DIY Decorating Days

Having flowers in a room adds a unique element of nature. For $3 I was able to make this beautiful (and long lasting) piece for my room. I used a couple flowers and a vase to accomplish this. Some things you will need; scissors, hot glue gun and glue, some flowers and a vase. I purchased the two bunches of flowers and the vase at a local dollar store. The vase I used was 3 1/2 inches tall (8 1/2 centimeters). For the look I wanted to achieve, I needed the flowers to be a bit taller so I used the scissors to cut them to 4 inches (10 1/2 centimeters). I used four yellow flowers and five pink to alternate colors. For additional assembly I used flower tape, which is green to match the stems of the flowers. I bunched the flowers together, alternating the colors, and used the tape to secure all the stems. I glued the flowers to bottom of the vase for a secure hold. I added ribbon I already had and some pink heart-shaped pebbles to hide ...

DIY School Supplies

Image
So I have less than a week before I go back to school and thought I would share easy and cute DIY's!!!We all know last minute school shopping doesn't leave many visually appealing supplies so I thought if you are in this situation here is an easy life-hack.  To make cute supplies you will have to: 1. Make sure the surface of the supplies are free of label or tags. 2. Take the wrapping paper and cut a piece that will fit the front and/or back of the supplies. *Tip* For a notebook, punch out holes before hand so it looks clean and not messy. 3. Start covering the surface using the glue stick and putting the wrapping paper on the glued area. *Tip* I like to go from left to right, it helps to smooth the paper as you lay it down to prevent air bubbles. 4. Option 1: Cut off excess paper and tape down the edges.     Option 2: Using liquid glue, fold excess paper and glue to the inside of the surface. And viola! You have new & cute school suppli...

Back to school!!!

Image
It's the first of August and it's officially back-to-school time and most of us are planning what we're going to get for school. I have some tips you might want to check out to make your school shopping a bit easier and things that can help you stay organized throughout the year. Also click any of the pictures below for videos by Macbby11 aka Alisha Marie! One of the top things to buy for school are notebooks, especially the ones with built in pockets and dividers. Notebooks help me keep notes from class together verses loose papers all over the place. Also they keep all my class handouts and homework assignments in place. Another essential thing to buy when going back to school is an Agenda or Planner. Without this I would be lost! Between schoolwork, clubs and church I'm always busy and need to stay on top of things. I usually like to use small post it notes to remind me of an important assignment/event.  Lets say while you were shopping you scored an...

Hair Care Routine

Image
Before I start I wanted to give some background info on my hair. I have fairly long and really curly hair so some of the products I use may have varying results. And as a result of my hair being so long and curly I wash it once a week. Washing it several times a week isn't realistic since the washing/drying/straightening process takes about 2 hours. When starting the washing process I usually start off with a hair mask. When my hair is particularly dry I like to put in the hair mask to put some nutrients back in my hair.  DIY hair mask: - 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise  - 1 egg Mix the mayonnaise and raw egg in a bowl, for extra added nutrients add in a slice of avocado. The consistency of the mask should be thick,if the avocado is added, if not the mixture should be more of a liquid. After you get the right consistency apply the mask all throughout your hair. Leave it in for 15-20  minutes and then wash out. Warning this mask does not smell the best so be min...
