hi, i'm olivia!
just out here scribbling words in my journal and making coffee and trying and failing and feeling the sun on my skin
buy my book!
click here to view my book "ON THE WAY HOME: a collection of poems" on Amazon now!
ahhh, your mood board is so inspiring <3 it captures all the vibes of winter. this winter has been surprisingly a pretty warm one, with like the first flurries/snow of the year this past week, and then it promptly all melted. So....yeah. I'm all for that, though i'm still wishing for summer. :) i'm going to go check out your pinterest now.
ReplyDeleteahhhhhhhh, thank you so much <3 same, we just had snow this morning, but it all melted within an hour, so yeah. I'd rather we had a white out. yesss, winter's nice for a bit, but it gets to a point where it's just.. meh. YAY. enjoy your time there ;) thanks for the comment xx
Deletei love winter, mostly because we don't have a whole lot of it here in california, but lately it's been cold + i can't wear shorts outside, so i'm not enjoying it as much haha. but i guess that means we're just spoiled.
ReplyDeleteyeahhh, it's been pretty mild around here so far which is kinda nice but kinda not. I'd kinda just rather there be a white out. hahaha, yeah I'm pretty spoiled too. I have friends complaining of a high of zero and I'm just like... yeah it just got below freezing here and I'm dying ;)
DeleteAw, I'm sorry your week hasn't been too great. I totally understand haha.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently not exactly the biggest fan of winter. Even though we've only had like, two weeks of legitimately cold weather here, I'm already going nuts and wishing that it would warm up. Right now I just want to curl up under a blanket with a good book and forget that school and stress exist. Your mood board is lovely though, and your Pinterest is my happy place.
Haha, thank you! SAME. I feel like our house doesn't get warm from November-March. Also, spring semester. Stress. YAY. Thanks, Grace ^-^ Pinterest is my where I hibernate through the winter (I wish).
Deleteugh, I feel you. Winter and school and life has been giving me a "eh" kinda week.
ReplyDeleteI hope it gets better for you!
I love your mood board ❤
SAME. Hope it all gets better for you too xx Thanks Lauren ^-^
Deleteokay I love winter and all, but winter is no good without snow, and unfortunately this year in good ol' South Carolina, we won't be getting snow. Therefore, I totally feel you on the whole annoying winter thing. Nevertheless I love sweaters and blankets and coffee and tea and fires and libraries and basically this mood board is actual bae. Like for real, so much inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYes, you basically just listed everything ever that is good about winter. Also, snow. SO GLAD WE GOT SOME. And I'm pretty sure there's some in SC too? Eh I don't know, but hopefully. I need at least a few good snows to get me through. Oh, thanks ^-^ ♥
DeleteOh, man. It's always so rough to start school again after the holidays. I start on Tuesday, and am dreading it. My best way of coping with winter is to stay warm! Right now I'm snuggled in a turtleneck sweater and corduroy comforter. And since I always feel rushed during this time of year, I try to do little things like getting coffee and just sitting alone for a bit. I also read more than usual. I've been making good use of my interlibrary loan!
ReplyDeleteUgh, I know. Breaks almost make it worse, haha. YES, those sound perfect. Same, I'm snuggled up in a sweater and my robe with my laptop. That's how I deal with the cold ;) Thanks for the tips!!!! I will be using these. ^-^
Deletei love your mood bored.
ReplyDeletealso i don't like winter :/ just waiting for spring and summer.

THANKS ^-^ same. ugh, like I know it's just January, but can we just hurry up with summer already???
DeleteGah, Pinterest. Such a beautiful, artsy site. As for winter, I would say....socks. Don't underestimate them. Having a snuggly pair of socks to strut about the house makes winter life so much more enjoyable! :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it the best?! YES. One can never have enough pairs of socks. Thanks for the tip- I'll remember it ;)
Deletehi Olivia. so this past week has been that one week of the month and i've had a cold and been back to work and that combination seems to have sucked any energy or writing ability out of me.
ReplyDelete(aka, ME TOO. I am so glad to hear that I'm not the only one!)
I love winter (it's snowing outside and it's SO pretty!) but I also despair at its length! like, SO MUCH WINTER. So that's where I am now, too. whew.
