Tumblr Inspiration

Hey everyone! In the past I've done posts showing you guys collages of things I've been loving/photos that I find inspirational or indicative of my mood, personality, etc., and all of these collages have featured pictures I reblogged on Tumblr. Since I haven't done anything similar for a while now, I figured we could all use some spring-time inspiration :) For more stuff like this, head over to my Tumblr page, abundanceoferica.tumblr.com.

The Toy Story aliens that you see up there are actually sweet dumplings fill with ice cream, and they're sold at Disneyworld in Tokyo! So cool. PS. Clearly I like reblogging desserts.

I've been watching Skins nonstop lately, and recently found out they're starting a new series featuring Cassie, Effy, Cook, Naomi and Emily! I'm soooo so so excited. Also, one thing I've found particularly inspirational this month is Angelina Jolie's op-ed in the New York Times. I found it very empowering and it sparked a lot of discussion re: medical ethics, which is always an interesting topic.

Nothing much to say about this batch of photos, except I've been really lusting after those Tarte lip balms/glosses. They're soo lovely - I've swatched them in Sephora tons of times. (So expensive though!)

Netflix, Netflix, Netflix. I'm dreading the internet bill for this month because I've been watching TV shows on there nonstop... It's kind of a problem.

So I know there's nothing really representative of the iPhone app "Vine" on here, but Harry Styles and Joe Jonas have been posting some particularly good Vines lately. And I guess a recurring theme in all of these photos is travel, but that's something I'm always interested in!

Let me know if you guys are on Tumblr in the comments below because I would love to follow you!

Tumblr25 No.2

Check out my previous Tumblr25 by clicking HERE and check out my giveaway by clicking HERE! (You can now gain an additional two entries by following me on Tumblr!)

It's been a really long time since I made a post like this, and in case you don't know what it is... Let me explain :) Basically, I made a collage of the last 25 photos I reblogged on Tumblr (excluding .gifs and text posts) and I go through them one by one explaining why I reblogged them. This is just a way for you guys to get to know me better.

Liam Hemsworth: As you might recall from my previous Tumblr25, I have quite the liking for Miley and Liam. I'm not sure what he was filming here but I think he looks pretty darn good, no? Also, I genuinely wonder what he thinks about Miley's new haircut...

Breakfast at Tiffany's: I recently watched this movie, expected it to be extremely overrated, and surprisingly enough, I liked it. Audrey Hepburn is really charming. All I knew about her prior to this movie was a few cheesy, overused quotes and some winged liner, so I'm glad I got to see her in action. I'll review this movie in full at some point.

Carpe Noctem: I thought this graphic was really cool and considering "Carpe Diem" is mainstream now, I thought Carpe Noctem would be a little more hipster of me. (I'm kidding. Maybe.)

Back to School: I lol'd at this one. If you can't see it well, it's the Back to School section of a store selling a bunch of knives. I don't condone suicide or anything, so let's not get our panties in a bunch. I just found it funny.

Taylor Swift & Ed Sheeran: An argument can be made that Taylor Swift is my all-time favorite female artist, ever since she started out, and Ed Sheeran is my at-the-moment favorite male artist (all time fav. male = John Mayer), so this is really exciting for me. You'll see Ed a few more times in this photo set.

Breakfast with a view: I thought this was a really nice photo and reminded me of Europe. I miss it a little.

LOL: I want to befriend anyone who will go to such extremes to be considered a wizard.

Mary-Kate Olsen: Aside from being my favorite Olsen twin, I was sincerely jealous of her in this movie as a kid. I thought she was the coolest tom boy I'd ever seen and no one could pull off a dress and Converse like she did.

Demi Lovato: I'm not a major fan of hers at the moment but I thought she looked stunning here.

Emma Stone: Love, love, love.

I Tolerate You: It's the new "I love you".

10 Things I Hate About You: It was my first time watching this the other day and I found it to be quite enjoyable. Heath Leadger was a babe in this. RIP

Colton Haynes: Like I mentioned in my last Tumblr25, I think Colton Haynes is incredibly sexy. Tell me you disagree, I'll tell you you're lying to yourself.

Olympics: This was a really sad moment for the Canadians at the Olympics. We thought we were bringing home a bronze in the men's relay but it turns out one of them stepped out of his lane and was therefore disqualified. Personally, I saw no such thing and I think they should've appealed it, but hey. You win some you lose some.

Religion: I believe in religion. All religions. And I especially believe in religious tolerance.

Elephant crop top: How cute is this? Anything with an elephant print needs to be mine.

Christine Sinclair: This girl tore it up on the field during the Canadian Women's soccer games in the Olympics. She was unstoppable.

Harry Styles & Ed Sheeran: I'm not a huge One Direction fan but I thought this was precious. I really don't think Harry needs a whole sleeve though. How old is he again?

Kevin Jonas: I've been having a lot of fun watching Married to Jonas lately. My 15 year-old self would have been flipping out at this show.

Miley and Liam: See first paragraph ;)

Ed Sheeran: So yeah, like I said, I love the guy. My favorites by him are Give Me Love, Drunk, and Wake Me Up. I wish, wish, wish I were going to his concert here in September :(

Water color pillow: This = me in two ways. 1) Painting, yes. 2) Sleeping, YES.

Mike Ross and Harvey Specter: Suits has become one of my favorite shows this summer, and I plan on fully discussing it in a future post. Seriously, flawless show. Gabriel Macht is a genius.

Team USA Drinking Team: I thought this was cute.

