  • how to buy cute stationery

    Tiffany Julia June 23, 2014

    As you know, I’m utterly addicted to scrapbooking and have recently joined the likes of many who are trying to bring snail mail back. With scrapbooking and writing and exchanging paper goodies with my pen pals, it is only natural that I hoard stationery too. To be honest though, I’ve always had a thing for cute pens, pencils, and notebooks, so my love for stationery isn’t really new, it’s just…

  • book expo america 2014

    Tiffany Julia June 1, 2014

    Yep, I did it again. Volunteered for ALL THREE DAYS of the Book Expo floor show. I worked Autographing again and wow was this experience a bit different from last year’s! For one, it was easier but also a bit difficult. Easy in the sense that I was familiar with everything: the volunteer rules, how the autographing system worked, the layout of BEA at the Javits Center, etc. For the most…

    the evolution of aerialove

    Tiffany Julia May 13, 2014

    As you know, aerialove began as my own personal exploration of love. I began this blog with the intent of writing and discussing topics of love. After awhile, aerialove just became part of ariestrash (as I combined both of my sites), and it evolved into my own personal blog where I write and share all kinds of things that I love. I love ariestrash. I love writing about my life,…

  • the idea of remembering and forgetting

    Tiffany Julia May 9, 2014

    I find it interesting what we decide to remember and what we decide to forget. Don’t you? And I say “decide” because we do. We pick and choose what we wish to know, we see what we wish to see and remember those things, all while forgetting the rest. Sometimes our mind acts on its own accord and forget things without our knowledge. Those are always the most interesting of our…

  • my problem with magazines and how frankie fixed them

    Tiffany Julia April 30, 2014

    I will admit right off the bat that I was never into magazines. I mean, as a kid I had my mother subscribe me to Nickelodeon Magazine because it was Nickelodeon Magazine! As a tween, I was subscribed to J14 after continually buying them at the newsstand. I used to love collecting all of the posters of pop stars and tacking them to my wall. As a teen, I stopped…

    Tiffany Julia April 25, 2014

    This is a very old cover of “Because I Can” by one of my favorite artists, Katy Rose. I figured I’d share it because I like it so much.

  • the blossoms of springtime

    Tiffany Julia April 22, 2014

    Blossoms. I love when the tall trees on my block begin to blossom. They canopy the entire street in lovely little white flowers that smell like spring and it looks so beautiful. I always count down to the day in which they sprout their first blossom, but this winter was so harsh that they are only now beginning to bloom. Blossoms. They give my street a whole new look. All…

  • for the love of the letter

    Tiffany Julia April 19, 2014

    If there’s one thing that I think should should come back from the great beyond it’s the written letter. With email and text messages, no one ever seems to write letters anymore, not even the simple little note. It’s quite tragic really, because everything else just seems a bit impersonal. I find that there’s no better feeling that finding a nice handwritten letter in your mailbox amongst all of those…

  • art is art is art

    Tiffany Julia February 27, 2014

    I’m taking this art class from CalArts on Coursera called “Live!: A History of Art for Artists, Animators and Gamers” and the first assignment is to “sketch” what you think is art and what people think is art. This is always such a topic for debate because everyone has different conflicting opinions on the subject. When I was taking an art class last year on Coursera, offered by Penn State,…

    because it came out perfect

    Tiffany Julia February 26, 2014

    I took this photo today because I needed a new photo for my new “about me” page. I used this photo as a placeholder, because I always use it as an icon for various sites and have always loved the look. I was really close to just leaving it as the picture for the page, but I thought against it. It’s my about me page, so the picture should be…

  • mini book reviews – 02.18.14

    Tiffany Julia February 18, 2014

    If there’s one thing I’ve been trying to do more of this year is read. I didn’t do much reading last year, which is so unlike me. I can honestly say that all I did was watch TV, because that’s what I did everyday…watch TV. Too much TV. It got to the point where I knew by heart the TV schedule to my local ABC7 station. Bad, I say, really…
