Things I expect, but can't deliver.

2012-01-25T11:15:00.000-08:00

I sometimes expect my body to be able to do things that it can not physically do. For instance, this week I expected to be able to run two miles, walk two miles, attend Wednesday and Friday practice, do 900 hundred crunches, and 900 leg lifts, weight training, 20 minutes worth of planks, and at least 70 push ups. No. "NO!" my body said. It rebelled. Its said "No, if you do that, I am going to give you multiple shin splints, I am going to make your knees hurt so bad that you think you can't walk. I'm going to make your abs so sore it feels like you have a knot in your stomach. I'm going to make your arms so sore you can hardly use them, and your elbows will hurt."

So now I'm slowing this down. No more running. Just walking. Less planks, better weight training schedule. Taking all my sports vitamins. Possibly testing my joints out to make sure I don't have some sort of stupid disease. Icing, resting.

So even though my team has practice tonight, and my rest day should be tomorrow, I'm making it today. Because when your body DEMANDS a break, you give it a break. You don't worry about how your team with think you're a sissy. You worry about YOURSELF. You worry about not being able to skate EVER. AGAIN.

My point is this, if you're working out, work out for you. Don't work out for others, and don't expect yourself do to what others can do.

LO<3ED

P.S.huh. Practice was canceled. It all works out then.

I LOVE BOOBIES! (Or not?)

2012-01-13T10:12:00.001-08:00

Apparently the time has come to 'raise breast cancer awareness'. This involves posting statuses on face book to confuse males, and not tell them what is going on. MEN GET BREAST CANCER TOO! EQUAL RIGHTS FOR MEN! ;)
Personally, I dislike the way people raise 'awareness' for breast cancer. I LOVE BOOBIES! How about "Women are beautiful"? If someone came up to me and told me they loved my Boobs, I would freak out. Did you know that Boobies is defined as a stupid or childish person?

Maybe I would feel differently about it if I actually had breast cancer, but for right now, I feel that many campaigns such as this are degrading to women.
Anyway, I hope this post deeply offended you. Please feel free to harass me in the comment section below.

Lately I've been admiring outfits that are simple, but have one BANG! accessory. For instance, jeans, t-shirt, brown belt, brown shoes, TIGER! It just kind of...jumps out to you? Har har har. I made a punny.

It felt pretty great wearing stinky clothes and using my self timer again.

L<3VED. -And typing that. :)

I am so confused, and just not understanding this at all. (Skating stuff)

2011-12-12T21:27:00.000-08:00

I am so confused. I don't think I was ever in this much pain before I started really trying to work out and eat healthier. I didn't constantly feel like I'm about to fall over because my knees felt like they were locking up. I didn't feel like I was void of energy. I didn't have shin splints. I didn't feel like someone was sewing through my legs with a long needle. I didn't have to limp because my foot hurt.

What is wrong with me?

I thought I was supposed to feel GOOD. I thought I would be energized, and ready to face any challenge.

The other day I pulled a muscles, because I 'stood up too fast'.

I keep getting colds.

And its not like I'm starving myself or anything. I feel like every time I eat, I eat three meals. I don't constantly eat like I used to, maybe I should go back to that...but its hard when I'm not actually home that much. Maybe I should start sleeping more. I hate that I'm getting to bed late, yet instinctively getting up early. When I try to go to sleep, it takes a few hours. I'm still getting off my nyquil...from being sick for what feels like forever.

I feel like crying almost every day. (This may just be a teen age girl hormone problem ;) (It also may have something to do with doctor who, and all the stupid emotional paths I'm sent down while watching it)

I want to skate OUTSIDE again. But there's either not enough time to skate before work, or its dark by the time I'm off work. I miss summer. Its seriously cool that its cold an all, I just can't stand skating in the dark if I didn't start out in the day light. Also I scare myself. When I skate at night I usually call someone so I don't think of horror movie characters. I miss the out doors. I like it much more then indoor.

Anyway, just rambling. COMPLAINING of course. Feel like a wimp. Whatever. Later.

Hey guys guess what! You know that Etsy shop I've had for like....two years? Well I finally listed some items! It would be much appreciated if you would go check it out! Thanks loves!

The urg to dress in revealing clothes when fit.

2011-11-23T06:55:00.000-08:00

You guysssss! I'm in battle! I'm fighting a fit battle! Everyday I've been working out. I absolutely LOVE! my body, though it still needs work. The absolute hardest part of getting fit? Its not the weights, the shin splints, the running, the squats, the drills, the push ups, or skipping my favorite foods. Its knowing that once I have accomplished my goal, I wont be able to show my body off.

What frivolous scandal! How dare I! But its true.

I mean of course in some ways such as my BUFF arms I can show, but not my rock solid abs man! (I don't have either of these yet, but someday....:) I am sure they will look absolutely fab under my scrub shirt for swimming!

Gotta keep reminding myself that someday, I will be giving my body to somebody very special, and he will appreciate it more then the hundreds of people who would ever see it if I dressed immodestly.

Someone is missing.

2011-09-06T07:36:00.000-07:00

Missing is a strange thing. I miss Colorado more then I missed my own friends and family and house and church when I was there. I think I may even miss it more then my skates. Oh, by the way, I actually bought new skates. Cost me more then a used car. Use them as much as a can. <3 Keeps me distracted. Working for something.

I miss being awoken by a guy yelling something random. I miss the silly things the "dish pit" wrote on tape, and attached to...many things, but mostly the drink dispensers. Shivering in class because Colorado is kinda cold don't ya know? (Yes, I miss the minisotians) I miss sharing a time of praise and worship with nearly 200 other people.

I miss sitting an the side of a beautiful green grassed hill, just hanging out with my friends, listening to guitar. Listening to the piano when we were back at the hotel. (I nearly said 'home' just there) Laughing about Mathblue, commenting on THOR's clothing choices, conversing quietly with Reagan during class. Sleeping in a bunk bed with encouraging vandalism, sharing a room with one of my best friends. Trying to win the room inspection. Our room covered in balloons. :)

Riding in the bus! The chuck wagon was the best. "I think I can I think I can I think I can" up hills.

The park we went to. Jason. The good food. Walking down into Manitue. Visiting the cave, and graffiti falls. The custard shop. Huffing up a hill and thinking of how out of shape I am. The cool, fresh air. Hot drinks and cold water, peanut butter and jelly, always out. The food. Open forums.

Men being gentle men. Holding open doors, giving up seats, taking trays. Women being ladies, accepting it, thanking them.

People randomly bursting into song. The way Dr.Noebel pronounced words. All the teachers, especially Chuck Edwards, and Jeff Myers.

Out of breath at the top of the stairs, after practically jogging up four stories. Small group. The fire, always going. The cool chess pieces. The front porch. The back porch. Wal-mart trips.

Mya screaming "BILL BOARDS"

Natasha eating fruit. :) Angela being such a beautiful example, and a good friend-to everyone, not just me.

"Anyone from Texas?" (insert whoops, hollers, cheers, and hand gestures)

Candy from Hawaii. Courtesy of Mya. Chats about stereotypes, with Jessica and Seth. Singing A very Potter musical songs, also with Jess and Spleth.

"Frolicking upon the rocks" Making people try Ski, and acting insulted when they didn't like it.

I know, you probably stopped reading already. Thats fine. I guess its more for me, then for you. I think the only thing I don't miss, is the bathrooms and showers and waking up at 6:30.

P.S. Brents fedora, the bandanna crew, and those guys (I think they were staff) who always dressed like they were ready to be in a Tommy Hilfiger add.

My vacation was better then yours! :P

2011-05-30T18:15:00.000-07:00

So I'm back from my two week 'vacation' AKA two weeks of world view classes at Summit Ministries in Colorado. I reccomend it to you all, but as you can already tell, it will not help with your spelling.

Why yes indeed, it was the most average place I have ever been. LOVE!Me and Kat made a balloon wreath for our room in the old hotel. (which was awesome.)We went on a trip to focus on the family, where Narnia is.

Seth and Jessica are awesome Canadians.No cell phones in class! I'm so gansta.

Mya, the amazing from Hawii. (no joke) And since this is still a fashion blog thing.... The guy had an awesome hardy boys shirt style!This guy had a super sweet bowtie

And hair combs at fargos pizza! The best place for pizza in the entire world!

I also have a photo of a guy in a kilt some where....

2011-05-04T08:46:00.000-07:00

Laura Conrad style! heh. I wore this nearly a week ago, it was a Thursday. :D We went to an easter egg hunt so my little brother could get me some chocolate...erm, I mean, hunt for eggs! And we got free food, which is always a plus. Also, I got to pose around the churches lake! Boooyah!

I know, I'm so gala. Long dress, tiny clutch.

When will my reflection show, whoooooooooo I aaaaaaaam innnnnnnsideeeeeeee? heh.

dadadadadadaaaaa and now she's looking for a down town man, thats what I am.
So I started writing this post weeks ago, and I sort of forgot about it. I figured you guys might be getting bored though, so here's the outfit anyway.

I've been feeling great in all the outfits I've been wearing, I have just neglected to photograph them. But when I clean off my camera's memory card, maybe then.

