Hey! Sorry I haven't blogged in while because of the holidays, but I'll work on that! I hope your winter vacation was as good as mine! For Christmas cards this year, instead of the regular cards with photos or "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Holidays", I seized the moment and decided to recycle! Taking old cards from the past years, I cut the backs off and wrote something on the back of the front page.




While digging around in my grandparent's basement, I discovered a set of mirrored outlet covers. One is a light switch cover, and the other is for a regular outlet. Fortunately, I need a set of these at the moment, and so I can put these to good use. Hopefully I will be able to get more for the other sockets in my room!







On the radio I heard that the skinny jean trend will be out by 2014. Wear out your skinny jeans as much as you can and be prepared for the upcoming flare jeans fad. Here are some outfit ideas with flare jeans.
