For the past 3 years I have slowly moved away from store bought beauty products.

This project has to be one of my favorites in a long time. It was one of those things where almost everything came together as I planned it. Also- I did it over a period of days and didn’t feel to stressed about it. In this era of home-buying-madness, there is little that I don’tRead more
Remember those 3D Paper Earrings I made last summer? Well, its been almost a year and they are still going strong. The paper has held up REALLY well, and even though I let one of them sit in a puddle of water by the bathroom sink for several hours- it dried right back to perfection.Read more
Valentine’s day is over, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop! Today I’ve got a super easy and cute party game that is sure to entertain little girls for hours.