L<3VED

I sometimes forget that the last shall be first.

2011-04-20T20:17:00.000-07:00

Really I'm talking about photos in my title, but I guess it works both ways. See the first photo is suppossed to be the last one, and it follows that the wrest are out of order. Originally this outfit came about by my need to hide my greasy hair. But I absolutly loved it!

I bought these new shoes today for 16 bucks at khols. They are a t-strap basket weavey things. :D

Thanks to Becca again for the lovely photos! And thanks to Jessler for the first two.

Its nice to feel like a pretty young lady sometimes, waiting at the 'train station' with my basket purse.

L<3VED

So sorry love.

2011-04-20T09:47:00.000-07:00

I know its been awhile. I usure you that I have still been dressing up, I just haven't been photographing enough. These outfit photos are from Sunday. I borrowed an amazing book from the library called 'the fashion file' from the costume directors of mad men. Every day now I wake up and say to myself "Who do you want to be today?" And everyday I've dressed so that I don't even worry that my outfit isn't "good enough" its weird that one small question each morning can change my whole view on my wardrobe.

I picked up some things during larg trash pick up. :D

Thanks to Becca for the photos!

I went with some friends to see Ballet Magnificat's 'deliver us' it was absolutly amazing! If they ever tour in your area, you should def. go. I almost cried during it. Seriously moving.

I had forgotten that the Nany Drew Fashion week that Ashley at http://www.bramblewoodfashion.blogspot.com/ and Natasha at http://natashaatkerson.blogspot.com/ are hosting! So I didn't realize what I was dressing for, until the photos were taken. My friend Katherine too the photos for me when we went exploring on the library roof. Exploring is a very Nancy sort of thing to do, don't you think?

She has some cool pink socks. So thats my day one outfit! I think I'll say this is vintage Nancy, about 50 % of my outfit was/is vintage. :) L<3VED

Her parents are captured, and are in the dungeons under the castle. Her brother became a soldier after he betrayed her family. She falls inlove with a tall dark and handsome boy from the trails, and together they rescue blah blah blah . That's some what the story haha. Mesa good at being creepy! L<3VED

Crushing a crush

2011-03-27T06:26:00.000-07:00

As Ian, our director paced back and forth across the church floor, a foreboding feeling grew inside of me. He talked about how relationships of the romantic type were not to be formed, how they had never, in the history of Smorgasbord, worked out. There were too many high emotions being relieved in the art we called drama. As he talked about all of these things, I knew for sure that I was in love with Logan.

So to get rid of my Crush on Jacob, I wrote a song about it! Its very good release.

You're so cute, like totally adorable
I feel like a total prep when I say:
I hope you're not gay.

You've had me going for years
conventionally disturbed
Perfect hair, beautiful face
beautifully slouched
Beautiful smile.

And now we're here together I still don't know
but its against the law.
I hate this girlish love romance
I hate this girlish crush romance

The only problem besides that one:
You haven't given me a glance.

So thats how my song for Bryce went. It was about 1 in the morn when I wrote it, but I'm sure you could tell. I did switch some things up when I rewrote this though.

So another thing I did to rid myself of my crush on Kyle, by writing in my journal about it!

But now we've come to the most important part, I prayed. I talked to God about Zach, and asked him for forgiveness for my lust, and to break this silly crush, and to give me and my crush a great friendship.

Then I told a very good friend about my crush on Jake, and asked her to pray about it for me also.

I hope my trying to make a comedy that still teaches about a serious subject worked!

See all those different names up there? How fast we go through crushes? We know nothing about our crushes. They're cute=young girl instantly "in love". Some people have many crushes at the same time! Usually, we're irrational and scared to talk to them. (Or is that just a shy kid thing? :)

The best thing that we can do about this, is pray, and ask someone else to pray for you, because its just nice to have that sort of support, and if the person you confide in is really your friend, she wont let the cat out of the bag, and she'll honesty pray for you.

I don't think I've ever asked a friend to pray for me about this, I usually just write a song, pray, and get over. But it really is nice to have friends pray for you.

Also, thank you all for the lovely comments! I'll try and get back to some fashion stuff for yah. Starting this blog has made me realize though, that I am much more then the clothes I wear.

L<3VED

So I opened a mask store.

2011-03-21T22:13:00.000-07:00

The home school formal in my city is going to be a masquerade! So naturally, being the capitalist that I am, I started making masks to sell.

You can view the masks here. Hope you like them! L<3VED

Your convictions?

2011-03-21T09:00:00.000-07:00

So I've been thinking lately about my ear piercings. I've been told me that getting my ears pierced was okay, yet when someone asks about why tattoos are 'wrong' the same verse that declares piercings a sin is used to defend the belief. I've been told that that verse is later in the bible covered by another verse that makes piercing okay, but nobody has ever shown me that verse.

I have friends who have ear piercings, and I have friends who are extremely against it.

I myself wanted earrings so badly for years, and when I finally got them, I barely wore them. I wear small studs sometimes. I'm allergic to lots of metal, so thats part of the reason. The other reason is, I can't decided whether it is right to keep them or not.

Also my Nana had them done for me, I don't want to hurt her feelings.

Will ya'll help me out? Will you just share your personal conviction of it in the comments, along with the bible verse that gave you that conviction? READ: If there is no bible verse attached, I usually think of the comment as invalid.

Thank you! L<3VED

Blog some stress away?

2011-03-18T07:24:00.000-07:00

Hi, I'm just here for stress relief today, feel free to click that X at the top right corner of the page. Or read on to impending doom :/

MASQERADE OPENS TOMORROW! AHHHHHHH I've only finished a few masks so far, and the backs look bad. What if they fall apart? What if people like them on line, and HATE them when they arrive!? What if the entire business is a FAILURE? I have SO MUCH paper mashaying to do. And I'm busy ALL day today (even right now...I shouldn't even be writing this) What if Mom wont take me to the fabric store to get feathers! I need to learn how to drive. How is 'my label' going to survive if everyone hates my product?

What and if. Perfectly fine on their own. Put them together, and they reign tyrannic.

Song I think of in time of need:

Even if the stars fell like rain

Even if tomorrow never came

Even if the world I know should crumble

Nothing's gonna stand in my way!

Even if the sun left the sky

Even if these tears never dry

Even if the mountains fall and tumble

If what's left of me is taken, I will not be shaken.

~ZoeGirl. Fun fact: I think the first CD I ever bought was a ZOEgirl one.

Versus that come to mind:

1 Corinthians 10:31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

And a verse that goes hand in hand with that:

Romans 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Thats right, you can't not like my masks if God is for them!

MUAHAHAHA

I feel better. Thanks blog :)

Lazing on a sunny afternoon (secrets to confess)

2011-03-12T15:42:00.000-08:00

Today I recieved a rejection letter from the theme park I have worked at for two years: Confession: I'm secretly happy, because I'll have a lot more time to devote to speed skating, designing, and dum dah dah! Helping with costumes for the play our town! So excited!

Confession: For years, I've secretly had a tiny desire to have cancer, because I want to be bald and have a bunch of different wigs to wear.
Confession: I am deathly afraid of toilets overflowing.
Confession: I feel a little sad inside when people say they love me, or call me awesome, because I feel like I don't deserve any love, and I'm not awesome. (which is true:)
Confession: Since Christmas, I've been having an affair with with my tri-pod. See the loving expression I give it?

Love you guys! L<3VED

Remember way back when...

2011-03-12T07:32:00.000-08:00

I took photos in public restrooms? Prepare for a blast from the past! Out doors ^^ In restroom vv

Ah, yes, this is what I wore to the 17th annual nerd convention. Where I plan to go again today and hang out with my Hom(school)ies! So fun :)

The home school convetion is always fun, because I get to see peopel I only see a few times a year, so I get to catch up with them. I also get to meat new people! Which I do, of course love.

All this me stuff aside now, I have a prayer request. As you have probably heard, Japan was hit by a giant wave. I know what it's called, don't worry, I just can't spell it. Anyway, some of my churches missionaries are MIA, they were hit pretty much right on. I think we all need to be praying for everyone over there, that God would let them know that He always has a plan, and that He is there with them.

If you have any specific missionaries, mission works, friends, groups that are getting together for relief effort, or family in Japan, just comment your request below, and I'll put together I prayer meeting post.

L<3VED

I always realize...

2011-03-10T21:32:00.000-08:00

How frumpy I look when I see my photos. Ah well, I still love my outfits!

It was a rainy day, so the yellow boots came out to play...and I ran them through mud and puddles. Good day.

I went to the hard ware store, which entails walking down my street, rushing over a neighbors lawn, climbing a tiny man made hill thing, strolling over this weird netting all over the land, taking great care not to slip and fall into a lake, acting natural as passing the lumber yard security gaurd, smiling at the employees who stare awkwardly when the force is used to open the door, and acting very interested in patios when someone gives an odd glance.

But its all worth it to smell ideas and creative materials. Its almost as good as having a craft store in walking distance. And I guess it is, just a different kind of craft.

L<3VED

Oh, and P.S. Home school convetion tomorrow! I'm so excited!

