Smart, Pretty & Awkward

How to be Smarter: The best laundry time-saving tip I’ve discovered is to buy all your socks the same color and brand; they can all just get thrown in a drawer together, and any two you grab will automatically match.

How to be Prettier: Instead of making a point to drink X number of glasses of water a day, just work at always having a glass of water within arm’s reach. If the water is there, you will drink it without needing to put too much thought into it.

How to be (less) Awkward: Cute Kate Spade Valentine’s cards to send to your girlfriends today, and an offbeat last-minute Valentine’s gift for a insect-loving sweetie.

    The smarter idea is genius and would be a total time saver! I always have water an arm’s length away, it definitely helps to keep filling it up as the day goes by.

    You saved my Valentine’s day with the roach-naming idea. I’m on a tight budget and my boyfriend had gotten me something extravagant anyway, and I just wanted something unique and fun…I saw your post and instantly came up with a bunch of love-bug themed presents. I made a whole package of little bug gifts and he loved it!

    Thank you! :)

    Love the thing about water – it totally works! Another thing to take into account is that it also works with other things – like chips and cookies. I find if I just take the amount of cookies I feel okay having and put the rest away, I’m much more likely to stick to that amount than if I just have the bag next to me while I watch TV. In that case I’m far more likely to eat the whole bag without realizing it!
