One of my favourite times of year is when the cherry blossoms are at their peak. It feels like the mark of spring. To celebrate the Sakura Festival this past weekend, I painted my nails with cherry blossom branches.

Seven
I feel as though I am always going on & on about the weather. I have to admit I am pretty weather obsessed. Probably because my mood is so dependent on it. I love reading a book or watching a movie when it rains, but if I am at work or school, I could fall asleep instantaneously. And if it's bright & sunny, I want to walk around town accomplishing errands. Anyway, this week might officially be spring (crossing my fingers). Preston and I went to the Cherry Blossom Festival at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, we ate lunch outside, we gardened. It was perfect.

DIY | Birchbox Drawer Organizer
I love receiving my Birchboxes each month. Not only do I love the samples, I love the boxes. I never want to throw them away since they just seem to have so much potential! Awhile ago, I saw this organizer built out of past Birchboxes on Birchbox's blog. I thought it was such a fun way to recycle previous Birchboxes. After I saw the tutorial, I decided I would make one as well; however, it took me quite a few minutes to realize that I didn't have enough boxes at the time. Well, now I have a ton of them (I'm approaching the one-year mark!) and decided to try it again. I thought I would post a tutorial since I found this one to me a bit confusing, and I had to tweak several steps for it to work properly.

Spring Showers
During our trip to Portland, Oregon, Preston & I went to the Japanese Garden in Washington Park. It was a cold and rainy day, but it was definitely worth being outside in the cold for. Here are some pictures from the garden and what I wore for the occasion.

Portlandia
Preston & I just got back from our trip to Portland, Oregon. We had an amazing time exploring the city! With traveling over 2,443 miles across the country with a 3 hour time difference, I missed posting my weekly Seven. So today I thought I'd share some photos from our trip.

Ipsy | April 2013
This is my first Ipsy/MyGlam bag ever! I loved the March bag so much, I decided to try out this subscription service. This month's theme is "Pretty in Pink" which wouldn't be my ideal (I'm weirdly not a pink person.) However, I am really happy with all the products & can't wait to try them out.

Sweater Weather
This past Saturday was the first day of the Brooklyn Flea Market, so Preston & I decided to walk to Fort Greene from Park Slope. We wandered around the tents checking out the handmade and vintage finds and had to make a tough call regarding which food truck to eat at. On our way back, we stopped at the Grand Army Farmers' Market. The weather was great. Though I brought a coat, I didn't end up having to wear it. Perfect sweater weather.

I can't believe I have less than two months 'til my graduation. Time just keeps passing me by! This week, I have been wrapping things up and enjoying (possibly!) my last two months in Brooklyn. It's crazy to think that this chapter is coming to a close so soon. It feels like just yesterday I moved to New York City and started my master's program, though in reality it's coming on two years.

March Beauty Favourites
Happy April Fool's Day! Each year, I wish I could come up with a clever little prank, but I always fail at coming up with something. If you want to see some, I "loled" a few times this morning with Zoya, Birchbox, & Cupcakes and Cashmere's April Fool's jokes! On another note, with the start of the new month I thought I would let you know what beauty products I have been loving in the month of March.