So how are you guys? And the kids? Oh, the kids are alright? Good good. Thats fine. Yah know, when I walk into the library (where these photos were taken) some people look at me like I'm crazy. But I don't get it. Its just my generation. Why can't they all just fade away?

I'll tell you a secret about these sun glasses: When I wear them, I can see for miles and miles!

I got this book from the library. Geniusness.

Now, just who do you think I've been listening to today? L<3ved

Its not about the 'ha' cha-ching cha-ching, aint about the "yeah" ba-bling ba-bling

Forget about the price tag, just want to make the world dance. Another day, another dog. Doen't it look like I need a scottie dog? aww

So I really just wanted to wear my red hat to day...let me rephrase that, I really wanted to wear my red hat today. So I thought the hat and the scarf would be a brilliant combo, but I wanted to pick up the color yellow from the scarf, and I don't have a yellow shirt. So I buttoned on my cropped cardi, then put the button down over it. Since the cardi looked delightful under the shirt, I didn't want to place the scarf over it. So I belted it with a vintage purse strap.

Sorry for the awkwardness of this photo. I was trying to get the back view.

I'm just missing green socks ;)

Oh, and this is the skirt I bought! (It has pockets!)

2011-03-06T17:41:00.000-08:00

Hey guys! Guess who's back back back, back again 'gain 'gain. ME! Oh, sorry, did I dissapoint you? hehe Thanks for the tips on my last post dears! Oh, and the song from a few posts back is 'poisening pegions in the park' by John Lehrer. Ah-mazing!
Can you guess from the photos what I'm dreaming of? I'll give you some song lyrics if you can't: By the sea side ah-ah by the beautiful sea!
And instead of my usual nautical plea, I'm switching over to the side of beachy keen jelly bean. Straw hats, beaded bracelets, light cotton skirts. *sigh* I am so ready for summer.
Why hello there random nachos with cheese, sour cream, black olives, lettuce, and more cheese. I want you. haha I went shopping with the dears and then we grabbed a yummy bite to eat! And now, gaze upon my new but obviously old vintage hat I bought yesterday:
Ta-da! I also thrifted a black skirt for 7.50. Cha-ching! Love you guys for not abondoning me!

L<3VED

How do you guys do it?

2011-03-05T18:17:00.000-08:00

Maj-orly stressing out right now kids! And its because of a common problem. The keeping of a room. Keeping it clean to be specific.

So tell me, HELP ME! How do those of you who share a room, home school (takes A LOT more space), sew, craft, participate in a sport in which you must store your own equipment, and run a fashion blog, keep your room clean?

Please? This is me begging.

Life is skittles and life is bear.

2011-03-01T14:11:00.000-08:00

I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring, I do, don't you? Course you do! Ten cool points to anyone who knows the song!
Remember how yesterday I was bored? I think I'm over it. The evidence is clear in this post.
But I'll still go shopping :) Wouldn't say no to that!
L<3VED

Feeling sorry.

2011-02-28T21:25:00.001-08:00

Hello all!

I'm sorry I haven't written for a while, but one of those terrible moments that every fashion blogger shrieks in terror at has arrived: I have become bored. Not to worry dears, help is on the way! In what form you ask? I was sure you would have already guessed. I am going with a few friends to receive some shopping therapy. I mean full blown spree. I mean I might actually spend more then 10 dollars in one outing! But, I do not do this with disorder. I am not going to impulse buy, I am going to list shop. Scouts honor. (Only girl scouts are pro-choice, so I'm a tom boy scout:)

A la list:

2 white skirts (the two I have now must be worn together to create longness)

2 black skirts (Same as above for the most part)

2 pairs high waisted jeans. (Because I'm a funk Machine.) (One pair to be cut into shorts)

1 something funky. Anything really! (Because I can't survive on basics;)

1 WWD (Whimsical white dress)

1 LBDTDSLM (Little black dress that doesn't smell like must)

A button down shirt.

Long term:
A car ride to Colorado
A plane ride to NYC for dum dum dum! Fashion week. Yes, I will be staying with my Aunt for a week of LOOOOooovely fashion.
Maybe I'll even get to buy a hot dog from a street vendor! I'm not gonna lie, that is the thing I am actually looking forward to the most. For years I have wanted to buy a hot dog (or corn dog) from a street vendor. Its all princess Mia's fault too!

Also, I'm painting my nails for inspiration. Nail painting is my unfailing muse. How about you? What seems to pick you out of the uninspired dumps the best?

The day of dance

2011-02-19T17:05:00.000-08:00

So today I went to this freebie thing that goes on every year called the day of dance. I danced a few dances from over in Europe, they were pretty fun. Of course as I was dancing I spotted this doll accross the way. Of course I just had to snap her photo: Don't you just love her shoes? Yeah, me too :)

Here are the dance instructors in their costumes. Aren't they great?

So I had a pretty good time. Got to talk to one of the derby girls who was there passing out flyers. haha I got (speed skating) connections. Shows usually depict roller girls as being mean and nasty, all the ones I know are really nice and particularly charming. haha but I don't think I'll ever be as tough as them.

Demure-the modesty maker

2011-02-08T15:32:00.000-08:00

Natasha Atkerson from A modest fashion blog: What I wear, what I did, and why I did it, makes these lovely demures! What is a demure? You may ask. Well, it is an impostor under shirt, used to cover up your chest while wearing a low cut shirt. Natasha has many different designs available, and she used different laces and colors. The demures have a flat top, and a rounded bottom. They have two buttons, one on each side, and elastic that latches onto the buttons to keep the demure in place.

Natasha sent me a demure to review, and here are the results:

Pros: The demure is comfortable, and light weight. It is nice because you don't have to worry about your undershirt making your outfit look frumpy, or wrinkly. It is easy to use.

Cons: It slipped down a bit, so I had to adjust it. I did not feel that it was long enough. Though this last bit would depend on how low cut the shirt you wear it under is.

Extras: I had to wrap the elastic around the button a few times, but I'm not sure this is either a pro, or a con.

To take a look at her various designs, visit Natasha's boutique.

Also, stay tuned, because Fashion is a poem, not a Rhyme will be giving away a demure!

L<3ved

And the winner is...

2011-02-08T15:21:00.000-08:00

So only one person entered my contest a while back and that was my friend Kat. So she wins the black demure! Stay tuned because I will be posting about two give aways soon. I'm also going to write two reviews that I have disgracefully not written already.

Ooh, I need you here tonight

2011-02-04T17:06:00.000-08:00

This song is stuck in my head. Oh me aching head. I took a fall during speed skating today, it was pretty cool, I named my helmet. She is Ana Marie. Thats right random objects, if you save me from potential brain damage/death, I will name you! You have probubly seen this outfit before, as its my go to outfit, and I lurve it! I went shopping today but nothing in my price range is interested0just cheap. I can get quality and good pricing at thrift so I usually don't go to the mall-which is where I met some friends today.

I put up a new poll! Be the voice! Or, whatever...

2011-01-26T13:49:00.000-08:00

Saira. SAIRA! When I first started blogging Saira was one of my first followers. She said I inspired her. She inspired me in turn. She had just started a blog also, and she had posted about twice before everthing went south. By everything went south, I mean that her blog dropped off the face of blogger. The first two posts she had written were still visible, and she still followed me. But when I clicked to go to her blog it never took me there. It told me that is didn't exist. Yesterday on reader I was over joyed to find that around 20 posts showed up! 20 posts I had never seen, had never even known of, posted in the last year, had just suddenly showed up. I clicked to go to her blog, thinking everything was good again, after so long. But it told me that her blog was 'registered'.
I smiled when I read her posts, wishing in my head that I knew her, that we were best friends. But unless I wrote a blog post to her, I wouldn't be able to contact her.
It only just occured to me to write her a blog post, after I logged on and saw that I had one follower less then yesterday.

Too late. Good bye Saira, I dearly hope someday that you find this, that you know why I never contacted you. I hope that your costume sewing continues to go well. Love you girl. I'm sorry.

The step father GLARE

2011-01-25T14:20:00.000-08:00

So first of all, inspiration is taken from a red salvatore ferragamo add, and a marc Jacobs add in which the girls are glaring at the camera. So I tried to dress all in the same colors, though the tights and socks were too dark.

So of course in my mind I had to tell the story of why the girls in the photo glare. They glare because their step father continuosly intrudes apon then. When he comes in, they stop what they are doing, glare at him, and don't go back to what they were doing until he leaves.

And yeah..I just happened to find a stuffed animal. -_-

This chic has a chictopia

2011-01-24T10:09:00.000-08:00

So you guys, I have had a chictopia for a long long time, but I just recently started actually getting on it. I forgot my password, that how long I've had it and haven't used it. Haha yeah... Anyway, I have two sets of outfit photos yesterday. You will probably realize that I am obbsessed with stripes. Yup.

Don't you love these little sunglasses? I've had them for forever and a day. And that my friend, is a long time.

