Kids Art Display Station

April 18, 2019 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

We have a little artist at our house. She is constantly creating pictures, books, crafts, etc. Kids all over the world are just like her! The dilemma is that children’s art is so cute, but where do you display kids art in your home? We have had different versions of kids art displays in our homes we lived in in the past but none of them seemed to be big enough for the amount of art that this little girl keeps pumping out! That’s why I took matters a little further and made this giant kids art display station that is in her bedroom! Not only is it the perfect place for her to display all of her most treasured creations, but it is a place for her to be inspired to create even more artwork!

I have used various Milani makeup products over the years. I use Milani blush everyday! I have been wanting to try the new Milani Highly Rated 10-in-1 Volume Mascara and I finally grabbed some the last time I was at Walgreens.

Walgreens has a coupon for $1 off any one Milani product, so it gives you the perfect excuse to try out a new product to test on your very own!

Red Hot Chili Peppers Californication Inspired Makeup: Album Cover Makeup

April 5, 2019 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

I can’t believe that this is already my third Album Cover Makeup look! This has been such a fun project for me and I really appreciate you supporting it. This third look is inspired by the one and only Red Hot Chili Peppers Californication album.

Where do I even begin with this album? I stole this CD from my dad and listened to it on the entire ride to and from a 6th grade field trip. [Read more…]

Things to do BEFORE Selling Your House

March 21, 2019 By McKenzie 28 Comments

This post was one that I wrote in 2013 and shared a few things that we had learned about prepping our house to sell. I was excited to share tips to do before selling your house but I had no idea how popular this post would get, or just how many great tips people would share in the comments. I wanted to fix up the post a little and share some of the other tips that have been shared in the post as well to make this the holy grail of tips before selling your home. So although this post started with just 10 things to do before selling your house, this will have many more!

We put our house up for sale 2 1/2 weeks ago and boy have we learned a lot! Luckily, before listing it, I knew that there were a few things that we needed to do before we could do anything else. Once that list was all checked off, we listed our house and it has been non stop ever sense! We have had 9 showings and are hoping to find “the one” very soon! Here are a few things that I have learned that need to be done before listing your house. Ten things to do before selling your house…

Dry Shampoo Review: Battle of the Brands

March 18, 2019 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

Which dry shampoo will come on top? It is time for YOU to decide! This dry shampoo review battle of the brands has been HIGHLY anticipated and I am so excited to finally have it for all of you! I tested 10 different dry shampoos and rated them on their smell, price, residue they left behind, and how well they worked at making my hair feel clean.

I go about 15 days between washing my hair. I have done this for years and honestly didn’t think much of it until I had mentioned it to a few friends. They were blown away that I could go that long. My hair is just so used to it at this point, I am sure I could go much longer if I wanted to. 15 days seems to be my sweet spot for my hair though! I obviously wouldn’t be able to achieve this without dry shampoo, so I have quite a lot of experience with different dry shampoo brands I have used over the years. I wanted to bring back a lot of them that I have tried in the past and a few that I hadn’t ever tried before. I put 10 dry shampoos to the test, just for you guys!

With as many times as I have moved in the last 10 years, I have learned a thing or two about organization. One thing that I quickly learned was that I needed to come up with some good solutions for jewelry organization.

NSYNC No Strings Attached Inspired Makeup: Album Cover Makeup

February 27, 2019 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

It’s that time again! Time for another Album Cover Makeup look! If you missed the first month with Twenty One Pilots Trench, head on over to see it! I am beyond excited to announce the next album cover makeup look is none other than NSYNC No Strings Attached!

No Strings Attached was one of the very first albums that I ever bought. It helped shape my love of music at the ripe age of 11. I was a die hard NSYNC fan, but wasn’t ever able to see them perform live. So instead of living my middle school dreams of seeing NSYNC perform live, I lived my second best dream of becoming a puppet just like the boys of NSYNC. [Read more…]

How to Make a Doormat with Music Lyrics

February 22, 2019 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

I really love having a cute doormat, but I have always wanted to have a more personalized doormat for my style. I absolutely love music! That’s why I am doing my album cover makeup looks every month this year. I LOVE music! I have also always loved the doormats that say hello on one side and goodbye on the other side. But why make the same doormat that I have seen over and over again, when I could teach you all how to make a doormat with music lyrics that will totally set you apart from the rest?! And let’s be honest, anytime I can bring NSYNC into my home decor, I’m going to jump on the opportunity.

Dinosaur Party Ideas for Girls

February 20, 2019 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

We have a toddler who LOVES dinosaurs! She loves to “rawr” like a dinosaur, watch dinosaur shows, and wear dinosaur clothes. I knew that we needed to have a dinosaur birthday party for her when she turned two, but we wanted to make it a bright, fun party that wasn’t a “scary dinosaur” party at all. These dinosaur party ideas would be great for girls, but would totally work for boys too!