Oh my word, yes. Someone can relate!!! <3 It's now snowing here too, and it's lovely! Same, ugh. It's nice to have the interminable length broken up by some excitement from the snow (at least here it is hehe). Thanks for the comment, Olivia ^-^
Deletedude. I LOVE IT. you are precious, and pinterest is my home soooo. <3 xx
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU. yes, i die a little bit inside whenever you pin (you know in the best way possible) xx
Deletei love winter. but only sometimes. i caught a cold just a day or two ago so i'm in the boat with you. i'm yearning for the warm sunlight and grass and...basically warmth, man. lately it's been a chicken noodle soup and chill week. *grumpily looks at school* rockin' moodboard. <3
ReplyDeletearen't colds the worst??? cause they're not bad enough to get you out of your responsibilities but you still just feel miserable. ugh, hope you feel better soon xx and thanks a bunch <3 <3
DeleteEARLY SUNSETS WARM TEA MESSY HAIR BIG SWEATERS this is literally everything i love
ReplyDeletei like this mood board a little too much for my own good.
SAME i was like how do these people read my mind??? thank you so much gahhh :') i kinda want to crawl inside it and live there till winter's over too <3
DeleteI looooove summer. SUMMER STAY WITH ME FOREVER. <3 So sorry, but as long as you have winter, that means I have summer, so I'm happy. :P You can keep winter forever, yes? ;) Although...I do like winter for the ability to disappear behind a cosy jumper. THAT is my favourite. ;D
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by @ Paper Fury!
BRB flying to Australia. YES SUMMER. Also, fall. But right now SUMMER. Yes, with a cozy jumper, blankets, and socks, then maybe I can survive the cold (with a book) ;) Thanks for the comment!!
DeleteEEEEEEP MOOD BOARDS. ♥ I love. I really do love these things because they just give me FEEEELS and all the good ones and ugh it's like Pinterest embedded into your blog, which is like a freaking match made in heaven. ;) just saying. "i'm trying desperately not to despair over the eternity that is winter... < UM SO SAME HERE. We can make it though! I'm convinced. But yeah, I'm here for ya if you need to vent about winter...because I totally understand it, bro. UM YO YOUR PINTEREST ACCOUNT IS LIFE. Like I only follow um maybe 6 people on there? and that is all I need because I just have the best friends with the best taste ever soo... ;) ha.
ReplyDeleteMY FAVORITE SEASON IS SUMMER AND I WISH IT WOULD JUST BE HERE ALWAYS. LIKE WHY NOT. WHY. NOT. I have no tips. My tip is to cry. Oh and drink tea. And watch Downton Abbey. And repeat. yep. xD
love,
abbiee
HAHA, right?! That makes me so happy to hear you say that. *beams* My pinterest is my little haven where I can (at least appear to) have my life organized and beautiful and filled with lovely vibes. SAME always here for you to rant about winter struggles. I feel you. YES ME TOO. Actually I follow more than 6 people but I love the people I follow so yeah. Also- can we rant about those recommended or sponsored pins?! Like get out of my feed, I can choose what I want on my feed for myself #bye. Ok I'm done.
DeleteI WANT SUMMER REALLY BAD TOO. MY FAVORITE SEASON MIGHT BE FALL BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S SUMMER BECAUSE I WANT WARMTH AND SUN AND GREEN AND OCEAN BREEZE AND SALTY WAVES :DLFKD. Those are lovely tips by the way. ;)
ps I HAVE GOT TO START WATCHING DOWNTON ABBEY. IS THAT EVEN ON NETFLIX??? IF SO, WATCHING IT NOW.
UM YES THOSE SPONSORED PINS ARE SO ANNOYING. AND THE RECOMMENDED ONES TOO. OMG. Especially when it recommends stuff that is just...really...awkward. #tmi I DON'T APPRECIATE THIS, PINTEREST! YOU SHOULD KNOW ME BETTER THAN THAT. xD
DeleteHmmm I don't know if Downton Abbey is on Netflix...but it should be if it's not. I know it's on Amazon Instant Video. :) meeep.
I KNOW RIGHT. LITERALLY ALL THE TIME. Like Pinterest who do you even think I am??? ;) Okay, so, Downton is at our library and I'm really excited to start it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee xD
DeleteThe cozy feels of winter get me even as I sit in the 70 degree weather of the South. You have a lovely mood board and an awesome Pinterest! Although I end up not seeing all of your pins because of the frustrating "suggested," "promoted," and "related" pins that choke my feel.
ReplyDeleteI do like "winter," although I love fall the most! Here in the South, winter and fall are almost the same thing, though. My favorite ways to stay cozy include hot chocolate (chocolate applies to every situation, right?), bonfires, and fuzzy socks!
Thanks, Hannah!! UGH, don't you hate that? I'm like "I know what I like and I've already followed everything I want to" ;)
DeleteMe too! Fall is my absolute favorite. YES those are the perfect remedies for cold weather. ^-^ Thanks for commenting!
Ahh this makes me so warm and happy inside :P Especially the one with the books because books = my winter. I LOVE winter, I think it's my favorite season. Then again, I say that with every season. :P
