The second explanation for America’s size all but forgives Alicia and others for their flights of gluttony. Their problem isn’t personal but environmental, it holds, an inevitable result of living in a country of cars, televisions, cheap corn, snack foods, and immoral advertising to children. These forces and “the forces within us,” according to The Weight of the Nation, a diet-book companion to the new HBO documentary , “work in ways beyond our control and outside our awareness.” This idea was on display at the Riveras’ local supermarket. Alicia walked me and her family to a pile of red apples, an “everyday value” at $1.99 a pound. Alicia took two and placed them on a scale. “You see that?” she said. The cost would be a dollar an apple. At the end of the aisle jumbo bags of chips leaned toward us for half that price. The next aisle was a gauntlet of breakfast cereal and candy, a seemingly odd combination unless you’ve ever walked such an aisle with a child. Taina zigzagged from boxes of toy-and-cartoon-festooned sugar cereals to candy bars and back again, as Alicia tried to subdue her with promises of “later, later.” “They don’t make it easy for us,” she said, wearily.
My hot pink glassine bags came in the mail the other day. I ordered them from Etsy and I couldn’t have been happier.
Now, I’m not really a DIY-er, but I’m trying to be. You know, DIY is the cool and hip thing to do when you’re a blogger bride, so I’ve little by little tried to DIY (cupcake flags and paper flowers for our engagement shoot were my first attempts). I figured glassine bags would be another good attempt that couldn’t go wrong. Aren’t they beautiful?
Since we’ll be using them for our candy buffet, and I was able to use my awesome stamp from another wonderful Etsy vendor, StampOutOnline.
I took a picture of my end result and I think they came out really well! If you’re curious, I used Staz On ink and I really liked it. It took a few minutes for the ink to dry (so if you do a project with this ink, make sure you don’t stack them until they’re dry).
Here is a picture of our candy buffet bags (don’t mind the terrible cell phone pic): Hey all! I'm Stephanie and I'm 24 years old. I got engaged on July 17, 2010 (my birthday) to Mathew, age 23. He is more than anything I could've ever dreamed up, and I know that our initial meeting was not just by chance. Our wedding date is December 3, 2011 and we are so excited to share our wedding experience with all of you! I also have a personal blog at futuremrsmathewwolfe.blogspot.com if you'd like to check it out!
