Summer Fun with Special Guests!

Hello crafty girls!

Summer is finally here! I am excited about it, but I do have a love/hate relationship with it. I love the flowers booming and the fun outdoor activities, but I also strongly dislike the heat! As you can tell by my pale skin color, the sun is not my friend! Nonetheless, the break we get in the summertime is amazing, so that makes up for it! To initiate summer, I have some special guests. Who are the lovely ladies here you might ask? Well, I want to introduce to you all my sister and friend. I know you are probably figuring out which one is which, but you will be surprised! My sister, Norma, is the beautiful brunette in the purple dress. So now it brings me to my awesome friend Madeline. She has her own blog now (yeyyy), so you all can check her out to view her amazing bohemian style!

It has been a long time since I have blogged or made a YouTube video and I have definitely missed it. Now that it is summer, I want to revamp my blog and YouTube. I have a lot of fashion ideas, so I hope you all like it! Have a fashionable summer pretty girls ♥

DIY: Jewelry Box

 
Hello crafty girls!! 

So this is literally the easiest DIY ever because you don't have to do anything, just accept sweet little gifts from the fellas ;-) haha! Whether it's a box of delicious Ferrero Rocher chocolates or the beautiful Valentines day sweets, the boxes all make perfect earrings and ring holders!! On some boxes you can even remove the bottom where the chocolates were, and have enough space for any jewelry piece you want! Ahhh why can't everything in life be this sweet ;-). Happy crafting ♥

Nail of the Month: Glittery Accents

Hello crafty girls! These are the styles I rocked June and July. Believe it or not this is my first time joining the "accent nail" trend. The idea of having different nail went against my symmetrical law of nature! But I finally crossed over to the dark side and loved it (Haha!) I see a whole new world of nail designs now! I can't wait to keep experimenting and start doing more nail tutorials!

DIY: Decorate Your Shoes

Hello crafty girls! I'm so excited about this new DIY because it is very dear to me. Why is that you might ask? Well, this is THE project that made me decide to actually start a blog and a YouTube channel! So why did it take me so long to make and post it? Well I'm such a perfectionist and now with more experience and savvy technical skills acquired, I was finally able to make the video I envisioned!! So I hope you all enjoy it!

Decorating and personalizing your shoes is much simpler than you might think! With just a little bit of creativity you can make infinite designs that will wow your friends! You will get allot of, "Where did you get your shoes"? Then you can proudly respond, "Oh these, I designed them myself ;-)".  Awesome right!? It is also a great project for summer because let's face it, going back to school is all about new shoes, clothes, supplies, etc. So why not get a head start on a pair (or two) of newly designed shoes right?! I hope you try it out and have a crafty summer!! ♥ 

 

My Mother's Day Outfit!

Hello crafty girls! I hope you all had an amazing mother's day, as a mother or daughter, or both!! I'm fortunate to have the best mother ever! She had an amazing Mother's day full of fun and love! This was my outfit for a nice but casual day of shopping and dining! A jean jacket is a great way to take a formal dress from night to day. To finish the look I chose a sandy color cross body bag and wedges and a fun animal print belt. Have fun with fashion, and don't forget that you all are beautiful!

What I wore:

Michele Bohbot Jean Jacket
Enfocus Studio navy ruffled dress
Charlotte Russe animal print belt
Ann Taylor Loft Bracelets
Fossil Watch
Impo wedges (super comfy and inexpensive)

Gift For All Occations: Cake Pops!!

Hello crafty girls! Since Mother's Day is coming up I wanted to do a DIY that you can also do for ANY HOLIDAY! What is tastier and cuter than some cake pops?! They are easy, but a little time consuming I must admit. Nonetheless, they are completely worth it! Here is how I whipped them up!

Ingredients: Any cake mix, cream cheese icing, candy melts, lollipop sticks, and any form of decoration (sprinkles, chocolate, icing, etc).

Super easy instructions:
1. Follow instructions on the cake mix and bake.
2. Once it cools mash it all up and add the icing mixing evenly.
3. Make your balls (place on cooking sheet) and refrigerate for a few hours, or freeze it like I did for like 45 minutes.
4. Heat up the candy melts and first dip the tips of the lollipop sticks to stick on the balls. Let it harden.
5. Now coat the whole ball with the candy melt mixture, decorate, and let it dry & harden (I used a foam piece).


Now all you have to do is either package them individually in little plastic bags or the whole base and pops with plastic wrapping. That's it!! Hopefully you love them because they are a great gift! I hope my instructional pictures help you visualize the easy process.

Happy Mother's Day and Happy Crafting :-)!

PS. This gift ideas is even great for men! Here is my picture to prove it ;-) lol! The Mustache stencil is from here: http://www.kandeej.com/2011/12/diy-craft-gift-idea-mustache-mug.html . Happy Holidays!

April Nail of the Month: Animal Instincts

Hands down (pun intended  ha!) I had to give the Nail of the Month mention to my lovely little sister! Are these just not the cutest!?! It is a girly and colorful interpretation of a zebra print in red and hot pink! She used the stamping nail art kit (yes yet again). What can I say, it is our new little obsession. But why spend a lot of money on a salon manicure while you can make gorgeous, salon quality designs at home, and fast! But I promise the nail of the month for May (which is what I am rocking right now) is more simple and without the stamping nail art kit. So I hope our designs serve as inspiration for you to have some fun with your nails, because they are also a great accessory! Happy crafting :-) 

February Nail of the Month: Sexy Lace

Instead of going CUTESY and LITERAL with hearts everywhere, I chose a sexy little number in LACE ;-). Don't forget to be creative and have fun with your nail designs! I created this look using my beloved Stamping Nail Art kit!
