Walk Farther. Feel Better

So since I'm going to New York for Thanksgiving, I thought that was a good excuse to start some winter shopping by buying some winter boots!

Problem was that it was more frustrating than fun, I went to Nordys, Macy, Nine West, and some other stores and all I could find were either shoes that were too over priced for the quality of the shoe or a good price but they made me look like a pirate!

So I finally came to Clarks, I wanted to go there but my dad said those look like old lady shoes, but we went in there anyway, and there are some old lady sheos, but also some really cute classic shoes as well!

So I tried some on, and I felt like I was walking on clouds, literally.

These boots both have a little heel, but they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, and thats saying something since I praise Toms shoes for the same thing, but Toms have been beat by Clarks in my book.

So needless to say I bought both pairs, so what? Even though I saw a bunch of women my moms age shopping there, I like them and I plan to shop there in the future!

When I checked online I was not suprised that their motto is Walk Farther. Feel better.

These shoes are amazing!
And to properly thank Clarks shoes company I am advertising them shamefully on my blog!

Here is their main online store

and they also have a line called Indigo, the brand that both of my boots are from

Also, I took some pictures of the boots I got! I am so excied to wear them!

The Android

Well, today is the first time in my Highschool career that I have slept in, I know this seems odd, but I am an ealy riser so this problem never happens to me! I blame my sleeping to my phone the anroid, this phone truly is the worst phone I have ever had!  It drops calls, no one can hear me on it, and sometimes I dont get text messages. But today I found out that it lies, last night when I went to bed it said the battery is at 15 % and I thought that is enough for that night, and I know that if it dies, the box for the phone said that it would turn on to give my alarm. Well this moring at exactly 6:54 I realized that this is a lie. So my advice don't buy this phone stay and stay away from it!



On a side note, I have officailly started applying to BYU and BYU-I which is exciting and scary all at the same time!

Halloween Decorations

Since my dream major in College is Interior Design, I asked my parents if I could practice my talents by decorating for Halloween!

Here is my final product!




 I saw this cool idea about spray painting you'r pumpkins silver, we just added some gold accents and voila!

                                                 Here is what  I call the gothic corner

 In these pictures are Theda Bara and Alfred Hitchcock, two Hollywood stars that evoke Halloween

 I had to add Edgar and his Raven, for  the two silhouettes I pasted them on some old scripted paper, that I printed from the internet
I had a hard time trying to think of a woman gothic writer, the only person I could come up with is Emily Bronte who wrote Wuthering Heights
 There is a woman who has a great interior design business she had something like this in her house, So I tweaked it a little and came up with this!
 Here is just wall stickers that I found at Target, the nice thing is they come off easily with no damage to the walls yes!

 This was fuller but we have been snacking on these!




 Martha Stewart Design has these great paper crows, that I got from Michaels, I just taped it on the plate



Saw some great masks at Pier One that cost about $20 dollars here is my take on one of their masks

A blogging newbie

So yes, I have started a blog! I didn't expect to be super excited to start one but I am!
It took me forever to figure out a creative title for my new bog and I came up with a touch of humor, don't ask me what it means, because frankly I have no idea myself, the idea came to me after I took another dose of medicine that prompltly put me to sleep. One of those moments of genius, that only come when your not mentally all the way there. Now as for why I started blogging I have to give the credit to my friend Marissa and President Uchtdorf.  The other day, I was reading her blog and I thought it looked like alot of fun, but it also made me think of President Uchtdorf's General Conference talk on slowing down and focussing on and enjoying the fundamentals, I think a blog can help me slow down and help me reflect on the blessings in my life.

As for my plans for today, I plan to celebrate the first day in a while that I actually feel healthy! YAY!
And the way I will be celebrating is to continue decorating the house for Halloween!  I'll post back soon when I'm done with some pictures!