Funny story about this green jacket thing. My friend's Dad's family pulls names and they get a present for whoever's name they pull. Well he pulled his sisters name, and she was really upset because she knew she would hate whatever he got her. So he went to good will and found the ugliest dress they had, and gave it to her. She was so super mad! Then he gave her the gift card he had gotten for her. This present returned every year, and whoever recieved it had to wear it and have his/her photo taken in it. Including my friend's Dad. And then he gave it to me, I guess the family tradition is over, 'cause this chick is not giving it up!

Waaaaa! I be ninja.

See? More stripes. Enjoy!

So I have a question for you, and I'm going to put up a poll in the side bar for it: How often should I post?

So when I get it up, go vote!

Some of the cutest kids I know

2011-01-22T18:15:00.000-08:00

Starting with these ones...yeah. Haha this is my sister, and one of my best friends. Actually, this is the friend I am going to Colorado with! Super excited! So on Friday we do school together, and we Kat was like "Hey do you have plans tonight?"
"aha I'm home schooled, of course I don't!" hehe just kidding, thats not how it happened. I had decieded to skip speed skating because I wasn't feeling like 2 hours of brutal exercise. So we went out for Chinese food! And since we got the buffe, we figured we might as well try some new things...

Yes, it was really gross. I also tried fried zucini, which was too bad, and I tried some fish which was actually pretty good. I also tried this weird looking fruit, but...no. Ew. haha, but you should always try new food, because you could find a new favorite!

So now we move on to Saturday (today:) We went to our friends lovely home/house/farm to help move furniture, and to celebrate not one, not two, but three birthdays that are on the same day. The twins are turning two, and Anna is turning 8.

We had a lot of fun decorating all three cakes.

Ab showed me his flip. One talented kiddo.

Sonja! Is this not adorable?
*squeel* I'm such a weirdo. I was freaking out over their cuteness pretty much the whole time we were there.

Fifth day of the fever

2011-01-18T07:18:00.000-08:00

BIEBER FEVER. ha. Just kidding.
But seriously, I've had a fever for five days. *gasp* After throwing on my ugliest sweet pants (aoropostal) and my t-shirt, the only thing I have changed since Friday, is socks and underwear and ya know, that other thing girls wear. I skipped work on Saturday, I stayed home from church on Sunday, yesterday I skipped my IOTC class. I don't have anything planned for today except sucking on mints and reading the odyssey. Now before you get to thinking I'm smart, 1.I had to good odyssey because I still can't spell it. 2.As I read my mind is thinking about everything BUT the odyssey 3.I have to use cliff notes to make sense of it all (mostly because I'm usually not paying attention as I read) (BUNNY)

So because nothing is new with my outfits, I figure I'll blog spam you with some things I've been thinking about lately.

-At my church, all the children are home schooled. This often wards off visitors. People will say they thought about coming, but they would feel out of it because they don't home school. It is not required that they home school, and I myself, and my friends from church, have public school friends who are very near and dear to us. The truth is that not every family is cut out for home schooling, and its possible that God has not called some people to home school. But just because you don't home school, doesn't mean you shouldn't come to our church.

Actually if you think about it, the reason we don't have public/private schoolers at our church is because of the people who don't come for that reason. If they came we would. (This all makes sense in my head)

Meh well, I guess I'll never take a step out of my front door because everybody else in my neighborhood is public schooled.

But I guess, b+a=c, and a+b doesn't.

I'm really not trying to bash anyone. But I've just been thinking about all this lately. People may think that we are excluding them, but really they are excluding themselves.

I mean all the time, every where I am surrounded ONLY by public/private schoolers, do I feel out of place? Well of course not. Do I feel pressed to go home and sit in my room all day and never go anywhere? No, no I'm quite the social butterfly. But I'm also REALLY shy. Just ignore that contradiction. It makes sense when you know me personally.

See the thing about being home schooled:
I don't go to your school, so I'm not going to help with popularity
I'm not learning at the same pace as you, whether it be slower, or faster, so I can't really help you get good grades.
I can't go to school with you, and stand up to the school bullies for you. I can't help you deal with the mean girls.

But I can be there for you when you come home crying because your 'friends' ditched you. I can be there for you when the kids on the street are making fun of your report card. I can be there for you and show you how to throw some really good punches, and I can listen when you talk about how that girl really hurt you today, and assure you that the things she said aren't true.
Yeah, and I'm never going to stop telling you to watch your mouth.

And just as you ask me about if I wear pajamas to school, I'm going to bombard you with questions about your uniform, and the school dances.

Anyway, please pray for healing!

Instead of being annoying on FB

2011-01-14T17:35:00.001-08:00

I'll just be annoying on here!

Today I woke up with a sore throat, an aching back, a head ache, and a cough.

I took some Ibuprofen, got dressed, brushed my teeth-also took some super tonic-homeopathic thing.

From 10-12ish I was at the library, doing school with my friend, and then eating lunch. From the library, we headed strait to a little town close to where I live for our home school co-op.
-Chemistry lab
-writing
-ceramics
-visit with friends till mom is ready to go.

We stopped by taco bell and I got a chalupa. When we got home I got ready for speed skating, and then left. I ate my chalupa on the way to practice. After a 2 hour work out, I came home.

Writing this makes me think of the blessings I had today. I got to wake up in a warm house, in a comfy bed, with warm blankets. I had medicine available. I get to do school with one of my best friends and her family, and my family. I don't have to wake up at 5 to get ready to go to school. I have a good public library. I have teachers who care about my education, and want me to excel. I got to draw with crayons. I got to have some of my favorite food! I have skates. I'm not a vegetable. I have team mates who want to help me, and do. I have a helmet. I got to ride in a heated car. I got an A on my paper. :P

Of course there are many more, but I'm tired, and it would take me about forever to list all of my blessings.

Praise the Lord!

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

You get 10 cool points if you know the song my title came from.

Really the song makes perfect sense with my skirt.

I went skating today, and as usual, it was super fun!

I brought my light sword saber. hehe. Sometimes when you're with a bunch of home school kids, if you blink, when you open your eyes, almost every one has a sword. Its a nerd thing.

Ooh yeah, look at those sharp shoulders!

2011-01-05T20:12:00.000-08:00

I went to the library again today, so more roof top photos! I enjoyed running around with my cloak flying behind me, fantasizing about what people thought when they saw me. I finally got to go to speed skating practice today! I've had work and events these past few weeks. I'm also going to the home school skate tomorrow. I don't have work on Friday, so I get to go to practice then too! Three days of skateworld in a row=one happy me. Also one happy sore me...

This has got to be the 3rd or 4th day in a row I'll make a man out of you has been stuck in my head. I'm not complaining though!
Today's outfit photos come 1. From my back yard and 2.from my bedroom. I took my photos quickly! Why? I was freezing my but off...need I say more?
heh, I remind myself of a little girl at my church (we had lots of fun playing together yesterday:)
Today is day 4 of Natasha's modest online fashion week thingy. :D It is also the third day in a row I've painted with my lovely water colors! I surprise myself with having a tiny bit of talent. Yesterday I painted the rivers clapping hands, and today I painted the mountains singing.

Psalm 98:8 Let the rivers clap their hands; Let the hills be joyful together before the Lord.

Some versions say hills be joyful, some talk about the mountains singing. Hill, mountain, POOHtato Patato. hehe. BOO!nana, Banana. Purple, Poiple. Personally, Poisonally. Bonjoir, Ola, Hello, Hey, What's up? How do you do?

I'll make a man out of you (Day 3)

2011-01-03T21:23:00.000-08:00

I took a tiny adventure to the library today for photos. We have a cool library that is some what underground, so I took my photos "on the roof" It's neat because it has a little field, and a walk way around the field. Can you guess from the title what movie I picked up? I think next time I do an "Opening arms to heaven and making a joyful noise unto the Lord" pose, in a field I will raise my tri-pod. Don't I just look like Anne praying?

On the roof. Look at that beautiful sky! It was so clear, I spotted the little dipper (one of the two constolations I know) when I arrived home from the IOTC (Institute on the Constitution) class. It made me want to grab my telecope and scan the mid-night sky.

A few of these photos, were not taken on the roof, but on the entrace to a trail that runs off the library propery. I would have also taken a photo with a lake in the back ground, but I noticed the sign that boldly declaired "PRIVATE LAKE NO TRESPASSING"

Today is the third day of Natasha's fashion week. As usual I am up late blogging. It is unfortunate as my mother has decided to start getting us up earlier. I usually sleep till 9, she's waking us up at eight, and it is nearly 12 here. Yes, I am the master of being a "Lazy daisy"

We started school again today. The only real downer about that is math. Math is the menace of my life. Other then that I really enjoy it. Right now we are studying Greece, and of course, Greek mythology a long with it. I mostly read love stories today, they were beautful, but tragic in their turn.
I feel so poetic and happy today, but its mingled with sadness. My sister and I have some very dear friends, one who just moved, and another who is planning to move at the end of this month, or the begining of next.

I very much enjoy being a weirdo.

Purse: Vintage~Grandmother's attic

Tribal jacket thingy: Vintage~Grandmother's attic

Yellow cardi: Hand-me-down I think

Bathing suited ladies shirt: either retro, or vintage, I'm not sure which~Mother's Closet

Red Dress: Vintage~Grandmother's attic

The more layers I wear the more details I must type. Heh.

