It is school vacation week here! That normally means a week full of big ideas of what you would like to accomplish and do- and by the end of the week you have done none of them! But not this time! I am going to spend my week being productive... Or at least I am going to keep telling myself that... :)
I do know for a fact a that today I am going up to Jericho, Vermont to visit the Snowflake Bentley Museum... Fun right? :) Ok well I am a self proclaimed nerd and ever since I heard about this guy in kindergarten I have been fascinated! I loved the idea of taking picture of the snow- or maybe it was just all the snow itself! (I also cannot get enough of the snow). And when we had to choose a topic in History to write a 10 page paper on, I jumped at the chance to write about this dude. He lived a pretty cool and inspirational life. So today I am going to go up to his hometown and go to the one room museum... hopefully the grade on the paper makes the 3+ hour trip worth it.
What am I going to do for the rest of the week you ask? Well I have no idea! I might sew a maxi skirt... or I might play with my perlers (more on this unhealthy obsession later...), or I may read....
What should I be doing? I should be writing that 10 page paper or writing the lab report that will be due next week... and I probably should also work on all those Latin verbs I keep forgetting... But I seriously doubt any of these things are going to happen... well I doubt that most of the first list will get done too :)

Book Review: Good Girls Don't Have to Dress Bad
Wow- that was one long hiatus! I cannot believe neither Sonja nor I have blogged in months! Things have been crazy, and I plan to blog more regularly now that school is winding down!
So the other day after staring at it on Amazon for almost a year, I did it... I bought Shari Braendel's book. I found it cheaper on iBooks and I convinced myself that it was ok to spend the money and strain my eyes (I was reading it on my iPhone)- I was sure that the material was worth it. And it was. I was not in LOVE with the book... but I enjoyed it.
Shari wrote this book to help other Christian Woman dress better. Now I know what you are thinking... God doesn't care what we look like on the outside- this is what I thought too. And then I read Shari's book and I have to say her argument it quite good. God wants us to to be walking billboards for HIM! So why should we only wear t-shirts and jeans? We should dress cute and love the body He gave us!
Shari saw the need in the church and began her ministry. I have learned different things about my body through this book. She teaches how to determine your body type and what colors and clothing looks good on you. This book is awesome because not only does it offer fashion advice but it does it with a Christian Twist. We need to love the body God gave us! He thinks we look good and cute and we need to think so too!
I personally loved the last chapter of the book on Modesty. I am a big advocate for helping this generation learn what is Modest and how what we dress affects our Brothers in Christ. Shari's blunt approach is just the wake-up call we all need. (If you want to read more about modesty, I recomend this AMAZING lady!)
God made you beautiful because He is beautiful! Embrace your Beauty!

What books have you read lately? I am always looking for suggestions!
I was not asked to write this review and did not receive this book for free. I bought this book with my own money and wrote this with my real opinions because I think this is an important message to share.
