Martha Stewart, of course
Martha Stewart, of course
With ideas like this? Martha Stewart is untouchable. I know she didn't invent this flower arrangement concept, but Lord love her for bringing it to our attention. So damn smart. Especially for top-heavy flowers.
Is this not a genius idea? I can't really decide whether it's bordering on being either too controlling or just AMAZINGLY ORGANIZED. Your call. If children are ever in my future, this idea has to happen. Such a good idea (of course it's Martha's), I love it so much.
Few things in life give me more pleasure than sitting down with a giant mug of Coffee Crisp hot chocolate and slowly reading every detail that affects Martha Stewart's scheduled month. This page is the first page of every issue and even I don't really understand exactly why I love it so much, to be honest. The organization of her life maybe? How envious I am of her gardening skills? The fact that she uses phrases like "Gentle Reminders"? I don't know. It's a complicated kind of love. One that I hope to never quite fully understand. She's just so in control of her life. Love this woman so much.
Whoever is in charge of reading my eulogy, please include a nod to my impeccable oral hygiene. It's one of the few things I'm most proud of, thus far. If there's one, easy thing you can be taking care of in your life, it's your oral care. I'll never shut up about it. You know this already.
But what about your pets? Who's gonna take care of their teeth? You, bud. Please get on that already if you haven't. At least once a week is all they require it done, too. I'm pretty sure that's why dogs do things that piss owners off sometimes. They're acting out 'cause you're not brushing their teeth. We all love that minty after-breath! Don't deny them that right! And if you're thinking, "My dog hates it when I brush his/her teeth." Well, that's your fault, owner. Try this tip to start to get them into it.
Martha Stewart Living, April 2014 issue
In my dreams, everything I own looks luxurious - even (and especially) the mundane items that surround my everyday life. So when I saw this idea for a bookmark in Martha Stewart Living, I gasped. I really did. Judge away.
Is this not a gorgeous idea? Quite frankly, I don't know where I'll find an envelope like that to use and cut up - but believe me when I say that my eyes are peeled for one.
"To make one, cut a bottom corner from an ungusseted paper bag (the kind card shops use) or a colorful envelope. Ours is about 2 inches long from corner to cut. Create several to track your best-loved recipes or when planning the menu for a special dinner." - Martha Stewart
Lord love her. I'm nowhere near "planning the menu for a special dinner" in my current state of living, but I love that she thinks I am.
Obviously, you know I'm into handwritten mail. Who isn't? But you know what's also pretty sweet? Magazines, baby. I waited, oh, about four years before fulfilling a dream and finally subscribing to Martha Stewart Living. Why did I wait? It always seemed too expensive. The only reason I finally signed up was because of the crazy deals that most magazine subscriptions are offering now. (This definitely sounds like an ad. A bad ad. Sorry about that.) GQ offered a year-long subscription rate of $5 FOR THE YEAR a few weeks back (it's now at $15 for the year), so it's good to check off and on.
This is basically just a public service announcement telling you that if you've been putting off subscribing to some magazine you've always wanted to get but haven't because of money - well, you should go sign up now since magazines are definitely on their way out the door. I understand that's why they're charging so little, so it'd be smartest to get in on this now because they're completely gone.
You can find the weekly, cheap Amazon magazine subscriptions over here. But you should also check out an individual magazine's website as well. Mad deals all 'round. Get in on it.
(And if you're the type who's into tabloids... well... I genuinely hate myself for being the one to inform you of these deals. I really do.)
