Day 14 of 31 days of Pinterest

When I first saw this pin. I was drooling, the organization, the frugality, the simplisity. While im no where near as organized as this blogger. I just love her set up. Totally drool worthy. As a Christain woman I bow to know one on earth but I got a flash of Waynes World Alcie Cooper scene where they bow and say "we're not worthy" This blog is jam packed with all kind of goodness.

Just look at these awesome jars.

Now firstly, I really never heard of people making their own mixes before. Sure I have made brownies, biscuts, cakes and such from scratch but the idea of jaring them and making them convienat as a box of mix is awesome. You get the goodness of homemade, healthy & cheap and the ease of  "cooking from a box" Yes, Please, and Thank you. Check out her blog here for recipes and more info.

Tomorrow Starts the "31 days of Pinterest"

I'm very excited to do this, and get other bloggers involved. In this Weekly "blog hop" Sharing your Pinterest finds. Everyday I will blog about a "pin" That I have tired, plan to try, or something that I think is just to awesome not to share. I will share my take on the "pin" and lead you to the blog or website where it started (when possible) Other bloggers will do the same and will add their links to Saturday "hop" so you can view their Pinterest endeavors. I encourage everyone who plays along to follow the participating blogs, and to leave comments for one another and pin their reviews. I will give a brief explanation with each weeks "hop" It will be super simple I promise. I can't wait to get started and hope to meet lots of new bloggers along the way! You can grab the "31 days of pinterest" button on the side bar to let others know that your playing along.

After each hop I will choose a few links I liked and feature those blogs in the following weeks hop.

If you are featured you can grab the "I was featured" button on the left and post it on your blog.

Today I will talk about Fashion

And if you know me, get past the laughter and read on.
My "fashion" or lack their of consists of the following items
-Long jean skirts
-Brown or gray Tshirts
-flip flops or crocs
-head scarves
-My wedding/engagement rings and my star sapphire ring my mom gave me on my 16th birthday
-earrings optional

In other words I am fashionless, I wear make up on rare occasions only and even then its just powder, maybe a light brown eye shadow and lip gloss.
My hair style is one of two styles Sloppy bun or head scarf

Lame, I know! I guess after being with my husband for 13 years, being a sahm for almost 8 years I just stopped trying along the way. Most days I stay home I actually wear my Grandmothers old moo moos or "house coats" as she called them. I swore I'd never wear ANYTHING like that but seriously don't knock em' unless you have tried them. They are comfy as ever and they even have pockets yay!

I have been losing weight and its inspired me to try to amp up my looks a bit. The first (and only step so far) was getting a hair cut. I have been rocking long hair and ponytails since highschool and I was ready for a change. I still wear it up in a messy bun but their is less of it at least. When we are going out I do try to wear it down and I flat iron it so it looks nice and sleek. I have VERY thick hair and it looks puffy if I don't.

I am severely make up and hair product challenged and I refuse to spend money on these things because I end up looking like an orange with stiff hair and its a waste.

Clothing is least of my worries I am pretty comfortable with what I do wear but am considering branching out to different colors. My absolute favorite color is brown, I hate light or pastel colors but I could consider some dark blues and greens, or maybe a maroon? I don't know I do have one pink/coral shirt I wear from time to time but it only made it in my closet because I like the material and it was on clearance for $1.99. "function before fashion" as my husband says.. it fits the purpose of being a comfortable shirt so we can overlook the color.

So help ladies.. I need a makeover BADLY... and of course it needs to be cheap!


I'm Hopping over to this blog hop. Hopping these fashioneastas can point me in the right direction!
