Dorm / Apartment Room Tour (Video)

Finally a new video for you. Sorry about the late posting of this video. As many of you knew, my computer broke and it just got fixed and sent back a few days ago. The Internet in my apartment is literally junk and took me over three hours to upload this six minute video. I really wanted you all to see my room though. The outcome is quite nice and definitely suites my style. I also mention in the video that I will not be doing scrapbook videos for a few months. This is due tot he lack of space in my room. I don't have very much space at the moment. I am moving out after my 3 month contract is up to a larger space where I can scrap all day. Sorry about the inconvenience but it is what I have to do for the first few months. Living on my own so far has been crazy. I cannot believe that I choose what to do with my life. I am probably boring you all now so I will cut this post off now. Thanks so much for watching and reading my post for today.

Bonfire in July

I invited a few friends over a few days before I left to roast some S'mores on our fire pit. It was such a lovely night outside. It was the perfect temperature with a cool breeze along side the fire. I love nights like this with friends. Lana Del Rey and Florence accompanied us. I hope to have many more memories with these amazing friends. I will never forget them. Graduation has finally kicked in and I am starting to realize that I am not a child anymore. Friday is the day and I could not be any more nervous. Let's do this together.

I'm in the National Enquirer!!

This post is a bit overdue but I have seriously been so busy. As many of you know, I am off to college this Friday. I will be moving away and be on my own for the first time in my life. I am rather excited but nervous at the same time. Things have been hectic with packing, saying goodbye to friends and living the life of a businessman, blogger and 17 year old boy.

I have some insane news for you. I am featured in the National Enquirer Magazine. This is one of my biggest accomplishments I feel because this magazine is literally found in every department/grocery store in the nation. The other day I walked into Walmart and watched a lady read the article as I stood behind her in line. I would love for you to pick up a copy at your local department store. It is the July 8th issue and I am on page 8. I also want to thank you all so much. I am so grateful to have such a loyal fan base and I can't wait to start blogging my college experience. 2 MORE DAYS and I will be on my own in the big city of LA!

I am also having sales on my shop in honor of this accomplishment.
15% off with coupon code NATIONALENQUIRER in all 3 of my shops ::

What I Have Been Loving This Month

I have been debating purchasing this "Deter Rib Cage Tank Top" from Urban Outfitters for over a week now.

I decided to mix things up a bit. Instead of a post about something I have created, photographed or designed, why not a post about what I have been loving this month. I always run across things online which I then post to my Pinterest that I love. I'm going to a share a few for the month of June with you! These are just a few of my personal favorite "things" I have come across this month. What have you been enjoying this month? Leave a comment.

The live verison of "Dirty Paws" by one of my new favorite bands "Of Monsters and Men" is to die for. I love this band's sort of urban, alternative yet subtle style.

This photograph of marbles is simply captivating. I love the lighting and the dark colors. Just a photo I thought really stood out to me.

This Resin Elk Head Taxidermy from WhiteFauxTaxidermy on Etsy is just wonderful. I love the pop of yellow. Yellow happens to be my favorite color if you didn't know.

I have been reading Skunkboy Blog like mad this month. I love Katie's Quirky style. Her posts are of much variety so I feel she has something for everybody. Just a lovely read this month.

What have you been loving this month? I would love to hear; Leave a comment below.

Q&A Video :: Other (Stamps, Etsy, Fashion...)

Here is the last and final video in this Q&A series. This one involves any questions that really didn't fit into the first two videos which can be found here and here. Thanks so much again for asking all these questions because I'm sure it answered quite a few of your curiosities. Let's get off topic shall we? Today was my last day of school. Well, yesterday was the actual last day but today was a senior breakfast thing for an hour so I considered it a school day. I can't believe that I am graduating on the 6th in just two days. I also want to thank you all for being so patient. I haven't been posting as often as I would like. I have just been so busy. I think most of us have :)

Q&A Video :: Personal

I have been so behind lately on posting. So sorry about that. Things are getting a tad hectic around here. I am actually graduating on the 6th of June and tomorrow (Friday) is my last day of actual school. I have a short day on Monday and a breakfast on Tuesday. I cannot believe that high school is now over and I am attending college in just a month (I talk about it in the video).

Anyway, I asked you all a while back to ask me any questions you may have had and so many of you sent in such awesome questions for me to answer. Check out the video above for the questions and answers on the topic "Personal". I will also be doing one more video labeled "Other" for misc. questions in the next few days. Hope you are all having a splendid week.

You Are More Beautiful Than You Think

Hello Lovelies, I ran across this video on youtube the other day and absolutely loved the message it portrayed. The video is very inspirational and definitely gave me goosebumps. I now realize that people see us differently and we need to start caring about the parts of us that we love and not the parts we don't care for. I hope you enjoyed this video and I just felt the need to pass it along. Life is short, make the best of it.

Ask me Questions!

I have been wanting to film this video for quite some time now and I finally decided that today was the day! Please watch the video above and leave any questions you have for me in the comment section of this post (below). I will be uploading multiple videos over the next week with answers to these questions. Thanks so very much with helping me answer any of your questions. xoxo Drew

I'M ON THE NEWS!

I am seriously still shocked at the fact that I was on the news! Bakersfield news contacted me last week asking if they could do an interview with me. At the time I was extremely excited but as it approached the nerves kicked in. As many of you know, I do live videos all the time. I am never nervous at all until this interview. Something about a person asking me questions and me knowing I have to answer, scares me. My answers could have been thought out more but my heart was racing! I didn't want to share this with you because I feel it brags way to much about myself but so many people requested that I showed it. I just want to thank all of you so much for all the love and support you have given me.
xoxo Drew

My dream career is to be a professional blogger in the sense that I can live off what my blog makes in revenue. This will take a ton of work but in the meen time, I want to be a fashion designer. I think blogging and designing clothing would be a lovely career. I did get accepted to FIDM.
