13 Cute Kitchen Utensils For The College Girlies
As you deck out your new dorm kitchenette or even your very first apartment kitchen, there are so many things to consider. Of course, you need the pantry staples such as rice, pasta, olive oil, jarred sauce, and the like. Then, you have to consider if you have all of the bowls, plates, mugs, and more that you need, and if you have to buy the items new or if they're available in thrift stores. After you have the basics in order, clearly it's time for the fun stuff, and no, I am not talking about themed decor and matching placemats. I am talking about trendy and cute kitchen utensils.
