DIY Christmas Ornament

This DIY Christmas Ornament is super easy and you only need three things to make it!

Materials:
Clear plastic ornament (I got mine from Michael’s for $1!)
Stickers
Spray paint (any color you want!)

STEP 1: Place the stickers where you want on your ornament. You can use any type of stickers you’d like! I chose to use letter stickers to spell out my last name, Baker, which thankfully is only five letters because it just barelllyyyy fit. 

STEP 2: Put newspaper down on your driveway/sidewalk so you don’t make a mess. If you don’t have newspaper you can get creative like I did and use your college essays instead. No worries, it was the last day of the semester!

STEP 3: Spray paint the crap out of it! Since it’s an ornament it’s going to roll around…lucky for you I’m a genius and figured out a way to paint it so this didn’t happen. Take off the little silver claspy thing on the ornament (does anybody know what that’s called??) and put something inside that you can hold it up with. At this time I wasn’t much of a genius and I used my finger and got spray paint all over my hand. But now that I’m smarter I know to use something like a stick next time.

STEP 4: Peel off the stickers! If there are any places where the spray paint got underneath the stickers, use a toothpick to gently scrape it off…and you’re done!!! I told you it would be easy :)

Now go hang your new ornament on the tree and enjoy!!

The perfect faux leather boots!

It gets hard to shop for boots when you’re a vegetarian and a college student. All the boots are either made of leather or are ridiculously expensive! Is it too much to ask for someone to design cute inexpensive vegan friendly boots?! Every pair I found that I liked were over $100 and of course, made with leather! I was not going to give up on finding my perfect pair of boots, so I searched everywhere, and I mean everywhere. Finally I found a pair of adorable brown combat boots from Journey's. I have never even been inside Journey’s and I always thought it was just a skateboarding shop, but boy was I wrong. Here are the boots I bought…adorable right??

Madden Girl Trixie Boot in Cognac

These $54 boots were a little pricier than I would normally pay for shoes (hey, I’m a college student!) but I wear them all the time! They are super comfortable, go with practically everything, and they’re vegan friendly! You can buy them online at http://www.undergroundbyjourneys.com or at your local Journey’s store. Good luck shopping!

15 Celebrity Vegetarians

So I was scrolling through the TV channels the other night looking for something to take my mind off of my final exams, and I came across a special about the Top 10 Weddings of 2012. Shallow, I know, but I was in desperate need of a break from Microbiology. By the way, Blake and Ryan had police officers confiscate their guests cell phones upon their arrival-a little dramatic don’t ya think? Anyway! I noticed that the majority of the weddings served Vegetarian food! Yep, that’s right! Even though these celebrities have millions of dollars to spend on Steaks and Lobsters, they chose to serve food like veggie burgers, macaroni and cheese, and mashed potatoes. So that led me to do a little research on Celebrity Vegetarians. I was shocked to find out how many of my favorite stars are meat-free! Check out my favorite 15 below!
