</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the past few months, I've been using some new products and they have been doing wonders for me. If you are on the hunt to try something different, here's a list of products you can add to your list. I'm basically giving you an excuse to do more shopping, so you're welcome.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtuqoZDRWC_Yx_-OzHG9hZ7l42N-F1X_akOKZPKZbAyM-5WIAnLOoGp3of2c_5sRmCtgKn2DYVoi8tU2UZPRY-o2BOVEBKuqe8vp4Z0B3LDXoYS21j3Xp22LKKjPFoRL22sYm6T70kq0Xg/s1600/IMG_2327.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtuqoZDRWC_Yx_-OzHG9hZ7l42N-F1X_akOKZPKZbAyM-5WIAnLOoGp3of2c_5sRmCtgKn2DYVoi8tU2UZPRY-o2BOVEBKuqe8vp4Z0B3LDXoYS21j3Xp22LKKjPFoRL22sYm6T70kq0Xg/s640/IMG_2327.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>1. Formula 10.0.6 Pores Be Pure Skin-Clarifying Mud Mask</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Using this mask about once or twice a week has really made a difference for my skin (I think, it could just be my mind). It's a light mask with a pleasant smell that isn't too strong, and it leaves you skin feeling super fresh.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>2. Lush Tea Tree Toner Water</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I like to spray this on my face before putting anything on it. It freshens up the skin and leaves a nice finish. I also love using this stuff as a setting spray. Does wonders.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>3. Lush 'Sweet Lips' Lip Scrub</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Who doesn't suffer from chapped lips, especially in colder weather? Do yourself a favor and get this scrub.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>4. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The most blendable drugstore concealer I've come across so far. I love using it to highlight as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>5. Vaseline Lip Therapy in Cocoa Butter</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This paired with the lip scrub has a magical effect. Hello, smooth lips.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>6. Zoya Pixie Dust Nail Polish in 'Godiva'</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm obsessed with nude nails so when I came across with glitter nude, I couldn't say no. It leaves an absolutely beautiful finish that's matte with a hint of sparkle. It's just perfection.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>7. Maybelline Color Tattoo in 'Bad to the Bronze'</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I wear this everyday. It adds depth to the eye and stays on all day with no creasing. I also use it as a base for more dramatic eye looks. Another favorite color in this line is "Tough as Taupe."<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>8. Maybelline The Rocket Mascara</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I have a love affair with this mascara and I refuse to wear anything else. One time, someone asked if I was wearing fake lashes when I was only wearing this mascara and I felt really cool.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>9.</b> <b>Milani Baked Blush in 'Red Vino'</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is a super pigmented, red blush. It's super feminine. Be very light-handed when using it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>10. Loreal True Match Foundation</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This foundation blends so well and makes the skin look so healthy. I love the glow it gives off.</div>
<br />
Happy shopping,<br />

Trayvon Martin was killed because he was racially profiled.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
And to deny that statement is like claiming slave owners didn't care about skin color. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
However, this case is different than most others because it points out that racial profiling against African Americans is not only committed by "white" people. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
George Zimmerman is a "mixed-race" Hispanic (I don't think Fox News realizes this yet). Some news organizations term him as a "white Hispanic." Well, does this make President Obama a "white black?" Someone explain to me how this works.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stereotypes against blacks in our communities exist. It's safe to say that we all, at least once in our lifetime, locked our car doors when we passed through "the bad part of town" or stopped at a traffic light by a black homeless man on the side of the road. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We boast of our country's first black president and celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.'s Day, but we become skeptical when our kids make black friends. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For a moment, forget about all the media speculations and political implications of the case. For a moment, let's just focus on the 17-year-old who did absolutely nothing to deserve death. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
George Zimmerman is guilty. We are guilty.<br />

This is so easy, it really shouldn't be considered a "DIY." It's more of an idea for what to do with all your necklaces, especially those statement ones! Storing necklaces can be kinda annoying. The chains always get tangled, and sometimes pieces would fall off my statement necklaces because they'd get caught on something. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So one day, while I was organizing my life, I decided to make better use of the cork board hanging on my wall. I arranged tacks on the cork board and just laid my necklaces over the tacks. And that's basically all there's to it. Not only do you have easy access to your necklaces, but they also won't get tangled with each other and it looks super cool on the wall. I also added a couple brand tags to give it some personality, ya knooow.</div>

