. When I moved into my current town home, my uncle built my little brother, sister, and I, a desk and two shelves to go on top. The shelves weren't attached or anything so they just sat on top. Eventually, my book collection had grown so much that they gave their little shelves to me. Two of them are like nightstands which I keep my older sister's old stereo on and my DVD's on and the other is on my desk. 

Here's an overview of the shelf on my desk. Now you know when I said it's a shelf instead of a bookcase.  

Purple and Blue

Green and Yellows

Can you see the frog? My little sister went a little crazy with color coding all my belongings and shoving them in between my books. So if there's something random wedged in the cracks, it was her.

Yellows continued

 This is one the the shelves that act as the nightstand. I also realized that I have a bunch of yellow books because most of them are books about Ancient Egypt. I'm a bit of a history nut. Nonfiction books can get pretty expensive but my family knows were all the cool used book stores are. Gotta love cheap books!

Oranges and Reds

 Oops! A little straggler makeup brush sneaked into the picture.

Red Continued and Pinks

 I love my little pirate duck.

Blacks

I did have a white section, but I forgot to take a picture of that. Sorry! :( Anyway, I had to put all my books on their side because I was running out of room. I had to get a little creative there. But now I don't have any scary looking stacks on the ground that people can step over.

If you have a full bookshelf, you should definitely try this because it will look even better than mine because you can make a whole rainbow. Mine are spread about the room so it doesn't look as nice. That's okay, I still love them.

What do you think of rainbow bookshelves? How should I arrange them next year?

Collective Spring Break Haul+ Update

I'm sorry I've been MIA lately, it's not by choice, trust me. As you might be able to tell,
I've been on spring break. I didn't really have any plans except a few get-togethers with friends. But then my older sister came home for a surprise visit! She lives on the East coast and I live in the Northern part of the Midwest. So, I've been busy hanging out with her. The other reason is because the adapter to my laptop broke and there's no way I can charge it. My poor laptop has been sitting there dead for days. :( But now I'm on my dad's home computer.

Here's mostly what I got, but there still is more. The best thing was probably the fake leather jacket. I went to the mall with my friends and we found that Vanity had really cheap jackets in the clearance section. This one is cropped the sleeves can be rolled up, and it was only $8!!

And of course, I can't leave the mall without going to Barnes and Noble to get a book. This is actually a book I've already read but did not own. If you are into hard-core fantasy books with wizards and evil spirits, this is the book for you.

This ring is from H&M. I've been into big rings lately but I didn't have a gold one, but now I do.

I ordered this kit of Skin79 BB Creams from Amazon. I've heard that Asian BB Creams are ten times better than the American ones. The price wasn't all that bad either, only $10 with shipping. They are perfect if you want to try the different kinds or if you are traveling.  It comes with the pink, gold, prestige, and pearl diamond labels. You might see a product review on these.

My sisters and I went on a spontaneous trip to the Mall of America to check out the new Forever 21 that has two levels. This ring instantly caught my eye because it kind of looks like what a knight will propose with to his girlfriend. I'm not sure if this is the way to wear it, but that's just what I think looks best.

More nail polish, yay! Also from Forever 21.

Got this in a trip to Walgreens with my mom. My dark spots have been so frustrating. At this point, I'll try anything. Hopefully this will help.

Watercolor pencils have been on my to-buy list for so long but I've never had the time to go to the craft store since the closest one is 30 minutes away. But my sisters and I had just happen to be in that part of town and we decided to go in. After using them for a while, I really do like them and I might think about getting some that are better quality since these are the cheapo version.

So whenever my older sister is in town, all the sisters (there are three of us) go out for sushi. My younger sister is a little shy at eating new sea foods, so we could only get the safe sushi like the shrimp tempura and the cucumber avocado.

Got some chicken hibachi

Chicken wings

And fried tofu. 

We did have Japanese onion soup too, but I didn't get a picture of that. 

My friends should have never shown my Korean dramas, because I get addicted. My new show that I've been watching is Heartstrings. 

After my sister left, I did get some time to relax and just lounge around the house. That sadly ended when I dropped a bottle onto my foot and broke my toe the day before I had to go back to school. My pain tolerance is pretty high so it doesn't hurt much, but it's still a huge inconvenience. Despite all that, it was a pretty good spring break.