What works. (Day 2)

2011-01-02T20:13:00.000-08:00

Today I actually took my photos outside! It was extreamely exciting. Screwing my camera onto a telescope tri-pod is the trick I used. Unfortunately it is not as easy to use as the tri-pod that is sadly lost. But it's what works. I photographed myself with the self timer at around 4 in the evening. Adventurously, I used three different locations, all in the perimiter of mine and my neighbor's yard. How daring. My face seems so unsure in this photo, but I love the outstretched arms. I'm open for creative criticism, I want to make my outfit photos better.

Details on the scarf. Also, mint green nail polish!

Today is day two of Natasha's Fashion week.

And I think this last photo is my favorite for the day.
Hat: Vantage~Capricorn's vintage

Shirt: So~Kohls About 5.00-gift from Nana

Day one

2011-01-01T18:23:00.000-08:00

Today is day one of many things. It's day one of 2011, day one of January, and most importantly its day one of Natasha's Feminine Fashion week.

My little brother took the first two photos *wipes eyes* I'm so proud of him!

Scarf: Bag sale I think, $2.00 for the bag (making it cost a few cents I think)

Shirt: Hand-me-down

Dress: Vintage-Grandma's Attic

Leggings: $3.00 Max Rave

Shoes: Hand-me-down

Watch: $7.00 wal-mart, its served me for a good two years so far.

Socks: Mum-Wal-mart.

So has anyone broken their new years resolution yet?

L<3VED

I wear the pants.

2010-12-30T17:34:00.000-08:00

So I have these pants that my Nana bought for me when she visited (I only get to see her once a year) and they don't quite fit. For all of their cuteness I have to find other ways to wear them. So today I decided to wear them belted on. I went to the museum with a group of friends and in the parking lot some guy asked me to come show his daughter what I was wearing. The person at work in the gift shop compliminted me, and did a written portrait of me. I'll try and scan it for you later.

I actually used the flash to take these photos of our...dirty carpet, well, that wasn't the main focus. I just notice things...hehe

The green scarf had to be incorporated of course.

We went to Cici's (the most amazing pizza place ever!) after our trip to the museum.

And then the friends who were driving me home took me with them to the eye glass shop. Then we went to payless, TJmax and Target.

And I just wore PJs and my uniform yesterday, so I put the scarf on a straw hat for an "outfit photo"

Not exactly cheating. I just had such a wonderful day! Love you! L<3VED

Sack cloth and ashes.

2010-12-28T15:47:00.000-08:00

Very very clean sack cloth, and invisable ashes... So when I went to the doctors today, I had to strip down and put this paper thing on. My hair is messed up from the scarf :P anyway, I've been thinking a lot about God lately, and our relationship, so this is really a thought post.

A few years ago, I believe I was mildly depressed for a short period of time. Why? You ask, as most believe it impossible for somebody who is filled with joy in Christ. Because I was having a "faith lapse" no, not the kind where I didn't believe in God, or I doubted he was real. I'm talking about believing in God heart and soul but not believing that I truely loved him, and thinking that I was damned to hell, and finding it impossible that God could ever love me. I felt like the only reason I wanted to be a Christian was because I didn't want to go to hell, I just wanted the benifits of heaven. And then I had a crazy thought:
" I can't be saved, but I need to tell as many people as I can so that they will be saved."
1. obviously I can't save anyone
2. I'm saved.
How? You ask, well I started really thinking about it. Hell is more then just fire. Hell is the fire without the prayer. Without the praise, without the encouragement. If my house was burning down I could pray. If my house was burning down I could priase the Lord. If my house was burning down and me and my sister were going to die no matter what, I could hug my sister close to me, and we could die in each others arms, wispering prays.

In hell? Full and total seperation from Christ. FULL AND TOTAL. Never feeling comfort again. I think I could bear the weeping and nashing of teeth. The torchor. I couldn't live with out taking comfort in Christ. I couldn't live without the hope that is with in me. And so I would be eternaling dying. Which is why we call that the second death.

What a wonderful day day dayyyyy

2010-12-28T15:15:00.000-08:00

Sorry, Bryce, I know you don't like words spelled wrong on purposes. Shirt: Vintage G-mas attic
first skirt: Gift from Aunt B. (from Italy! In your face :O )
Second skirt: hand me down from Kat :)
Pants: $1.00 thrift
Shoes: hand-me-down.
Scarf: ??

So I went to the mall today and I got mint green nail polish! I have been searching for it for months! *pats self on back*

I also went to the doc's to have my physical. Why? Because I'm going to Colorodo this summer for a world view conference! Well, if I get accepted. So I had to get two shots :/ and pee in a cup.
Aww don't I look like a serine little wife who's husband just walked through the door?
Speaking of which, isn't God amazing? You see I was just thinking a lot about my "price charming" and I was getting sort of impatiant, and then on Sunday the sermon was about being patient and taking comfort in the Lord. Lemme tell you, I feel so much better now, I got the big man in charge looking out for me.
I have no idea how I would cope without having Christ in my life.
Goofy goofy, having lots of fun with this scarf!

Why hello there

2010-12-27T09:49:00.000-08:00

It seems that unlike most bloggers, my photos have gotten worse over time instead of better. Figures. I decided to start challenging myself yesterday. I have this hat box full of scarfs and ties and the like, but I hardly ever wear anything from it. So I'm going to try and wear one item from the box for a week, each week. This weeks item is a green scarf. This is from the first outfit:

This is the second:
Would you like it if I started listing where I got my outfit?
I think its time for a hair cut.
Also, do any of you know people who know people who know people who can get me invited to some fashion shows in September? If so will you please have them do so? Thanks:)
hmm I'm not feeling particularly beautiful today. I think I ate too much chocolate. LO<3ed

Finally the style blogger goes back to styling!

2010-12-16T10:11:00.000-08:00

Were you getting tired of all my seriousness? I wasn't really, but I decided to show this outfit that I'm wearing today. THATS RIGHT! Today! Lately I've been so lazy about outfit photos because I can't find a great place to take photos like other bloggers do. Well guess what! I found a place. Right in front of art work. Mine and my siblings art work that is :D I guess this outfit only really makes sense to me... It was partly inspired by The Tourist-a movie that I say the other day with my friend. I think I'm in love with the costumes. The leading lady always dressed formally-and it was beautiful! Of course I couldn't wrap my mind around how huge Angalina's lips were. Real life Bratz doll? Maybe my friends, maybe.
The other part of my inpiration came from my new rule.
(Rule one and only). Always wear something you can run away in.

The necklace is absolutly brilliant and it comes from my Mum's costume jewelry drawer. Yes, drawer.

I didn't think it looked so hot paired with the vintage purse strap from above friend. Gold vs. silver I guess. But who says I can't wear gold and silver together?
So I didn't want to wear my two toned tights because I'm going skating and I don't want them to smell like the insides of my skates. So I put on my leggings and then put my knee highs on. Then I folded my knee highs over the lace on the bottom of my leggings. I have thing to say about this look: Less then three look, less then three.

Count down to Christmas, day 2!

2010-12-14T16:55:00.000-08:00

So today is day 2 of AK's count down 2 Christmas event.
read Luke 2: 8-15 and blog about what that means to you, post a picture of your family (if you have a picture with aunt, uncle, cousins, etc. that would be great!)

Luke 2:8-15 tells the story of the shepherds being told about Jesus being born. I like how they were "Greatly afraid," when they saw the angel of the lord. We always envision angels as sweet little things when in reality they must be great and blinding!

So the photo of my family is extremely old, which means we were all young! *sigh* we sometimes wish Joshua had stayed that young and cute. hehe
L<3ved

Count down to Christmas day one.

2010-12-13T10:40:00.000-08:00

Anna Katherine's count down to Christmas even starts today! Its like a blog party, and its all to God's glory!

You can see the schedule for the count down, and link up if you want to participate here
So todays mission is to read Luke 2:1-7 and blog about what that means to you and post a picture of a family member along with what you think there favorite part of Christmas is, then ask them and and post below your guess, what their favorite really is. You might get it right! :).

So on Luke 2:1-7-I found it so amazing how low of a position Christ was in when he came. There was no room in the inn, so he was laid in a manger. Actually, I love this for two reasons, when parents say "What were you born in a barn?" it makes me think of this, because where Jesus was born was close to a barn. The other reason is that you see how humble Christ is, that he, who deserves to be in the best hotel ever, with his own person waiter, was born in such a low position. The king of kings laid in a manger.

Okay, I think my sister Lydia's favorite part of Christmas is giving gifts, and receiving gifts, and counting gifts. This is her love language for sure!

Her answer:

I like the Cold, putting up the tree and looking at our home made ornaments. Actually I think my favorite part is opening presents and pigging out on food!

hehe I was partly right. Also everyone, I know on AK's blog it says you sign up you HAVE to do everything, but I really can't commit to that (life of a home schooler, ya know?) so I may have to break the rules. *GASP* but I'm going to try anyway, and you can too!

