Nail Tutorial (on YouTube!)



Hey guys! I was playing around with some stuff today and I decided to make a nail tutorial and upload it on YouTube. I really like making videos and it was really fun to put this one together. I thought that it also would be easier for you guys to follow along to, more so than a few pictures. Please comment, like and subscribe if you like the video and want to see more! And remember to watch in HD for best quality!

These nails were inspired by an Instagram post I saw on Chi Nail Bar's page and I tried to re-create the look. Obviously they are not nearly as professional as the real thing, but I tried to make it simple to follow along to and also use the things that I had. I hope you all enjoy it and try it out!

DIY: Floral Sunglasses



While looking through the blog Cupcakes and Cashmere I stumbled upon {this} image of some super cool sunglasses! I though I'd be able to make my own version of them and I did! I wanted to share this with you because it was really easy and fun. It is super simple and takes very little time. This would make a fun gift for someone or just a way to spruce up some old sunnies. Let's get started!







What You'll Need

- An old pair of sunglasses with frames thick enough to glue thing onto.
- Assorted flower buttons or charms
- Hot glue

Directions

Step One: Apply the hot glue the back of the flower. Put enough so that it'll stick but be sure that you 
won't have any glue peeking out the sides.
Step Two: Place the flower on the rim of the glasses wherever you please. Try to have any idea of what you want it to look like before hand so you aren't randomly glueing things on. 
Step Three: After putting on your flowers you can add other things like rhinestones. I used little bead that look like pearls to finish the frames off. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this fun craft! Let me know if you try it out and how it came out. Comment down below if you'd like to see some more DIY projects because I have a few more ideas! 

XOXO Meghan

Organizing Jewelry

Image
I used to keep all my jewelry hidden in boxes and drawers and I found I never seemed to wear any of it. As the saying goes, out of sight out of mind, and that is just what I did. I wanted to create a way to store while also displaying my jewelry. I came up with a few different ways to store all my different pieces, including a DIY project I did that I'd love to share with you all!

Necklaces

My biggest dilemma was all of my shorter, more delicate necklaces. I had nowhere to put them. All my longer, chunkier necklaces are draped across my mannequin and I didn't want my smaller ones getting tangled up in that. So what I did, I cut down a tree branch from my back yard, one with lots of smaller branches coming off. I trimmed down the branches and spray painted it black and there we had it. There are similar decorations and actual jewelry organizers that resemble tree branches, especially from Urban Outfitters, but mine didn't cost a penny!
