10 Iconic pieces from Star Wars I would love to own!




If you guys didn't know, I love Star Wars! I did another post related to Star wars here if you want to check it out. So with Star Wars day (which was on May 4th), I decided to show you guys 10 pieces from the Star Wars Franchise I would love to own!  So here they are :)

1. Han Solo DL-44 Blaster

This is an awesome rustic looking blaster that Han Solo uses in a lot of the movies. It just seems so powerful to me! And of course Han Solo uses it (who is one of my favorite characters in the whole series) so it has to be at least pretty awesome, right? Also then I could just blast my enemies out of existence. Which would be pretty amazing.

2. A Light-Saber!


This is the mystical weapon used by the Jedi in the series. It is also called a "light sword" but really a light -saber sounds so much better. Don't you agree?  Its powers seriously never cease to amaze me. The Jedi (who are the best little group of strawberries ever) have always used this if they have a weapon at all and it is a very very important weapon in the movies. It would be amazing if I had one. I could just scare everyone into doing my bidding *laughs evilly*. I would probably want one of those awesome double sided ones like Darth Maul has so that I can do a double hit. The thing is I would probably wouldn't be able to use it because I'm not very focused and am no Jedi (though I would love to be). So I might have to get lessons but it would still be amazing.

3. The Death Star

IT WOULD BE SO AMAZING. Then I could literally blow up earth if I wanted (though never fear I would never do that, well if you behave). This is the thing that pretty much started a lot of Luke's troubles and is the Empire's "secret weapon" in the first movie.  I could pretty much just take over the world because everyone would be afraid to die. Though of course I would let all of my friends, family, you guys, and fellow star wars geeks live in my palace. *Starts thinking up what my palace would look like*

4. Darth Vader Outfit

 This would be like the most amazing Halloween costume ever. I'm not talking about the cheapo plastic ones either. I'm talking about the real thing. With the breathing thing and talking and all of it. I would just sound so ominous and scary. Invaluable  (which is an awesome sight that sells movie collectibles and props) is actually selling a test production piece with when I saw I thought it was amazing! And something I would love to have! They are also selling some other awesome movie props as well that you can find here

 

5. The Millennium Falcon 

This is the legendary space ship owned by the one and only Han Solo.  As Rey said it really is "a piece of junk" but it just goes through so much! It is there from the beginning to the end and somehow it is not in smithereens. How that happens? I have absolutely no idea. 

6. BB-8

When I saw this thing for the first time I was amazed. How in the world did this weirdo droid just move and not fall on it's face? Me and my dad (who has loved star wars like forever!) even had a discussion about it.  So I decided it must be magnetic. But I mean it just looks so cool! With all of the moving around I just looks so jerky. If I actually did have one I would would probably make it a butler and put a little suit on it. That would just be so cute! It probably would drop everything but whatever.

7. R2-D2

This little guy saved so many characters and went through so much in the movies and I would love to have him at my side. He served a queen, Luke, and a bunch of other people. Plus if I did have him I cold get him to hack into everything with would be fun. Well for me. Then I could find out all of your little secrets *laughs evilly again*. 

8. C-3PO

And this is the worrying, Anakin-made droid that always goes with R2-D2. He is fluent in like ten bezillion languages. So if I went anywhere I could just make him translate everything. Which would be so much easier then actually trying to learn the language.  Also he would probably end up saving my life one time or another since he worries so much and he is a droid. 

9.X-wing starfighter

I have always been interested in birds and sometimes I really wish I could fly like them. Something like an air plane (with I very rarely go on anyway) does not count because you just sit in a seat and can sometimes see out but can't really feel the excitement of flying! But if I had a starfigher I could really fly around with me being in complete control. I could go wherever I wanted! It might be hard to find fuel though. Since you know not many people use them to get around nowadays (or any day for that matter). 

10. Rey's Staff

While most of the people in the star wars movies have light-sabers or gun type things Rey (who is a new character introduced in The Force Awakens) actually has a staff  with I think is very cool just because she uses it so amazingly! As I was reading about Rey (who is also one of my favorite characters in the movies) most people say it is just a regular staff that she has to use because of poverty an have no great power. So the staff isn't that special but she just looks so commanding in those pictures where she has the staff I couldn't resist. I mean who doesn't want to look commanding?

Why do I sound so evil in this post? No seriously I want to know because I have no idea. Did you like this post? Do you like star wars? What iconic pieces from star wars would you love to own? Why? Should I do more star wars/movie related posts? Would you like to have any of the items above? Why?

4 gift ideas for that special mom in your life for Mother's Day for lest then 10$ dollars



Mothers day is very fast approaching and lots of people are scrambling to go get presents last minute (I can relate). So to help all of you guys I have 4 easy affordable gift ideas. So let's get started!


A Nice card

This is a perfect gift and doesn't cost you anything (unless you get a really expensive card but I recommend making one yourself). This is what I am doing for my mom (don't tell her *shush*) and if you just want to make a quick gift then this is the one for you. Here are some tips when making a card:

-Do it from the heart.
-Say how amzing the person is (if they are awesome of course).
-Say why that person is so amazing.
-Make it colorful!
-Put a little art on it.



A Small Bag

Every girl needs a bag one time or another and so this is a nice little accessory you can give someone. You can find things like this at places like target. 


Nail Polish

This is kind of a standard gift and though it can be a little more expensive then the ones above. Pretty much every women has some on hand most of the time *raises hand*. You can also find this at target or Wallgreens or stores like that for pretty cheap. 

Perfume!

This is probably the most expensive of all of them (except for the nail polish, those might be equal). But it is also the fanciest. I quite like perfume because (though then again I am not a mom) I just love smelling nice. It makes me feel nice. My sister sometimes make perfume with just flowers and other stuff she fins in the yard with I think is very cool. 


What are you doing for Mothers Day? Are you getting anyone anything? What is it? What ares some of your Gift ideas? Do you like Mothers Day? Do you usually celebrate it? Do you agree with my ideas?

BIBPC #2 Category 5

OK I just want to start off this post with saying how sorry I am to all of my teammates in team goldfinch. I haven't been entering photos for the contest and I've been lagging behind. 

OK now that I have that off my back lets get started with the actually happy post! The 5th category for BIBPC (with you can find out more about here) is flowers! When I saw this category I was like "This is my jam!" and started dancing. I am not kidding. I love taking photos of flowers. I even did a flower picture for the first category of the contest. I think why is because they are just so pretty! I mean how can you not take a photos of that? So after going through all of my bezillion (yes that is a number by the way!) picture of flowers I decided on this one.


Story behind Photo: When I was in Marfa (with you can out more about here) over spring break I went hiking at a beautiful dessert (with you can find out more about here). So when we were walking around my mom saw this amazing flower behind a rock and I snapped a shot. Isn't it just so pretty!?  I love how vibrant the colors are. 


Do you like the picture? Why? What is your favorite type of flower? Have you read my Marfa posts? Should I do more photography posts? Are you participating in BIBPC? If what team are you in? And what category have you liked the best? For all of my entries on this contest which one do you think is the best (you can find my other two entries here and here)?
