Weekly Sundown Rundown

Weekly news and feature roundup time!

Fellow bloggers, Corals + Cognacs posted this guide to blogging smarter. I love the tips about keeping stock images on hand. I do this for work and it helps so much, so I really need to bring this concept into my blog life as well.

Leonard Nimoy, known as Star Trek’s Spock, has died.

If you haven’t heard about the dress you’re living in a cave. My roommate and I turned it into a drinking game.

Thought Catalog posted a piece about things that strong women do differently. These serve as good reminders. Always treat yourself as an investment, go for it and never, ever put your life on hold to be somebody’s idea of who you should be. Be yourself.

New Carly Rae Jepsen! I haven’t listened yet because my parents’ Internet is slower than a turtle swimming through molasses, but I can’t wait to check it out once I make my way to an acceptable bandwidth.

Kanye apologized to Beck after that incident at the Grammys.

New Galaxy S6 design has been released if you’re into that type of thing. I personally just bought a new iPhone so I’ll pass.

My week? I…

• Watched the Oscars with Elise and complained about how totally unfunny NPH was. (Seriously, was anybody else disappointed? He wasn’t bad, just not awesome.)
• Filed my taxes! And here I thought I was going to put that off for another month.
• Grabbed the last copy of Birdman to rent from Family Video and watched it with Elise.
• Got a long awaited and much needed haircut.
• Headed downstate to visit my parents: I baked with my mom, helped my dad with a project, read a book and took care of some technical crap.
• Made delicious Nutella bread. Recipe coming soon!
• Made chocolate coconut mug brownies. I have a serious sweet tooth going on as of late.
• Recycled half a year’s worth of wine bottles. (The B in Apt. B stands for Barefoot.)
• Went to the Bird and turned the dress into a drinking game with Elise.
• Worked a 40-hour week at the paper as always.

You can keep up with this stuff as it happens if you follow me on Instagram.

Short of work this week, I don’t really have too much planned. I will probably forget to change my clocks for Daylight Savings and then struggle for three days. I can almost guarantee that.

What’s on your agenda this week? Let me know in the comments!
