Galetines Day❤️

Happy Galentines day/week/whatever you want to call it! If you have yet to watch Parks and Recreation, Galentines day (invented by the amazing Leslie Knope) is on February 13th, and its a day where you just hang out with all your wonderful gal pals, single or not.  Even though this year I have a wonderful Valentine, whom I'm excited to spend Saturday with, I'm completely fine with anyone who struggles with this holiday, you know why? Because Valentines days sucks when your alone! Every other year I was the girl that bitched and moaned about how stupid Valentines day is and all it was good for is stimulating the economy blah blah blah continue on with the sob story.  Even if you try really hard to not make a big deal out of it, those pesky little emotions settle in, open a bag of Cheetos, and stay in your heart until they feel they've effectively ruined your day.  I cant guarantee Galentines day will make February 14th any better for those of you avoiding it, but heck I'm giving you a reason to hang out with all your favorite lady people! Here's a couple ideas to have a super awesome Galentines day!

1.  Although its not occurring on February 13th, West Acres Theater is playing Magic Mike for five dollars tonight(Monday)!! No not the new one, hence the reason its only five dollars.  Does this film have any plot or main point? No. Is is fun to go to a movie with a bunch of women screaming over Channing Tatum? Yes! Before you hit up the show kick back and have a drink with your gals! (Only for those 21 and over), my apologies if cant participate in some gal drinking time, but in all honestly I really enjoy the slushies at the theater.  Half blue half red is the best way to go. Ok sorry, back to drinks with the girls. Chillies which is conveniently located near west acres theater has margaritas, wine, and domestic taps for three dollars on Mondays, your welcome.  Do not drink and drive! Please drink responsively and have a designated driver to get you home safely.

2. Option two! Wine and Netflix! You know what lets just make this a 21 and over blog for today.  I seriously love buying a nice bottle of wine (nothing over $12 dollars, I'm in college duh) laying around the house with my roomies and binge watching Netflix.  For wine I suggest Stella Rosa, a sparkling moscato, and for Netflix I suggest Parks and Recreation...obviously

3. Something me and my roommates enjoy doing is going to clay your way.  Make something for a valentine you might have forgotten about, a niece, an aunt, a friend, whoever!

I hope you enjoyed this post I truly enjoyed writing it!!

Tall People Problems

A problem that has haunted me since about 5th grade, my damn long legs.  Remember when you had to transition from junior clothes to ladies/men's, and how difficult and frustrating it was to find a brand and size that would fit your awkward body...That's what it's like every time I try to find jeans. Jeans are either long enough and too big in the waist, or good in the waist but too short.  I'd like to get something off my chest.  Short people always say they have problems finding jeans too... NEWS FLASH! You can get your jeans hemmed for a low price.  Theres about a 1/100 chance I would be able to lengthen a pair of jeans that were too shorrt.  Sorry I needed to say that...  Dont give up on finding jeans that are long enough for you! After years of frustrated shopping I have tips and tricks for finding clothes for your long limbs. 

1. Give up on the mall! If your lucky enough to find a store that carrries longs, theres a small chance any of your sizes are left.  The best thing to do is shop online.  Find a store that carries longs, or inseams that go over 33". Go to their website and order a couple sizes to ensure you find a pair that fits.  My number one location for long jeans is Gap.  Not only do their jeans come in long, but extra long! Like what?! Holy moses we found the mother load.  There's actualy jeans from Gap that are to long for me, thats never happened.  Another store that carries longs is American Eagle.  Some of their bootcut jeans are too short for me but there skinnies and jeggings fit perfectly.  I would solely buy American Eagle jeans but Gap's tend to stay true to size, and keep shape after each wear and wash.  

2. If you don't already, learn to love skinny jeans.  It is SO much easier to find a pair of well fit skinnies then boot or ankle cut.  That's all I have to say about that tip, sorry thats not to hard to explain.

3.  Sleeves that are the proper length don't exist.  Although some garments like dress shirts (men's especially) and winter jackets need to go to your wrists, majority of other long sleeve items can be altered to hide the fact their too short.  Even if I'm lucky enough to find sleeves with the proper length, I still roll or push them up out of habbit.  I actually prefer rolled sleeves, it gives an uptight dressy look a touch of fun.  

I hope this helps all of my long legged friends! Short friends dont take offense, but seriously your problem is way easier!! ;)
