Tassel Earrings || DIY

Do you ever read someone's blog and think, 

"Wow, I wish we lived close to each other and could be friends?"

I want to give a shout out to one of my favorite blogs Henry happened; Stephanie is a DIY queen. I can't wait until we have our house and I can start making more of the stuff she posts! One of the first things I want to make are these ~ so cute with wheat grass too! Then when I have my chick palace all set up I'll start my way though all of these amazing DIY necklaces.

Last week Stephanie posted DIY tassel earrings (instructions for a necklace too) and I couldn't wait, I had to try them this weekend. Love, so cute! I want to make more...they're addicting. These are the three I made today, the only change I made was I used wire to wrap, instead of more embroidery thread.

New Hair || Turquoise, Purple, Pink

Aloha Friday Everyone! 

Here's an update on my latest hair adventure...

First, I went on a Sally's (beauty supply store) shopping spree. My lovely sister gave me a $25 gift card for my birthday in January and I was saving it for a new hair day. Then, I got a 30% off coupon, dang I know, in the mail! Yippee!! So I stocked up on my basics and a few fun things ~ left with all this and paid only $2.44!

Sally's Spree

So on to the new hair...

I cut it, this will be the second time cutting my own hair ~ LOVE! I first found the idea from one of my favorite finance blogs And Then We Saved, then I YouTubed like crazy and watched some videos and that's all I needed to go for it. This time I cut an inch off and layered all of it framing my face. 

(The first time last November I cut about four inches off and layered, layered, layered)

Talk about saving money in the budget!

The colors...

I did an all over chocolate shade and bleached  the whole left front bang area, then colored with Manic Panic Atomic Turquoise, I have some Manic Panic Hot Hot Pink left from November so I added that to the back tips ~ the purple is from where the turquoise and pink met, awesome right!

I love it, might be my favorite hair to date.

I love make-up

I LOVE fun colored make-up

Bravo Sephora + Pantone Universe for this rad collection!

A fun colored mascara, hint of a different color liner, or a new funky polish sometimes is all you need to break out of your box of  "normal". Don't be afraid to try something new, you might surprise yourself!

Happy Friday Everyone

This is one of my favorite rings, gave you stink eye so the ring seems tougher.

Skull & Crossbones || Hot Topic

I love this leopard ring, all rhinestones...little pricey at $30 but I really couldn't leave the store without it. You know how that goes, and this is why I spend all my "spending money" in the first week of the month. 

Also, in this picture is Tarte lip tint "Enchanted "love this product - very easy to use, goes on like chap stick but smoother. They have a great color selection too! I like to keep this in my purse for any emergency touch ups - it can double as blush depending on the color you get.

Art Deco inspired earrings - black, silver, blue, chain, and rhinestone. I always feel really artsy when I wear these.

Microwave Smores, Perfect 10 Second Treat

I love S'mores and as much as I'd like to start a camp fire in my backyard to make this delicious treat...sometimes that just doesn't work.

Microwave S'mores

Ingredients

• 2 gram cracker squares
• 2 Hershey's chocolate squares
• 1 Marshmallow

1. Take two gram cracker squares place them on the plate
2. Take two Hershey's chocolate squares, break them in half so you have 4 smaller squares (melts better). Place them on one side of the gram cracker.
3. Place 1 marshmallow on it's side on top of the chocolate.
4. Place in the microwave for 6-12 seconds, depending on your microwave power WATCH IT CAREFULLY as soon as the marshmallow puffs about half it's size bigger take it out of the microwave.
5. Right when you take it out of the microwave, immediately squish the top gram cracker on top of the marshmallow.
6. Enjoy, careful it will be hot but so delicious!
