The Better Artillery

These right here are the perfect example of why I consider myself to be the better Martha. Yes Miss Stewart can cook, clean, and iron perfectly, but I don’t recall her ever sashaying around the farmers market in shoes like these. Keds and capris are always appropriate, but sometimes it’s fun to spice things up. I have been told the shoes pictured below resembles weaponry more than it does footwear.

The Better Infinity Scarf

To all you east coasters and cold climate creatures, I salute you. Your ability to deal with frozen toes astounds me. It’s a freezing 59 degrees today in Los Angeles and I’m ready to give up all activities for the sake of staying under my down comforter. I’m only able to go out because this weather lends itself to a certain kind of attire—coats, boots, and gloves! While this may seem like old potatoes to some of you, this is a rare experience for me.  I even got to break out the infinity scarf my sister crocheted for me!

Oh how my neck is toasty warm! The infinity scarf is much more practical than a normal scarf. As I run through the rain to get to my car, I don’t have to worry about it being swept away by an angry gust of wind. 

The Better Way to Say Thank You

Right now I’m in the middle of the college application process. For those of you have been in my shoes, I’m sure you know that life is a flurry of essays, stress, and of course teacher recommendations. I’m lucky enough to have two really great teachers supporting me, so it only seems natural that I say thanks, right? Of course. And The Better Martha can never can show her gratitude with just a simple, “thank you.” Cookies and a personalized note are musts!
