iPhone Wallpapers

If you’re anything like me, you’re addicted to changing your iPhone wallpaper. I’m constantly on the lookout for new wallpapers and I have a bunch saved on my phone in case I ever get the urge to switch. Here are some of my current favorites:

Eat Drink Chic has some of the cutest wallpaper! They're simple but colorful and look great against the iPhone icons.

The Kate Spade blog occasionally comes out with some pretty cute wallpapers. They're a good source to constantly check back on.

One of my favorite blogs to read is The College Prepster. She also makes really awesome wallpapers with Kate Spade and/or Lilly Pulitzer patterns.

I originally had a Pinterest page that had a bunch of cute wallpapers but I cannot for the life of me find it again. That'll teach me to bookmark more often. What are your favorite wallpaper sites?

I Love Books!

Today I stopped by Barnes and Noble to look for a book I’ve been on the lookout for: The Beatrice Letters by Lemony Snicket. I’ve wanted to read it since I finished “A Series of Unfortunate Events” and every bookstore I’ve gone to hasn’t carried it. I think I’m a little late on the uptake because I haven’t been able to find it but I went ahead and ordered it on Amazon today.

While walking through the bookstore, however, I (re)realized how much I love reading. I browsed through the Teen Fiction and the New Releases and wanted to read EVERYTHING. Some days I just want to lay out all the books I want to read and pick up on at random, read it till I’m tired of it and then pick up another one, and just keep doing that till my head is so filled with stories, my brain melts.

I’ve always loved reading but my reading inspiration came from Rory Gilmore. Yep, the fictional character from Gilmore Girls who loved books more than anything else except her mother. I always loved how Rory was a good role model for girls. She didn’t engage in the boozing and sex that most TV shows display but instead, she loved reading all she wanted was to get into a good college.

Yesterday, I took a day off from the computer. I did it without even really realizing I did it. I just didn’t want to spend the time starting into the screen all day and it was liberating. I got through two of the books in my Blue Bloods series (I’m a sucker for teen fiction, what did I tell you?). And I didn’t have a headache at the end of the day. Sometimes I just get headaches from staring at the screen for too long. I vow to take more computer-less days and more days to enjoy reading!

Find though she be but little...

This is one of my favorite quotes from Shakespeare and it’s from A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The quote speaks volumes to me because I’m of petite size and while sometimes I’d replace the word ‘fierce’ with ‘sassy,’ I think it describes me all the same. A Midsummer Night’s Dream was one of my favorite Shakespeare plays to read in 8th grade, probably because it wasn’t as macabre as Hamlet and it had faeries in it. I’ll admit, I had sort of a literary crush on Oberon – he was the king of faeries and really hot in my imagination. It’s been a while since I’ve picked up a Shakespeare play…

On Posting Everyday

I’ve been updating and posting here twice a day but I’m wondering if that might be too much. The reasoning is twofold: 1) While I might be able to keep up with it for now, once I start work, I don’t think it’ll be that plausible to keep posting twice a day. I mean there is queuing but I don’t know how much writing I’ll be able to get in with a heavy work schedule and I want to make sure my posts are timely and relevant. Queuing sometimes makes posts obsolete by the time they get posted. Though I’d like to be able to keep writing as much as I can, it’ll be tough to keep up twice a day. 2) I’ve been noticing that my posts that get posted later in the day (usually after 4:00PM) are getting more views, so it might just be worth posting once a day, later in the day.

I found this quote while looking for "writing" quotes. I think it's quite appropriate considering my goals for this blog!

What do you think? Do you like having more reading material from me per day or is just one post fine and dandy?
