I have a thing for map art. Something about viewing a depiction of the continents is just as appealing to me as gazing at a van Gogh. Perhaps it’s my traveler’s soul, or maybe I’m just fascinated by the notion that we’re all slowly drifting together and apart at the same time. Either way, I like map art and it […]

Every now and then I come across a DIY that is simply awesome and awesomely simple at the same time. When it happens, I usually do a happy dance and then get crafting. This time I’m taking a quick pit stop between dance and craft to share my super nifty find with you! This DIY Tape […]

I admire anyone who can make magic happen with bobby pins, some hair spray, and a brush. I do my best to make updos work for me, but I require a pretty detailed tutorial and lots of practice (like so many lots that my arms start to fall asleep before I figure it out sometimes). […]

I think I may have mentioned this once or twice, but I refuse to pay ridiculous prices at home decor stores for items I can make for much less on my own, especially when that allows me to customize the piece to my taste and needs. I have always admired the lean against wall ladders […]

Believe it or not, high fashion sweatshirts are one of spring 2013′s hot new trends. After all those years of being told that sweatshirts are not meant to leave the house by fashionistas in the know, it seems the way I have been dressing to go to to grocery store for years now makes me […]

We have all experienced that “Oh no!” moment when we realize we have cracked a foundation compact, shattered an eye shadow, or melted a lipstick. You may even exclaim something a lot worse if the cosmetic you have broken is brand new. But don’t fret! You may still be able to salvage your broken make […]

I am not big on traditional lipstick. I feel like no matter what shade I chose at best I look like a little kid playing dress up and at worse the joker a la Jack Nicholson. I tend to lean towards glosses and balms for this reason, and when I saw this DIY Pink Lip […]

This month’s Little Nails manicure look of the month is Glitter Mania! Enjoy :) Little Nails is a great blog run by a nail polish enthusiast named Rosie from Sydney, Australia. She was a chronic nail biter until she realized having beautifully polished nails kept her from chewing away. She does of all these amazing manicures herself […]

I have been on a fashion DIY roll lately and my latest find comes from Natalie at My Little Secrets. Nautical themed fashion has been all over the place lately, and I’m fan, but horizontal stripes are not my friend. Anchors, on the other hand, I can totally rock (and have often via jewelry) so […]

There are enough amazing DIYs by Laure Parke at A Girl Who Makes to keep you busy for months, but this particular DIY is my personal favorite from the site. If I have said it once, I have said it a million times, I am huge fan of simple do-it-yourself projects that have big impact. Of […]

I have been all about fashion DIYs lately. I especially like the ones that teach you how to turn something you already own into a fashionable new creation. Being a bargain shopper extraordinaire, I tend to grab boring or bland pieces that are ridiculously marked down telling myself that I will find a way to glitz them […]

My artistic talents are limited, but I seem to have a flair for fancy manicures. I’m always on the look out for fun new designs and this one by Small Good Things caught my eye right away. The alternating nail color is completely on trend, but what I really liked about it was the adorable “fairy lights” […]

Beautiful do it yourself projects that are so simple you wonder why you never thought of them always catch my eye. This   DIY Leopard Print Gold Leaf Tray by A Creative Day is one such DIY. All you need to make this project at home is a gold leaf pen, a little creative flair, and […]
