Beaded Headphones

I've been listening to music a lot lately.
Like, a lot.
It seems like every other second I have my headphones in and I've noticed that I haven't been happy with my headphones. I kept looking in stores for the big ol' fancy ones, the ones that are like earmuffs; and although I found some I liked, I kept wondering if I could do something to the headphones I have now. I always feel bad if I buy something just because I don't like the one I have. So, I thought of wrapping thread around the wire, but the thread would get caught on the rubbery surface. 

And then one day, I found this post on 'stars and sunshine' that seemed perfectly easy. All you have to do is cut the beads. That's it! Easy, huh?







First, find the beads you want to use







Then get an Exact-O knife (remember to be careful, 
I've gotten scars from these guys)







 Then you cut one side of the bead















And just clip them onto the wire!























And V- Wall- Ah! (or however you spell it) 







Happy Listening!

Beating Summer Boredom

Hey guys!
So, summer is almost here! For some of you, it already is!
 I am a huge fan of summer, I'm a beach bum and love sleeping in and having days to do whatever. But what happens all-too-oftenly is that I waste my summer being lazy. Am I the only one? I can't be, so my friend and I came up with a plan. We came up with a list of easy things to do over the summer, and every day we take a picture of ourselves doing that activity, and by the end of the summer we have amazing memories, and photos to prove it! Then, we put all our photos together and swap to see each other's summer! I'll post my pictures as often as I can for you guys to see!
Want to try?
Here's my list of 78 things to do over the summer, because 78 is a multiple of 13, my lucky number (can you say OCD? haha)
