Angry Birds Are Everywhere

Am I the only person that doesn't like angry birds? Everywhere I go there is some piece of Angry Bird merchandise. Whether it's the plush toys, the card game, the bird toss, the t-shirts, the jewelry, the costumes, and everything else. They are relentless. And there are like 4 versions of the game. Who really cares this much about Angry Birds?

The game isn't even original! I used to play an old flash game online in middle school with the same exact premise. It just wasn't little birds, and pigs. I really don't understand the appeal. Sure, it's a halfway decent game, but nowhere near as good as everyone seems to think. I mean, it's not good enough to have so many types of merchandise. It honestly shouldn't have any merchandise other than the original game, and maybe a second game. Unfortunately they're just going to keep milking the cow until it's dry. I don't even want to see what comes out next.

A Chic Way to Organize Makeup

I have never kept a clean makeup drawer. It is always a jumbled mess and takes me forever to find what I'm looking for. Tim and I drink tons of coffee and I decided to recycle an old coffee canister and an old pickle jar and clean up my makeup mess.

I used:

-Coffee canister for makeup brushes

-Pickle jar for lipgloss

-One piece of scrapbook paper

-Mod podge

One of my favorite things

I have decided to share with you my love affair of Pinterest. If you don't know what it is let me fill you in. People "pin" what they like from all over the web, whether it is tasty recipes or how to wrap the perfect gift for Christmas. If you are not already a member, join now! You won't regret it.

I have gotten so many ideas for our apartment off this website. With Christmas just around the corner I plan to make my packages the best under the tree with this cute idea. I have to change the color scheme a bit, because my mom only allows packages to be solid gold, silver, green, or red, but I can make it work.

Happy wrapping!

The Geek and the Chic

It all started with a boy and a girl going to Africa. Brittney was my roommate and Alex was his friend. They went to Africa for school and when they came back they were friends who did everything together. Alex invited Tim to the bars, Brittney invited me to the bars and that is how the Geek met the Chic.
A year and a half later with one adorable Mountain Cur and one messy but amazing apartment we are sharing our stories and tricks of the trade of how a geeky guy and chic lady manage to live together, go to college, and still have fun.
