aerialovely: the further evolution of aerialove

Tiffany Julia September 21, 2017

So I finally did it. I bit the bullet and finally left ariestrash behind in the dust. Well, as best as I could, really… And I went back to the beginning. Remember when this blog used to be called “aerial love?” And I used to blog about love? The name has always been there, patiently waiting for me to accept it. It’s taken five years and some tweaking (damn you aerial acrobatics!),…

on interconnectedness

Tiffany Julia September 8, 2017

So this is something different I’m sharing today. I’ve had this idea in my head to share some thoughts using paper in a stop-motion sort of way. I’ve been constantly thinking about the idea that we’re all interconnected and I wrote this bit one night before I went off to sleep. I decided to share it as my first stop-motion “thought poem” as I’m calling it. I hope you enjoy.

20 facts about me

Tiffany Julia September 1, 2017

I’m coming to you today with a new video of sorts. I believe I’ve done an 11 Things blog post a few years ago here, but that was the last time I really did a Q+A about myself like this. I’ve decided to post something different on my Youtube channel and wanted to share it here on the blog as well. I really would love to get to know my…

10 of my favorite “coming of age” movies

Tiffany Julia June 14, 2017

I just want to start off by saying that I am not a movie person. Like, I’m not into movies like most people are into movies. Some of my all-time favorite movies came out before I was even conceived and chances are some 80s John was involved. I’ve been wanting to share my list of my favorite “coming of age” type movies for a while now, but I never got…

diy shabby chic embroidery hoop corkboards

Tiffany Julia June 5, 2017

A few months ago, I created these cute, shabby chic cork boards for my room using embroidery hoops. I ended up taking down my original cork boards–these four 12×12 squared boards that I had made from cork tiles and recycled t-shirts–and reusing the cork tiles for these embroidery hoop boards. I purchased the 10 inch hoops at Michaels and the fabric I used to cover the cork is from Shabby…

daphne’s diary: a new favorite

Tiffany Julia April 19, 2017

I have a new obsession and it goes by the name of Daphne’s Diary. It’s a crafty lifestyle magazine from The Netherlands and it’s amazing. I haven’t been this in love with a magazine since my discovery of Frankie Magazine back in 2014. It’s just so beautiful. If there’s any publication out there that simply embodies what I’m loving right now, it’s Daphne’s Diary. From the French pastel vintage aesthetic…

a love song to no one lyric video

Tiffany Julia January 2, 2017

Hey friends! So, I made this lyric video to my song “A Love Song To No One” a very long time ago, but it was just released and I wanted to share it here with you all. It’s stop motion animation and I meticulously snapped hundreds of still photos of my setup using pretty scrapbooking bits to create it. I really hope you enjoy it. If you wish to support…

20 books in 2017

Tiffany Julia December 7, 2016

With the new year coming around, I’m hoping to make some changes in my life as well as this here blog. One of those changes is to read more. I don’t know what happened, but I’ve stopped reading. I read a total of one book this year and it wasn’t even a book, but a play (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) and that’s just pitiful. It used to be…
