- Geometric Triangle Shelf -

-I AM SO IN LOVE!!!-

Oh my goodness! I seriously cannot stop staring at our new shelf! ISN'T IT THE MOST GORGEOUS THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN?!?! I sent my dad a picture of a shelf that I saw on Instagram. It was some sort of store display... I was like, "Do you think this is something you could make?" and My Dad went and got all the wood and just built and stained the thing. Like, no measurements, no instructions, just straight up looked at a picture and built T H I S!!! The first time he brought it over, it was in 2 INCHES too big! Lol. We laughed about it but it was a total bummer!! So he took it back to his house, cut 8 inches off the bottom, and put it back together!! In less than an hour! -HOW!!!- He had to do that perfectly for it all to match up!! We brought it back to my house and he put the two halves together! 

This has changed up our kitchen entirely!! I had tapestries and scarves hanging up and different tables/wicker shelves! Everything was bright and colorful!... Like, whattttt?!?! It looks so much better! Just clean and earthy! I liked it before, but I AM OBSESSED NOW! All I really want in my kitchen is this shelf and -PLANTS! - PLANTS! - PLANTS!- I want plants all over this shelf! -All over the floor! -Hanging Everywhere! I JUST WANT THEM ALL OVER MY HOUSE! They make me so happy!!!<3


Ps. I found basically everything on this shelf Thrifting! <3 Shocker! haha. Well, mostly all the things in my house, really! Lol. 


-Meet ze Papa!!! Troy!!- 

He has also made me a small triangle, tiny octagons, a moon, and Mountains!! Not sure if ya'll would be interested in seeing those or not, but I will probs do it anyway (; 

Shout Out to the Pops <3 

Does the thought of Me keep you up at night?

Alien Embroidery!!!


Okay, so here's the deal! I have literally NO IDEA if I am even doing this correctly! I just went and bought a hoop, needle, thread, and fabric. And just kinda ran with it! And basically... I absolutely LOVE doing this! It's so much fun!!! At first, it's pretty time consuming but honestly, so relaxing. I get all my supplies and do it while I'm watching a show. 

It's ALL in the little details!!! 

I usually draw the big outline of whatever design I am doing on the fabric first! Just to make sure I have the right size of hoop and what not. After I go around the edges, I do all the details with the thread! It really is the most simple thing ever... but the most important! 

One thing to keep in mind.... You will stab yourself a TON! Don't get frustrated! I still poke myself quite a bit, not as much as when I first started, so you'll get the hang of it! This was the second one I had ever done. 

And I totally tried to attempt an "American horror story-ish" font! haha (: So its whatevs!(; 

I have already done quite a few! So I will totally be posting those soon! (: 

Let me know what you think!!! (: 


UNTIL NEXT TIME, LOVELIES <3

I Really Dig Anatomical Shit!(:

HomeMack Pettit1 Comment

I'm never sure how to start these things... Like, kinda how a comedian needs an opener for their show... Only this isn't a show, and I'm not a comedian. haha. So, maybe not the same thing. *Welpppp* haha. 

edit1.jpg

K... Do you guys obsess over your homes as much as I do with Ours?!? (If not, lets fix that!!) Anyways...I found the dopest little anatomy figure the other day!!! Like, whaaaaaaaaa??? I'm not really sure if anyone else thinks this is cool or not... But I about fuckin' died when I found it!!! It was in a plastic bag on the wall at Savers... In the kid's section, I might add! It had a few other toys in there that I didn't want, so I just donated them back! It was $3.00 for the whole bag. Totally worth it! (; 

I'm not sure what it is about bones and the human body... I just really dig it all! Anything that is super unique and out of the ordinary has a spot in my house (; I'm seriously soooo stoked that Kawande let's me do whatever I want (; And he always LOVES whatever I decide to do! He really is so wonderful and supportive!(; I mean, I don't decorate like your average human. But on the real though, He always helps me pick where to put things! Or where we should hang something. Because I can't really make a decision to save my life (; haha 

ALSOOOOO, I may or may not have hung a mirror here just so I can have this view from our kitchen!! <3 I'M OBSESSED! I think I'm just going to look for a ton of random geometric mirrors to fill up this whole wall (: We'll see! 