So I saw this idea floating around on Pinterest and decided to give it a try. It turned out wonderfully! I mean, fruits and chocolate Swiss rolls together on a skewer, what more could one want?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I couldn't keep this refreshing treat to myself so here's how you can enjoy it too.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What you'll need:</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjrEeDM-PQ8gXdIfSLXuaxkYJO-mSDRJn2fV1ronoao2NfesBrwgoSr7N97DN-atCf_aOVpbgBVQrqdADLKiUk9QitpUYGGgfHktTmbNzDrgpmtuGbFftmgVLCrvxHQOjwHFUn3XdIcNtU/s1600/IMG_2125.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjrEeDM-PQ8gXdIfSLXuaxkYJO-mSDRJn2fV1ronoao2NfesBrwgoSr7N97DN-atCf_aOVpbgBVQrqdADLKiUk9QitpUYGGgfHktTmbNzDrgpmtuGbFftmgVLCrvxHQOjwHFUn3XdIcNtU/s400/IMG_2125.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fruits, Bamboo skewers, and Swiss Rolls</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stick the chocolate Swiss rolls in the freezer the night before for more yummy "kabobs." Slice up fruit of your choice and the cake. I used just pineapples and strawberries because that's all I had at the moment, but you can get cray with the fruit.</div>
<br />

Over the past few months, we have been obsessing over a few products and we thought we'd share some of our favorite "things" so you can obsess with us. Most of these products are beauty-related, but there are a couple of randoms that we couldn't hold back :)</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. BB Cream</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://img1.targetimg1.com/wcsstore/TargetSAS//img/p/14/30/14308060_121129140000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" id="irc_mi" src="http://img1.targetimg1.com/wcsstore/TargetSAS//img/p/14/30/14308060_121129140000.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="200" /></a>BB cream used to be only available through high-end brands, but recently, "drugstore brands" have released their own! The market is extremely popular right now with so many options, so you have to shop around for what you think will work best for your skin. Whether you decide to splurge with a high-end brand or play it safe with a drugstore brand, BB cream will become an everyday essential. It basically does everything you'd want a face product to do to make you feel absolutely fabulous! We personally recommend Revlon PhotoReady BB Cream, but we haven't had the opportunity to try a wide variety, so research before you go to buy.</div>
<br />
<a href="http://www.beautezine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Milani-Baked-Blush-in-Berry-Amore-483.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" id="irc_mi" src="http://www.beautezine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Milani-Baked-Blush-in-Berry-Amore-483.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="200" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Milani Baked Blush</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Words cannot express how beautiful these blushes are. They are exactly like high-end branded blushes without the hefty price. The color pay off is wonderful and it doubles as a highlighter without being glittery. It glides onto the skin and gives off a healthy, natural glow. Definitely a must-have!</div>
<a href="http://store.seventen.com/images/products/detail/BOFaceRosewaterToner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" id="irc_mi" src="http://store.seventen.com/images/products/detail/BOFaceRosewaterToner.jpg" style="margin-top: 47px;" width="200" /></a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Organic Face Rosewater Toner by Boots</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stumbled upon this at Target and it is basically a party for your face. This toner hydrates, wakes up, and refreshes your skin. It has a lovely faint scent of roses. You will always try to find an excuse to be able to apply thisto your skin because it simply feels amazing.</div>

There is nothing in this world that smells as wonderful as Voulspa Candles. Nothing. </div>

