Day 354

Another detail of dresses that I love is buttons down the back. I am not a fan of this dress, but the buttons are so pretty! :) I think they add a really elegant touch to gown :)

Day 353

Today the thankful detail is a high neck. This is something that you don't see very often but I think it can be extreamly beautiful and sexy! It keeps you covered, yet if it's lace you can still see everything. These are so few that they also are extreamly unique when you wear them, and every bride wants to look unique on her wedding day! I am so thankful for high necked dresses! :)

Day 352

This next five days I would like to explore the things that every bride should be thankful for on a wedding dress or any girl thankful for on any fancy dress :) Today is detailing. Detailing is such a wonderful thing, it can take a bland dress to being a couture dress with just added some detail to it :)

Day 351

The way I am most thankful for recycling, reusing grocery bags. I use plastic grocery bags, but instead of tossing them when I get home I reuse them. I use them to clean up dog poo, clean out my car, in my little trash can in my room, and all sorts of ways! There are a lot of ways you can use them that is efficient. I am so thankful for grocery bags, I'm not sure what I'd do without them honestly :)

Day 350

Today is use more pencils! :) Now I know that these were what people used to use all of the time, so I am more or less just thankful that we still have them. The plastic from the pens and mechanical pencils is never really mentioned but I bet it is a very large portion. So why not use old fashion pencils?! That is what I am doing this whole semester and so far it is working out just fine! I just had to get into the habit of remembering to sharpen them, but that wasn't too difficult. Ditch your mechanical pencils and plastic pens! :)

Day 349

Something that I am in the process of getting is reusable water bottles. I am reusing my water bottles as of right now, but they don't hold up very well lol So, I am in the process of getting sturdy water bottles to use instead :) Ones like in the picture, I absolutely LOVE those!! I am so thankful that they make these :)

Day 348

Today I am thankful for the fact that I live with a family that uses things to their death lol Some people get rid of their things once they start wearing or once they're out of style but I always learned to use things to their full potential. For instance, I boght something that had one triple A battery in it about 6 years ago and it still has the same battery. Yes, sometimes I have to hit it to get it to work, but once I do that it works perfectly fine and I have saved tons of money by using the same one :) I do that with everything, once you think that something has reached it's limit, it usually has 9 more years on it! :)

Day 347

This week is ways to go green! I think we should all do a little something to help this lovely earth :) I am not an enviornmentalist at all. But I do know that I waste so much so I am trying to do better! So these are the ways that I am most thankful for in my life that I can use easily :) Today is electronics. I use a lot of paper on a daily basis, I am very old school. Honestly if I could live without a computer and phone and efficiently talk to people I would. I hate technology lol But I don't have a choice so I try and embrace it :) But I think that going more electronic with things helps with the paper and the time that you could use else where and much more! :)

Day 346

My most thankful way to save! Something that I am thankful for that we now have a choice is whether to have flowers or not. Some people don't think it's a wedding without flowers (personally it's not a funeral without flowers) and some could care less. I am anti flowers lol I love getting flowers from people I love and such but I kill them so quickly, you can ask my Fiancé. I feel it is pointless to have them at your wedding when they're dead that night. So, I am saving a TON of money by not having one flower at the wedding. I will substitute them out for other less conventional things!

Day 345

Something else that I and my fiancé are doing is not having cake. It's a tradition that is not important to me and I think that it is a money waster. Now some people think that it's important so that might not be the way to save for you, but I am so thankful that there is at least the option now. They used to sometimes only have the cake as food. Not our style :)

Day 344

Today I am thankful for deejays! Instead of paying a bunch of money we are going to have a dj do our wedding. They are incredibly cheaper than a live band and they can play whatever music you like instead of of just stickin to what they can do. I think that this is a great idea and it totally helps you save on your wedding bill! :)

Day 343

The way I am thankful to save on my wedding for today is simple wedding bands. I feel like we live in such a I need more type of society and I think that 9 times outta 10 a simple wedding band mkaes your engagment ring look even more beautiful! I love the simple look to these beautiful rings! :)

Day 342

This next five days is all about saving money for your wedding. There are quite a few things I am doing to save money for my wedding and I figured I would share these awesome things with you! :) Today is simply diy. I am so thankful for diy projects! Doing things like making your own invitations or even centerpieces were not as easily accessible as they are today. So I am going big on diy to cut my bill considerably! I am thankful for diy! :)

Day 341

The dog I am most thankful for is a Schipperke! Most people have not heard of this amazing dog, sadly. Whenever we would take him out no one knew what kind of dog he was. He is the most amazing dog I have ever met! He was a guard dog, he would kill anyone who tried to come and hurt us. Even our friends if he thought they were hurting us. He charged my friends more than once. He had a wonderful sence of who was a good or bad person. If a person came to the house who was a good person, he would love them, if not he'd try and take a body part haha! Yet when we took him on walks he was the friendliest dog. He would love getting petted and be extreamly friendly. He also hated beiing in the house, he was deffinetly an outside dog. Unless there was a thunder storm. Nothing scared him except that, he'd always try and run into the house then :) He was very loving to us. If someone was a part of the family he would have guarded and protected them with his life. He loved all of us. He was extreamly smart too, but very hard headed. He knew a number of tricks, but if he wasn't in the mood there was no way he'd do it haha! I cannot wait to get another of this breed. He was a truely amazing and wonderful dog! :)

