SuNsEt cLiFfS

Since everyone seems to be all about the "Throwback Thursday" theme, yes I'm talking about those people who insist on posting baby pictures of themselves every... freakin'... Thursday on every social networking site, so I thought I'd share a not as obnoxious TBT of some breathtaking pictures from when we visited California this past summer!

These are the Sunset Cliffs located in San Diego, California!

This was probably one of the highlights of our trip, I've never seen or walked to the edge of cliffs before, so this was completely a new experience for me!

 

Feel free to save this and make it your phone or computer background ;)

We all had to stop and pose for a picture of course!

Ryan got a little closer to the edge than Mom wanted...

Do you see that person to left? That's my mom! That shows you how massive these cliffs are!

 

I didn't take this gorgeous picture but I saw it, and couldn't help but include it on this post! To give you an idea, we took pictures from all the way over towards the left

P.S Does anyone else noticed that one funny lonely looking rock in the middle there?

Tuesday Tips: Don't Take Crap From Anyone!



Now I know this is easier said than done. But once you do it you will feel a weight lift off your shoulders I promise! I wish I had taken this advice wayyy sooner. If people treat you horribly, they in no way deserve your kindness or your friendship. This may seem like a no brainer, but trust me people make this mistake all the time (I'm one of those people, but not anymore!). Stop being that puppy dog who follows around that one friend or group of friends just to gain their approval or friendship. Friends are suppose to help, love, and support you, not bring you down! You are way better than that, you are awesome, and you deserve awesome friends in return of your awesomeness. Don't let someone walk all over you. Why should you be nice to someone who treats you like crap? Treat people the way you want to be treated!

You tell those mean people to talk to the hand and move on!

Tip: If the person who treats you like crap is your boss, do not use the talk to the hand method, I recommend, as my granddad always says, just to smile and nod.

Lilly Pulitzer Binder Covers

In honor of everyone going back to school, whether to middle, high school, or college everyone needs a binder or two (or 5!) to help get them organized for the upcoming year. If you are lucky enough to have already completed all your schooling then this post could still apply to you! You could use these binder covers for reports, or at home organization, like recipes or organizing finances (fun fun!).

I honestly hate using binders, just because they become heavy heavy heavy with paper, but they are great for organization, and many of my teachers require them this year so I had to give in. So I was determined to make them look as pretty as possible and I have succeeded!!

 

Here's how to do it!

1. Google Lilly Pulitzer patterns, pick out your favorites, try to pick the ones that are big (1,000 x 1,000)
2. Copy the image
3. Open up Word and paste the image onto a new Word document
4. Rotate the image if needed, and expand it to cover the entire page (I couldn't get mine to fill the entire page so I left a couple inches of empty space at the bottom of the page and just cut it off when I printed it
5. Once you get the image to fill as much of the page as you can, insert a text box, where a title is going to be, and type in what you'd like it to say (Chemistry, Recipes, etc.)
6. For an extra bit of pizazz match the color of your title to the Lilly pattern you picked!
7. Print, punch in holes if needed, and enjoy!!
