Important News: My Secret!!

Hello my wonderful readers.
I have put a lot of time and thought into this, and I think that you all should know..
When I started blogging, I used "Bellesme" as a nickname, it was a name I made up and I used it to protect my identity, etc. But now that I have gotten into blogging, I really just want to share more and do things like outfit posts. So I started a new blog. But I wasn't sure if I should tell everyone on here, and I thought about it for a long time. It is a hard decision! But in the end, I decided I could keep this blog, but I will probably be blogging on my new blog, which is.....

*drumroll*
http://fatimasfavorites.blogspot.com

and yes, my name is Fatima =)

I hope all of my followers and readers follow me on there where I hope to do much more than I ever did on this blog. Its like a fresh new chapter in my life, and I'm excited! As for this blog... I really do like "Bellesme" its become, well, me. I don't want to delete this blog, but I don't know if I will continue to use it. Maybe as an extra blog, like the second channel youtubers have. Now that I mention it, I do want to do youtube videos too, but thats another story.. one step at a time =)

See you all on Fatima's Favorites! :)

I Have a confession....

Ooooo, is it a haul? Nope.

 

I have/had an obsession with bags. Plastic shopping bags. I saved them, cute mini ones, different ones, special shops, etc. but I cleaned through them about a week ago and decided to share with you... Since it kind of has to do with shopping. Right?

I have them categorized into large, medium and smalls. I do like really weird and extreme things, so the extra mini and extra large bags are probably my favorite.

The mini bags in order

 

Mini bags! They're just too cute right? The one on the right is from Turkey =P its the little farmers market bag you put fruits and stuff in.

 

Comparison to see how tiny and cute the target bag is!!!! (I know I sound like a lunatic...)

The paper bags and some gift bags

 

L- I'm not sure why I have these lunch bags... maybe because they're mini...

R- Mini gift bags and paper bags

EXTRA large bags, those three are on my bed and they cover it. And I actually fit into the Target ones...

The reason this came out now is because I decided to clean out my bags!!!!!! Yes! I used to have

about 135 bags, 16 large, 35 medium, about 50 small and 32 cardboard and now I have.....35!!! 3 Large, 7 medium, 10 small and 15 cardboard!

I know you guys will never see me the same again, yes I'm crazy. So what obsessions do you have? I would love to know.

You're so Lucky!

Hey everyone!
It's Thanksgiving! My Econ teacher recently showed us a 30 days episode {info here}where they try to live in Ohio on minimum wage. The guy and his wife both work, and live in a cold and tiny house in a not-so-safe neighborhood, and it really shows the troubles they go through like difficulty buying food, what happens when you get sick, etc.

I really recommend you watch it, I think its only about 45 minutes. It really shows how much trouble people have with living off of minimum wage. And this couple doesn't even have kids! In comparison to them, we (and I'm sure most of my readers) have such an amazing lifestyle to the point that almost everything for us is excess, and not even a necessity. 

You may think "Well what can I do?". You can do anything. Literally. If you aren't very wealthy, then volunteer. If you don't have any time at all-donate! You can donate food, clothes, house appliances, or even money.

For me the most important thing that I have noticed is waste. Especially on holidays where food is an integral part (hint hint: Thanksgiving). Please, please, please don't take more than you can eat! I know its difficult if someone else puts your food on a plate for you, but just ask if you can do it yourself.
And if any food is left over-throw it in a far corner in your backyard for the animals and bugs. Just don't throw it away. I think this is what really hurts me the most. A little bit of me dies inside when I see people throw full plates of food in the trash at school.

I hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving, please think of the homeless and hungry when you have your Thanksgiving feast. And remember not to waste!

I'm thankful for all of you guys <3

Much Loved Shoes

Can you tell I'm busy? I've been posting once a month-crazy!

Today I wanted to share with you guys some shoes that I absolutely love(d) but they got really old and after getting wet at the beach they became disgusting, and I had to find a new pair, because they are so comfortable. So I went on Ebay! =)

Before

After!

Comparison

See what I mean? I've had those shoes for such a long time.....

Do you have any pieces you just can't live without?

Miss you guys!