Did we mention they come in ridiculously cute tins? <3</div>

If you're going to stay organized, might as well stay organized in a cute manner, right? If we didn't have our pouches imprinted with bicycles and poodles, where would our lipsticks go?</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
We would like to give our condolences to the parents who lost their innocent children and the community of Newton. School should be a safe haven for children and we should never have to be worried about whether or not our children will return from school.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRdCZJET5JekQwkZQsZyPYrxegO32Gn-YSzDJfNSJO2MK_oZBw30A" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" class="rg_hi uh_hi" data-height="175" data-width="288" height="175" id="rg_hi" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRdCZJET5JekQwkZQsZyPYrxegO32Gn-YSzDJfNSJO2MK_oZBw30A" style="height: 175px; width: 288px;" width="288" /></a>We encourage everyone to keep the families of the innocent children and adults killed in the elementary school in your prayers and thoughts. And also, do not forget those children in other parts of the world, such as Syria, Gaza and Burma, who are in suffering and being murdered by tyrants everyday. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We hope that this is a wake up call for our country to take charge and make some important changes. The line must be drawn.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

film to have: Shahrukh Khan, a gorgeous heroine, a dramatic climax,
beautiful songs, and a happy ending. However, the romance, the biggest
part of any Yash Raj film, was missing. Allow me to explain.<br />
<br />
This film starred Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif, and Anushka Sharma.
The film was essentially a love story between Khan and Kaif. Yash Chopra
did a fantastic job in direction and portraying the story. However, the
flaw was in the writing and story. Aditya Chopra, who’s been known to
direct many classic Yash Raj films, such as Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, wrote
the story of <i>Jab Tak Hai Jaan</i>. Expecting a classic storyline, I
was left very disappointed.<br />

The key to the perfect pair of sparkly pants is subtleness. These pair of pants have just the right amount of gold sparkle. The neutral color makes them easy to wear during day or night. Throw on a leopard print scarf, a lacy cardigan and a great handbag, and you're ready to shine bright like a diamond (lame Rihanna reference).</div>

Occasionally, I like to take advantage of my pretty roommate and use her as a model. Alyssa likes to keep things simplistic, but classy. Here's a great example of how you can make a simple concept, such as jeans and a tee, and dress it up. Take advantage of the peter pan collar trend! They add a little class to what would otherwise be a simple top. </div>

After a week of craziness, we finally found the time to go on another hunt to find the perfect cappuccino. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This time we visited <a href="http://www.hubbardandcravens.com/">Hubbard & Cravens Coffee and Tea</a> in Carmel. This place was located in the cutest, prettiest area of Carmel (which is basically like all of Carmel....kidding not kidding). And the inside was even prettier. We loved the environment and feel of this place! It was so well decorated and set up. It was very contemporary, but very rustic at the same time. They had these cool, see-through plastic chairs with wooden tables that looked like just a giant slab of wood. Basically, the atmosphere was amazing and if I could, I would live there. </div>

