Perfect gift for her this V-day.

Alligator Alley is my favorite pet store in Oklahoma City. I'm not like most girl. I think reptiles are great! I actually have a pet ball python names LeRoy.

Meet LeRoy :)

Anyways, I follow Alligator Alley on Facebook.

They posted a link to the Bronx Zoo's website and said you could name a Roach for your valentine.

HILARIOUS!

So I thought I would share with those who still dont know what to get that special someone.

Every girl wants a Roach named after them. Haha!!

Click here to get your love a special gift. ;)

Superbowl 2012

The Superbowl is a big deal right? Most people choose a team and cheer them on. Others, like myself, watch for the commercials. 

Since I am an Advertising major and all I pick them apart and always have things I like or don't like. 

After the game for the next few days America votes on the best commercials of the game.

I disagree with them this year. 

My favorite commercial this year isn't getting the credit it deserves.

I wanted to give it a little love on my blog. 

I hope you love it too. They did a great job!

Cheap Acrylic

I'm not a real big "girly girl" but like most girls out there I love to have my nails done.
My finger nails do grow REALLY fast which is cool.. but.. I have a tendency to bite my nails :-/

(Horrible habit I know)

I wouldn't mind going to get my nails done if it didn't cost a arm and a leg.

This girl is BROKE! I cant afford to pay 40 dollars for some fake fingers.

Anyway..

I saw at walmart the acrylic nail "do it yourself" kits.

I was interested but thought to myself "There is NO way you could do that. The left hand might look okay. but the right would look like a 3 year old did it" so I never bought one.
Well I broke down yesterday and bought a kit at walmart. The box said easy for beginners, and it was less than $10 SCORE.

Well they don't lie. It was super easy! I did mess up on one nail and had to take it off and try again, but it was my first time.

It happens.

They look just like they do when you spend 40 dollars and at least an hour out of your day to go get them done. It only took me about 15 minutes to finish and I'm super impressed.

I will buy these again.

Button Bracelet

I saw a really cute bracelet on Pinterest the other day so I made my own, and you can too!

First double up your string and tie a knot in the end

Next cross the strings through the button holes.

(This can be done with buttons which have two or four holes)

 

(Sorry they are blurry)

Continue this until the braclet fits your wrist. The last button you use can slip threw the loop you made at the begining to fasten the bracelet.

And your done.

Blog-- How to

There are tons of blogs and websites that help you learn how to blog and how to make whatever you have to talk about stand out to your readers.

We discussed a few of these websites in class and our job was to find our own website that helps you create a blog post people want to read.

I found the social media examiner website. I thought this website was really helpful because it not only helps you figure out how to write your post but how to do it without taking all day long.

• Plan your writing
• Create a headline bank
• Time yourself. Watch the clock.
• Use the "series approach" 
• Get to "the meat of the problem"

 Check it out for yourself. Social Media Examiner

Technorati

Technorati.

We had a class assignment to view this website and read allllll about bloggers over the years. They asked them a million questions about how, where and when they blog and then assembled about 300 flow charts and pie charts of their data.

This part did not really interest me. Maybe if I hadn't been up since 6:30 with no coffee.

The cool part about this website is that they have a list of blogs they follow and it is put into categories. I will be checking that section out from time to time to find fun/artsy blogs to inspire me, but for now I have had all of Technorati I can take.
