Definitely NOT Vodka

I drink a lot of coffee and I collect a lot of silly things. My coffee mug collection is pretty extensive. I feel that they are a fun way to express my personality and my interests. If you know me, you know vodka is one of my favorite things! This silly mug has pretty much lived on my desk since the day I got it. 

When I saw this cute mug from Got Me Tipsy, I just had to have it. It's so me. At the same time, it is also perfect for my best friend. I struggled with the thought of keeping it, or gifting it to her. The shop has a matching one that says "Definitely Not Wine". I think I will be grabbing that one as a gift for her, because I could not part with this one. 

The mug is white in color and holds 11 ounces of "beverage". It is made of ceramic. It is microwave and dishwasher safe. The silly text is printed on both sides and is of nice quality, and so far is holding up great. It's a simple shape, so it is very easy to clean. 

I have small hands, so I can fit three fingers through the handle with room for a fourth. I love this in the cold months, for warming my hands up.

I love this mug. It has simple, clean lines, a cute font, and the saying is hilarious. It's holding up very well to being used multiple times a day for coffee, tea, and other "beverages" I know a few people that would love one. 

I give it 4 out of 5 stars.  It's the perfect gift for the lush/quirky friend or family member in your life.

Grab one from Got Me Tipsy's shop on Amazon.

Mermaid Art with Gel Pens

Summer is here! I'm getting in the mood by making some Little Mermaid art. I am obviously a huge fan of Ariel. Her hair inspired mine. 

Gel Pens are an interesting media. Yes, if you are covering a large area, it's a time consuming process, but it's also very cathartic to draw those lines. 

US Art Supply has an awesome gel pen set. It comes with 2 sets of 60 different colors, so when you run out of a color, you have a back up! Sweet! 

There is a great variety! Classic colors, neons, pastels, metallics, glitter!!! It even has some swirly colored ones, which are fun for writing. I'm having a blast using the 4 different reds for Ariel's hair.

The ink flows out of these great and it stays on the paper...I haven't had any smudges yet, on my paper or my hands. There is a good bit of ink in the pens. This picture is on 11x14" paper and I am going to town with the reds, and they are holding up great. 





There is only one downside. They do not have grips. There is an indent in the pen where a grip should be. It isn't super uncomfortable, but I take breaks before my fingers start to get sore from holding the pens.

 Grab some on Amazon!

These pens are awesome. The variety of colors is great and I love that it's a two pack. They will make a lot of art with me. The ink quality is great. I give them 4 out of 5 stars. If they had rubber grips to protect my fingers, they would definitely be a 5 star product for me. I would recommend them for anyone who likes to draw or write with pretty colors.
