I realized for a while that a lot of my posts have been kind of shallow. So going along with that theme, I am in the process of making a "look book." Most the Look Books are a collaboration of ensembles you like so that you can always look stylish. My purpose though is to look reasonably nice while taking little to no time doing so. I put a few outfits together and set up my computer and took a few shots with the Photobooth program. So here are a few shots. haha I had to sit funny so that I could fit everything in and to get the shoes in too. bahahaha

After recently happening on the site, www.beforeidieiwantto.com I have been thinking of goals I wish to accomplish long term and short term. For instance a longer short term goal I have is not to buy a single article of clothing or shoes for an entire year. I would truly like to be content with the things I have and stop buying into the mindset that what I have isn't good enough or that I will become a better me with newer things. The only exceptions are: undies and socks... these are non negotiables, or perhaps if I am in a wedding and need to buy specific attire or something.

(oh and this is Priscila's hand) STEP 3: Mix 1 package of freezer pectin and 1 cup sugar STEP 4: Stir your sugar mixture with your strawberries for 3 minutes. STEP 5: Fill wide mouthed straight mason jars with jam, while leaving a 1/2 inch headspace at the top. (it will expand in the freezer) STEP 6: Label the jars for the freezer or fridge. The jam will last about a month in the fridge but a year in the freezer. STEP 7: Enjoy! the end.