Now let's talk about their coffee, because that's what this post is supposed to be about. I ordered their cappuccino (duh). It came in a nice little mug, which sat on a little saucer, and the best part, they even gave me a spoon. I feel like I used too many commas in that sentence; oh well. The cappuccino was delicious! It was extremely creamy with just the right amount of coffee and steamed milk. I love the froth in cappuccinos and lattes. Scooping the froth up with my spoon was too satisfying. Probably one of my top favorite cappuccinos of all time. </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>Spoiler Alert: <span style="color: black;">I don't intentionally spoil things, but I've been told that sometimes I give too many things away on accident. So this is my warning to you. Read on at your own risk. </span></b></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sridevi makes a wonderful comeback into Indian cinema after 15 years with this film! The film is a light-hearted story, fantastically written and directed by Gauri Shinde.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="300" id="il_fi" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimQriw2nG0GyqRv7Ui_fuRy3knTBX0r0GIffZieMxZfTzZbApKqtcxPKutULpD8_1ZZXEtDkYNqE_kUFclm8hRNIMOMeIpLVU7VE0pstpcdRFvZufO2IoYivI_h4s_uix05Vjdid0N72y8/s400/EV+poster.jpg" style="padding-bottom: 8px; padding-right: 8px; padding-top: 8px;" width="400" /> </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I won't go into too much detail about the plot because I don't want to end up giving everything away, but basically, this story is about a housewife, played by Sridevi, who feels belittled by her husband and children because she doesn't know how to speak English. In order to gain some respect for herself, she secretly starts attending English classes, and the movie takes you through her journey.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://content.hungama.com/image/display%20image/585xdynamic%20jpeg/56008319.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="English Vinglish" border="0" height="400" src="http://content.hungama.com/image/display%20image/585xdynamic%20jpeg/56008319.jpg" title="English Vinglish" width="276" /></a>I loved the way the movie was directed. It lasted about two hours, but there was not one moment where I felt bored. I never felt the movie was being unnecessarily stretched out, which is very RARE in Bollywood. The dialogue was so perfect. There was just the right amount of comedy, drama, happiness and sadness. Each of the characters were so unique, that you grew attached to each one of them as the movie progressed. The characters were very unique and real.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now let's talk more about Sridevi. She looked absolutely stunning. So beautiful. And her acting was GREAT. In fact, while watching the movie, I forgot I was watching Sridevi. She beautifully became her character and she never let go. She was so timid throughout the movie, which was perfect for her character of a traditional housewife.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Have I said the words perfect and beautiful enough yet?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There wasn't much music in the film. The few songs that were present were kinda bizarre but they worked well as background sound. Nothing I would download on my iPod to listen to in my free time or while doing homework, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All in all, this movie is great. It puts a big smile on your face. So gather your parents, siblings, friends, etc. and go watch this film! It will not disappoint. Oh, and the best part, no awkward moments whatsoever. You can finally watch a film with your parents and/or kids, stress-free.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Hello lovelies!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So it's been FOREVER since we've done a fashion post. We just never got a chance to go out and have a photo shoot. I finally found some time this past weekend and I thought I'd bring you a night photo shoot since we haven't done one yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm super excited about this outfit because I absolutely love this dress. It is a cheetah print (shocker) dress that very bold, structured shoulders! The reason I bought the dress was for its shoulders. The shoulders take this somewhat of a simple dress to a whole new level. Structured shoulders are a great way to give any plain dress an edge look, and I felt quite glamorous.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Since the dress was so bold with the shoulders and the print was pretty vibrant, I kept the accessories simple. I threw on some rings and couple of bangles. I decided to wear the black ankle boots instead of heels to keep the look edgy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is a great nighttime, "going out" look! The dress is super comfy and because of the boldness of the dress, you don't even need that many accessories! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Let me know how you would style this dress! Don't forget to like our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/WhatMakesWorld?ref=ts">Facebook page</a> and follow us on Twitter/Instagram (@heraspeaking, @nazday).</div>

ambassador, Christopher Stevens, along with three other Americans were
killed in Libya at the US Embassy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I, a Muslim American, condemn this action and do think that those responsible for committing this crime should be punished.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Many are saying the reason this crime
was committed was because it was an act of protest against an anti-Islam
movie made here in the US. I’m not going to go into the details of what
the movie is about or what it’s called because I don’t want to bring
attention to it. I don’t think it’s appropriate to make any sort of
movie or documentary that insults any religion.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We Americans are quick to blame to
others for actions committed against us. We are quick to blame anyone
and anything beside ourselves. I’ll admit, I have an ego about being
American. I think this country is amazing and I honestly wouldn’t ever
want to live anywhere else.</div>

