instax.

right now I feel like oprah, where I am about to tell you about one of my new favorite things, and wish I could plant a million of them under your chairs and shit…

fujifilm’s instax mini camera. guys. it’s so damn fun. I hate to admit that puff actually got me this camera for xmas, but I didn’t open or use it until we moved three months later. horrible…I know.

we keep this handy little instant camera at our ‘mini bar/game shelf’ next to our kitchen. it’s great entertainment busting it out to capture random moments and then watching it develop. the size of the photos are also fun (2.13″ x 3.4″) – and as you continue to take photos they pile up like a stack of business cards (yet way less boring, and far more precious). the film is a tad pricey, but is comparable to the cost of polaroid film back in the day (about a buck a photo).

…but to have a little handheld photo booth at your disposal? totally worth it.

can I just go back to this moment on the cabin deck in big bear…eating puff’s blueberry pancakes that I coaxed him into making with adorable little mountain mugs of coffee?


it’s the little things in life.

weekend.

it’s not bad kicking off a fresh week after such an incredibly productive weekend (both in a schoolwork sense, and a CLEANING OF THE APARTMENT sense). I did a major scrub down on a number of rooms/areas in our apartment- including our kitchen. really just makes me more motivated to study in different areas around the bungalow when everything is so damn clean.


I have to admit however- it was FUCKING torture on saturday. I was stuck indoors ALL DAY (literally- 11am until about 10pm at night)- painting swatches for monochromatic color scales and working on an analogous color portrait (sounds fancy eh?). seeing everyone’s IG photos…and folks partying off their decks in our neighborhood…was like a reminder that I won’t really have a legit summer this year.






*monochromatic portrait- painted with gouache on bristol…


anyone else think this week is going to be kinda weird? I mean- I work my 9-5 job mon/tues, have wednesday off, then have to be back in the office for thur/fri. it leaves you in an odd position just having one day in the middle of the work week off- you can’t take a day trip, you can’t get too shitty…but hey- a day off is a day off right? I’ll most likely be doing some form of homework/studying- but with this accelerated semester, it’s hard for me to even forecast what my schedule will look like 3 days ahead…








cheers to a new *holiday week everyone.


xoxo bun.

travel.

there’s just something about being out of your own country. makes you feel like a bit of an adventurer, and pulls you out of that little bubble you call ‘home’.


my mom was apparently cleaning something out- and stumbled across some old photos from when I was in Europe 7 years ago (gesh- that’s scary to type). funny that she emailed them to me right when I return from another trip. the first gem was in Florence, and the second in the Austrian alps <- total bad ass I know.
