Random Musing: What Do Your Feet Say About You?

I came across a funny post on Facebook showing a picture of feet and how the shape of them tells you your roots - Greek, Roman, Egyptian, etc. Well, I got to thinking about what my feet say about me at a more personal level. I found this quick quiz that tells you what your feet say about you. It's a simple 8 question quiz and you'll get a full synopsis of what your feet say about you. I was surprised, mine was very accurate. What about you?

Get Seen on Facebook

I want to make sure that you see your favorite feeds on Facebook...including mine of course! You may have seen that Facebook has made another round of changes - again. Here's a couple of ways to make sure that you see my posts in your feed as well as your other faves.

Go to Finding Charm's Facebook page and hover over the "Liked" button. A little window will show up with the following options: Get Notifications, Show in News Feed, and Add to Interest Lists.

Be sure to click on Show in News Feed or Get Notifications. I wouldn't do both because you will get duplicate content and that's not necessary. Show in News Feed does exactly what it says, but if you select Get Notifications, you will receive a message that I have made a post. Now you can better organize your Facebook feeds from your favorite pages.

Pinterest Meal of the Week

I love Greek food. I work near a cute little hole in the wall cafe that serves gyros, kabobs, and baklava. I enjoy that he also puts a Greek spin on typical American dishes. I had not been in the cafe recently, because I've cut back on extras like going out to eat. I ventured in on Friday and it inspired me to make a Greek dinner post.

Pinterest Meal Idea of the Week

Starting to warm up outside, days are getting longer, and that means Spring is around the corner. So we'll be busy outside and making fun and exciting plans to spend our time. I've put together a meal that utilizes many shortcuts. One is a crock pot meal, another a prepackaged item dressed up, and then for dessert something quick and easy to whip up - literally!

Handmade Artist: Wyndwalker Creations

Another crafty couple to talk about today at Wyndwalker Creations. This creative duo make a variety of items from antler, bone, to weaving - beads and fiber. I particularly liked reading about how the crafting took off. The two started participating in living history events of the 1840s. They became so involved with the way of living over 150 years ago, that their items are inspired from the time period. How cool is that? Let's take a walk down memory lane through they eyes of Wyndwalker Creations.
