The lovely Carrie from Move ‘N Munchies tagged me with this. Thanks girlie! 
Here are my 7 facts.
1. My three favorite scents from Bath and Body Works are Secret Wonderland, Japanese Cherry Blossom, and Dark Kiss.
2. I have a Kitty-Cat!
His name is Chip and he’s turning seven years old this month!
I love this little guy so much!!!
3. I love to play the piano.
4. I have a new page! Go check it out!
5. This is the License Plate I want to put on my Car (once I get one…..).
6. I love to draw.
The Jolly Ol’ King I saw in a book and free-handed him. These are some Tulips that I free-handed too.
7. I LUV shopping for jeans.
But, it can be hard to find jeans sometimes. All of the different styles. All of the different sizes. All of the different washes, fabrics, and lengths. It’s crazy how many different kinds of jeans there are out there.
AND, since I am a petite, it makes the process of finding jeans all the more arduous. Many stores don’t carry petite/short sizes, and if they do, sometimes they are TOO short.
So therefore, I always keep my eyes open for jeans.
How do you feel about jean shopping? Do you have trouble finding jeans?
One thing I continually strive to do as I am trying on clothes is to not focus on the size. The number on the tag doesn’t really say anything. It’s more of a faint guideline. Every brand is distinct. Every pair of jeans is diverse in so many ways. Therefore, it is inevitable that I am going to be a different size in all of the different brands.
Does the size determine if you buy them or not? (like, if you are a larger size in a different brand, would you not buy them just because they were a larger size?)
I know that even though I am able to “squeeze” into a certain pair, doesn’t mean I look good in them. I buy the size that fits the best. I focus on the fit. If I don’t look good in a certain pair, then no matter what the number is on the tag, it doesn’t flatter me. Squeezing into a pair that gives me love handles that aren’t truly there is NOT a pair that fits.
What do you think? Similar views? Similar Likes?
xoxox,
I LOVE bath and body works smells!! i wish they had one in the UK! GRRr
new page! YAAY.. will go check that out
I def dont enjoy shopping for jeans only becuz i look terrible in jeans… but with the size thing, it doesnt bother me bcuz i do realize every brand is different and even if I am a size higher than I thought in a particular brand i just say to myself.. you are healthy, you are where you should be and that is that.. helps me!
I thought they did have Bath and Body Works in England…. I don’t know if I could live without them!
Great facts! =D
I definitely have trouble finding a good pair of jeans….I’m short and small…..and a lot of stores don’t carry that…=P I don’t usually even look at the size, because every store sizes their clothes differently and I care more about how the jeans feel than what’s on the tag.
Yah, I just use the number on the tag as a starting point.
Then I go from there. 
Awwwe Chip is adorable!!
I play the piano tooooo
I love shopping for jeans! I don’t care what size they are, just as long as they fit and look nice in the bum! I hate jeans that give you a saggy bum!
Awww, Chip say you are cute too!
YAY for fellow piano players!
This is a little off subject. I’m thinking of doing a post about the wonders of the vegan baking craze and I wanted your reactions to the following

If you have the time to explore it, I would welcome your input.
Okie Dokie! I’m checking it out RIGHT NOW!
the pizzerts look delish definitely need to make some soon, love bath and body works I usually wear twilight woods and dark kiss, and I love jeans but usually just buy express cause I know they will fit good!
Twilight Woods is yummy too!
Jeans Jeans…..so hard to find a good pair. Even if you have the perfect body type (which is impossible) They are always so different and you never know what size to try!
Yep!
But when you do find the perfect pair, it is SO amazing! 
Some of my old coworkers own a designer jean shop. Lucky me I got to get a bunch of obscure brands I’ve never heard of before on the cheap!
So basically I only go jean shopping when I’m back in Baltimore
Fun!
Bath and Body Works has so much good stuff! I really don’t like jean shopping at all because I’m so short! If I don’t get “short” jeans I have to get them altered. No fun haha!
I love Bath and Body Works too! I go there so much that it is like I work there!
I love finding perfect fitting jeans! Unfortunately, they are usually “premium” denim, so buying them is rare!
Yah, I now focus on the item. Even if the pair of jeans is three dollars, if I never wear them, I would be just wasting my money if I bought them.
When I find a pair of jeans I absolutely love, and I know when/where I will wear them (for instance, special events, all of the time, etc), then I will get them.
Premium denim is nice! I can see how you like them!
I like to get my jeans from a place like Plato’s Closet (used clothes, but good brands) because they’re broken in, they won’t shrink and they have TONS of different styles and brands, so I Can always find something to fit me! I’m kind of short too, and I’ve got a bit of a bootay on me
hehe so it can be tricky to get a good fit!
I’ve heard of Plato’s Closet, but I’ve never gotten the chance to go there. I need to go check them out!
I hate jeans shopping! I have really short legs, so even if I buy a ‘short’ pair, they are still too long.
I find that too! Sometimes the jeans are TOO long, and other times they are TOO short!
Love your kitty! So cute….I had to get rid of my cat because my dad is allergic:(
I totally agree about jean shopping….the only thing I use sizes for is for a starting point on what to try on, but other than that, as long as they fit I buy em!
Awww, I’m so sorry you had to give your cat away! I love Chip so much.; he is such a big part of my life, and I don’t know what I would do without him!
Personally I hate jeans shopping. I am a pear shape, so finding jeans that fit in both the thigh and the waist is a massive challenge!
Yah, I can see how that is difficult.
I have massive problems buying jeans. Even when they fit in the shop I find more often than not they go baggy after a few washes.
I put too much emphasis on size I think – going for fit is a much better idea and I’m trying to do that more.
I find that too! Some of my jeans, after wearing them a couple times, get TOO BIG! It drives me crazy!!!
I used to hate the number on my jeans until I changed my mindset like yours… I’d rather have a pair of jeans that looks good on me and that I feel great in rather than stuffing it all in for the sake of being a smaller size. Who sees the the number on the jeans but you anyway?!
You are absolutely right! We shouldn’t fit in the jeans — the jeans should fit us. They should make us feel amazing!
I love Japanese Cherry Blossom! It makes me feel elegant.
I have a question! How tall are you? You said your petite, but I always imagined you being tall! I love to know a blogger’s height so I don’t go thinking they’re all tall when they’re actually short, and vice versa.
It is elegant!
I’m 5’4″ tall, and I’m proud of it.
Awwhh, thanks. 
I love Japanese Cherry Blosom! I’m afraid I have to admit that I hate jean shopping with a fiery passion.
Ohhhh, fiery passion!
Nice! 
Japanese Cherry Blossom smells sooooo good!
Aww your beautiful cat looks just like one I used to own, I got a little teary when I saw the pic. I adore cats
Where I used to live in Sydney our whole street was lined with cherry blossom trees, I loved the week they all came into bloom and would pinch sprigs of flowers to put in my room. I haven’t been able to find any here in Melbourne (and I’ve never seen anything scented with it) but am looking for somewhere I could get root stock to grow my own tree.
Jeans shopping is always interesting for me, I find they always gape at the waist and no amount of belting them in makes it sit flat *sigh*
And I just realised my gravatar is linking to the original blog I deleted before my current (active one) oops! Have now fixed that *phew*

Ally
Awww, me too! I ADORE KITTIES!!! They are my favorite animal in the entire universe!
Gosh, that sounds so pretty! I wish I could have seen it!
I hate jean shopping! Nothing ever fits me and jeans are always over-priced! Thank God for yoga pants
Whitney
I love yoga pants! I only have one pair, but I need to get me some more!
I am always the same size in jeans, but shirts are way different for me. In Nike I always wear a small, but other brands I wear a medium. It is so weird!
Wow! That’s crazy!
I vary in shirt sizes too. It really depends on the brand. In some I am an Extra Small, and in others I am a Medium.
Awww…. Your kitty is SUPER cute!! And I love the license plate – it fits you perfectly!
And I definitely agree about pant sizes – there’s no use wearing clothes that aren’t comfortable!
Awwwww, thanks Alexandra! You are one of the sweetest people I know!
I love bath and body. esspecially since most of there stuff is not tested on animals.
I don’t think most people enjoy jean shopping, it’s highly overwhelming. I personally hate it. ha. I’m superduper short so if they don’t have the short sizes I’m screwed or my pants will go past my feet. ha. But sometimes there are lucky moments when I find the perfect pair of jeans and it’s all worth it
Yah, I love to shop for jeans! It is so worth all of the hard work!
I almost ALWAYS want breakfast for dinner! I agree that jean sizes don’t always fit all. I try not to buy them for the size, either. Honestly, if a pair of jeans is really flattering, I’ll still get them if they have a bigger size but I won’t like, I’m a little dissuaded!
Breakfast for Dinner is the BEST!!!
Same here. If the pair makes me look great, I am all over them!
I have the same problem jean shopping, though I don’t think I’ve found a pair of jeans yet that was TOO short
Yeah, it happens sometimes. Pretty crazy right!
Happy birthday to Chip for when his birthday rolls around, he is a QT-PIE.
Though I still seem to always be between sizes when it comes to buying pants!
Jeans shopping makes me frustrated. It is hard to find a great pair! My favourite pair has stretched out a bit too much now, and my other pair never stretched out enough around the waist band… that last pair was a total vanity buy though, because I liked the colour better than the pair that were a little bit comfier, so my fault! I have to go and buy some new jeans soon!
I used to get upset by the size of the label if it wasn’t what I wanted, but now I am over it and life is a lot more comfortable.
Awww, thanks Susan!!!! You are so sweet! Chip says you’re a QT-PIE too!
Love the facts! And that you love jeans. I end up buying one too many pairs most times, I think
Sometimes I get really annoyed when jean shopping just because I hate the whole hassel of trying things on, and how sizes are allllways different so sometimes I hardly even know where to start. But if that means I’m a larger size in X brand in smaller in Z brand, no big deal. I usually have a hard time finding ones in Long, though – so I feel your pain on needing petite 
Yah, I have some friends with the same problem with finding jeans long enough too! One of them has to get the REALLY EXPENSIVE ones because they are just long enough. Craziness!
Oh I love bath and body works stuff! I worked there during college and loved it! Those pizzerts look quite addictive..I will have to give them a try!
Buying jeans is crazy…I am 5 foot 4 so I am not quite petite and a bit shorter than the regular length. The bottom of my jeans always get frayed no matter how hard I try! 
LUCKY!!! I want to work there!
Yes. You need to make a Pizzert RIGHT NOW! Do you here me?! NOW!
You will never turn back. 
I despise jean shopping. I’ve had only 1 pair for the past 3 years. Lol!
Wow. When I was younger, maybe 8 years old, I despised jeans, but now I love them!
Hehe, I could never go 3 years without buying jeans. 
I love jeans, but shopping for them is just difficult! I love bootcut jeans and now that the skinny jeans craze has hit bookcuts are very rare. The size doesn’t really determine what jeans I buy – no one but me can see the size after all!
Great post Kathleen! Have a wonderful Sunday!
I totally agree! I don’t care for skinny’s, but I love bootcut! It is really hard to find the bootcut now with the skinny jean craze right now. I wonder what the hext craze will be….. I hope it’s bootcuts!
omg i have THE hardest time shopping for jeans! I’m tall and skinny and virtually NO retailers (except Hollister!) make jeans that fit me…so I’ve got about 10 pairs of the same hollister jeans;)
I’m glad you’ve found a brand that works for you!
yum those pizzerts look awesome! I need to make them asap!
YES, YOU DO need to make a pizzert!!! GO make them one this INSTANT!
You are so funny with your pizzerts. And Chips is SUCH a cutie pie!
Awwwe, thanks Laury! Munchkin is such a cutie pie too!
LOVE your facts!! And I love jeans so much!! I buy whatever fits and am not bothered by sizes- they’re all different anyway
And pizzerts are the BEST!!
Yeah, jeans are all so different. I don’t know how people can buy them online. I would think it would involve a lot of returning.
I LOVEEEE LOVEEEE LOVEEEE your drawings! You are so talented!!!
Awwwww, thanks Angie! You are the sweetest!
Aw I loved reading all these things about you!
I used to play piano, that’s so cool that you still do… And hat you’re good at drawing. I’m atrocious 
i’m not the biggest fan of jean shopping because the lighting is always unflattering and all that jazz… plus I’m just so lazy about trying things on haha
you are lovely
<3

I like to buy jeans, but have opposite problem – I am almost 6 feet tall and need to buy tall sizes. Such a pain to find tall jeans that fit well!
