New Year's Memories

This is a cute way to start off the new year,  you could also use this to remember the past year on your birthday! You take pieces of paper write your memories of the past year and put them in a jar. And open it on new years!  I hope you enjoy it!

The Help by Kathryn Stockett

When a white woman decides to write a book about the black maids she didn't know what she was getting into. Her friends have left her,and she was always checking her back.  To hear their stories she had to drive places she would never have dreamed of going on purpose.  Her saying thank-you to her maid surprised her maid and she wasn't sure what to say back.  From her strict mother to the maids' stories this book has it all!
*The movie leaves out a lot of the details, so even if you saw the movie the book is a must!*

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good book!

Snowflake Nails

Here is a good way to make snowflake nails.  Sorry I couldn't find a video to go with it so here are the instructions:

1.Paint all your nails purple except for your ring finger on each hand. Paint your ring fingers silver.

2. Start out with painting just the arms (lines) of your snowflakes on only the purple nails

3. Add the extras to your arms/lines (The circles and the little lines)

4. Paint a snowman on your silver nails (First start with the eyes and move down)
