Knock Knock, Who's There?


One of my very favorite brands is Knock Knock.  They have a variety of items all of which are fun and hilarious, and even, on occasion, practical.  If you are looking for a gift, Knock Knock more likely than not has the perfect thing for whoever you are looking for whether it is a friend, a roommate, a coworker or a family member.  They especially have something if the gift is for yourself! :D

Here are a few of my favorites 

::Practical (but still fun)::

5 Days a Week Paper Mousepad
A schedule is important, especially in college.
This one is perfect because you'll never miss it right next to your computer!


To Do Pad
I am a firm believer in to-do lists, and this is simple and awesome!

All Out Of (Pink) Pad
The best grocery list out there.
Don't Forget To Sticky
Sticky notes are the best things ever, and this one is fun and practical!
Mental Note Pad
I for one always have random thoughts
and this is a perfect place to jot them down.

::Just for Fun (though can at times prove practical)::

Daily Mood Tracker Paper Mousepad
How are you feeling today?
Always nice to document your tragic days and your amazing days.


Things You Do That Really Piss Me Off Pad
Sometimes it's easier just to write down...
Things You Must Do To Make Me Happy Pad
Keep the peace in your room by letting them know
how to make you happy - no one wants to get on your bad side.
Or Else Sticky
This is better than a sticky note...its fanta-stick! (haha)

High Five Nifty Note
Physical high-fives are so overrated.






A Bit of Bohemian


I'm a big fan of bohemian-chic, whether it be in clothes or decor.  Dictionary.com defines Bohemian as "a person, as an artist or writer, who lives and acts free of regard for conventional rules and practices" or "gypsy." Considering these definitions it's not surprising that I love the style.  I was a gypsy for halloween when I was younger and wore a similar costume this past Halloween.  I also love to write, and I like to think that I act "free" when it comes to the conventional rules. 

I may not be sure how well I fit the definition, but I'm definitely not much for the so-called classics when it comes to room decor,  I like to mix and match different styles when I can, but it is a hard thing to master for sure.  In any case, I would like to introduce my first ever inspiration board: Bohemian Chic

Back-to-School Shopping

I absolutely adore back-to-school season.  Once they pull out those new notebooks and fresh pencils for the picking I am in heaven.  Of course back-to-school for a college student is a little/lot different than it had been.  No longer can we just pick up a list of items and go, the only obsticale being our mothers decision that the pretty folder with the stripes isn't worth the cost and shoving you toward the 87 cents folder instead (always a bummer).  Now we don't just have classes, we have a whole new place of residence - for anyone  who will not be living at home that is.  It can be overwhelming, sifting through the wealth of possibilities to choose from, especially if you aren't even sure what you need to take with you to your new life.  So to start with, here is Target's College Checklist for 2010:



Also, I don't believe it says rain boots on here but BRING RAIN BOOTS!  Nothing is worse than walking to class with wet feet, trust me!  And I used all disposable silverware...I know that's not incredibly environmental friendly, and that's very bad on me, but washing dishes in the sink that you brush your teeth and wash your face in gets old fast.

In any case, there is a nice list to start you off!  Happy shopping!
