Clear Lake Oregon| Scuba Adventure

Paul planned a scuba trip for us up to the beautiful Clear Lake Oregon for a fresh water dive yesterday. It's one of the best fresh water dives in North America. The water is a freezing 30-40 degrees celsius. The lake was caused by a volcanic crater and since the water is freezing all the trees left underwater are perfectly preserved, unable to biodegrade. The water was crystal clear and I obviously didn't need need a cup of coffee to wake up. Between our two dives we had lunch out at a picnic table and got to watch the campers row boating around the lake, the hummingbirds chasing each other, and we fed chipmunks pieces of our lunch. It was the perfect day. I might have to go back there to do some hiking. I seriously recommend it. 

Bohemian Bedroom

I went up to my sister's house in Portland to stay the night. We ended up having Thai food, drinking wine, eating cheesecake, watching Netflix and making crafts. For the crafts, we went into her backyard where she has two "pet" peacocks and collected some of their (and other bird's) feathers. We then collected sticks that had fallen from her trees. We then yarn wrapped the sticks and strung up the feathers with fishing line. I loved the way mine turned out. I decided to hang it above my bed.

After hanging it up, I was inspired to redecorate my room. I started by rearranging my nightstand and hung up my favorite Audrey Hepburn photo and a photo that I took of Pacific City. I also spray painted the frame of the picture of Paul and me from black to metallic gold. The eiffel tower figure is from a vintage shop, the crystal cup holding my jewelry was my great grandma's, the lamp is Nate Berkus for Target, the bottle is full of shells and sand for my trip to Cancun, the books are "How to be Lovely", "Other People's Love Letters", and "Beauty". The nightstand was my grandma's. I'm really loving the way my room is coming along.