If you find any super dope anatomical shit, USE #GOLDIEBONES I'd LOVE to see it!!! 

UNTIL NEXT TIME, LOVELIES <3

And all my grandmas just adore him! (; Sooo... You know what that means (; 

IMG_4763.JPG

Kawande is the guy who will slow dance with me at 2 am listening to Disney songs! He will sit and make plants and crafts with me for hours! He shows up with coffees just to surprise me! He always puts me first! Carries all the heavy stuff! Kills all the crawly stuff! And gets things for me on all the top shelves! Scary noises? He's My Guy for that!!! He puts up with my crazy obsession with Thrifting. He literally goes with me every time!!! I get so excited to tell him when I've come up with new creations! He more than supports all of them!! Whenever I want to try something new, he gets just as excited as I do!

Me: "Hey Dude, I really want to try making so and so" Him: "Hell yeah, lets go get the stuff right now!" 

He doesn't EVER make me feel uncertain! I know that whatever I decide to do, he will always support me! I don't ever question how he feels about me because he is showing me constantly! We Choose Each Other! We Support Each Other!! Over Everything. It's not a 50/50 thing, it's a 100/100 thing! He brings out the absolute best in me! Because of him, I dare to take risks! I went to Makeup school And had the guts to go to Cosmetolgy School! I never would've done those things if it wasn't for him! He helps me grow and be a better person!!! I seriously just blossom around him! I constantly want to do better and be better! 

I melt for these two Dudes! HOW DID I GET SO LUCKY?!?! Sweetest guys in the world! We always have the best kisses and cuddles!!! 

Oh my hell! LOOK HOW HANDSOME HE IS!!! Okay now stop! (semi kidding) Lol. 

We laugh hysterically! ALL. DAY. LONG!! This is no joke. Most of the time people don't even know what the hell we're even talking about! We pretty much have our own language. It's basically movie quotes, accents, dance moves, Singing reallyyyy obnoxiously, made up words and inside jokes all rolled into one! I mean it when I say, we are best fucking friends. He is my Homie. My DJ on road trips!!! My concert buddy! My phone a friend, seriously... I ask him so many questions about everything. He is so patient with me! If I ever need help, he is the first one looking up how to do whatever it is I need help with! He tickles my back when I'm sick and plays with my hair when I can't sleep. He gives me foot rubs without me even asking when he knows I've had a long day! Who am I kidding... He gives me foot rubs just because always!!! We make cookies at 2am while playing Mario Kart! And we talk MAJOR SHIT to each other when we play Mortal Kombat. Because I kick his ass! EVERY TIME! (Not even sorry for puttin him on blast! Lol. Let's do the damn thing, Boo!) He is my FAVORITE HUMAN! And Holy shit you guys... He is the funniest person on the planet!!! My cheekbones and stomach hurt alll theee timeeee! haha (: I'm excited for every single day with him! Most of the time I don't even know what day it is because it alwaysss feels like the weekend (; 

I feel like we have spent every second of every day together forever! He makes me feel like I can do anything! For reals, girls... CHOOSE YOUR BEST FRIEND!!! You won't regret it! He pays attention to every detail! My entire bad day will turn around the second we get to be together... Not even kidding. If we could spend every second together... I mean... That is the actual plan! I COULDN'T EVER GET SICK OF HIM! NEVERRRR! And can you even imagine how freaking PERFECTTTTTTTTT Our Babies are going to be?!? He is going to be such an amazing Dad! Don't get your hopes up yet, it's not EVENNNNN happening for a few years.... Lol (: We like to take naps... I hear Naps are not a thing with little babes... hahaha. So Ziggy gets all the snuggles and loves for now (; He is My Biggest and Greatest Adventure!

