My Dream: Kitchen

My dream kitchen would be a mixture of retro fifties diner meets pink barbie kitchen. I love the pink appliances, black and white checker floors, vinyl bar stools and seats, cute fifties housewife apron, and of course in my dream kitchen i would be making nothing but heart shaped sweets :) I made the collage above from this really awesome website called beeclip.com! you can make a collage like I did or a mood board, photo album, portfolio, or scrapbook. You can change the borders around the pictures, change the size of them,add text and stickers, and change the color of the background. When you are finished you can upload it to facebook, download on your computer and share with your friends. There are lots of fun things to do on this so I thought I would the website with everyone :)

AZ Cardinals Football Game

Last Saturday I got the chance to go to a pre-season Cardinals game with my family. I've been to one professional football game before back home in Washington and even though I am a girl I do enjoy a good sporting event. I just love the excitement of it! Getting ready and wearing the Cardinal garb to support the team, the smell of food that isn't good for you at all...like the giant hot dog I ate hehe, the roar of a big crowd as the team makes the first touchdown, till the end intensity of who will make the last score and win the game. It's all fun for me...I even enjoy the overly enthusiastic fans, the ones who yell and scream and get totally serious when the other team scores. It was funny to me to see how the opposing fans act after the game. When the cardinals lost the cardinals fans said to themselves it was just a pre-season game so it doesn't count and the Chargers fans would say smirky remarks, this interaction just makes me laugh. Its interesting to me how some people can take a game so seriously...I totally understand why the players might be upset when they loose because they work hard to win...the fans just sit, watch the game and spend money. Its all in good fun though and that's why I love it!

Opt To Adopt

There are tons of websites that show statistic of animals in shelters or rescues and honestly it's hard to know what the real statistical numbers are of animals in shelters, the number of pets euthanized each year and so on, so I will link a few web sites below for anyone interested to check out. The basic thing is that tons of pets are euthanized due to over population. Now I'm not telling anyone what to do but my personal thoughts are if you want a pet a rescue or animal shelter is a great place to look. It makes me sad to think of a poor animal not getting any love or attention. Also, if you have a dog or cat honestly they should be spayed or neutered because if not it is very well likely the number of pets in a shelter and getting euthanized will go up. Some Shelters are lowering their adoption fees which is a great way to get people to adopt! If you cant have a pet you could also look into volunteering. So basically if you are interested in getting a pet please consider adopting!

Click Here for information about adoption and to find a shelter.

Here is another great website for finding shelters and learning more about it.

This website gives you facts about U.S. animal shelters, pet ownership, and over population. The bottom of the page also gives you more links to check out.

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things: WetSeal

Just A few items that I would get from WetSeal if I had enough money.

Machine Jeans are one of my favorite brands and these white destroyed skinny jeans are fab!

Most of all the Machine Jeans i've found are destroyed so these are a a breath of fresh air.

this belted tunic looks nice and polished.

There is just something about this all over lace top that I like. I think it could look tacky but styled right it could be fab! Plus it comes in four colors.

This floral heart tank is adorable!

WetSeal has some great basics and I particularly like this v-neck racer tank. It comes in white, charcoal and black.

I also really like this ribbed v-neck Tee. It also comes in a variety of colors.

This knit pull over sweater comes in a few colors and I like that it has a kind of preppy look to it.

It says online that there are only a few of these dresses left. I adore the pattern on it! Soo cute!

This stripped hooded poncho looks like it would be super comfy!

This denim hooded jacket would look cool for fall.

These little red bow flats are so cute!

The added touch of a bow to this beanie hat is really cute!

Summer Fruit Salad with Lime Dressing

Let me first start out by saying my youngest brother has Crohn's Disease and this recipe came from a cookbook that has recipes in it that are good for people with Chohn's or colitis and it's a good healthy recipe that would be great for a dinner party or bbq (or just any sort of gathering).

3-4 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 2 medium limes)
2 tablespoons sugar (you could substitute with stevia or other better for you sweetner)
1/2 small seedless watermelon, cut into bite sized peices
1 medium cantaloupe, cut into bite sized peices
2 large peaches, pitted peeled and sliced
1 cup seedless red or white grapes, halved
1 pint strawberries, stems removed and halved
1 pint blueberries
1/2 pint raspberries

Stir together lime juice and sugar and set aside. Combine all the fruits in a large bowl. Drizzle the lime dressing and toss gently. Cover and chill 1-2 hours before serving. Garnish with fresh mint if desired.

Makes about 12-14 cups

Back To School Look: Sporty

This look I'm calling sporty but its also very much a lounge outfit. It would be great for those days where you want to look cute but also have a very comfortable outfit without looking sloppy.

A cute hoodie like this hello kitty one from forever21 for $22.80 or a cute raglan top like this one from foreevr21 for $12.80. Basically just any zip up hoodie, pullover or raglan top that fits you're personal personality.

Then pick up a colored Cami that you like. I liked this one in hot pink to go with the mini mouse zip-up. It comes in lots of colors and it's only $2.80.

A pair of yoga pants like these from Kmart for $14.40.

Then you need a pair of comfy shoes. My personal favorites are converse because they come in lots of colors and patterns, they can last you a long time and they are comfortable for school. So I chose these in pink to go with the pink, grey and black outfit for $44.99.

you may or may not need some socks. If you do need a package of new socks i really suggest these from forever21 because you get a five pack for $4.50 and they also carry other super cute single pair socks for only $0.95.

The total cost of this outfit is $84.99 and with the socks 89.49 and that's before shipping and tax.

Here are just some fun extras

For working out you might want to get a sports bra like this one from forever21. Forever21 actually has a good selection of fairly inexpensive sports bras in different colors.

Also if you don't like the loose fitting yoga pants a pair of Stretch Capri Pants like these
You also might want some headbands, hair clips or bobby pins which you can find here at forever21 for super cheap!

Forever21 also has a collection called F21 University so you could look there for specific items for your school and don't forget Vs Pink! They have all sorts of super cute lounge clothes, they are just a little more spendy.
