Design Inspiration for My Future Place | Elizabeth Martinez

First of all, I would just like to start off by apologizing for my lack in posts. I mean 10 days without putting anything on this blog is just absolutely unacceptable but also unintentional. When I returned from my short vacation I had so many ideas for posts and videos and I am still really excited but unfortunately my lens broke and I have been waiting ever since for my new ones to get in from the post. Although purchasing a lens did set me back some, financially I was happy to do so for the love of my hobbies. I should be receiving them any time today or tomorrow!

To keep me entertained while literally being camera-less I have been inspecting the world of interior design. Being that I am turning 20 in nearly a month I decided that I want to keep changing and improving my life. With that comes getting my own place and I could not be happier. I have already made my first trip to Ikea, picked up a few bits to make it all seem real, and then ran home to further take notes inside of my catalog. I feel like I know the direction that I want to go in and I really cannot be happier.

So, today I'm going to show you all the direction in which I want to take my bedroom.
Very minimalistic, modern, yet comforting.

I definitely want to center the color scheme around whites and greys as that makes the space that I would be working with appear to be larger than it really is.

What are your favorite Designs or inspirations?

Nice is Just A Place In France | Thoughts & Review

 



As an almost Twenty year old, ambitious Female I often crave different genres of books that a) put me in the place of a fictional character who is in a dystopian society or b) make me feel good about my non-fictional self.

 

Part b is the kind of book that I opted for this time.

 

And this so though Gem is Called: Nice, is Just a place in France.

 

When I read the First chapter as a sampler online I was instantly hooked because I really did feel like I was reading about myself.

 

This books catch phrase is: How to win at basically everything.

and it's written by a group of girls called "The Betches" who claim to be sophisticated, modern, insightful, and fun.



 It contains pretty inspirational quotes and topics on almost every other page like the one shown above taken from a scene in Clueless. I've mentioned before on here How I never took school seriously and I talked my way through anything so you can clearly see here how I can relate to this book.

Until I got to this part in the 2nd or 3rd chapter and that's where everything went down hill. In the beginning of the book they placed a snotty disclaimer about how people shouldn't take offense to this, or whatever. (as they would say) But it still does not give them the right to make a vast majority of women feel like complete and utter crap just because they don't fit in with their idea of beauty.

I picked up this book thinking that it would make me feel empowered as I suspect that many people will pick up this book for, I didn't do it for self help- I don't need that.

So, the sheer thought of a heavy set woman feeling bad-ass and wanting to read something that will make her feel even more bad-ass, picking up this book and reading how she isn't beautiful and should stick to a diet containing:
- Froyo
-Diet Coke
-ICED COFFEE
&
-Adderall
is repulsive.

This book was written to make women feel bad about themselves so that the so called (Authors) would feel better about their Bulimia and Anorexia as well as their daddy issues, and the fact that they didn't get through college due to their good grades.

 

 

Ridiculously overpriced at $20, I wouldn't even consider buying this book.

I guess I'm Just not a Betch.
