Another Holiday Wish

I know I already did this, but I love this photo from snapatorium on flickr.

Merry Christmas

I should be posting more, but it's a busy time of year for many reasons.
I will be posting more after the holidays.

I hope that you enjoy your holidays and time off and eat delicious food and lots of chocolates and egg nog!

Webcam Dump

Sometimes you get bored and too lazy to take out the good camera.



I found this granny square like shawl while going through my old room at my parents' house. I'm in love with it.



I made tacos a few nights ago and I usually eat four, but that night I needed five!



When I tease my hair I have to do it really big, then reign it in. I thought it looked a little Peggy Bundy like so I had to put on some leopard.



Right after that photo, I cut my bangs, did my makeup, and fixed my hair.

That's all I got for now.

First Snowfall

It's here! The first snowfall. It's snowed before, but it never stayed on the ground. There are even icicles on the balcony!







skirt - thrift
tank - probably walmart or something like that
top - joe fresh

I love the print of this copped top. I dont wear it as much as I should. It also has this chunky gold zipper on the back. Love!

I've cleaned the house by 9am, need to do laundry, go to the post office to buy stamps for Christmas cards, and return my library books. When I get home, I'm going to crochet until bed time.

Just what I need

Last night I went out with my husband to see Glen Matlock.



He's the guy on the far left. That photo is of the Sex Pistols.

I had a little too much fun for a Tuesday night, but I did not have to leave the house today.

After a night like that, I really crave greasy food. I was really craving a big mac combo today, reallllly bad. My husband called me just before noon and said he was going to come home for lunch and he was thinking about buying mcdonalds. I was so happy!



So now I'm feeling better and I'm just waiting until the laundry room is open again.

Cape Time!

I bought this cape last year at Target and it took that long for me to feel comfortable enough to wear it out of the house.

Etsy Finds

I like to browser shop.
I like diy/handmade items.
I decided to merge the two and look through the pages of Etsy to find items that I like and want to share with you.

The first store I found is Moon Raven Designs.
I'm a big anatomy fan, so when I saw all of the skull and bones jewelery, I got excited.







Feel free to buy any of these items and send them my way!

In Response

I am responding to a comment left on my last post as it is from someone in my city and that means I might know them, and they clearly don't know me.

it's easy to imagine not buying anything in months if you live with someone who takes care of you. most of us aren't in this situation.

I dont live with someone who takes care of me.
I live with my husband.
My husband works long hours and most times through the weekend.
He is not my sugar daddy who is paying for all my things so that I don't have to use my debit card.
Do I have clothes to wear? Yes.
Do I have a roof over my head? Yes.
Do I have food to eat daily? Yes.
Do I help clean the house, run errands, cook, do laundry, and do things for my husband and I because he is busy with work? Yes.



And, as Jaya said, I was talking about buying wants, not needs.
You need clothes and shoes, but do you need a new dress every week?? No.

I also said "You dont want to be 30 and have to live at home or not be able to buy food", referring to people who are doing it on their own. So if you dont have 'someone taking care of you' you should go back and read my advice cause it is for you.

Holiday Colours

It's officially the Holiday season.
This means lots of metallics and royal colours.










blazer - thrift
dress - h&m
tights - walmart clearence
shoes - ebay
purse - self made

I havent used my credit card or debit card in months.
Can you imagine not buying ONE SINGLE THING in months??
I have clothes that are years old and don't fit right, I'm so sick of everything, and I can't do a thing about it.
I'm just dealing with it. It sounds ridiculous, but I used to go shopping almost daily. I cant even tell you the last time I went to a thrift store.

ADVICE: For all the young girls out there: Dont spend money you dont have for clothes and accessories. Keep you credit card balance at zero. You dont want to be 30 and have to live at home or not be able to buy food cause you have to pay off clothes that you bought years beforehand and probably dont wear or even own anymore.
