Sippin' Coffee Flawless

Last December, Beyonce surprised the world by dropping a secret album, and coincidentally broke our iTunes accounts as we all scrambled to download it. Since December, I have been listening and re-listening to her album on repeat. As I listened to her album while holed up in my apartment during the snow storm, I got the urge to be crafty.

So here are some very simple instructions for how to make your own DIY, Beyonce inspired coffee mug...

1. Gather your supplies:
    - One Coffee Mug
    - Colorful Selection of Sharpie Markers
    - A Notebook
2. Practice your design on the notebook until you've made it perfect
3. Draw your design on the coffee mug (hint: if you mess up, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser can help undo any mistakes you made)
4. Bake you mug for 30 minutes and 350 degrees
5. Let your mug cool and enjoy!

I went to Target and was able to find a bunch of cute, all white coffee mugs for under $5

I practiced my design several times before actually drawing the design on my mug, I wanted to make sure the design was "flawless"

Then 30 short minutes later, it was finished

Snow Storm Causes a Weekly Covet

Happy Snow Day D.C!

Last night, a little bit of white stuff fell out the sky, so of course, the district is in a state of panic. So close all the stores, board all the windows, and make your last minute grocery store run for milk, bread and toilet paper. (P.S. Humans, milk is one of the most perishable things in our fridges, so what are you going to do when you lose power and can't keep your milk cold? Think about it.)

But let me be clear, I am not complaining! The capital's exaggerated freak out means that I get to work from home...WIN! So right now I am under my duvet in my old sorority t-shirt and faded yoga-pants.

Though as I lay in bed and do my work, I can't help but covet a comfy pair of PJs to make this whole snow day even more relaxing. And what I have my eye on is this pair of incredibly cute and classic J.CREW Vintage Short-Sleeve Pajama Set,

Also, lets talk about how Zoey Deschanel sported these on New Girl Season 3, Episode 3 "Double Date." So not-so-secret secret, I wish I was Jess from New Girl. But anyways.....

If you are also in the district experiencing this "state of chaos," I hope you can cozy up to your laptop in a comfy pair of pajamas!
