<br />
Life is a stressful-pushing-pushing-pushing stream of events. Stress. That's the thing that can motivate us to do more than is even necessary. That can have both positive and negative benefits but sometimes we just need to take a <i>break.</i><br />
<i>So, </i>I would like to take this opportunity of this snow storm, "Nemo" to unwind. I can hang out with my boyfriend, I can hang out with my dog. I can watch snow flurries go by the window. I can watch a movie or read a book that I usually wouldn't have time to watch. I can not work with confidence that it's OK because the store is closed anyways.<br />
I want to challenge you all to do the same. Paint your nails, build a snowman, sleep, snuggle with somebody. Drink a glass of wine, or fill that cute mug you got for Christmas with some gourmet hot coco, or tea. mmm. Enjoy your day off-<br />
Xoxo<br />

<span class="huge bqQuoteLink" style="background-color: #e6e6e6; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/j/jackiekenn404048.html" style="border: 0px; color: black; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: initial;" title="view quote">One must not let oneself be overwhelmed by sadness.</a></span><span style="background-color: #e6e6e6; font-size: 16px;"> - Jackie O. </span></blockquote>
Strength is not impossible to find in the face of darkness. The nation has been overwhelmed with senseless killings, but unfortunately this is not a new concept. Sometimes the media makes us <i>feel</i> as though things are changing for the worse, and that things <i>used </i>to be better. Simply put, this is not true- at least on the big scale. Human rights awareness is growing, homicide rates are going down.<br />However, we still want answers. We want to know why people are being senselessly murdered, and why in such a rich country, are our neighbors losing their homes that they worked so hard to build. <i>WHY? </i>I don't have the answer. There is not one single answer. It's a compilation of problems that may be solved but may not ever be solved. So what do we do? Here's my answer for now, for each individual person. To survive, you must at least find one source of <u>strength.</u><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Mental Strength</b>- Push negativity away with <b>positive thought</b>. Google <b>inspirational quotes</b> if you have to. </li>
<li><b>Mind- Body Strength-</b> Good <b>health</b>, <b>nutrition</b>, working out, <b>learning</b> about yourself through <b>physical limits</b> and<b> pushing yourself</b>.</li>
<li><b>Spiritual Strength- Help</b> others. Look to god, or to the power inside of yourself. <b>Pray</b>. Even if you don't believe in god- pray to your inner self for the strength to push forward. <b>Meditate</b>. Find a <b>passion</b>. <b>Love. </b></li>
<li><b>Family and Community- </b>Look to your friends, family and <b>community</b> for support. Support them, bond with them. It's incredible the effects of bonding can have. Meet up with old <b>friends</b>, call your <b>mother</b>, help out at the school. In other-words, "<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">apprivoiser", (as in Le Petit Prince) : create important bonds with people. </span></li>
</ul>

<img src="http://capitalrealtynetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thank-you.jpg" /></div>
With the passing of the holiday season, it's time to acknowledge people for the kind things that they have done for you. The holidays are soo busy and stressful, so you may keep putting thank yous on your to-do list. <b>Don't.</b> Let me reiterate. The holidays are soo busy and stressful AND these people took time out of their busy lives to do something special <b>FOR YOU</b>! So let them know how much you appreciate it! Whether it's a gift or an invitation to Christmas dinner, send a <b>HANDWRITTEN </b>note. Please do not send an email. They didn't just email you a picture of dinner, they spend all day cooking it.<br />
<div>
Tips</div>
<div>
* <b>Hand-write</b> your notes</div>
<div>
* <b>Organize.</b> Make a list of everybody you need to write, what they did for you, and their addresses. </div>
<div>
* If they gave you a gift, <b>name </b>the gift, and <b>how you have used i</b>t or plan to use it. (Emily Post taught me this!! It shows that you care. ( http://www.emilypost.com/) </div>
<div>
* Send your notes within a month of the date you received the kind act, preferably <b>within 2-weeks or sooner. </b></div>
<div>

As much as we love giving special gifts to people that are in our immediate social circle such as friends, and siblings, this can also be a time to give something special to somebody that may not be as fortunate.<br />
Consider Donating or Lending a Hand at/to your local homeless shelters, food pantry's, Salvation armys and more! Our neighbors and friends are what bring us happiness so lets help them out as well!!<br />

