5 Pretty little stocking stuffers

Friday, December 16, 2016

Hey my peeps, it's been a minute since I've posted. Have you missed me? With Christmas just around the corner, I thought I'd give you all a list of my favorite things at the moment that are small enough to fit in a stocking and will score you major points points with all the ladies in your life. And if you know me personally and you're reading this, it's not too late to buy them for me, just sayin'.

1. Benefit's POREfessional face primer. This stuff makes my face feel sooo good. Ooh I just want to drink it. Your foundation will go on so good, you won't believe it.

2. Also from Benefit, the mini Hoola Bronzer. This bronzer looks good on literally every skin tone. I love that it comes in the travel size because it's half the price as the regular one and it lasts FOREVER. It's a matte powder so its perfect for contouring.

3. "All tied up" choker from Charming Charlies. This choker is only $8 and would be so cute to wear to your new year's eve party!

4. The cutest beanie from American Eagle. Snag this up while it's half off.

5. OPI Breakfast at Tiffany's 10 piece polish set. Although I'm a huge fan of gel polish, I always, always wear traditional polish on my tootsies. The colors in this kit are to die for.

If you need any last minute gifts for your wife, mom, sister, girlfriend, or best friend, you can't go wrong with any of these ideas. Happy shopping.

Deerhead burlap bunting

Sunday, November 27, 2016

My mom and I made these super cute, super easy banners. All you need to make them is:

-Burlap (I bought mine pre-cut)
-Twine
-Ribbon of your choice
-White paint
-Stenciling paint brush
-Deer head stencil (we printed a deer head on the computer and cut it out)
-Hot glue gun

First, you'll stencil the deer heads on each of the burlap pieces. The paint dries super fast. Then you'll hot glue each of the pieces to your twine. Put about 2" between pieces to tie your ribbon. Once they're all hot glued, tie the ribbon of choice between each piece. You can add a red rhinestone to the noses if you want to make them supa flashy. I was going to do that and then decided to keep them simple. I hope you have fun making them and make sure to tag me on instagram so I can see yours!
