Hey guys! I just want to start off this post by saying I’ve debated whether or not to post this because most people are cooped up at home right now. This past month has been crazy, to say the least. I hope y’all’s Easters were full of sunshine, and y’all are staying healthy and safe. If anything, I hope this post can be encouraging, and help you plan a trip for when the pandemic finally calms down.

Hello beautiful ladies – and gents! This past month has been insane, and I know a lot of y’all can relate. It feels like every single aspect of my life has been turned upside down. From having to do school from home, to not being able to hangout with my friends, the change has been stressful and emotional, as I know it has been for y’all as well. However by staying home not only are you protecting yourself and people more at risk, you are also helping healthcare employees all over the world as they struggle to keep up with numbers during this healthcare pandemic and I just want to say THANK YOU! You’re amazing 🙂

Hey guys! Before we get into today’s post I just want to say I’m praying for each and every one of y’all. COVID-19 has turned so many people’s lives upside down, and for a lot of people–me included– we aren’t really sure what to expect next.

Hey guys! Lately I’ve been feeling really artsy, and as I’m also in the process of redesigning my room to a wanderlust/adventure/boho theme, I thought I’d share some of my crafts with you! This craft is a candle with a map imprinted on it, but you can also do this with any design, including photos or your own art. This is how you do it!

Hi everybody! Can you believe that it is actually January first? Yeah, me neither. I actually have to do school today, and when you are reading this, I am probably going to be crunching away at my exams. Oh joy. (That was sarcastic if you didn’t catch it)

Did you know that seven days after New Year’s Eve is when the most suicides are committed? The reason why is because it is when they realize that they have “failed” at their New Year’s resolutions and feel like there’s nothing to live for.

Oh, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells!!! In case you haven’t noticed, it is already December 11th, or in other places of the world, December 12th, which for me is really big. I live my year in expectation of the fun, bright, and fantastic Christmas Season.
When my family decorates for Christmas, we all get together, drink eggnog, and listen to Christmas carols while we hang up our favorite homemade ornaments and laugh to (or above) our heart’s desire. There is honestly nothing more beautiful than that.
Oversized Popsicle Stick Snowflakes by Making Home Base
Finally a logical and good use for popsicle sticks. And they are so cute!
Diy Old Book Page Ornaments by Tifani Lyn
These are absolutely beautiful. A little bit of rustic, a little bit of glam and you can’t go wrong. 😉
Lighted Burlap Garland by Create Craft Love
Like I said before, a little bit of rustic, a little bit of glam, and you can’t go wrong. This one will make anywhere seem like home.
DIY Sparkle Branches by Happily Ever Borrowed
Okay, so this glorified tree branch reminds me of the story of the Twelve Princesses, where they walk through the silver forest, except in real life. I literally just love the thought of a silvery sparkly branch that I don’t argue with the fact that glitter will get everywhere.
The Lighted Grapevine Snowman Wreath by Crafty Morning
This little guy is so cute, homey, and just lights me up. (That pun was definitely intended)
Diy Christmas Garland by Vicky Barone
If all else fails, make a garland. It’s literally so easy, you can find the supplies almost anywhere, and it instantly cheers up any space.
Diy Glitter Deer Head by Hey Lauren Rene
Although one of the more extensive projects on the list, I’m pretty sure all of us can agree that the glitter reindeer head is simply fabulous.
Diy Stocking Holder by The Home Depot Blog
Was anything ever and darling as this? I want one so badly, so if you’re gonna give me a gift. 😉
DIY Cardboard Star by Grey Luster Girl
This is so amazing that at first I thought it was painted metal, but no. It’s a cardboard star!
Pinecone Christmas Trees by Babble
So cute like a mini forest! Can you say no to these little charmers?
Diy Snowman Mason Jar Vase by Weekend Craft
This one officially breaks the “No Snowmen in the House” rule…but it’s worth it, even my mom agrees.
And that officially wraps up my post.
Have a very merry Christmas,

I love it when someone makes a gift for me instead of just buying it at the store, because it shows how much that person really cares, but in all honestly a lot of people don’t do it anymore, except maybe a few close friends. The reason why? Because they simply don’t know what to make me. They remember back in their teen years how they wanted the newest this and the newest that and then figure that I must want it too, right?
Maybe it’s my inner romantic, or the fact that I am a true nefelibata, but in all honesty, I LOVE it when people make gifts for me, and I ESPECIALLY love it if its something I will actually use, like the movie night box, or the headbands, or the coffee cozy…okay well pretty much EVERYTHING on this post I would love to receive for Christmas this year. And the best part is that they are all (mostly) simple and (mostly) cheap, so you can be thrifty and thoughtful at the same time. So trust me, as a Teen Girl I can guarantee that these gifts will be well loved by almost any girl.
Isn’t this adorable? Not only that, but I’m pretty sure that every teen girl drinks coffee, and those who don’t drink tea (and most also drink Starbucks).
These are so cute, and they should satisfy the inner elegance that most girls have. Not only that, but they’re a fun room accessory.
This is for the inner princess that lives in all of us. Am I the only one who dances around my house singing Disney songs? Cute, yet simple.
Every girl loves her lip balm, and not only are these homemade, but they’re cuter than the ones at the store!
Every girl has to deal with the hassle of keeping her lovely locks in place, and headbands are the perfect way to do that! With four different simple designs, any teen in your life will be happy to receive this gift.
Who doesn’t love a cute pair of mittens? Not only that, but this is an incredibly simple project.
Sharpie mugs are so cute, and like I said before with the coffee cozy, what teen girl doesn’t drink coffee? Or tea? Or some warm beverage?
Every teen girl like to put her feet up and relax every once and awhile, and Bath Bombs are one of our favorite ways.
These are so beautiful, simple, and earth friendly. Any girl would love to have these as a room decoration!
What girl doesn’t like snuggling up with a blanket for an at home movie night, eating popcorn and chocolate, and crying over dead characters? Am I right?
Thanks so much for reading my small insignificant post! Be sure to comment below which gift you want to give the teen girl in your life, and any other questions or comments below!
xoxo,
Tryphena
What a Gorgeous Day
