Apple Logo Uses Fibonacci Sequence

Hello World--

So, you thought that Apple products were designed by artists who just had impeccable precision and taste? Well, think again. The famous Apple logo was designed using the Fibonacci Sequence-- a series of numbers that start with 0, 1, and the numbers after add together. For instance-- 0,1,1,2, 5,8,13, etc. Not only do they have fabulous taste, but they're good at using useless math sequences. Mind Blown.

Organization!

Hello World-



Amy and I recently decided it would be a blast to triple room with our friend Taylor next fall semester. We are all planning to study abroad next spring semester and figured this would be a great way to practice with the small European closets. Since they are so small I've had organization on the mind. Here are a few fun, clever organization photos I found! 

Have a good weekend! XX

My Half Birthday Celebration

Hello World-

I need to get into a better habit of posting things ever day so my friends can see what's going in on my life! A new semester has started; one I very much look forward to. My professors are so inspiring, I feel as though I'm actually in college now! This past Sunday it was my 1/2 birthday, so I made dirt cups for everyone with pudding, oreos and gummy worms-- they were a huge hit.

A few fun posts from around the web:
This animator is only 17 years old and already interned at Disney!
Jack Spade married to Kate Spade? (It's a fun website though, I promise!)
On Sunday there was a fire in the basement of a residence hall at college- here are some photos.
Burberry's Prorsum Spring 2012- Ready to Wear line. Fabulous! 

Enjoy the beautiful weather, XX

As My Christmas Break Comes Ends

Hello World--

So we all know that Amy was in the lovely Paris (or Chicago) for the majority of Christmas Break, but where was I? Here are a few highlights from my absolutely wonderful Christmas Break.
One day in class, in desperate hopes NOT to fall asleep, I started tracing a mini post-it note. It was a cool geo design and I was attempting to stuff information of some sort into them. Then I thought-- "Ah! My Christmas To-do List!" So here is my as-completed-as-it-gets list. I completed 31/37 things on my list. No too shabby. 

Here are a few moments that I look at and can't help but smile: 
Burgers and Sushi with David- My friend David is a genius at politics and goes to college out East. Unfortunately his parents are moving out east, so I won't get to see him often. On these particular nights we ended up back at David's house with my good friends Riley and Sara playing "Never have I ever", eating the wide array of delicious holiday treats David's mother whipped up and naming Pokemon characters. 

H&H Adventure Day- 
Hayley and I always have the best adventures together and this adventure happened to be to the Walker Art Center. I had never been and it was Free Admission Thursday Night, so we went! We got Wendy's chicken nuggets and hit the road. There we "contemplated modern art", saw an awesome graphic design collect and rocked out to Minnesota music in comfy side nooks.
 

Crafting and making Button Earrings! 

Thrifting- 
I got to spend a girl day with Sara and Nicole and we went thrifting and shopping! Here are a pile of new finds. The bottom is a long, polka dot dress that I am ecstatic to wear this summer in Florida with a fabulous wide black belt and a straw sun hat as I stroll the beaches.

Painting My New Room! 
This fall I wasn't even at college for a day and my brother had swapped my things into his old room. I protested by my mom told me over Christmas Break I could re-do my room. I painted it Tiffany Blue and made curtains. 1. A quick snapshot of my new room! 2. What my room looked like before 3. My inspiration!



 I loved spending time with my family and adorable cousins, Lincoln and Oliver!



Just a few other things I didn't have photos for:
-Spending many hours at the Quernemoen household baking browning and watching movies, just like good times.
-Uptown with my best friend, Kaitlyn. I didn't see her enough over break but loved every minute with her!
-Having a "me" day- including eating lunch at noodles by myself, purchasing a fabulous pair of trousers (as Amy calls them) at Gap, and reading books for hours at Barnes and Noble.
-Judging/helping at speech. I was only in it for one year but I loved seeing the intelligent and classy kids in suits.
-Last but not least, being back in Minnesota and seeing all of my friends again. It was a fabulous break-- hopefully summer will be even better!

The Lion King

Hello World-

Last night a few of my friends and I rushed "The Lion King", a traveling Broadway show at the Orpheum. Minneapolis has one of the biggest theatre districts and I'm so thankful that I was able to have one of my childhood dreams come to life on stage. The colorful costumes, the phenomenal dancing, the awesome sets and how true the show was to the movie created a truly breathtaking two and a half hours.

A few highlights:
I loved Timon and Pumba, their voices were exactly like the movie and they added such a light-heart, cartoon feel to really seal the deal.
They excellence of the costumes was incredible! There were giraffes, elephants and every other impossible animal to create. I believed the people were animals and not people.
The Savahannah at night had the most incredible stars! I felt as thought I was actually outside experiencing it for myself.
Last but not least, the classic songs bursting with life and energy-- Circle of Life, Can You Feel the Love tonight and others.
