    Several years ago, when my sister was in elementary school, she went through a crocheting phase. I don’t remember where she picked it up, just that she was pretty into it for a few years. At one point I asked her to make me a scarf, but she said that it would take several hours…

    Sometimes I think people who read Pin Possible assume I have a lot of talent when it comes to creating crafts. Unfortunately, my last couple of projects would probably lead them to believe otherwise, but this week I’ve tried to bounce back with some woodwork. I’m a huge fan of geometric jewelry. I like the…

    When I was a child, my cousin and I used to pretend to be spies. We would hide notes to each other in books and spend too much money on spy equipment toys. Too many pens that doubled as hiding places and fake spyglasses could be found all over my house. Several years have passed,…

    Until a couple weeks ago, I had never been thrifting. My experience buying from second-hand stores was limited to running to Goodwill to pick up clothes for a costume and working at the Habitat ReStore as a volunteer. For this Pin Possible, I decided that a trip to the thrift store would be perfect for…

    Three summers ago, I did an internship at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. I enjoyed doing research, spending time working on my tan and meeting with the faculty and students at the school. It’s also the first time I noticed how popular longboarding had become. I saw several people longboard along the…

    Growing up in a Catholic family, Easter was always a big deal. However, my childhood did not include visits from the Easter bunny or very many Easter egg hunts. In fact, my one memory of an Easter egg hunt consists of staring down an alligator on a lake before being thrown into a crowd of…

    For those who have read my Macchiatos and Neuroscience blog, it should come as no surprise that I love coffee. By extension that also means I’ve had my fair share of Starbucks drinks. Surprisingly, my favorite drink from the chain contains no coffee in it — just a lot of chocolate: the Double Chocolaty Chip…

    One of my favorite things to do is walk down the home decor sections of stores. It’s always fun to look at the canvas prints and other interesting wall accent pieces, especially the string art pieces, but it’s one of those projects that’s meant to look like you created it yourself. I figured, why shouldn’t…

      As a college student and as a journalist, I consume entirely too many calories drinking coffee and tea. I love drinking coffee and tea out of cute mugs, and my Instagram feed probably enjoys them as well. But, I cannot stomach paying $12 for one of Anthropologie’s adorable mugs. Plus, I can never find…
