Book Review

For Christmas, I got...

A Kindle!

(Thanks Santa!)

I absolutely love it! I do enjoy holding a book in my hand but the lowered price tag of $139 and the huge free and discounted ebookstore on amazon enticed me into this beauty of a product.

This will give me the chance to read many books that normally I wouldn't pick up. To start off, I decided to read Wish by Alexandra Bullen. It was a limited time deal on amazon for free! I read it in a day & just wanted to do a review it. I might start doing that with other books & movies. 

Review

Wish by Alexandra Bullen

5/10

Wish was an entertaining book but nothing more than that. It was about a shy girl (Olivia) who moves to a new town (how original). Her twin sister had just passed and after meeting a magical-seamstress, wishes for her sister back. Her spontaneous sister turns into her life coach and changes her views on life and turns her into a social butterfly. The book was very predictable and obvious but all together, an entertaining book for a rainy day.

(What did you get for Christmas? Did anyone else read this book? If so, what are your thoughts?)

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!

There's still snow here in New England!

(Is there any where you live?) 

Well, like everyone I have been working on my New Year's Resolutions and these I intend on keeping. 

My New Years Resolutions:

1) Start up my etsy shop: I want to being making and selling crafts to make some extra money in college. It's more finding the time and the space (i live in a force triple) to do them. But I think I'll start small by posting just two products/month or something. Then I'll work my way up.

2) Blog more!: If I want to sell crafts, blogging will help get my business out there. I also love to blog but rarely/never do it. So I will try to find time at LEAST twice a week to blog about something.

3) Get healthier: I know, I know. This is on EVERYONE'S list. But I do need it. I have a lot of medical problems that would benefit greatly from just simply eating right and exercising daily and I know that I can do this. To stay on track, maybe I'll consider doing a weight progress post.

4) Save up my money: All my necessities are paid for through room & board. So why am I spending money? I don't want to live with my parents after graduation and would LOVE to have enough for a down payment or at least a good starter for rent, right out of college. I can do that by saving all my money and coins. & If I must go shopping, I will go thrifting (cheap & awesome) that I can post about as well.

I have a much more detailed list of my own but this will do for now.

(What are some of your New Years Resolutions?)

Now, here's Weaver....being cute.

Sunday Seven....or SUPER SUNDAY!

Yes. I have way more than seven things I want to show you and therefore, I've changed it to Super Sunday instead. :D

These Watermelon cookies look simply delicious and beautiful. I will most definitely bake these and let you guys know how they are! Or you bake them & tell me. The recipe can be found here.

HOW AWESOME IS THIS SCARF?? i LOVE secret pockets and sleeves and such and this is PERFECT! I want to make this sooo badly.

A basket made out of...maps? YES! This might be my second 'map' thing but I don't care I love this! I've never weaved before but I'll give it a shot :)
