Snow

8 inches of snow predicted today- I kinda regret not putting my winter tires on my bike.

TGIF!: The Revillos - Rev-Up

Greedy

 I have been fighting with Martha Stewarts' magazine company for over 2 weeks. When I renewed my subscription I was given a free gift subscription for a friend. I also had a 10% off coupon for my subscription. When I looked at my credit card statement, they didn't give me the 10% off and then I got a bill for my gift subscription. I sent emails to explain and got back ones saying that I was wrong. So I finally said cancel my subscription and credit me my money for subscription for 2012- they said they would. I feel like they make it so difficult so people will just give in and pay it. Now I get to tell my friend that she's not getting the magazine- it makes me look cheap, like she's not worth the $27. Keep your pretty picture magazine, with your too complex recipes and useless tips. Your greed has ruined our relationship.

 Recycle your computer- you can order a kit at Macquarium. Neato!



Fish tanks look so pretty when they're clean and so bad when they are dirty.

Clarity

 I tidy up for a living. It's what I do and I love it. I provide clarity and increase productivity for others. Today I am dealing with a bathroom that looks like this- the best way to tackle it is to take everything off and designate homes for everything.

Birch & Bird Vintage Home Interiors

 Liy and Rachel opened an etsy store called Birch and Bird. They turned their passion for thrifting, simple living, and great design into a thriving business. These are pictures of Lilys' home- it's a revolving door of vintage treasures!

 
This is how I decorate- mixed patterns, texture, and color. I love it!


 I went to their shop on etsy and bought this metal tray that is going to hang in my bathroom. I have recently developed an online shopping addiction- I'll stop as soon as I have everything I want.

Fashionable Footwear

Merrell Wilderness Remix Boots
This is my version of stylish bike footwear. Merrell boots are the most comfortable boots I've ever worn- I get a new pair every year. These are my options this season. The Wilderness Remix boot has a removable down leg warmer that you can use in other boots. A down leg warmer? Gimme!





Merrell Martina Boots
 Espresso, Boulder, or Black- the worst part of this boot is picking which color- I want them all!





High Heel Clipless Bike Shoes

 I saw these hand made wooden bike shoes on instructables.com

 Side view is nice but that's about it- why is it so difficult to find stylish bike shoes that aren't sporty?

 Do these look comfortable to you? Sorry, but comfort is key- nice workshop project though.