Things to know about Money Trees!!!

Home, PlantsMack Pettit2 Comments

.Things to Know About Money Trees. 


I picked this little guy up at the store, like I physically picked him up... so... I clearly had to buy it. We bonded. Lol. But I wanted to plant it in something medium sized to keep it growing a little bit. Then I'll transfer it into a bigger pot (: I have had a money tree for a little over two years now (: And it's gettin' pretty big! But this is about our new little babe! 

Isn't it the cutest?! I thought I'd plant it in a GOLD pot cause... You know... the whole Money thing... (; The first money tree I got was from IKEA! And it was already pretty huge!!! I got it for like $10!!! It was a total steal for sure! 

We could play "I Spy" haha! I Spy with my little eye a wizard!! Or... Maybe a Baby dice... How about a knight?... What about a baby deer??? I usually just buy something if I like it, then find a place for it later on! But I feel like it all somehow flows!! (: 


-Tips & Tricks-

  • Brown Crispy Leaves are a sign of dry air or low light levels. Move it to a spot where it gets a good amount of sun(indirect)
  • If you're not used to having plants, I would suggest getting a pot that has a hole at the bottom for drainage!(: 
  • Don't put next to heating//AC unit. It likes temperatures around 60-75°F/16-24°C
  • Water thoroughly, but let enough drain out so it doesn't get soggy and moldy! 
  • Wait for the soil to get pretty dry before watering again! 
  • The size of the tree can be controlled by the size of its pot. If you want to keep it the size of a bonsai, keep its pot small!
  • It can get up to 10 ft tall if you keep transplanting it into bigget pots!!(This is hopefully what this little guy will do)
  • Avoid getting water on the trunk, it causes stem to rot
  • Water less frequently in the winter time. It's not in a growth cycle.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! It looks so darling! This is a view in my kitchen! Another thing... I am obsessed with mirrors! I want them EVERYWHERE!!! It will open up any room!! I swear!! Do it!!! This mirror was $7 at Savers (; So, it's totally affordable! Ps. I will FOREVER be obsessed with my front room!!! Sorry 'bout it!(;

How To Make A Cactus Terrarium in 5 Easy Steps!!!

HomeMack PettitComment

.How to Make A Cactus Terrarium in 5 Easy Steps.

*Squeeee* How freakinggggggggg cute is this cactus terrarium?? I had so much fun with this one yesterday! I haven't ever really done little designs with rocks before and I'M IN LOVE!!! It looks all cute and retro like!(; Keep reading if you'd like to to know how I made it (: 


-Materials You Need-

  • Glass Bowl
  • Moisture Conrtolled Potting Mix
  • Cactus Obviously! Lol. 
  • OLDA pebbles from IKEA
  • Decorative rock 
  • Two Spoons 

Step 1:

First things first(Not gonna lie, totally started singing Nicki Minaj)!!! PICK YOUR BABIES! I went with these cute little guys!!! I would really inspect them before you buy any! Just to make sure you've got healthy ones! You don't want to have it die on you after you make it all cute! Trust me! I've done it! Sad dayyyyyy! haha. Whenever I go to the store, Kawande knows that if I touch the plant, I have to buy it. haha. Its ridiculous! I immediately feel guilty leaving it behind! Probablyyyyy why I have so many plants!! Oh well (; I'm not complaining! 

Another thing to keep in mind... I know cactus and succulents look super cute together... But you can't put them together. One needs to be watered way more than the other. You will either drown one or starve the other! So.... That's a no go! Make sure whatever plants you choose, they need the same watering pattern (: And you'll be just fine!! 