It's a great online shop that has a ton of my favorite brands at great prices ( Everything from Hunter to Vinyard Vines to Godiva)! Whats not to love!? To check it out head over to http://www.dariensport.com ... I'm sure there will be something you will fall in love with too!<br />
<br />
Wait, did I mention that they feature one of my favorite brands of all time? They Have a Specific section for Lilly Pulitzer!! Eeeek!! If you don't know about Lilly (How could you not!?) I will fill you in! Lilly was an incredible little woman who started an amazing little juice stand in 1959. My favorite person, the lovely style icon Jackie O even wore her dresses! Lilly had big dreams about design, and taking inspiration from the natural colors of the fruit, she began an amazing brand that still exists today! They design the cutest shift dresses, planners, accessories and more!<br />
<br />
Now that we have our little history lesson out of the way... Let me give you the details on my favorite item this season and why you should head over to www.dariensport.com and buy it for yourself or your BFF (or both!) !!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Lilly Pulitzer Alexis Coat</b></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisdPZPCm7-jpYdBs9RfutSqBzzg1NDdqTuL9NYRUjBEFWp5CkV3qNFKsxrUESGpL7l3ZUWoYeyt4StLDcd3HEpdGC7w4GKFBsyuvf91FmpgG_P15EYfWnAKAdjVjad3pCPmKui8RFgrMWb/s1600/lillyalexiscoat.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisdPZPCm7-jpYdBs9RfutSqBzzg1NDdqTuL9NYRUjBEFWp5CkV3qNFKsxrUESGpL7l3ZUWoYeyt4StLDcd3HEpdGC7w4GKFBsyuvf91FmpgG_P15EYfWnAKAdjVjad3pCPmKui8RFgrMWb/s320/lillyalexiscoat.JPG" width="203" /></a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm pretty sure it goes without saying how adorable this coat is! What is there not to LOVE about it!? First of all, the feminine dress length will slim out your body, allowing you to look and feel like a supermodel! The ruffles on the trim are to die for, and the self adjusting belt tie with flatter that tiny little waist of yours! Simply put, this is the PERFECT coat for all of your holiday parties. Put it over your favorite dress, add some accessories and you are in perfect shape! Everybody will be telling you how much they LOVE your coat and how much they WANT it when you arrive! When somebody offers to take your coat, you may not even want to take it off- it's just too perfect! So for those holiday parties, strolls down main street and hot coco dates, here's exactly what to wear. You need the link? Find it <a href="http://www.dariensport.com/products/Lilly-Pulitzer-Alexis-Coat.html">HERE</a>! How much do you love this coat!?</div>

She had very inspiring messages, that if you <b>work hard</b>, and <b>produce</b>, you can make your dreams come true. She pointed out the harsh truth that many people can make pretty drawings on paper, but the difference is being able to actually <b>execute</b> the design. The business world is very <b>competitive</b> and you need to be able to <b>set yourself apart</b>. A suggestion she gave was marketing yourself in a <b>creative</b> way, instead of being stuffy on paper. If you are a <span style="color: lime;">Lime Green </span>girl, then send in your resume on <span style="color: lime;">Lime Green</span> paper, it will set you apart from every other piece of white paper on the desk.<br />
She started into fashion at a young age, sewing a dress from a pattern for her 8th birthday, traveling Europe as a preteen, and attending design school. She now has created a very successful business for herself. She creates incredible beautiful and <b>unique</b> wedding gowns covered in Swarvoski crystals. Her main clientele are mainly soon to- be Gypsie brides who want outstanding, over the top, loaded with bling gowns. She once even had lights wired into a gown, and has even sold a baby dress covered in glass mirrors! She says that her and her "Blingettes" are willing to bling anything... they have even "blinged" toilet paper. Their favorite thing to bling? She responded with, "Baby things!" She even had a table on display with a baby outfit, baby shoes, and a pacifier, all covered in stones! Beyond adorable!<br />

Today I am going to drop my Statistics class. It's been very stressful for me, because I feel badly about it. It took up so much time and money already that it's difficult to just let it go and move on. But I did get extra help and I still did FAIL my exam. The truth? My learning style just clashed with the teaching style. But I've realized .... It HAPPENS.<br />
<br />
So here's a little inspiration for all of you... Don't get stressed about small things, get happy about other opportunities I dropped my math class = more time to spend on other classes = higher GPA. Always look for the brighter side, because as the catchy motto says, "You only live once" . It's true. Be happy, because you can't relieve these days again, once they pass, they are gone. Every moment is fleeting, so make sure that you are happy as you can possibly be.<br />
<br />
<br />
Keep calm, and keep loving life.... :)<br />
<br />