EDIT: She changed the rules, you don't have to participate in EVERY thing. hehe

L<3ved>

I feel like an idiot, but I look like an angel

2010-11-30T18:35:00.000-08:00

Can I please just act conceited for a bit here?

I mean, here is how it goes:

You say your ugly, people are all "Oh no your not! Stop saying that!" Unless you are, then they say "Its whats on the inside that counts!" And guess what! Beauty is fleeting! It really is what you think, what you do, what you believe that makes you beautiful!

You gaze at your self in the mirror and think your beautiful. Your automatically conceited, vain, and prideful. Is there no medium? (No, because looks don't matter, remember?) Well I think looks matter just a bit. No, I'm not talking about your face, or your body, or your hair. The human eye is deceitful people. I'm talking about modesty (surprise?) and I'm especially talking about that special glow that Christians have on their faces.

Have you ever seen it?

The glow that came to my Moms face when her friend, who had been barren for years was blessed with a child.

When Chance came to church with us and started talking to paster Sam, and a huge smile hung on his face like a wreath.

Even in sorrow we rejoice. The faces of the mournful people, all in black. Smiling through the tears, singing praises with quaking voices. For the lady in the casket had assurance of faith and salvation.

I've written all this, and non of it is what I really meant to say. All I wanted to tell you, was that I feel beautiful right now. And I plan on feeling beautiful, for the wrest of my life.

Join me?

L<3ved

Its a celebration!

2010-11-28T17:23:00.000-08:00

Dear friends, I am writing to you today to tell you that I am now writing a column called "Mod modesty" on a face book group called Christian+teen+that relationship thing. You can view the group HERE.

To celebrate I'm having a give away! I chose to give away a lovely demure from Natasha's Boutique. And she sent me two because it was a give away!

I chose to give these away because of THIS article I wrote.

Doing business with Natasha was great, and I recommend that you check out her shop!

I'm having way too much fun with this hyper link stuff.

Two people will win a demure. The first person I draw will win the Miss.Samantha black demure, the second will win the blue and black one.

So to enter, just leave a comment below and leave a way i can contact you. I will stop accepting entries after December 13th. I'm not sure when to winner will be made known. So stay tuned!

Yesterday was woah

2010-11-25T07:59:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone:) I don't have good photos of my outfit from yesterday, but I'm posting them anyway!

Yesterday I did about a mountain of school work, went to the dollar store (where Lydia got her new glasses) and went to our friends house for pizza and devotional. It was funtastic!

I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving! L<3ved

The creative corner, or, the imagination station!

2010-11-25T07:33:00.000-08:00

So if you were wondering what I was up to yesterday, it was school work. Lots and lots of reading. But when I tired of greek mythology, I started work on this lovely project!

A friend of mine gave me lots of thread, and it made this look so cozy and perfect!

I hope you enjoy these photos.

The Lord be with you. L<3ved

Was it you who spoke the words?

2010-11-23T20:53:00.000-08:00

Was it you who spoke the words, that things would happen, but not to me. Oh things are going to happen natral lalalala yeah I've had this Jason Mraz song stuck in my head. But thats okay, because I love it.

Today I had work from 11-4, but I was dropped off more then an hour early because my sister had an eye appointment.

After work I had a McNasty burder, it was dry, and greasey. I think the only reason I can usually scarf them down, is because I drown them in ketchup first. But I didn't this time. Then I cashed a check at the bank, and headed over to Aldis and got a 12 OZ bag of cranberries. I am so excited to make cranberry sauce for thanksgiving this year!

These pretty flowers are for my Grandmother for Thanksgiving. But shh, don't tell!

So after our errands me, my Mother, and my sister went to Ladies night out with a bunch of gals from church at a pizza place. It was great! And a friend of mine gave me a box of craft supplies. SCORE!

Today is my Mom's 50th birthday, and she died her hair purple for the occasion. But her hair is really dark, so it didn't take very well:/ She said she'll try again at 60.

Still the life of the party. ;)

L<3ved

I tell yah...

2010-11-22T19:52:00.000-08:00

Ah I'm so bad at keeping up with photos. My memory card is almost full because I don't take my photos off it...which I really should do. Anyway, I'm uploading a bunch of photos to my facebook right now. I am so behind!
Okay, so here are me and some friends in sephora at the mall. We were shopping for Kat's 16th b-day! Kat is the one on the far right.

After shopping I changed into my fancy clothes to go see 'Of mice and men' at a university in my city.

YES! This is my poof. I've been wearing it almost everyday since I recieved it on Wednesday. I call it 'The Poof" because I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it makes my skirts and dresses poof out. Amazing.

It was homeschool day at a mini golf place in town, so of course I went out with my friends! I really love how homeschool friendly my city is.

We didn't keep count of our score, but it was still fun!

I also went to my friends surprise party on Friday night, but I didn't upload any photos.

This week is extremely much, lots to do!

Lots of school too, the good thing is, we get two weeks because of thansgiving.

L<3ved

OOooh

2010-11-19T07:28:00.000-08:00

Hello friends and animals, I wanted to share this lovely event that Miss.Samantha over on her blog simple Delights will be hosting.

She planning on posting lots of fun tutorials for great Christmas gifts and projects!

I'm also going to try and post a tutorial!

We'll see how that goes.

Also, for all you sewers out there, I'm about to start sewing with my machine that I could never get to work. I took it to a sewing event last night, and the nicest, coolest person I know, helped me a lot with figuring it out, and gave me a new needle. And we ate cupcakes. yum.

That really didn't have anything to do with this, just thought you might want to know.

Its now time to stand up for what we believe in

2010-11-16T19:44:00.000-08:00

Friends, strangers, activists, readers. I think its time to take a stand. I'm finding that I've been scared to share my real opinions on issues of actual importance. On things such as abortion, homosexual rights, capital punishment, the health care bill.

First of all, let me just tell you that I am a covanent, reformed, orthodox, presbyterian, Christian. And I would like to ask that all comments on this post be made in a rational, non-insulting way. Logical arguments and debates will be excepted, name calling and degrading comments that have nothing to do with the subject will not.

Abortion.
In my opinion abortion is wrong. I believe that it is murder. I do not believe that it is a womans right to abort a baby because it is her body. Because our bodies are not our own!

“Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” (1 Corinthians 6:19)

Homosexuality.

The Bible pretty much lays out what I believe. Of course there is hope! We are all sinners, whether we like it or not. Do you think I haven't been greedy? Or I haven't slandered? Think again. But I have been forgiven, and I'm in the proccess of being sanctified.
We shouldn't pass judgment on gay friend, every friend we have is a sinner, does that mean we don't hang out with them, or we hate them? Of course not! We love them and we try to encourage them toward Christ!

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 – “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.”

Capital Punishment.

The bad thing about capital punishment is that people who are inoccent (non of us are inoccent by the way, but there a certain crimes that are deserving of death on earth) are somethimes killed.
Leviticus 24:17-22: "And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.

The health care bill.

We shouldn't HAVE to have healthcare. I mean, would you want to governemnt to feed you only vegatables? Also, it shouldn't be the governments job to provide this for us!

Alright! *claps hands* lets get some good conversations going! L<3VED

P.S. for all those who are all "But a loving God would never do this or that," Just remember that God created the wicked for their own desruction. I love the book of proverbs.

I told you!

2010-11-14T17:13:00.000-08:00

Yay I'm posting! I love this outfit so much! I took the time to hand wash the hand wash only pieces. Thats right folks, the vest and skirt (and also a shirt that I didn't include) were resting in a bag for a long time after I bought them at a yard sale when Aunt B. was in town.

This last photo is of me lecturing you for not telling me how to get my words under the photos.

I'm even using a parcial vampire face. And I'm not talking sparkles. I'm talking Buffy's gonna have to stake me if I don't get answers soon.

RAWR...er I mean, I vwant to such you blood?

humph.

Anywho, hope you all had a wonderful sabbath!

Warning: Biology dissection photos.

2010-11-13T17:47:00.000-08:00

Wow, so, I haven't posted in lets see....FOREVER! Sorry:/ I've gotten into a eat, sleep, work, school, read, party, eat, sleep, work, school, read, party, mode.

So I didn't really have any oufit photos, which is why I'm showing me and B. goofing off in bio. He was spinning his cray fish, and I was....eating mine. But not really, I was make believe eating it!

I'm still hating how my format is. i cannot figure out how to get the words below the photos now! One day, I just got on, and it was changed. Help? Please?
Anyway, I haven't dropped off the face of the planet, and I'll be back soon. As is tomorrow. I hope. Great outfit planned! L<3VED

How did your election day go?

Mine was super duper exciting! (thuper duper exthighting!-for you 'shes the man' fans)

I went to the republican party, and we had some big winners! Not everyone who I wanted to win got voted in, but I'm sure the democrats are much sadder then I am tonight!

Happy reformation day!

2010-10-31T06:23:00.000-07:00

John Wycliffe

Martin Luther

Jan Hus

Ulrich Zwingli (not sure about this fellow, haven't heard much about him before)

John Calvin

John Knox

“Sola Scriptura,” or Scripture Alone

“Sola Gratia,” Salvation by Grace Alone

“Sola Fide,” Salvation by Faith Alone

“Solus Christus,” In Christ Alone

“Soli Deo Gloria", For the Glory of God Alone

It would be quite absurd for me to post this with out any explanation, and so, an explanation will be given.

