Currently Reading

I am currently reading the following magazines:

One fun magazine about movies and another one about news. It's important to know current events, and be entertained!

Bloomberg Businessweek is a weekly magazine that I receive. It gives articles about domestic and international business related news, i.e. mergers, employment rates etc.
This is my first year receiving this subscription and I enjoy the information it provides. I usually read it in the morning with my breakfast.

As you can tell from our blog posts, my sister and I LOVE THE HUNGER GAMES! Jennifer Lawrence is a fantastic actress. I can't wait 'til Catching Fire!
This magazine gave great behind-the-scenes information on this movie and upcoming blockbusters. 
FYI- The Dark Knight Rises looks phenomenal!

DIY Hunger Games T-Shirt

If you read my last post (in which at this point you should quickly scroll down and then continue reading this so you have, indeed, read my last post), you'd know of my Hunger Games obsession. Which I now officially deem an obsession. Never one to buy generic, mass-produced shirts, I chose to make my siblings and I shirts.

Oh yes, also because it's much, MUCH cheaper and customizable; hooray for DIY!

**This sort of method can be used to make practically ANY sort of shirt. I have amazing Harry Potter ones too!**

Materials Needed:

T-Shirt (I used Hanes T-shirts from here)

Spray Paint

Cardboard

Scissors/Quick Cutting Blade

Pencil/Marker

Masking Tape

Game Hungry

THE. HUNGER. GAMES.

I had read the series almost two years ago and am proud to have been a supporter for so long. But I never thought it would reach the popularity that it has today, and I must say I'm still supremely proud. The movie, I know you've heard of it, came out yesterday and it was FABULOUS.

FABULOUS in the sense that one of Katniss's scenes nearly made me headache-to-death. 

But still FABULOUS.

(The nails I wore in honor of the Hunger Games)

Above it's a bit hard to tell, but the base coat is a light bronze shimmer color. Pretty pale under flash, but it's there!

(NYC "In a Minute" Quickdry via Wal-Mart, Warpaint Beauty's Volcano Crackle: Hot Topic, Ni-Mei Nail Enamel: some store in China)

This time, Warpaint Beauty came through for me! The Crackle works amazingly quick and has a matte finish look. Though when applying, be careful to do it quick or it will gloop.

Yes, gloop. (I think you can understand what I mean with that... word).

It's a long post, I understand, but bear with me for the next one about the DIY Hunger Game Shirts I made!
