Stuff the makes me excited!

So evidently I find joy in saving money...or thinking that I am. :) I like to buy my hair products and perfumes on fragrence.net because if you spend more than $75(it is only saving if you need the stuff) you don't have to pay shipping, and they sell their products for cheaper than retail pricing!
Yeah I am a nerd...I know. Also the iPhone came out with this genius application called shopstyle and I LOVE IT! I really don't need to spend money, but it is always fun to look right?!
I have also developed a fetish for houseware products :)

I decided one day when I am done with school, and have a house I am going to buy a wheel! No not the steering wheel on a car but an actual wheel-to make pots on! I haven't done it for a few years, but there are seldom things more relaxing than throwing clay on the wheel. I will take some pictures of the stuff that I have made and put it up.

This past summer I had a plan of how I was going to pay my way through college...let me know what you think about it because it still has yet to happen:)
1. I sent In-N-Out a letter stating that although they are a corporate owned company, they should let me franchise an In-N-Out in Rexburg Idaho-where I go to school. BYU-Idaho has a year round supply of students that keep the town alive, and much like that of Provo-although Provo is much larger in population-just their In-N-Out drive thru line ALWAYS wrapping around or even out of the parking lot. Why would they not want to make such an investment? I do not know. There biggest competition is McDonalds(YUCK) ...and lets be real when it comes down to it people are going to choose In-N-Out! But they rejected my genius plan so I had to devise yet another plan that is still in the process of being thought of...suggestions will be taken:)

2. My second idea had to do with water. In my Environmental Stewardship class we learned how water from the faucet costs approximately $4 dollars/1000 gallons, whereas bottled water costs about $4 for 24 bottles. WHAT A RIP OFF! So I thought you know what everyone likes flavored drink, rather than just bland water. So why not create my own-cheaper drink that I can sell for say $.50 instead of the average $1.25 on a good flavored drink? How much does a plastic bottle cost? My guess is probably less than .10cents. The flavoring, because it is scientifically created and modified won't be as expensive as actual sugar so per one unit sold I would make about $.35 cents. If I mass produce these things...then walaa...I am SET :) and it would not just be me benefiting from this, but the poor college students as well.
It was brought to my attention that these things have to be regulated by the FDA and take years to pass, and have to pass laws and bla bla bla...so that was a little discouraging but I think this matter requires a little more research than what I have put in.
3. Sell old clothes that I don't want anymore to savvy seconds:)

I might have to add on to these ideas in the past!
