DIY Studded T-Shirt


DIY Studded T-ShirtOnly a few things are needed and it will only cost a few dollars! Those are the best DIY projects. You need studs, which can be found online or at a craft/fabric store. Also, gather up some fabric glue and whatever shirt you decide to decorate. I love to decorate! Get super creative with where to put the studs and how to decorate your shirt! Once you have your design, poke the studs through the shirt and fold the edges down (this keeps you from getting poked). Fabric glue helps be sure the studs are on there good and tight!

DIY Kool-Aid Lip Stain

Kool-aid isn’t really a fall beverage. It does make a really terrific lip stain perfect for any season! Waste not, want not-use up that old Kool-aid and you will end with the most gorgeous DIY Lip Stain!

DIY Kool-Aid Lip Stain

The most difficult step in this DIY is deciding on the color of your Kool-aid! You can mix and match to get the perfect hue or stick with the packaged flavors. Cherry will get you orange red, tropical punch ends up bright red, and pink lemonade is barbie pink. Peach mango will be a nice and peachy, Strawberry Kiwi ends is a pretty light red, and grape is a light shade of purple! Once your color is picked, all you need to do is dampen your finger or lick your lips and press a coat of the powder on. Rub it completely over your lips and then go back with a Q-tip to smooth out any uneven spots or clumps. Wow! Check out the Kool DIY Lip Stain- The Beauty Department 

DIY Clementine All Natural Cleaner

I hate cleaning my house! Lately I feel like I am channeling my inner Cinderella all day long! Somebody has to do it. I am always looking for new and better cleaners to get the job done. I am really liking DIY Clementine All Natural Cleaner!
DIY Clementine All Natural Cleaner

What else would be in an all natural cleaner other than vinegar? You will need 4 clementines, distilled white vinegar, and a jar with a lid. Peel the clementines and eat them (I guess you could throw them away). Put the peels in the jar and cover with vinegar. This cleaner is great but isn’t an overnight-er. It needs to marinate for at least 10 days and up to 30 (be sure to shake it every once in a while). When your mix is ready, use 2 parts water and 1 part clementine solution. Now you are ready clean!

DIY Poem Script Scarf

I love this! Such a beautiful scarf and just in time for the blustery weather! Run out and grab a scarf and some TeeJuice Markers (fabric markers) and you are minutes away from adding something amazing to your wardrobe! That really is all you need. That and some prose or lines that make you swoon. Before you start, lay something down so your markers don’t bleed through. Also, be sure to practice a few words on cardboard or scratch paper before you get going on your “pashmina.” When you are done, let it dry completely and then iron with a cloth over it to make the ink permanent. Easy, yes?! Thanks Stamp 48 –Follow the link for the DIY Poem Script Scarf!

How to Wear Red Lipstick

I am starting small and working my way up to ruby red lips! You want to be bold and own this look but if you aren’t there yet, it’s no shame. I’m not ready yet either! Start with a soft color or a lip balm underneath to tone down your color and when your ready go for a bolder color and ditch the balm. When you are ready to go big, its all about the prep work to be sure your lips keep rockin your new red lipstick.

Butterfingers! I rush about in the mornings and things fly around like crazy! It couldn’t be more sad when my makeup compacts and eye shadow  fall and shatter into a billion pieces. Now there is a way to salvage abused makeup! Fix Crumbling Makeup all on your own!

Fix Crumbling Makeup


I keep my makeup around as long as I can, it’s like a competition with myself to see how long it will last! So breaking it is devastating! Now there is a way to salvage the broken pieces of our foundation. You need the original container the makeup was in, rubbing alcohol, and  something to stir with. First crush up the already broken makeup even more (into a powder) and add the alcohol. You want a smooth spreadable consistency (peanut butter-ish). Smooth out your mix in the original compact and let it dry overnight. It won’t look like it’s new from the store, but it will work like it is!
