Back to Glass

I was cleaning out our cupboard, and thought...why do I have so many bags in here? I don't even like plastic bags. 

Downstairs there are a ton of mason jars that my mom and aunt gave to me. I thought...why not use them to store dried goods?

• Glass doesn't have the harmful chemicals that plastic does. 
  
  
• Glass lasts, for years!
  
  
• Food tastes more fresh when it's stored in glass.
  
  
• I don't know about you, but when I pour from a plastic bag...dried goods often get hung up on the zip-lock type opening. That doesn't happen with containers.
  
  
• Most of the time there's someone in the family that has a ton of Mason jars that they aren't using. It's time to ask that one family member for their jars. Use them!
  
  
• Mason jars are timeless. They always look good!
  
  
• They actually take less room up in the cupboard.

Are you tired of using plastic bags for everything?

What's Popular?

It used to be colors that came and went. Clothing styles and home decor came and went as well.

Now vintage is back. Mixed patterns, and all colors seem to be acceptable. Any type of clothing and decor from modern to vintage is ok to use. A lot of people mix styles up. That's ok as well.

What is popular? Do you ever think about that? Never would I of guessed that what's popular would be some of things that we proudly own, have, wear today.

The last few years mustaches have been in. Even I like them. It's cool to wear that stache.

Mason jars are in every store it seems. It used to be "redneck" to drink out of a jar. Now they are even sold at high end stores like Pottery Barn. We drink out of them at home.

Someone made bacon popular. I like it, it's good, but it's greasy fat. Some think it's in the meat group. Let's face it, it's fat. It's been around for a long time. I find it humorous that it's popular. Especially when people put them on cupcakes. The cupcakes were good before you added the bacon. Bacon mints do not make your breath fresh.

Being a nerd is no longer a bad thing. It's considered sexy and popular. Put the word, "Nerd" on a shirt, then put that shirt on a sexy girl, and guys are all over her. Some people even wear black rimmed glasses with no lens because it's "HOT".

Chevron Stripes are now the "Thing" to get. They are on t-shirts, baby blankets, rugs and more. This is a new one that quickly came onto the scene. I've been seeing them all over ads.

The one I can't understand is the grumpy cat. I wish that one would go out of style. No offense to those that like that ugly thing. It's just not me.
