Peter Pan- green dress (or long coat), dark green leggings(or tights), green slouch hat(or beanie), red feather to put in hat, brown belt, light brown ankle boots
Tinker Bell- sleeveless green shirt & green shorts (or sleeveless green dress), green ballet flats(or converse), put hair in bun & tie w/ yarn, body glitter would be a nice touch

Valentines

I remember the days of being younger & having to bring Valentines for my friends, teachers, and even whole classes. Now I give Valentine's to my parents work, friends, & neighbors. My choice of Valentine's tend to be: Brownies Mini Cupcakes (red velvet w/ home-made cream cheese frosting) -frosting ingregdients: cream cheese, marshmello fluff, powdered sugar [this frosting will harden a little over night, eliminating the frosting mess of stacking cupcakes] Mini Cookies (heart shaped sugar cookies w/ red or pink sprinkles) *I personally like mini foods because you get bite size portions & you can make more out of the same amount of ingredients than regular size portions. Mini Red, Pink, or White Roses (from gas stations) These are all fairly inexspensive and things people tend to enjoy. Another good thing about little gifts is that youa can make gift bags for people filled with different things or for people you don't know that well it's just a li...

Roommate Series: Going Green

One of my roommates is pretty "go green", save the earth, eco-friendly and so I started recalling some of the many videos I have seen about clever uses for things or life hacks reusable items. Even without a market where you can bring your own containers, fill them, and pay by weight (bulk bin places) you can still make a few changes. There are other changes that can be made like those reusable menstrual cups for women to reduce waste from tampons or pads but in my opinion, that's not as easy of a change to make. Here are some of the easier ones I've found that require a little effort but will save particularly on plastic, some can even save you money in the long run. Another perk with making your own is that the chemicals used are what you put in them so you can make them more natural if that's also a goal for you. If you are more of a visual person there are links to videos at the bottom. There are so many videos out there but here are a few that I reference. ...

Christmas Shopping

This time of year most people are wondering what to get people for christmas, here are some tips to aid in the gift giving 1. Don't wait until the last minute, if you find something you think someone will like in jan get it and save it until christmas 2. Be practical, dont get a gift for someone just to give them something because they typically won't use/ wear it. ex. fill up their gas tank, give them money to pay a bill, take them on a spa day 3. Personalize, no one wants some generic gift that you give to everyone ex. if you're artistic write them a song, or a poem, paint/ draw a picure. Remember their favorite colors & what they like. 4. Don't be so commercial & save a shopping trip by making gifts that people will cherish, they will appreciate that you spent the time ex. pot holders, afghans, quilts, doilies, table cloths, coasters 5. Instead of giving people presents give them your presence, they will find you more valuable than any gift you buy e...
