"...This life is made up of little things-little things that count a great deal. I believe that the little things are of great importance in our relationship with ourselves, in our relationship with others, and in our relationship with God." - Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

I'm just your typical girl who loves to lay around in sweats, a messy bun and spend quality time with those she loves. I've learned that it's the little things in life that makes it so beautiful. Even when life gets hard, little things like a smile or a simple "I love you" can make all the difference. I truly believe in this. Never think that your life doesn't matter - it does. It matters for eternity. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And I am a Christian.

The Truth Of The Matter Is...

I really don't know how to shop.
I always envy the girls in the high end expensive clothes.
However, I do consider myself a good bargain shopper.
Lately I've been getting a lot of compliments on my choice
of clothing and the mascara I use.
In all honestly, I hardly ever spend a lot of mula on clothing.
Unless they're jeans, then I go above
the average amount of spending.
But...why buy expensive clothes when you can buy inexpensive
clothes that look pricey??
Today for example.
I went to church and got so many compliments
for my outfit!
Here is where I got my outfit for the day...

Super cute, soft pink, floral top
$19.80 at Forever21

Dark Grey, high waist, knee length skirt
$9.80 at Forever21
Really cute, tan brown, at least 3-4 inch heel, with bow
$12.99 at Thrift Town in Fremont
(should of painted my toe nails! oh well)

Twisted Silver bracelet and gold ring with name engraved inside
FREE (the joy of getting gifts from people!!)

So in total, my outfit today came to a whopping total of...
$42.59!
Which, may seem expensive but
where do you find heels for 13 bucks?
A MODEST skirt for what, 10 bucks?
The top, yeah, I could of found something cheaper
but I could of found something like that at Nordstroms
easily for probably 40 bucks.
So in the end, I saved and shopped pretty good I must say!

Now, choice of mascara!
I LOVE Covergirl Lash Blast!
It's a bit pricey, about 8 or 9 bucks for one tube.
BUT...it works and compared to other places like
MAC, Estée Lauder, Clinique, Mary Kay, etc...
$10 is a WHOLE lot better then $25-40!!

That is my two cents worth for the day.
