I’ve been hanging around online today going through blogs and street style sites and thought I’d share some with y’all. I was also sort of killing time while waiting for the mail to come - I ordered the “Rattatouille” movie for Munchkin on Netflix (love, love, love my Netflix even if I do only get one movie at a time now. Budget cuts.. boo!) and we’re going to watch it while eating dinner. I was hoping to wait until later for dinner but my stomach is awful grumbley today and I think I’m going to go heat up some veggies & rice. Hubby’s off playing air-soft all day today so he doesn’t get a choice in dinner… and my stomach (as well as our budget.. have you SEEN the price of meat lately??) could use some veggies. I thought about doing a veggie curry but realized that we don’t have any cauliflower.. which sort of makes Aloo Gobi (potatos & cauliflower curry) a little hard to do.
Have a great day y’all!

Change the Margins — a great idea on how to use less paper when printing documents via your computer!
No Shampoo instructions —How to use vinegar & baking soda instead of shampoo. I’m planning on trying this very soon both for frugal reasons and the fact that I’m highly allergic to most shampoos on the market. Go right ahead and look at me like I’m crazy.. but I use regular bar soap or Dr.Bronner’s Peppermint liquid soap on my hair. I will say though that I have very thick and strong hair that can withstand any abuse and ill-treatment without falling out..
Wardrobe Remix Flickr Pool — I love looking at street fashion photos and this is one of my new(er) favorite places to waste time. I think the thing I enjoy most about this site and these photos is the thought that went into these outfits. I also love that its a lot of thrift store finds and not about brand new or designer duds. Looking cute does NOT require a trust fund or huge paycheck… and the thrift store finds are also nice for environmental reasons. Reuse & re-purpose! (ok.. ok.. I’ll shut up. Sometimes my granola-crunching, birkenstock wearing, inner hippy comes out and I can’t help it.)
HEL Looks– Street fashion photos from Helsinki, the capital of Finland. I love the write ups on the side about what they are wearing and WHY they are wearing it. Some of the ‘inspirations” are funny too. I also love their wild use of colors and accessories. This site tends to inspire me creatively and makes me happy. (especially scarves.. anyone who knows me IRL knows how much I love me some scarves. One of these days I really need to organize and photograph my growing collection.)
