Published on May 21, 2019 by 💫Ava💫24 Comments

Welcome back to my itsy-bitsy corner of the web! And if you’re new here, WELCOME!

Today’s post is going to be a new monthly series where I share some recent rambles, things that I have been pretty excited about.

I also will continue my recent reads series every other Tuesday!

+books

So I haven’t had a bunch of time to read books because I have been busy with a few things, but I was able to read a few.

Shadow and Bone (The Shadow and Bone Trilogy, #1)

( I LOVED SHADOW AND BONE! for some reason I kinda liked the Darkling. He just seemed like a brooding and alluring guy that could wear a trench coat)

I reread this to prepare for SUPERNOVA! Tbh, I cannot wait for this series to end, because it’s putting too much pressure on me emotionally. MARISSA JUST TELL ME: DO ADRIAN AND NOVA END UP TOGETHER??

+tom holland

So recently, I got kind of obsessed with these tom holland memes.

This reminds me of my youngest brother – he’s always twirling about.

He’s afraid of spiders and it’s so adorably funny.

He loves puppies! I wish I had a puppy… 😦

+life

+I am really excited because I am starting a blog design Business, which will hopefully launch by Memorial Day. I am working on one of my first official client’s website right now!
+ I am trying to work on writing some of my novels

+ I have been trying to teach myself some more piano notes so that I can play more songs. Me and one of my friends (who’s also one of my youth leaders) have been leading worship at our Youth group and learning more piano notes will make it easier to play more songs.

+ I am going to be entering the Intermediate group in band this fall, so I want to work ahead so I won’t have trouble with some of the newer notes.

So that was the first episode of recent rambles! I hope you enjoyed it!

what are your recent rambles? thoughts on tom holland?

january recap (Fiverr, bookstagram and fave reads)

Published on February 6, 2019 by 💫Ava💫25 Comments

Welcome back to my itsy-bitsy corner of the web! I am so shocked by how fast January went. I feel like the whole year will disappear if I blink!

January was a crazy-fast month. It was fun, sometimes stressful and an exciting start to 2019! I am so excited about February and the rest of the year to come!

Also, guys, I am so sorry about not being consistent with blogging. I always plan to write and post my posts on certain days but something always keeps me away from it! So yeah I am sorry I haven’t been blogging as frequently. Life really has been crazy (I feel like I always say that!)

Anyways, let’s get started!

Darius the Great Is Not Okay by Adib Khorram

The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey by Trenton Lee Stewart

The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart

The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner's Dilemma by Trenton Lee Stewart

I feel like I read more but yeah!

My favorite book I read I think is Darius The great is Not okay.

*sobbing* It was such a sweet relatable book! I am definitely going to review it soon! (when I am done crying in the corner)

I am trying to read 150 books this year and according to Goodreads I am five books ahead of schedule, and I think that’s good…?

Last month I accomplished two things I really wanted to do.

One I started a bookstagram! Yes! I have been wanting to do this ever since I started book blogging and it is so much fun! If you have a bookstagram I would love if you follow me! @elysianartiste

I also have started a fiverr!

Fiverr is an online marketplace for freelance services. I have posted some blog design gigs that I would love for you to purchase. And for a limited time, anyone who signs up to buy on Fiverr, clicking this affiliate link will get 20% off there first purchase! (this will give a small commission to me which I would really appreciate!) I would love if you buy one of my gigs!

I would really appreciate if you support me on both of those platforms!

scrunchies- THEY ARE SO CUTE AND JUST 90s

clips and barrettes- Okay I am kinda turning into a 90s kid and I love these

jumper dresses and mum jeans-

sunflowers

stars

literally anything vintage and aesthetic

oh also I really have become a band and theatre kid. I play clarinet and I like musicals. I am trying to audition for Matilda the musical which sounds adorable because Matilda is basically every bookworm

January was a great month! I am so excited about what February! Thanks so much for reading!

What books did you read last month? What are your January favorites? Do you have a bookstagram or fiverr?

Thanks for reading!

Tuesdays will be more bookish or focusing on a book or book tag, recent reads or some bookish thing.📖

On Fridays(or any other free day I have during the week) I will make a DIY post, art post, A motivational, a lifestyle post interest inspired post, photography post, Hamilton post The possibilities are endless…

Also a giveaway will hopefully be coming out soon… JUST YOU WAIT, JUST YOU WAIT!!

this is very small but I hope you all enjoy!

My little sister just lost her first tooth so I did a little photo-shoot with her!

ISN’T SHE SO CUTE !

So I recently got back into my wreck this journal! It is really soothing, especially since I strive to make my art look perfect. I really recommend it if your someone who always wants to be perfect, it really loosens your creativity and is relaxing. Here are some pages I have finished.