The men I listed at the top of this post were men of God, who observed that the catholic church had been corrupted. Selling and buying indulgences-which is to say, selling something that would make sure the buyer would go to heaven, was a popular practice. But salvation is by faith alone, by grace alone, and in Christ alone. Sola Gratia. Sola Fide. Solus Christus.

These men fought to proclaim those words, and exclaimed that only by faith in Jesus Christ they could be saved.

Another thing is the language. Would you be confused if I wrote this all in Latin. (No, because we are homeschoolers, and homeschoolers love to learn dead languages) (well, not every reader is home schooled so ehhhhhh) (hehe sorry, I'm straying)

The men listed above also worked to translate the bible into the common languages so that the people could understand!

These men were ridiculed, locked up, and some were even burned at the stake. They were martyred in their own country's, and they stood up and spoke the word of God.

Will you?

2010-10-16T15:58:00.001-07:00

So basically, yesterday my printer didn't want to upload photos (I upload through my printer) but dad was home and he fixed it for me. But today he isn't home, and its not working again!
So if it starts working later I'll upload my fashion show photos.

I think I'm going to take a break from blogging for a week. After 4 fashion shows in 2 weeks, I'm wiped out. I don't think I'll be reading blog either, since that is where the real time consumer is.
So send me the important stuff! You can reach me at my email: supergirl3468@gmail.com

I'm going to use this break (ha, lets see if I can actually stay away that long)to read some books. Thats gotta be the biggest thing that I've slowed down on since starting to blog. I'm also going to work on some things so I can start listing on Esty, concentrate more on school, and make Christmas gifts for friends and family.

See you in a week:) Or, ya know, when I decide I can't stay away that long;)

A day at camp

2010-10-15T20:06:00.000-07:00

Today was homeschool day at camp

reveal, so I went and met up with some friends!

It was such a perfect day! The breeze, the weather, everything!

I'm wearing my cut up blue shirt, red vintage dress, leggings from max rave, thrifted Christmas socks, and really comfy shoes! Two of the pins are my mothers, and the hand and spoon one is mine. Vintage of course:)

Today is day 6 of the fashion show.

My photo is way too tiny. WAY TOO TINY! Heh.

They had two huge tires, and a tire swing. What more can a girl ask for?

Love you, L<3ved

Scared for a second there-day 5

2010-10-14T20:42:00.000-07:00

So today is day five of the fashion show, and I nearly paniced when my photos wouldn't upload! Dad fixed the problem so yay!

Today I wore my "servent girl, but not really" dress to toast masters (speech) and to the library! I was at the library for an informative program about etsy!
The dress is vintage, from the attic.
The cardigan is vintage, from the attic
the shoes are my Mom's, well, pretty much mine. They are covergirl.
The belt was thrifted.

So I've been thinking lately about starting an etsy shop.

Well, actually I made a shop months ago with help from Dad, but I've never listed anything.

So I was wondering what you guys think? I thought maybe I could sell some vintage, some of the teshirts I "redecorate" and also some paper works, such as cards. I love writing greeting cards!

Also, does anybody know how I can get my words to go under my photos? I just started writting one day and it put it on the side, and its confusing and I REALLY don't like it :(

Thanks huns:) Now go link up!

Yesterday

2010-10-09T07:50:00.000-07:00

was super duper fun. NO JOKE, Actually, there were lots of jokes...made it all the more fun! First I had school with Kat-the one in the middle, with the white shirt.

Then I went to CHEER-our homeschool co-op, where S-pink shirt, black vest, teaches, and K and H are students.

After that we went bowling and had a "retainer smashing/b-day/last day of work/going away party.

We are all amature bowlers, I think thats the first time this year I've gone bowling. So none of us were REALLY good. So after each turn of...throwing the ball in the gutter we high fived every one!

S in her 'bowling pose' we all had one.

Smash the retainer!

Okay, so, in the bathroom at the ally they had these 'morf windows' so...the following ensued.

Smash 'em! okay...so she posed for this one XD

Then today we went to holiday world!

And...I have a huge announcement to make....which may include a...well, I'm not telling yet!

Fall fashion for the entripreneur

2010-10-08T15:18:00.000-07:00

Its no secret to my friends and family that I'm money driven. For the last few years me and my siblings have raked many yards, and shoveled many drive ways. An essential to leaf raking is a good pair of work shoes. My work shoes are my brown chucks I bought for 3 bucks at a yard sale a while ago. They smell now, and are falling and ripping apart. Literally. They serve their purpose.

Another thing to have on hand, or shall I say neck? is a good scarf. My scarf is long, soft and comfy. It was a gift from my aunt who goes thought huge crafting stages.

My knit sweater from the anne taylor loft was either a hand me down, or a yard sale find, but I can't remember. I do suggest that if you use a knit sweat, make sure its tightly knit-you don't want the breeze to be let in from the holes. Fleece is a good alternative.

A pair of work jeans and a t-shirt will serve well enough for this occasion, you don't want to get to fancy, sometimes dog poop hides underleafs. I think thats the worst I've ever encountered during this seasonal job. My work jeans were hand-me-downs, and my shirt (not actually my work shirt, but it looks better with the outfit) was on sale at jc Pennys for 2-5 bucks.

Of course your going to want a good pair of gloves for 3 reasons:

1.to keep your hands warm'

2.to protect your hands from getting too sore from the endless motion of raking leafs.

3. pretty darn cute eh?

Also, lotion and chap stick work wonders! Your gonna want somthing for those chapped lips and sore fingers.

I couldn't find a hat to go with this, so I just flipped my hood up. A pony tail holder is also a good idea. You will also need a rake

or 6
and/or a leaf blower/sucker
and/or a leaf mower. Yeah, we started out with rakes, and we've been doing this for a few years, so we upgraded last year. The sad part it, its being commercialized as my brothers biz (his name is well known around here because he has a lawn mowing biz) when really, my sister and I have been on this leaf racking thing from the get-go. We pretty much started it. But David can push the mower, and Caleb is good with the leaf sucker/blower/mulcher.
So yes, work hard and some day you could own her own pants...I mean, 6 rakes, a leaf blower, a lawn mover, snow shovels, and a leaf mower, and fat suit...I mean, snow suit.

Since this week is the fall show case, and I wont have very much time to blog on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, I thought I'd make some scheduled posts. So if that works out, you should be seeing this on Thursday. Today, I would like to cover some of my fall essentials

My first fall essential is lotion. As soon as the weather starts to cool down my hands become extemely dry. They have been known to crack and bleed also. So this year I'm staying on top of it by applying this sample of Mary Kay's 'satin hands' lotion every night. I use one thats fragrance free, becuase I had found that fragrance hinders more then helps.

Satin hands hand lotion, fragrance free: $10.00 marykay.com

I apply chap stick several times a day, and am very grateful for my blistex. Of course I'm also a huge fan of burt's bees, but I only buy that when its on sale for a dollar. I guess I should stock up next time.

A hat to keep your head warm. My hat is vintage, and was a gift from a friend. I love the feather!

Boots are good for keeping your feet warm, and your toes cosy! Mine were $40.00 at challotte russe. They are the most expensive shoes I have ever bought, and I don't regret it! I allow myself to splug on boots. I'm actually about to by a black pair for $30.00.

To keep your arms, chest, belly and back warm, you need a good fall jacket. I found this jacket at a clothes give away. Fleece is a really good fabric for a fall jacket/sweater
To keep your neck warm, a scarf or shawl will be much apriciated. I found this shawl in my moms room last year.
Keeping your hands and fingers comfy in the cold will take a good pair of gloves. My gloves were $5.00 at the vintage store. These ones are not really made for warmth, but they are pretty darn cute!
Last but not least we have tights. Thick tights are nice for fall becuase they allow you to wear your summer skirts without getting *too* cold. The purple pair shown here were about $5.00 at gordmans.
And here is the outfit all put together:
Its good to have very versitile fall accesories, as they can be worn with pretty much anything, so you don't have to worry about having to find the perfect piece for all of your outfits.
Fall fashion is so fun! And tomorrow's post will bring even more fun fall fashion! Say that 10 times fast:)
Hope you enjoyed this post, L<3ved

Why hello there...

Fashion is a poem not a rhyme now presents...dunt dunt da da *GUYS IN KILTS* or, ya know, plaid at least. I think this came from a magazine, but I found it on some random blog and I can't really remember. If this photo is yours you can tell me to take it down, or give me your name so I can credit you:)

So basically I am stessededededed out. yes. LOTS of Eds, and in lots of stress. Its weird when I get "stressed" though, 'cause its not exactly stress...its more like

"OH MAH GOSH" *runs around house gathering food, blankets, books, pencils, paper, and candy* "I CAN HAS CHOCOLATE PLEAZE?"

Okay, fine, its not really like that. But basically...I still have a large amount of school work to do before Friday. eheha me no likey. And yet I'm on here, blogging, because thats what I do with worries/stressiness, I write. weeoooh. SLAP. You really don't need to be reading this, its just me making weird noises and stuff.^^ just admire that photo.

