A Few of my Favorite Things

Greetings from underneath my lambie blanket,

I am currently sick with some sort of cough thing so I am bundled up in bed bored. I thought I would take this time to advocate a few of my favorite things. Every week, I'd like to do a post following this title. Why should you care about what I love/believe in/ like to do? Well, I really don't know. However I think they are pretty snazzy and awesome, perhaps you will too.

1) Passion for Craftin'- So I have this friend from high school named Jessee Hires, now Yarborough. Recently, she has started making children's clothes. THEY ARE SO STINKING CUTE! I don't even have children but I want her to make my imaginary children a whole wardrobe! She has it all, from tutus and legwarmers to onesies and Halloween costumes. This is quality stuff folks. Her clothing has a quaint boutique feel to it and her hard work and creative mind are clearly visible in all of her creations. She also makes clothing for adults including mommy and me coordinating outfits. I am so confident and in love with her line that I am having her make a maxi dress for me this week! If you have children, please do not subject them to the boring same old same old outfits. Remember, they will get you back one day in the teenager years. Check out Jessee's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PassionForCraftin?ref=ts&fref=ts for all your little tyke's dressing needs.

2) Photography- I love pictures. I absolutely hate taking them of myself but I love looking at peoples engagement pictures, baby pictures, pet pictures, etc. My friend Sarah Mobley has recently broke into this art. Listen up folks, her pictures are amazing. She has mad photography and editing skills. Although she is turning people down right now to focus on school (good job girl!) I am hoping that if I help her, she will accept some sessions over the summer. I have zero summer plans and need something to do and I am crossing my fingers that this will be a project to keep me busy.

3) Beautiful Creatures- If you haven't guessed yet, I am an avid reader. I absolutely love reading and immersing myself into a good book. Recently, I was given the book Beautiful Creatures to read by my dad's ex wife Jamie. It is such an awesome book. My Baker County people will really be able to relate because the story is set in a small town in South Carolina with the same types of drama. And of course, it is a love story. I am a sucker for those. It has a Twilight feel to it so if you enjoyed that series (let's face it, everyone did), you will like these as well. Maybe I should have just entitled this one reading... hmm? Also, the movie is coming out mere days before my birthday so for those of you who are not readers, rejoice, there is a movie! Someone should take me to see it!

4) Harry Potter- Hello, my name is Cara Overstreet and I am addicted to Harry Potter. So much so that my upcoming 21st birthday party/waltz will have a Harry Potter theme. Admittedly, I have pinned Harry Potter baby nurseries and wedding ideas. Don't judge me, just open the book and let your obsession begin. These books take you to a place your mind could not piece together in your wildest dreams. It will make you laugh, cry, pull your hair out, bite your nails, and find yourself wishing you were at Hogwarts instead of your actual college. Also, you will want an owl. The purchase of one in the state of Florida is illegal. However, I could accept a little jail time if I had a Hedwig. Anyhow, please read these books or watch the movies, preferably both!

5) Yoga- I was never really into yoga until this past year. It may sound like a sissy thing to do or something that only the crazy tree hugger people do, but it is quite amazing. I took my first class at the FSU Leach Center (our huge gym) and was kind of disbelieving as I took my place on the mat. By the end of the class, I felt like a new person. My energy level and mental calmness were totally in sync. This all sounds sort of crazy, but you should all give it a shot! Try at least one class and see what you think.

While writing this post, I have decided that each week I will post five things I really like/care about/feel everyone should give a shot. Whether it be a product, book, movie, whatever. I hope you all enjoy them as much as I do if you actually get around to trying them.
