Keychain Redo



      Sometimes those little details in daily life really get forgotten about. It might not be super important, but it can be nice to take a moment to address them. In this case it was my keys. Though they have been added too throughout the past few years, I was never taking anything away, and what I was left with was a cluttered mess of old rings with no purpose, and a bunch of old rewards cards I never used. So I deciced to start fresh.


      You can see how bulky it really is here as well. Can you believe I was having a hard time getting my apartment keys out? And this time of the year, I want to get in my apartment as fast as possible, and not fumble in the cold for what feels like forever. 


      Basically I took everything off that was not needed.I kept the keyring of rewards cards in a pocket in my purse, just in case. These are the only things I use every single day. (aside from the spare car key to my boyfriend's car, but that is also important). 


      But of course you need some sort of keyring to hold them altogether. I've been on the lookout since having this idea in mind, and I found this keychain on a trip to NYC. It's cute and fun, but also simple and stylish so it worked perfectly. 


      Much lighter! I noticed the difference in weight right away. Also less noisy, and much easier to grab the key I need with no hassle.


      Again, it's not a huge change or accomplishment, but it's a nice way to freshen up something you use everyday. It's almost like cleaning up a room, just on a much smaller scale. :)

Catching Up

      One of the biggest excuses for not blogging is "I'm too busy!" And that is my exact reason I've done nothing in over a whole month.  Since we're moving, I haven't had a chance for any creative outlet. I am always snapping photos though so here's a dump of my favorite shots from the past few weeks. 


I love the specials that cafes come up with in the holiday season. 


Shopping at Antique malls yield interesting finds. 


Doodling has become rare and I want to pick it back up again.


Poinsettias are beautiful, but make me nervous! (don't go near those kitty!)


A very silly shop name.


      My own personal tradition of watching The Nightmare before Christmas on VHS, on Christmas eve. 


A beautiful, and green, Christmas morning.


My mom's dog helps me model my new socks. 


Yuko says "Meowy Christmas!"


Skittle is 13 years old, and will always by my baby. 


I've been bringing Zoey way too many treats home from work. 


      Sparrow recovers from all the stress she's going through. Poor thing has to watch us pack boxes, and move them and all she can do is sleep!

I'll get back on track soon!