Tumblr25 No.1

Hey everyone! I think it's about time that I introduce you to my Tumblr: abundanceoferica.tumblr.com. My tumblr acts as my little online scrapbook. I don't post much writing on there (I'll stick to Blogger for that stuff), but I love it nonetheless. I've been on Tumblr for a really long time now, probably 3-4 years, however I only started getting into it late 2010, I'd say. Anyway, I've decided that my Tumblr is a pretty good representation of myself, and I didn't want any of my blog readers to be deprived from learning a little more about me, so I've devised a plan. I put together this collage of the last 25 photos I reblogged on Tumblr, and I'll go ahead and explain what I've been interested in lately or why those particular photos caught my eye. I plan on doing this fairly regularly, so I hope you like it!

(Note that these are just plain .jpeg photos, no .gifs or text posts here)

Colton Haynes: I know he's on Teen Wolf which is a television show that I don't actually watch, damn, this guy is good-looking. He has the most beautiful bone structure ever and if not for acting, he'd definitely be an Abercrombie model. Unf. You'll notice that I post a lot of eye candy, so yep.

Ryan Lochte: Okay, so this guy's been appearing on my blog a lot lately for many, many reasons. Of course, he's an amazing athlete, up there with the likes of Michael Phelps... But I can't even explain why I'm so attracted to him... He has this traditional All-American jock sexiness and I like it, I like it a lot. Also, I've been seeing screenshots of some of his tweets (see below) and I can't help but lol. He lives up to the pretty-but-stupid stereotype and it's just hilarious. Yes. I love me some Ryan Lochte.

Architecture/buildings: I tend to post interesting buildings and architecture every once in a while (mostly old buildings). This one, however, I reblogged because I liked the editing.

Kids: I reblog cuteness of all kinds. Exhibit A.

Art & Paintings: I recently took a painting class in college, and paired with last semester's Art History, I have a newfound appreciation for painting and art of any kind. Seeing really nice paintings (like that watercolor up there) inspire me to create some of my own. It's one of my summer goals.

"How To Use Maybelline": How cool is this?! I have no idea if it's real or not, but given my interesting in makeup and passion for old things, this was an instant reblog. So awesome.

Miley Cyrus: Ugh, I love this girl so much. I'm obsessed with her sense of style and lately, she's been rocking that top bun like none other. I've been a fan every since Hannah Montana (lol, I know), but I feel like I've grown up with the girl. Also, she's been smiling a lot lately which makes me really happy because I know it sounds cheesy, but I genuinely wish her all the best (in her career/with Liam/etc).

Spice Girls: I almost always reblog the Spice Girls. Nostalgia. That's all.

Massive Marbles: This post is a little more "Pinterest"-y but I wanted to reblog it anyway because I thought it was such a cool idea. Basically, you fill up some water balloons and put in some drops of food coloring, drop it in the snow, and once it freezes, you cut the balloon off and have really awesome, massive marbles. It's the simple things in life, right?

Tom Felton & Rupert Grint: I don't know if you can see, but Tom is wearing an "I <3 Ron Weasley" t-shirt, so this post is pretty self-explanatory in the sense that it is/should be considered universally awesome. I'm pretty sure I've reblogged this multiple times, actually.

Zac Efron: I've had a crush on Zac Efron for forever and half now, and I don't intend on stopping anytime soon. I don't care if his movies are cheesy or boring, just look at that face.

Tom Hardy: He's my bad boy crush. That's all. I haven't seen the new Batman yet (not really interested, to be honest), but I've developed a fascination with Tom Hardy ever since Inception. I should really get to watching more of his movies.

Lush's new makeup line: This line intrigues me SO MUCH. I've seen various blog posts explaining the concept and I'm just so utterly fascinated. I won't explain about it too much until I experience it for myself, but basically you get to pick colors/products that match your personality and it's so gimicky but I wanna try it so bad.

Marlon Brando: STTEELLLAAAA. A Streetcar Named Desire. Go watch it.

Bracelet stacking trend: I don't usually reblog things that are so bright and flashy but I really loved this bracelet combination. Arm party anyone?

Blog background: Yep, I found this blog's background on Tumblr. It's actually another watercolor. I love it.

Albert Einstein: This, ladies and gentlemen, is a photo of Albert Einstein wearing fuzzy slippers. You may or may not know that I have a fascination with Albert Einstein, not only because he was a physics genius (in fact, I know nothing about physics), but because he was a complete and total boss. Do yourselves a favor and read a basic biography of the guy (even just his Wikipedia page).

Photography: Photos taken for the sake of calling it "photography" is something I rarely reblog. Photography as an art-form is something I'm iffy about. Personally, I think anyone can grab a digital camera, slap on the macro option and take a great picture. But that's just me. I like photo editing because that adds a dimension of complexity that photography just doesn't satisfy for me. This photo was beautifully taken and edited as well.

Red hair: Okay, I dyed my hair red recently. This is what it's supposed to look like.

Sunset: Who doesn't love a good sunset? 

Feet dangling: I don't really know why I reblogged this. I would never even do that. Living vicariously through my Tumblr? Perhaps.

Chrom Hiddlesworth: So, confession time... I've seen the Avengers three times. In theatres. I am on that bandwaggon and I am holding on. Actually, no, I thought the craze was dying down until I saw this photo. This right here is a photo of Chris Hemsworth AND Tom Hiddleston as one person. Thor AND Loki. Mind blown or is it just me?

Well, that's the end of this post! Hope you all enjoyed it and feel free to do it as a tag or something. I call it "Tumblr25":) Enjoy!
