Updating dollar store ornaments to fit your colour scheme
Buying new ornaments can be really expensive. Today I’m showing you an inexpensive way to update dollar store ornaments to match any colour scheme. I change up the colour scheme of my Christmas tree every year – mainly to provide content for the blog – but also because I think I get a little bit better each year and/or I want to try something new. This year I’ve gone with a “natural neutrals” tree – browns, beiges, with a hint
My experience with permanent makeup – Combo brows, permanent eyeliner, and lip blush
Permanent makeup – my experience with nanoblading, combo brows, eyeliner tattoos, and lip blush. *This is a sponsored post. Yes, I sacrificed my aging and sun-damaged “Mom” face to the brilliance of Layal at Slay Artistry just so I could share the results with you. Trust me – I’m so glad I did! I am a child of the 80’s/90’s. Well, I was born in the 70’s, but my makeup routine was formed in the 80’s and 90’s when I

He is so beautiful all on his own, but you know I change up my Christmas tree ornaments and colours each year. I mean, what kind of a blogger would I be if I
Christmas home tour 2021
A glimpse into our family’s Christmas with this Holiday home tour 2021 Happy Sunday everyone! Stopping in today with a sort of photo essay – because what can I say beyond “Christmas Home Tour 2021”? Welcome to our home… I’ll start in the dining room with the navy and gold flocked tree: I know there are only 4 place settings there, but the pretty dessert plates I bought from Pier 1 only came in sets of 4, so I
How to make a wood star / wooden star
I have wanted a wood star (or is it wooden star?) ever since I first came across them on Pinterest. I tried making one years ago but, as is typical with me, the angles won the battle and I ended up with a shit show of pieces that would not fit together to make a star (and trust me I tried). An angle was wrong, or a length was wrong, or multiple angles and lengths we’re wrong… I have no
