I was reading A Cup of Jo's blog and saw this. These are amazing wooden baskets for your biking adventures. I really want one now that I'm biking a lot more these days. It's perfect for going to the library or to the farmer's market. Since it's just me and my sister we don't buy a lot so this basket is PERFECT. Isn't it amazing?

If you bike do you guys have baskets? I wonder if there are other really neat ones out there. Let me know! If you find any good DIY baskets hook me up too.

a weekend of randomness || my life

Ah it's already Monday. It's already April 16th. I still can't believe about a month and a week ago I was leaving Seoul, saying goodbyes, crying on the plane and arriving to my family and friends here in Waterloo. Time is going by too fast and I wish I could slow it down. Every weekend has been pretty eventful making the months go by a lot quicker than I want them to. 

This past weekend was full of a lot of random things. Saturday I went to a craft show (Stitch 'n' Kitsch) here in Waterloo. There were all kinds of craft-makers  and artists there and it was pretty inspiring. I ended up buying a few cards and felt hearts. Not sure what I'm going to with them but I'm sure I'll find a use for them. I just really liked the mint colour. 

After that a few friends came over and we cooked dinner together. I'm a terrible cook but am always willing to learn. I didn't know what it meant to cut bias vegetables but learned this past weekend. Why say bias when you can just say diagonal? Then we went to a coffee house at a church to meet other young adults in the K-W area. After that I went home, decided to do my nails and discovered that I could watch Coachella live on youtube! I was ecstatic while watching Andrew Bird sing and play his violin. I didn't pay a dime and could see his face and the instruments up close. I know watching something on youtube doesn't come close to actually being there, but I was pretty satisfied with watching Coachella on youtube. 

Sunday was strangely a beautiful day. It was rainy in the morning but really warm. One of our associate pastors from our church was graduating with a MTS so we went to the ceremony. Two of my other friends were in the same class, so I was lucky to see 3 of my friends graduate together. The adventures didn't end with the graduation. Michelle, Jared and I decided to make a spontaneous visit to our friend in Stratford. We walked around the small town, chatted and ate good food. 

I love how a lot of what I did this past weekend wasn't planned ahead of time. I love spur of the moment hangouts and visits.  

post-easter chocolate || my life

Easter is great for so many different reasons. The post-easter chocolate sales are one of them. My sister is in the midst of studying for her finals and she needed a break so we went to the grocery store to stock up on some chocolate. Some of it was pretty cheap like the mini-eggs and some if it was just straight up ridiculous. I think the rabbit one freaked me out the most! I didn't like looking at the bunny in the cage. I don't think we're supposed to eat the easter bunny, just the eggs it gives to us! 

I like chocolate but I think I'm more of a candy fan. So I can't wait for the post-Halloween candy sales! I only enjoy the Ferrero Rocher chocolate. My mouth gets really sensitive and it's not a pleasant experience when it comes to eating chocolate.

The weather is being emotional right now. One day it's hot and sunny, the next it's all grey and gloomy and today was sunny but very cold! 

I'm still getting used to my new glasses. I'm not sure if they really suit my face. 

This is one of my favorite sweaters of all time. I bought it a while ago in Seoul at a subway station and fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. It's a comfy wool sweater but has all these cute little ribbons on it. I'm such an elitist sometimes. I love that it's a rare item. 

I really need to get a hair cut but I love the brown at the bottom. It gets really knotty even with conditioner. What should I do? I dyed my hair back in June 2010 and I  guess I've never completely cut it all off. Now I'm trying to grow my hair with a friend so that we can donate it. Since it looks awesome I'll keep it and just deal with the damaged knottiness. Any tips to make it less knotty?