Step 2:

FEEEEATURING! *SNL Announcers Voice* My boyfriends cute hand (; haha. Had to bring in the boyf for the heavy lifting! Lol. My arm was falling asleep!

edit12.jpg

They're kinda dusty when you pour them out, but no biggie (: Just close your eyes, and blow it away! But for reals, close your eyes. (;

There isn't a whole in the bottom of this bowl, so you need these pebbles for drainage! If you don't have access to an IKEA, you can use rocks and/or charcoal! But it makes the plant super heavy!! Just make sure you put enough in the bottom so that if you were to accidentally over water it, it won't drown your plant (: 


Step 3: 

Now put about 1/3 of your potting mix in the bowl. Make sure you get the moisture controlled kind because cactus don't like a ton of water. You could literally drown them! No bueno! 


Step 4: 

The cactus will stab the shit out of you! They are NO JOKE! So, I just get both spoons and kinda pinch the cactus. It will squish the cactus a little bit, don't worry, it won't hurt it or anything! It just SAVES YOUR LIFE! Plucking out little pricks from the cactus is NOT A GOOD TIME! It hurts. I've had to pull the duct tape out and hope it pulls all the little needles out! Sometimes you can't see them, you just feel themmm!! Awful! 

Now, when you take the cactus out of the container, reallyyyyy break up the dirt in the roots. BE CAREFUL!! Sometimes there are little needles in the dirt and they'll getcha!! You will want to place each cactus far enough apart from one another. They need to have some breathing room! Lol. I use the back of the spoons to pack the dirt down around the cactus! This way, you lower the risk of poking yourself. I mean, I usually still poke myself. You get in the zone, and BAM!!! The little bastard pokes you! haha. Add more potting mix around the cactus! They like to be really snug in the dirt! **Don't put too much, you need to save room for your rocks!**


Step 5:

Noowwwwwww the fun part! Get creative with your rocks! I just bought two different whites! Then I remembered I had these black rocks and Vio La!!! These cute little flowerssss happened!!! I think I'm gonna have to get a bunch of colors and do some fun designs! Oooo. Maybe Ill do another plant post soon (; Summer is coming up!!(; Any excuse to make another plant is alright with me (; 

Caring for the Cactus!!! 

I would only water your cactus about once every two weeks or so! And not a ton. Depending on how many you've got in there. I will probably water this one 1/4 cup every two weeks! Just watch it. LOCATION. LOCATION. LOCATION!!! You can't put these in the basement. It has to have sunlight!!! Some like direct, some need indirect! Just read on the little info card stuck in the cactus or on the sticker! 


Please tag me if you make any pretties!!! I want to see all the plants :D Use #GoldieBones!!!(: Enjoy your new little babe! 

10 Tv Shows to Binge Watch on Netflix!

FavoritesMack PettitComment

.Netflix.

1. Grey's Anatomy: Okay, here's the deal with this one! I used to watch Grey's Anatomy when it was on tv... before Netflix... before DVR!! hahaha. Every Thursday... a whole week in between each episode! No thankssss! haha. I mean, people do that now. I just don't have cable. Back to Grey's... You will laugh, you will cry, some episodes will wreck your whole week! hahah. IT'S JUST SOOOO DAMN GOOD! Honestly, you can't help it. You become so invested with all the characters. Andddd for some reason, you'll just start walking around thinkin' you can perform surgery!!!!!! hahahahhaha. LOL. Another thing to remember, IT'S SOOOO CHEESY in the very beginning! It is, what it is! (;  

2. Arrow: A: Best Superhero. Hands down. My boyfriend will argue, but we know who's right on this one (; Batman comes in at a hot hot second place!!! (; We just have to agree to disagree! haha. We don't fight or argue ever.... Unless it's about this! hahahaha. Green Arrow is MY MOTHA FUCKIN' JAM!!! There are 4 seasons and they're all the bomb .com! Watch it. DO IT. You'll see... Oliver Queen is where it's at! Yeeeee!  

3. The Flash: If I could choose one superhero to be, I think it would be The Flash... A: He has to eat a shit load of food to keep up with his metabolism.... I'm basically half way there already... B: How RAD would it be to be able to run anywhere in the world at any time! Oh whaaaa? Yes please! I'm also obsessed with The Flash. The ONLY thing I don't like about Barry Allen is that he needs a pep talk before HE DOES LITERALLY ANYTHING. Lame. haha. Other than that, it's the shit! 

