Twenty Twelve

It's going to be a crazy year;

• The year I will graduate high school
• The year I will start college
• The year I will turn 18
• The year the world (will apparently) end
• The year I will start my new blog
• The year I plan to take classes on photography

and I'm sure there will be a lot more firsts and exciting things to come!

Happy New Year! =)

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!

Wake Me Up

When its all over.... second semester =)
Hey everyone! Its the last day of September, my last post was 27 days ago, and senior year is SO BUSY!
As much as I enjoy and love blogging, I honestly haven't had the time, and I haven't been feeling inspired. I forget to take pictures, I take too many pictures, I forget to take a picture of ONE thing, and then my little folder waits on my desktop until I finally make a blog post about it.
I've had bloggers, or even youtubers I've loved dissappear for a long time, and I know how it feels, if anyone actually loves my blog =) I decided I'm not going to come back and apologize for my absence every time I do a post because that just gets boring and unecessary. If any of you really truly miss me, you can find me on ~twitter~ because I absolutely love to talk =)

I just wanted to let you all know that I am alive, just uninspired, and so busy. Also, I want to do outfit posts, which I am SO excited for, except that I can only start second semester. And because it will have my name and my face, I don't want everyone to link up my name with Bellesme (which is made up) just yet, so that does mean I'll have to say goodbye to all of you readers ='( though maybe you'll find my second blog =)

Uno Dos Tres

Hey everyone!
I wanted to share with you guys a great deal I got today... actually a steal.  We went to TJMaxx and I saw this cute little cylinder shape straw purse, and then I saw the price, and my jaw dropped..

picture with flash

It was normally $19.99, but I obviously didn't pay that much. I didn't pay $16, $12, $10, $7, or even $5. (Those were all of the previous sale prices) I got it for $3. Yup. Three. Sweeeet. =)

without flash

Please share if you got any deals recently =)
