Biters Bliss

My nails are always the first to go when it comes to feeling stressed or anxious and sometimes just because I'm bored. Yes, I'm a biter. Usually I go to the salon and pay $30 + to get those beautiful french tips but recently I found a very inexpensive and efficient way to get the same look.

Leftovers... Not Just Food

If you follow the blog then you recently saw that I reupholstered my kitchen table chairs, which turned out

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G 

When they were complete I had some left over fabric that sat on my kitchen table for quiet a few days after and obviously for this great idea. I took the remaining fabric and stapled it behind one of the shadow boxes in the same room. And Ta-Da!

This is totally a "Definitely Do" that takes very little time and effort. The most difficult part was trying to get it back on the wall, that's when I called in the big guns... my husband.

"Definitely Do" Top Three DIY Picks: Easy Peasy Ideas to Simplify Your Life

1. Cereal Container for Car Trash



When I saw this on Pinterest I was immediately in love. My car, with the help of two little ones, is always a mess. From lollipop wrappers, to miscellaneous toys, and even french toast sticks left over from a few days earlier, it is inevitably difficult to keep up with all the trash. I usually just try to throw it all in an empty fast food bag or plastic grocery bag. High class, right?

For around $7 you can find a cereal container at Wal Mart, Target and pretty much any home store. If you don't feel like making the trip out to get one check out The Container Store online.

Wreath O' Yarn -- Guest Blogger Review

Each month we will have a guest blogger join us to write about a "Definitely Do" or "Definitely Don't" that they have made and reviewed from pinterest.com and another DIY Blogs. This month a good friend of mine, Rachel, is going to share with us her review on a pin she found on Pinterest.

So two things you should know about me 1. I have always LOVED making crafts, 2. I kind of stink at them. So if I can do it, ANYONE can do it!!!!! I saw this wreath and it looked doable…and it TOTALLY WAS and it looks fabulous! I haven’t quite finished with the garnish so for now it’s just got a pretty bow! The biggest mistake I made was my color choice. I wasn’t really sure how this was going to look, so I just picked a yarn that was on sale. I have a dark blue door and I bought dark purple yarn…so it’s a little difficult to see. Otherwise I love it and I’m very happy with the way it turned out! Plus it was super cheap!! The wreath itself was about $2.99 and I think the yarn was $1.00. This is a "DEFINITELY DO"!!!!