4. DC Legends of Tomorrow: Yes, yes and yes. You HAVE to watch DC Legends of Tomorrow. BUT, you don't want to watch it unless you've already watched The Arrow and The Flash! It is also starting to tie into Supergirl! Just know that if you do decide to watch this! You will be missing a ton of backstory if you skip Arrow and The Flash! I mean, unless you're not into the whole superhero thing... But I still think you give all these a chance! haha. They're just too good! 

5. Grace and Frankie: OH MY... SO DARLING!!!!! This is one of my favorite Tv shows of all time!! It's about two couples in their 70's! The two guys decide they want to leave their wives and be together! Its a super cute show with a ton of crazy family dynamics. haha. One second you're so happy and the next you're sad! haha. You will definitely ride an emotional roller coaster while watching this one! Ugh. It's so cute! I am most certainly going to be Frankie when I'm older! hahaha. I'm totally Frankie right now! LOL. 

6. Bob's Burgers: BOB'S FREAKING BURGERS IS MY JAM!!! Like, It's my go to show!! (: I'm not the biggest fan of adult cartoons. UNPOPULAR OPINION: I don't care for the simpsons or family guy... Sorry 'bout it. Some of it totally makes me giggle. But nah. Bob's Burgers literally makes me belly giggle. hahaha. I just feel like Kawande and I are TOTALLY going to be those types of parents. I've already watched each episode at least 5-8 times. hahah. I don't even know how many times I've watched my favorite episodes though! Whenever I can't decide what to watch, this is what I throw on and I never regret it! (: *FYI- They just removed a bunch of seasons, but head on over to HULU for the rest of them* (: 

7. iZombie: *Cheesy Alert* I'm not even gonna lie! Guilty pleasure. hahaha. It's about a Zombie that works in the morgue. And she gets visions on how people die when she eats their brains. I know, cheesy. But before you know it, you'll be hooked too. She teams up with the police and solves crime and shit. I started watching it one day because I thought I had already watched all the good stuff. heh. heh. Little did I know... (; Don't say I didn't warn you on the cheesiness though! Lol. 

8. Stranger Things: OMG OMG OMG! This show is weird! Good weird!!! And super creepy!! You will be wondering what is even happening like, 90% of the time. hahaha. But that is what keeps you watching! I feel like they just put it out there to kinda see what people's reactions would be. Now that they see how many people loved it, I think they will have a bigger budget on the second season that COMES OUT SOON! Plus, Eleven is the cutest thing to ever exist. You'll love it! Just give it a shot. (;

9. F is for Family: This is another adult cartoon. I just really love Bill Burr! Don't you? His voice is so perfect for voice acting. hahaha. He's the best. If you haven't watched any of his stand ups, DO IT! This is definitely a show that will make you giggle. But who knows... it might just be me! I say go for it! I can just picture Bill Burr the whole time and he is funny as hell!! Its about a dad in the 70's and he let his life just slip by and it shows his life struggles with his family. Hilarious! 

10. Dexter: I am obsessed with Dexter. Seriously. Its so satisfying to watch. CREEPYYYY. Lol. But for reals. The whole time you're watching it, you think to yourself "Yeah, thats exactly how I would do it"... No? Just me? hahaha. That's cool too. Dexter is a serial killer who kills serial killers... and just really bad people. You're rooting for him the entire time. Lol. I haven't met one person who hasn't liked it yet. We are almost done with it again actually. This second time around, I am catching tons of stuff that I didn't notice in the beginning. I love doing that with TV series. I say give it a go for sure. Give it 5 episodes at least! (: 


There are obviously tons and tons of shows to watch on Netflix! These are just a few of MY favorites!! I will totally make more of these lists, because I have no life when Kawande works the night shift!! We all love to binge watch tv shows!!(;

I LOVE recommendations! So shoot them my way if you have a show you think I should watch!!(:
