Tomorrow's a MoNdAy, and I don't have to get up early! Woooooo! You see, I attend seminary, which is basically an early-morning religion study for Mormons (that starts at 6:30 AM, waaaahhh!). That's a huuuuge understatement, but I don't really wanna explain it to you guys right now. Anywhoo.
Tomorrow it's cancelled because my teacher can't make it! :D No, I'm not happy that she can't make it, but I am happy that I won't have to get up early. My teacher is going to be performing in a choir at around 7, (middle of seminary) so she won't be able to make it. I hope she has an awesome time.
For the Thirty Day Challenge, I won't be doing Day Three because a) I don't want to give away the information that it asks for, and b) I don't have any pictures of what it asks for either. So it will actually be a twenty-nine day challenge, lawls! Here goes...
~Thirty Day Challenge~
Day Four
"A Habit That You Wish You Didn't Have"
I actually have two habits that I wish I didn't have: biting my nails (ew) and altering my clothes. The first habit is pretty straightforward, I bite my nails when I'm nervous. Which is actually pretty often! Iiiiiiit's weird. But true.
Last year, I watched some stupid Oprah episode about how biting your nails can give you worms, and I was soooooo grossed out that I stopped for a year. Unfortch, when I started preparing my portfolio for my audition for my school, I started staying up late, getting up early, overworking, becoming antisocial, not eating, and a whole bunch of other stuff that really was unpleasant. Because of all the stress, my old instincts of nail-biting kicked in once again and ever since I haven't been able to stop. Yech.
The second habit is yeah, altering my clothes. When I've had clothes for a while, I often get bored of them and start to ruin them. Well, maybe not completely ruin them, but I will def alter them beyond recognition. I will rip them, put paint splatters on them, cut part of the sleeve off, bleach or distress them, etc. They look awesome when I'm done, but my mom hates it.
When she finds out.
I just can't stop, though! I can't sew my own clothes (yet) so instead I make my old clothes look better. In fact, just minutes before I wrote this post, I was ripping up my old jeans with an
X-acto knife. I mean, they look great, but sometimes I wish that I would be able to just buy clothes and be happy with them.
Anywhoo~

Onto the second part of my blog!
I would like to start "Sabrina's Guide to Life." It'll be a section at the end of the blog with some advice from me. It can be about absolutely anything, and it might not be on all of my blogs, but it's on my bucket list, so.... Yeah...

Since I was just talking about how I love to alter my clothing, here are some tips for distressing jeans!
To rip your jeans (the easy and cheap way):
-take an old pair of jeans or jeans with a stain on it and mark where you want the rips to be
-taking an X-Acto knife or any other sharp object, make horizontal cuts across the area
-try to keep a cm between rips to make the next step a little easier
-using a scratchy brush, brush the rips slowly and firmly going in vertical strokes, this will help to loosen up the threads.
-Enjoy your new smexehhh jeans!
To bleach your jeans the easy way:
-Take an empty perfume spray bottle and fill it up about a quarter full of water (ONLY USE WATER FOR THIS!)
-Fill up the rest with bleach, but don't add too much, kay?
-Spray down the centre of your pant legs.
-Let the bleach sink into the fabric for about five minutes.
-Rinse your jeans in a sink of somethink until the water running off of it is clear.
-Let it dry....
-Then dazzle all your friends with your ah-mazing pants!
Another cool idea is to write a message on a shirt using bleach. Take some kind of letter (fridge letter magnets work well) and spell out something onto your shirt, and then follow the above steps. Awesome, right? Just make sure not to smudge the bleach when you take off the letters.
