Favorite Things 3

It's been a good while since I've done a Favorite Things post! Today seems like a good day for one, dontcha think?

1. Monograms

I don't know how it happened, and I don't know when it happened. I just love monograms. My mom always tells me it's a southern thing, because where she grew up (Syracuse, NY...where I was born) monogramming was/is not nearly as common as in the south. In the south, especially low-country and the deep south, people monogram everything from flags to napkins and children's clothing to car magnets. I've even seen dog bandanas monogrammed. It's big around here...and I love it. Don't get me wrong. I am not a monogram everything kinda gal, but I love subtle monograms!

If you're around my age or a couple years older or younger, you might remember the monogram explosion around my 7th-10th grade year. People could NOT get enough of initialed purses, shirts, keychains, etc. I remember I got a black purse with white trim/strap and a big white, script A on the side of it. I LOVED that thing. Ah monograms...so traditional, yet so trendy!

2. Glitter

It's true. I'm a 6 year old girl at heart. I love glitter! I love sequins! I love anything that sparkles really! Last year at Halloween, I bought glitter hairspray and put it all over my hair and costume (I was a dark fairy...tutu, wings, and all!) It was AWESOME!! I glittered, shimmered, and shone. I also trailed glitter all over the daggone place. We STILL have glittery cabinets in our bathroom. The hubs STILL gets specks of glitter on him (I find it hilarious that I rarely get glitter on me...if ever.) I don't care that I'll be 26 in December or that I may look juvenile wearing glittery accessories. I LOVE GLITTER!!!

The above image's source link will take you to a tutorial on how to glitterfy your own ballet flats! Who knew that I would stumble upon a tutorial using glitter while searching for images to use in this entry? Not I, but I am SO glad I did! I am seriously considering doing this!!! I have modge podge. I have glitter. I'm sure I have a pair of flats I can sacrifice. Hmmm...who's with me???


3. Facebook
Ok ok...so while Facebook is probably one of almost everybody's favorite things, this one is a little bit of a plug. Yesterday, I started a FB page for Angela's Favorite Things. If you could please give me a quick "like" I will love you forever!!

If you get my reference, give yourself ten cool points and explain it to those around you who obviously aren't as cool as you!

If you could take 2 seconds and give this a click, it would mean so much to me! Thank you!!