Monday: free day. Shoulda done my school while I had the chance! I did some though...

Read Jewish blessing book thingy magiger-we are studying Jewish holidays and such. Pick a thinking question to do. Finish writing assignment. Draw and label parts of earth worm. ACTION PLAN: If I finish researching, and I find a topic, read as much as possible. Then read more, and answer thinking question after speech. Draw, write. Blahaha

Saturday: NEED TO: find out if Kathryn want to come/can come with us to holiday world. ACTION PLAN: Call Kathryn

What I wear to work

2010-10-06T06:28:00.000-07:00

Today is day 6 of a girls life fashion show. The theme for today is what you wear to work or to youth group. As my church does not have a youth group, I decided to show you my uniform! I covered the logos because I'm not sure about their interent policy. The shirt and apron were given to me by Amy-the manager. The shorts are mine, and I think they were hand-me-downs. The shoes were hand-me-downs, though I think they were brand new. And the socks were provided by my parents.
I work at a place that sells cookies! Its really fun too! I get to bake cookies, make smoothie (not actually that fun, I DO NOT like making smoothies. You can have a coke.) I also get to decorate cookies and cakes! Well, I'm practicing for decorating cakes anyway;)

sleep overs are so fun!

So last night my dear friend Padme spent the night with me! While we were laying in bed, listeing to some of her *steller* music we were wispering back and forth. When I asked her for fashion advice she told me this:
"Wear gold, and wear purple. Both are royal colors, and will make you feel like a princess. Feeling like a princess makes me feel beautiful, feeling beautiful makes you glow with beauty. So just do what makes you feel beautiful," Do what makes you feel beautiful. Those words have been resounding in my mind. If I ever make and sell perfume, shampoo, or some other beauty product, thats what I would put under the "instructions"
She seems to be on top of things-Obi
Vintage necklace..worn on head-g-mas attic
bow-thrifted 25 cents
vintage suit-g-mas stinky attic
white shirt-khols
brown pants-hand me down?
shoes-hand me down.

Anikin: When I got to them we got into aggressive negotiations.
Padme: Aggressive negotiations? What's that?
Anakin: Ah, well, it's negotiations with a lightsaber.

What are your favorite star wars quotes? Mine were just from Episode 2.

ooh lets go to the mall

2010-10-05T15:48:00.000-07:00

Today is day 5 of the show over at the mod style lounge, the theme is going to the mall. When I shop, I like to wear a white shirt, black leggings, and comfy shoes.

White shirt-I wear a white shirt under or over so many things, that I like to have it with me to make sure something can be "modistfied" as Nasha (actually Natasha) says.

Black leggins-same as with the white shirt, I love wearing leggings and tights, so I like to make sure they look good with what I'm trying on.

Comfy shoes-when I shop, I walk a lot. I also like to have shoes that I don't need to wear socks with, and that can be slipped on and off easily. That way, any time I want to try on shoes, or a piece of clothing-like pants, it saves all of the tiying, untiying, and pulling socks on and off time.

I also like to have a bag instead of a purse, so that I can pack a water bottle, a snack bar, and some of the things I buy in it. I don't know about you, but shopping makes me thirsty, and carry a bunch of bags can be stressful.
White shirt: Nana bought it for me for 5 bucks at khols

Slip: g-mas attic

dress: thrifted 2-5 bucks

black footless tights....6 dollars at clairs?

shoes: hand-me-downs

bag: freebee thingy

I'm really enjoying all these shows! I have a mini photo shoot every day:) L<3ved

Day one-guest post

2010-10-04T09:12:00.000-07:00

Hello, padme here. My friend Ed told me there was a modest Padme fashion show going on over at Bridget's blog called "gonna take a ride across the moon" I hope you get that ride across the moon someday, it really quite fascinating...though a bit low key for my taste.

http://bridget-frances.blogspot.com/2010/09/padme-online-event.htmlSo Anyway, I figured, who better to participate in the Padme online event then...well, me!

So today I went to the droid factory and found these poor speakers laying on the broken bench. Its called the broken bench because thats where the broken droids are stored until they can be fixed. I found a girl who was dressed strangely laying on the floor reading a speaker droid manual, so she could help fix them up.

Since I was in a hurry this morning as I slept through my alarm, I didn't have as much time as usual to work with the amazing canvas of my hair. I also couldn't find my other red hair clip, and the only other hair clip available was a rabbit clip. What's a rabbit anyway? They look rather scary, I'm glad I've never crossed one. Of course Ani kept making fun of the hair clip...

Until I threatened to throw sand at him. He hates sand.

Then guess what he did! It outraged me, he stole my stress ball heart! One minute I had it, the next my hand was grasping only air. I'll get him for that.
Since this is a style/fashion blog-whatever that means, I suppose I should list my outfit details

Red shirt: hand-me-down

jacket thing: yard sale

map skirt-helps me out a lot: thrifted

shoes: hand me downs. They are so comfy!

I also wore a purse strap that a friend gave to me to hold my light sword saber

and my sharp two edged sword and case.

When going out you should always take your two best weapons.
And yes, the two edged sword is my bible, thank you very much.

Well, its been really fun guest posting. Maybe Ed will be so kind as to let me post again later on this week.

LO<3pad

thats what Ani wants;) ok, sorry, that was dirty.

Day four-relaxing at home

2010-10-04T08:59:00.000-07:00

I find that the best thing to wear while relaxing, chillin' hanging, whatever you like to call it, is this: My pajamas. My pjs are compiled of two things:
A so brand shirt that is either a hand-me down, or a 2 dollar thrift-but I can't remember which.
And a pair of comfy froggy pants that are hand me downs. Of course, relaxing, chilling, or hanging out at home, just wouldn't be right with out food. Which for me, was oatmeal. I don't like a lot of the food in my house. I love munching on veggies, but we have a bunch of chips and peanut butter crackers:/

Ribit ribit! L<3ved>

day three, and day one. And tomorrow is another day one.

2010-10-03T17:28:00.000-07:00

People people, are you not thrilled to death that my creativity will really be being tested tomorrow as yet ANOTHER modest fashion show begins? In through the nose, out from the mouth. Breath. Its gonna be okay. You guys actually stress me out, did you know that? I HAVEN'T READ ANYONES BLOG FOR 2 DAYS! *pulls hair out* ahhh. Because, yeah, I follow lots of blogs. lots and lot and well, this is getting redumbdent.

So today is day one of Marie loves fashion show case. You can go visit her here: http://marieloves00.blogspot.com/

Its also the third day of the style lounges fashion show, today's theme is 'going to church' I didn't actually wear these shoes to church, I wore my boots because it was cold outside. But the boots made myoutfit go over the $35.00 limit. They are the most expensive shoes/clothing item I have ever bought! $40. and it was worth every penny!

Shirt: Maxrave, on sale um 2-5 bucks?
Vintage jacket, skirt, and suit:g-ma's attic
shoes: perminetly borrowed from my mom....hehe
necklace: gift from a friend

Also, I thought I should mention that my watch was 7 bucks at wal-mart, but I usually don't post about that as I wear it almost every day and I don't count it as part of the outfit. Although is does look really good with this one!

I love this skirt so much, I could wear it pretty much every day. Its like wearing a round blanket! Which is why it is my fall/winter skirt! As soon as it gets cold enough to wear it again, I go through a sort of phase. Its like an outfit season when I only want to wear this skirt with a matching cardi.
Something about this last photo is so...love? I was in a "mark Jacobs add mood" inspired by that one photo of the three girls unsmiling.

stressed tired. Night. chocolate. faint. Think about that! L<3VED

we party hard and we party good

2010-10-02T19:04:00.000-07:00

Today is the second day of the mod style lounges A Girls Life Modest Fasion Show! http://modstylelounge.blogspot.com/2010/10/girls-life-fashion-week-day-2.html

Todays theme is formal! I wasn't able to dress in this lovely manner most of the day, as I had work, so I had to stick to the uniform standards.
The dress, cummberbun, and bow tie were all finds from my grandma's attic. Two items used to be my mothers, and I'm guessing that the dress was my cousins.

The shirt and shoes were hand-me-downs.

ooooh thats grainy! hehe. This is actually what I wore to my homeschool high school formal sophmore year! erm...I've grown a bit since then, the dress wouldn't even sip up all the way.
Go linkety link! Thank you for hosting. yes, you, I know you girls from the lounge are reading this! I love how modest fashion shows bring us like minded girls together for...internet fellowship:) I always get to meet new people! L<3VED

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.

2010-09-29T15:01:00.000-07:00

Yes, the title does refer to me telling somebody that a decade is 5 years. *dies* Also, I was taking a cake order to day at work and I spelled peace wrong. *dies again*
The outfit photos are from....from...Monday! I think... sorry, skater photos eh. But these next two are from yesterday, when I went shopping with Kathryn!
This is Kathryns 'favorite pretzal' haha

I have...home work to do:/ But instead I'm on here blogging! I figured all my wonderful followers deserved a post...even if they have to mentaly correct my spelling and grammer errors!
