A Lovely Sunday

Most people think that Sunday is not necessarily a day for blogging, but I actually feel otherwise. I think that what you do depends on what you feel like. Like maybe I only feel like blogging on alternate Tuesdays. Haha, I just had to throw that in there. So I think everyone should just blog when they feel like it. BAM. 

So that being said I am here to start a ongoing series (I guess that's what you could call it) called Lovely Sundays. Making Sunday and easy day for me to share with you the simple things from the past week that I find lovely.

With the start of school looming in a week, the things that I have been browsing the interwebz for have been jumping back in forth between things I still need for my 1st apartment, and things I need to organize my school things. 
If you have not been to this website you need to go there ASAP. It is truly some of the cutest, and most efficient school supplies and organizers that I have seen. Very minimalist looking, but still made to stand out, hence the name Poppin. Their writing supplies are cute and downright efficient, and their organizing supplies look very versatile and extremely efficient. I am honestly considering ordering all my writing supplies for school plus organizers for my desk from here.

I am starting to think that Target might as well be college student necessity buying central! They literally have everything. For example, this kitchen tool set. This is a perfect set for student in their first apartment, and will probably last you a good while. I just wish that Target had the price posted online!

I have been looking all over for bath mats and these come in so many colors and are perfectly priced! Since the floors in my bathroom are wood these will be great not only to keep my feet dry but keep them comfy early in the morning, and warm during the winter months.

Now this is something that I was SO excited to find! I chose a daybed for my room, and I also have a nightstand but it takes a lot of stretching to reach it. Enter the perfect solution, this attaches to and hangs from the bed to help keep my essentials handy. I think it would be great to store my remotes in, along with some pens, and the stylus for my iPad.

Like most girls I have A LOT of shoes. Like more than you can count on one hand. And even though I have a place to store most of them, this would be perfect for keeping my favorites, the ones I wear everyday, on hand.

Now I realize that this isn't entirely college related but it is something that I am loving lately so I couldn't resist putting it on the list. If you haven't watched Breaking Bad just leave now and watch it. Trust me, you need to see this. I am actually on season 2 but it is very intriguing, and definitely interesting. Most of the seasons are on Netflix except the newest season. You can bet that I will be catching up ASAP.

Hello My Name is Ashley and I am a Netflix Addict.

Welp, I would think that the title of this post pretty much sums up what this post is going to entail. 

Just kidding.

But I am here to talk about a few VERY important things with you. (which are obviously neither important nor probably even relevant to your everyday life)

Anyways, I figured out that I watch too many TV shows when I needed an app in order to organize and keep up with the season premiers, and episodes that I have watched. So I found this free little beaut of an app called iTVshows. 

It is overall FANTASTIC, and perfect at helping my feed my addiction. It is super user friendly, and it is very easy to add tv shows, manage the episodes that you have watched, and keep up with your shows that are on hiatus, and know when they will grace your beautiful tv screen (or netflix or hulu) again. 

So here is a basic outline of how the app works

The only thing that is not shown is the section for shows that have ended. The ones on my list being SATC, Ugly Betty, & Jane by Design. (TEARTEARTEAR) Anyways, if you are a TV show addict like me you definitely need this app. I snagged it when it was free, it may still be but I am not entirely sure. 

As for a few other things that I used to produce this post, my new iPad, Snugg keyboard, and another lovely app called skitch, those will have to wait for another day.
