Home Hair Coloring Tips

May 28, 2020 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

Dying your hair at home can be a mix of different emotions. On one hand, you are saving money but on the other, you didn’t actually go to school to learn how to do it! So, what should you do? As a cosmetologist myself, I am obviously a supporter of regularly visiting a salon. I am also a supporter of letting people be creative. So much of my love of hair came from dying my own hair. I was encouraged to try new things and I was able to learn a lot! I still got my hair dyed and cut by a professional relatively regularly but I think being able to dye your hair at home is something that is and should be part of the human experience! In this post, I want to give you all the tools you need to have a positive home hair coloring experience!

I love creating an upcycle project. I love the idea of turning something into something completely different! That’s why when IGLOO challenged me to take one of their new RECOOL coolers, made of 100% biodegradable materials and turn it into something else, I was up for the challenge!

Kid Craft: Puffy Finger Paint Recipe

May 6, 2020 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

I absolutely love to craft with my girls. Sometimes it can get pretty crazy, but that is part of the fun and the experience! Before I was a mom, I would substitute teach at a special needs preschool every once and a while. The teachers there taught me the coolest trick for making puffy finger paint! I couldn’t wait to use it with my own kids. It was so fun to do with my daughter. Although it took her a little while to warm up to the idea of putting her hands in the paint, she was a total natural once she really dug in and got her hands dirty! One really great part about this Kid Craft: Puffy Finger Paint Recipe, is that it is made of just 3 ingredients that you probably already have at your house!

How to Treat Yourself from Home

Treating yourself is something that is really important for your mental health. At least it is for mine. Doing something for myself helps give a little reminder to myself that I am worth spending time on. It is easy to get wrapped up in the tasks of the day, forgetting all about yourself. While there is nothing wrong with having a productive, selfless day, it is really important to remember to treat yourself with some love.

Going out isn’t always an option, so it’s crucial to have a few ways that you can treat yourself at home!

I love when it is finally time to decorate my porch for Spring! After having very little color on my porch, decorating with Spring colors makes my heart so happy! I wanted to keep my porch fairly simple but bring in some pops of color. To bring a little more personality to my porch, I knew it needed a cute homemade porch sign.

I love how the buffalo plaid letters and the colorful flower looks together. It is just the right thing to take up the space on the other side of my door and it helps tie everything together on my porch. …
