DIY Pencil Holder

School is back. Yippee! Well, not really. Even though I lack the enthusiasm for going back to school, I don't mind having little projects helping me organize my school supplies and my room.

I decided to create matching pencil holder out of aluminium cans, but I only had one can at the moment.

After being throroughly washed in the dishwasher, I used a hot glue gun to cover the sharp edge of the cans.

After allowing the glue to cool, I painted the cans with acrylic paint. I used painter's tape to create nice, straight lines. Let dry and fill with school supplies.

Is feminism misandry?

I am a feminist.
In today's world that word has lost its meaning because of extremist "feminists" who forgot that feminists fight for the equality of the sexes. But the rest of us only want ALL to be treated EQUALLY in the workforce, home and society.
I hate socially mandated gender roles because they dictate what we all should do even though it might not be something we agree with or want. Recently I was the "victim" of bullying caused by this because I openly disagreed with the action of dividing tasks between my male and female peers. I participated in the "manly stuff" that was meant for the males to do, even though I and many of my female peers were just as capable or even more experienced with this.
I believe that we should not limit our actions to those that are acceptable for our gender, but to those that we are capable of doing. With this I mean that if a guy wishes to bake, who are we to stop him? And if a girl wants to chop wood, why should we stop her?

DIY Candle Roundup

It's already December and when I wake up for school it's still dark and I HATE it. I don't think that we were meant to be waking up before the sun rises. Beside that, it gets dark really fast as well and sometimes, I am not even home from school when it's pitch black. What is better that lighting a candle and enjoying its light? Okay, maybe light a fireplace fire, but besides that... Nothing!