About a month ago, I discovered this web site called <a href="http://printstagr.am/">Printstagram</a>. This company prints your Instagram photos and they offer a variety of products. You can get a t-shirt, a little book, poster, stickers, or even just simple square prints. When I found the web site, I got really excited because the products they had seemed very cool to me. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To determine the quality of the products they offer, I ordered a set of 24 square prints. I got to choose which photos on my Instagram account I wanted to print. A few weeks later, my prints came in and let me just say, I am in love with them. They turned out better than I expected and I immediately started to brainstorm how I wanted to display them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I came up with this idea of an Instagram wall. Instead of spending a lot of money and buying a frame for each print (I had 24 prints...that's a lot of frames), I came up with a cool, retro-ish way to display the prints without breaking the bank. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here's what you'll need:</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Jewelry wire (you can find this at any craft store)</li>
<li>Scissors</li>
<li>Clothespins</li>
<li>Thumb tacks</li>
<li>And of course, your Instagram prints</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxYmBY2Ms8clrgk2Z7XP6uNdtUSa00ajcZkFBS_L8pnxjPZQ9fkmpFoES5WvHE9bysm5p8pko_N0HJBx3PvQYNFjSNKcYUz-0m1PDYuc73I8WIIxO5eSUEqivK9zGtSOWorVdAw8SRBe_k/s1600/IMG_3119.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxYmBY2Ms8clrgk2Z7XP6uNdtUSa00ajcZkFBS_L8pnxjPZQ9fkmpFoES5WvHE9bysm5p8pko_N0HJBx3PvQYNFjSNKcYUz-0m1PDYuc73I8WIIxO5eSUEqivK9zGtSOWorVdAw8SRBe_k/s400/IMG_3119.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
So the first step is to determine how the arrangement of your prints. I had 24, so I decided I was going to have four rows of six prints. Once you've determined that, take a tack and put in on the wall where you would want your row of photos to start. Take your jewelry wire (it comes in lots of colors; I just picked black because I liked it best) and wrap the end of it tightly around the tack a couple times.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNNCBlp0L3N9E8NWJNYfk4rF5aD8qCfQEYQkKKtKVI2GG7jUD-PfrDLNcda1dd4SWnvgdPzxMl1rKf9dhGw_YMfJWK0CIR7wcXzSaFpOdkxPk2lTWpnI_xfcNoSIoBOjxTAOl0siTONrZ1/s1600/IMG_3132.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="395" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNNCBlp0L3N9E8NWJNYfk4rF5aD8qCfQEYQkKKtKVI2GG7jUD-PfrDLNcda1dd4SWnvgdPzxMl1rKf9dhGw_YMfJWK0CIR7wcXzSaFpOdkxPk2lTWpnI_xfcNoSIoBOjxTAOl0siTONrZ1/s400/IMG_3132.PNG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Next, determine how long you want your row to be and straighten out the jewelry wire to that length. The wire is not going to be completely straight. There will be bends and uneveness in the wire, but I think that gives it more character. After you've determined the length, cut the end with the scissors. Repeat the first step with the second tack. Now you should have one row of wire. Next take your Instagram print and hang it on the wire using a clothespin.</div>

I love Instagram because it gives me an excuse to pretend to be an "artsy photographer" when in reality I'm not, and this was an awesome way to display my "artsy" Instagram shots. If you have some memorable Instagram shots that you would like to print out to keep, definitely check out Printstagram. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Also, you don't have to use just Instagram photos to do this! This is a great way to display some of your favorite family photos, etc. without breaking the bank and buying a bunch of frames.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Let me know what you think of this! </div>

Last evening (Aug. 16th), I attended an event that usually happens every year at the Indiana State House. Our wonder governor, Mitch Daniels, hosts an iftar for the Muslim community in Indiana at the State House. This was the first time my family and I attended this event. Since this is the governor's last iftar before he is done with his term, I thought there wouldn't be a better opportunity to meet him in person.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When I walked into the State House, I literally felt like I was in a movie. If you haven't ever visited a government building in your city, I'd say it's definitely worth a walk through. While waiting for Governor Daniels to enter, I admired the architecture and art in the building. There's really so much history in these kinds of structures and it's such a cool environment to be in.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally, the governor walked in and people were kind of standing around him. My dad and I joined the small crowd of people around him and he attended to each one, giving everyone some time to chit chat. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
I got my turn and had a short conversation with him about school, etc. He was extremely kind and very attentive! I've never had any complaints with Mitch Daniels because he has been so good to Indiana and its people. I always assumed he was one of those politicians that was a good guy in real life. Having even that small conversation with him confirmed my assumption. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Soon after, it was time for the program to begin. We heard from many people, including Mitch Daniels of course. Unfortunately, he couldn't stay the whole night (sadface), but even for the short time that he was around, it was a nice experience. I really appreciate his efforts to get to know all the different communities in Indiana, and I hope that the next governor continues with this tradition. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Overall, I had quite the pleasant evening and I felt pretty cool with my formal attire and the super historic, movie-like environment. Below are some pictures from the evening. Enjoy! And let me know if you've ever been to a similar event where you met important people and felt important as well.</div>