Day 340

Today the dog I am most thankful for is a Husky! Now I am going to be completely honest, I have no clue about Huskys. This is why I am thankful for them. I think that they are the most beautiful breed of dog that I have ever seen. I could watch one all day honestly. They move beautifully and their coat is absolutely gorgeous! I am thankful for this breed because of how lovely it looks! :)

Day 339

Today is a Golden Retriever. To me the this and the Lab are two in the same. They are great dogs for hunting, and loyalty, and will gaurd you no matter what. The Golden Retiever is slightly more difficult to teach and they have differeneces in grooming. These really are tied in my books, especially since they are so much alike. But they are beautiful dogs and great pets! :)

Day 338

Today is a lab! They are sooo cute! And great dogs. My Mom had one when she was younger and she would swear by these dogs. They are the more outdoor, rugged, needing space to run and play kind of dog. They will be your best friend, your hunting buddy, your playmate, and your guard. They are the all around dog! I am very thankful for these dogs and cannot wait to have one!

Day 337

Todays breed is an American Eskimo. I have had one of these. She was an absolutly beautiful dog! No doubt about it :) She was very loyal, and extreamly loving, and stayed if you let her lose and even was a fairly good hunter. She also ate anything in sight, peed when she got too excited, was not a watch dog in the least and was a dumb as a box of rocks lol She was the most gental dog, so sweet and kind to everyone. If you want a companion this is the perfect dog!

Day 336

As of yesterday, the start of a new blog topic is at hand. This week I am going to list the dogs I am most thankful for, as far as breeds go. Yesterday was a Chihuahua. I have a mix and I love her. She is yappy and not very good with kids, but she is so spunky and loving. She makes me feel loved when I don't at all. And happy on my worst of days. The chihuahua breed may get a bad rep, but I think they're awesome!

Day 335

Today the gift I am most thankful for is a candle. I think that you can never go wrong with this gift and that is why it is my top one. Whether you go for the tart, open flame, pretend, just scented or whatever. There are so many options! And then when it comes to scents. There is an unlimited supply! Candles are wonderful! And a fantastic gift for anyone :)

Dat 334

Today I am thankful for the gift of a throw. I love blankets and think that you can never have too many. So a throw is a lovely gift to get. You can find all sorts of different colors and patterens and fabrics. The selection is really versitile! I am thankful for these throws!

Day 333

Today the present that I am most thankful for is coffee/tea. These are wonderful and yummy gifts to get :) I am a fan of tea and my fiancé is a fan of coffee and tea also! So if you get both they will have to like one and possibly even both! These are awesome gifts! I am thankful for them!

Day 332

Today I am thankful for gift baskets! They are great for any age. You can make it kid or adult friendly. A gift basket is a great way to explore your options when you don't know the person as well. You can put so many different things in it and they'll have to like at least something in it! I am thankful for gift baskets!

Day 331

And today starts the new week and actually is the blog for the day! This week I am going to list presents that are great for everyone that I am thankful for! Today it is a book. This one truly is great for anyone and any age. There are so many things to choose froma and so many different age groups you can reach out to. A great idea for any occasion. I am thankful for books!

Day 330

Monday, the all time best thing to do when it's snowing is hike! At the beginning of this month me and my finace went hiking and it was wonderful! I love hiking in the cold. I also love hiking in the snow, more than just the cold. I went with my best friend and her family one weekend and it was so beautiful. How the falls were frozen and everything was covered with a white layer. Lovely! I am so thankful for hiking on snowy days!

Day 329

Sunday was museum. I really like museums. What a wonderful lesson that is right in front of you instead of in a book. The more real the better for me as a learner. Museums are usually friendly to every kind of person also, or you can find one that is age appropriate for you. I am thankful for museums, especially on a snowy day.

Day 328

Forgive my lateness. It has been a difficult time for me. Saturday the best thing to do when it's snowing is go to the aquarium. I love the aquarium. It's so cool in there! I went there with my finance once, and we had a nice time. We weren't crazy about it, but it also was really nice outside. I think we would have enjoyed it more if it was nasty out and we were nice and cozy inside. Wonderful place to go while it's snowy! I am thankful for it!

Day 327

Today is board games. Board games are a great way to pass the time and something that everyone can enjoy. And when it's snowing you can watch it fall or look at the snow laying on the ground glisten in the light. I'm thankful for this fun thing to do in the winter :)

Day 326

What I am going to blog about this next five days is the best things to do when it's snowing! Today is shopping. Whether it's a half out half in or all inside mall or strip, I enjoy shopping when it's snowing. I like being able to enjoy myself and watching the snow fall from inside the stores :) I am thankful for this :)
