It’s National NSYNC Day! The infamous misheard lyrics of “It’s Gonna Be Me” went viral enough to turn April 30th into the holiday I always dreamed of as an NSYNC obsessed preteen. What a better way to celebrate the fact that “It’s gonna be May” than to share these amazingly nostalgic NSYNC DIY projects that will truly have you wishing it was 2000 again.
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.
Making personalized doormats might seem a little intimidating but they are so easy to make! To make your own doormat, you will need… [Read more…]

I searched high and low to find some of the very best DIY modern Christmas decorations that people would actually want to try to make. These are all so beautiful!
It is no secret that I love stripes. They are in the decor throughout my house, my closet is full of them, and I dress my kids in a lot of stripes. I mean, how can you NOT love a good stripe?!

Willy Wonka is a family favorite at our house. We love the book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the movies.

When I was in a salon full time, my clients would ask me how they could extend the wear of their haircut. I would give them shampoo, conditioner, and hair product recommendations, but the trick that they seemed to be most excited about was when I would teach them how to cut your own split ends.
Cutting your own split ends isn’t as scary as it sounds. You aren’t changing your haircut in any way and you aren’t even taking length off of your hair. You are simply cutting the split ends off of your hair, in order to keep your hair healthy and let you go a few extra weeks between haircuts. Let’s face it, most people drag the weeks between haircuts anyway, so why not have the tools you need to keep your hair healthy between them rather than getting to the cosmetologist with hair that is totally destroyed from split ends.
By cutting your own split ends, you can go a little longer in between haircuts or just make sure that your hair is in tip top shape all of the time. Cutting my own split ends is really my biggest secret to having healthy, beautiful hair! And guess what? It isn’t hard to do at all! In fact, it is easy enough that any of you can do it! All you need is a comb and a pair of scissors. [Read more…]
Do you like the idea of bath bombs, but can’t handle the thoughts of taking a bath? Shower steamers are going to be your new favorite thing! Shower steamers are basically bath bombs, for showers. They don’t have all of the extra products that are used for your skin, but they are made to create the perfect aromatherapy in the shower. I have some really great shower steamer recipes in the works, but I wanted to start out with a favorite of mine. These awakening citrus shower steamers are made for those early morning showers that you just can’t seem to get your body to wake up for!
The incredible citrus scents make your senses wake up and help you get ready to take on a big day. I also love that this citrus makes the entire bathroom smell fresh and clean! These shower steamers are insanely easy to make and are made with very few ingredients. Here is what you will need… [Read more…]
It was the 100 day of school recently and we had to make a shirt with 100 of something on it. When I talked with my kindergartner, she instantly knew she wanted 100 hearts on her shirt! Instead of cutting and gluing 100 hearts on a shirt, I wanted to make a shirt that she could wear again and again… without totally wasting a shirt.
This shirt looks a lot more complicated to make than it actually was. Here is what I used to make the 100 day of school shirt… [Read more…]
