The month that must not be named

OK, February is always the hardest month for me here in Seattle.  The gray lasts so long here that once the new beginning feeling of January is over it just turns into a waiting game.  Us Seattle-ites are patient patient people, especially this year.  I know I won't feel warmth until July, but hey, some sunshine is going to be my new bfffff.

To start things off, here is a little email I received the other day:

 I was going to do a full outfit post, but this girl is feeling a bit self conscious today.  A picture from my first outfit post was put onto a "faTshionista" pinboard on Pinterest.  WHAT??!!  I think it was meant as a compliment, but I gotta say........ it doesn't really feel like one.  I immediately went and ran up the 112 stair staircase next to our apartment.  And ate salad for lunch.  ha!  Kind of funny now, but it was a bit rough to take in. 

Anyways......... get to shoppin and use that discount code peeps! 

Here were some highlights, reminding me that I had some pretty good things happening in the month that must be named after all!

I made a little heart book marker.  Mine is currently holding my place in a Storm of Swords. :)

Some very sweet bloggers made me feel like a special lady this month.  I know I've said it before, but I am still always blown away at how supportive the blogging world is.  Love you guys!

Some more heart shaped Valentine's crafts.  This time, a heart doily.

Had my first product review AND outfit post in one.  Had a lot of fun with this.  And I refuse to let anyone get me down!!!! 

Decided on my wedding colors, red white and yellow.  Hooray!

I made some spiced pear cider.  mmmm......

Finally, I made some at home orange body scrub.  This one was my favorite!

Well...... that's it for this dreary February (I mean, month that must not be named)!  I'm uber excited for March.  I'm taking off for a week to see my best friend in New Mexico, then the sun should start a shinin when I get back!

Cheers to a new Spring in March.
