"Homemade" Mirror

My Favorite Things #28/365

Mirror: $5, Hooks that hook over the door: $2.44, Ribbon: $0.47, Getting exactly (mostly) what you want and accomplishing a goal: Priceless :)

The Finished Product

The braided ribbon tied through two holes I made in the back. Hope it holds!

The hooks and the braided ribbon

The reason why I did it. In Springville, I had four mirrors surrounding me when I did my hair. Crunching that down to one was a bit difficult for me. When I straightened my hair, I used my compact as a mirror to see the back of my head. It worked, but it wasn't very efficient. It was so awesome to be able to use my contraption this morning!!

Perfect! I am still going through withdrawls from not being able to see the back of my hair! I really need to figure something out one of these days

Something I didn't include was that it took FOREVER to find the hooks. I looked all over the home area of walmart. It took the third employee I asked to tell me that they were in decorating!

Oh man...one of the first things I missed about moving from home...those mirrors to see the back...Mom and Dad were sure smart to put those mirrors up!!! I have them up...I still plan to put on in the girls bathroom, but for now, they don;t use it for hair...so a little down the road i will.

Day 21 - Class, Louvre, FHE

Class was good today. I had French 102 and Religion. Not bad. After that, I headed to the Louvre with Haley and Chelsea. I didn't bring my SLR with me because it wouldn't fit, so I took my point and shoot. Wow. What a difference. I knew I loved my SLR, but not I really love my SLR! I didn't take any good pictures, but I'll tell you that I did see Charles I Dismounted by Van Dyck. That was pretty exciting. I love to see paintings that I recognize. After we chilled at the Louvre for a while, we headed out (well, we lost Chelsea and found Richard) to the Ricks' place. We were a little early so we went to see the Eiffel Tower. We saw it all lit up. It was pretty awesome. Then off to the Ricks'. We played a charade-type game for FHE and it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed myself. And I was able to use their super fast internet to update my blog. So it all worked out well and it was a good night! PS Thanks to those of you who have been able to post comments. I reall...

Day 54 - Dernier Jour

Last day in Paris! I can't believe it. I'm sure gonna miss this place. Ali, Shamra, Mckell, Claire and I headed out to the city this morning. First stop was the Opera house. I finally got to see the inside this time! Beautiful. We had some fun :) Then we went to Berko's, the wonderful cheesecake place. It wasn't open and it was 11:35. We thought they wouldn't open until 12 but as we were sitting there waiting, they opened the doors! Yay! I got creme brulee cheesecake. Oh it was divine. This is one of the things I will miss most about Paris! Love it. Then Claire and I went to the Jewish museum. It was pretty interesting. I couldn't take many pictures. Then off to the Promenade Plantee. It was a really beautiful walk. I like this flower. It's weird. Then we walked back to the metro. It was quite a long walk so we were very tired! We went to the Louvre for a little internet time. Afterward, we went to Laudree to get a present for Greg and Martha. Then back to t...
