You're charger needs an update. It needs to be personalized and not just that plain boxy white charger everyone has....
.......
You need a glittery contraption that will not only bring energy to your phone, but to bedazzle your life and make sure everyone knows it's yours. Okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I do have a nice way to add a bit of an update to your phone charger =)
First, pull the cord out and lay this part on a flat surface.
Make sure you don't paint on the cord or the silver parts inserted into your phone/computer.

Get any anil polish that you like best and paint it! It's best if you use something sparkly or at least some sort of sparkle on top, or else it will look more painted on.
While the object above dries, move on to the smaller parts.
After you've touched up the paint, give it a nice clear coat.
What do you think?

I've been feeling like painting with nail polish lately. Change something up, you know? I'm getting better at painting my fingernails, but I have trouble with pedicures. I decided to make a tutorial on an amateur pedicure that looks like its from someone much higher up there (hopefully!)
STEP ONE
STEP ONE
Trim, smooth, and paint your nails. Don't worry if you
go outside the lines, that is what the next step is for. Just make sure you get a smooth foundation.
(sorry for bad picture) using a remover soaked q-tip, touch up your nail. (Horrible nails for emaphsis)
Better! But still not what we're going for....
So we repeat. By using this process, you get a smooth look where as if you merely focusing on staying inside the lines would result in a thin, rather bumpy pedicure. (Tip-don't make it too thick or it will rub off)
Use a sparkly polish on top of that (I do realize some of it is on my toe, while taking a picture it kinda got mashed on it). The sparkle looks great and proffessional while hiding some of the minor mistakes (uneven base, etc) Add touch ups until nice and sparkly, then put a clear coat on top.
Done!

School has started. Sports and homework pile up unforgiving. You barely can handle for the annual responsibilities and keeping your head above the water, no time for doing things that you enjoy,right? Much less time for more extra people, right? There is time in the day, it just might be at odd intervals. If you make something for someone else, it will make their day, and you'll feel incredible yourself. There's no excuse for waking up a little earlier and making a thoughtful gift when you have a little free time. So whoever you're you plan on making something for, I have a few ideas that are dirt cheap and mostly can be made quickly (or slowly accumulated over periods of time.)
Who doesn't need a planner at the beginnning of a school year? Especially one this cute? Credit and instruction here.
What better way to bring happiness? It's all compitable in a nice little box, so you can send it to someone who lives farway. Seriously, just looking at it makes you kinda happy.

These are made from strips of ribbon, lace, velvet, and odd pieces of jewelry. It's so cute and useful. This website also includes 24 other homeade gifts you can make. Credit here.
Cake in a jar-easy, single serve cups of cake. The possibilities are endless, and it's not as cliche as a plate of cookies (which are still delectible, just not as original). Credit here.
Hot chocolate truffle balls. Drop into a mug of warm milk and it turns into delicous hot chocloate. Great to bag up and put in a mug as a gift for when it cools down! Credit here
I hope these five random gifts help you think of a gift idea for someone that often gets overlooked (parents, grandparents, teachers, neighbors).
Happy gifting!

Hi guys!
The other day, I went into my sister's room and randomly saw Woody & Jessie. When I was little, I took them everywhere. Not kidding! I would play with them before the food came to our table at restaurants, when my cousins came over, and just because I could.
Needless to say, they got pretty worn out. And now, years later, they are still working when you pull the string and no body parts are missing! (Bullseye isn't so lucky, :). However, grime from years of play kinda got to them. So, as I looked over their dirty body, I decided that I would do a simple little thing to clean their plastic parts, like the face. It's real easy and, most importantly, it works.
I couldn't focus on all the yuck, but you can see some of the dirt. (Before picture)
Here's what I did for my two ingredient, two step secret cleaning formula ~*~
STEP ONE Mix baking soda and water in a bowl, until you get a gritty paste.
STEP TWO With an old toothbrush, gently scrub a thing layer of the paste onto their face. Scrub for about ten seconds, then with a wet rag wipe the paste off. (You may need a Q-tip to get it from under their eyes and noses).
(after picture)
That's all. Really! It's so easy to do, and easy to clean up. Did I mention inexpensive? These dolls are at over ten years old too, and you can't tell at all. Did I just hear someone gasp? ;) good luck!

Sorry for not posting in a long time. Not that anyone reads it. Anyway, this Thursday I was going to go to my Grandparent's cabin in Arkansas. I cannot even describe how much fun and relaxing it is there. Seriously. I haven't been in almost a year, so I was really excited. Checked the weather today and turns out its going to be rainy all weekend and have severe thunderstorms. Literally washed my dream down the drain.
I don't know what I'm going to do this Spring Break. Hannah is going to be busy, and we can't go anywhere. I don't mean to sound selfish or anything, but I was really looking forward to going to the Cabin. I'll find something, I'm sure, but still, ya know?