At first I thought that I would have to throw them away. However, with Christmas approaching I did not want to spend hundreds of dollars buying new jeans (I just got one new pair at work anyways). So I thought of a solution: stitching the holes back together. Since no fabric had been lost in the rip, it was an easy fix.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8V6kmvJkisjdWwc85nDn2y0WaNqvqTNBirsJZbRWRMmV9oJHZYQeuBSehyPwiddjGN10hlSsy7tClkAniD5fdCtxdM_Mv5l6WGJupc_8lrPlylNnVM2c8mD5Q5XJkKpkdkEwTKy8jKdQR/s1600/1104121950.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8V6kmvJkisjdWwc85nDn2y0WaNqvqTNBirsJZbRWRMmV9oJHZYQeuBSehyPwiddjGN10hlSsy7tClkAniD5fdCtxdM_Mv5l6WGJupc_8lrPlylNnVM2c8mD5Q5XJkKpkdkEwTKy8jKdQR/s320/1104121950.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
Here's how you can fix tears in your favorite clothes (basic fix):<br />
<br />
Materials: Sewing needle, Thread close to the color of your fabric, Damaged clothing<br />
Tip: You can buy small sewing kits at Walmart and similar stores for under $5<br />
<br />
1. Turn your clothing item <b>inside out</b>, and lay it so that the clothing is flat and that both sides of the tear line up.<br />
2. <b>Thread</b> your needle by sticking an end of thread through the hole at the top <br />
3. Tie a <b>small knot</b> at the far end. Loop the end of the thread around the sharp end of the needle twice, pull it down past the eye of the needle, and a loop will form, tighten that into a knot.<br />
4. <b>Pinch the fabric</b> on both sides of the tear together, and stick the needle through the fabric all of the way and back up.<br />
5. Sew in a <b>zigzag</b> shape pattern<br />
6. When finished, tie another <b>knot at the end</b>!<br />
<br />

He and his always tease me about how I don't cook, and I've decided to surprise him and cook him something! I've decided on a cute easy menu!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;"><u>Roasted Pumpkin Seeds!</u></span> We are planning on carving Pumpkins in the spirit of Halloween, so what better than to make use of the seeds! The way I make them: Clean off the "pumpkin guts", toss the seeds in your favorite oil, spread them out flat onto a cookie sheet, sprinkle on some salt, and bake for about 45 minutes at about 325 degrees! Make sure that they are golden brown so that they are perfectly crunchy! The perfect thing to snack on!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;"><u>Chicken Parm</u>!</span> I make this my own way! I bread the chicken breast, and cook it over the stove top. I add in the tomato sauce and cheese towards the end!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;"><u>Baked Stuffed Potatoes!</u> </span>I am obsessed with these! You basically bake the potatoes, scoop out the insides, mash them with sour cream and other great stuff, and then spoon the mash back into the shell. AMAZING!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;"><u>Side Cesar Salad and Italian Bread!</u> </span>Cesar is the easiest salad to make! Maybe someday I will learn to make Italian bread, but for now I will be picking it up at the market!<br />
<br />
<u><span style="color: orange;">Halloween Cupcakes!</span></u> I'm not sure what type of critters that I will make but I'm considering spiders! I saw this on Pinterest and they have candy corn fangs, and licorice legs. They are really adorable!<br />
<br />
I'll post some pictures when it happens! Hope this gives you some inspiration!<br />
<br />
XoXo<br />

So I decided to take it upon myself to do some research on the subject. Ingrown hairs are caused by a shaved hair reentering the follicle, while razor bumps are caused by shaved hair entering a nearby follicle. So with those interesting facts in mind, how do we prevent razor burn?<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Exfoliate</b>- Scrub your legs with a loofah and exfoliating body wash. I use Up and Up exfoliating body wash with pomegranate seeds. It can be found at Target for a great price and comes in amazing smelling flavors!</li>
<li><b>Be Patient</b>- Wait 20 minutes before shaving in the shower.</li>
<li><b>Use Quality</b>- Shaving cream, not body wash or soap! Shaving cream is made to protect your skin.</li>
<li><b>Shave with-</b> the Grain of hair</li>
<li><b>Moisturize-</b> with preferably unscented moisturizer after shaving</li>
<li><b>Always Replace- </b>your razor head when it gets dull.</li>
</ol>
<div>
These tips are gender-neutral so if your guy friend complains of razor burn on his face, these tips also apply! Try this out and let me know if your legs and guys face feel extra soft and smooth! </div>

Not only did they always involve being a princess, but also they were about a struggle to become a princess. My 6-7-8 year old self always started out as a peasant, or an orphan, or a maid of a castle who eventually became a princess. The funny thing was, I always used sneaky tactics, battled soldiers, and manipulated princes, but never once was I rescued by a prince. I guess that's not what Disney and fairy tales really taught girls... Cinderella had to find a way to get dressed for the ball, and escape from her evil step mother to try on the glass slipper. The prince wasn't the one to break her out of there, she did, by dreaming. I think this is what I modeled my young self-made fairy tales out of. My point is, you can achieve anything on your own, if you want it. My HHS senior quote is still one of my favorite quotes today:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Tahoma;"><b>"Do not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."</b></span></blockquote>
I leave that up to you to think about.<br />
