DIY Super Bowl Party

 

I don't know about you, but I'm excited for the Super Bowl! To be honest... my favorite part is the nachos, I'm not even joking. I love to decorate and host small parties, so I decided to share some DIY Super Bowl ideas! I was inspired by some pictures on Pinterest and I think it's so cool when they actually work out. I chose to recreate these adorable football cookies, this layered drink, and this beautiful pom pom garland that just screams team spirit!

Now, let's get to the Super Bowl festivities! Have a fabulous day!

Fourth of July 2014

Happy Independence Day for everyone who lives in the United States! I always love dressing up in red, white and blue and doing fireworks! Today I am wearing a sheer white floral top from TJ Maxx, a blue bubble necklace from Charming Charlie, a blue hair bow that I made, and a dark red skirt from Brandy Melville but you can't see it in the picture haha! You'll just have to imagine what it looks like because the minute I stepped out to take a full body picture, it started pouring rain outside. Anyways, I found this really cool layered drink idea on Pinterest and basically you fill a cup with ice then you pour in your different drinks. The one with the highest sugar content goes first (the red in my case) , and then you pour a drink with less sugar (the white) in the middle, and the last layer (the blue) will have the least amount of sugar. I used cranberry juice, coconut juice and Gatorade. And then I cut watermelon into stars to go on my favorite blue plate! :) I hope you guys liked my outfit and diy ideas and have a fabulous day!

Spring Floral Nails

Spring is officially here!! So to celebrate, I decided to paint my nails with some spring flowers! These spring floral nails are super easy to recreate. Just paint your base color (here , it's the blue), and then use a toothpick to paint 2-3 dots spread out on each nail for the middle of the flowers (here, it's the yellow). Next, use a toothpick and another color (here, it's the pink) to paint dots  around the first dots we painted to make the petals! Then all you have to do is put a topcoat to make sure your new designs will last awhile, and you're done!

Oh and there's my favorite candle! It is "Coconut Leaves" by Bath and Body Works! Anyways, hope you have a fabulous day!

Infinity Bracelet Tutorial

Hey guys! I'm going to start doing more tutorials, so this is the start of "Tutorial Tuesdays"! Here is a super easy one to start us off: infinity bracelets! These have been trending for awhile now and I just got to making some! It's super easy and inexpensive, I promise :) Let's get started!

Here are the materials you will need:

Step 1.) Use the cord and measure the size of your wrist. Add and extra six inches, then cut your cord. It is better for your bracelet to have too much cord than too little because you can always adjust at the end. Repeat one more time so that you have two pieces in total.

Step 2.) Take one of the pieces of cord and fold it in half. Put the folded side through one of the openings in the "S" hook. Pull the loose ends of the cord through the folded loop and pull.

Step 3.) Repeat step two with the other piece of cord on the other side of the "S" hook so that it looks like the picture below.

And that's it! Now you just have to tie it on your wrist! Easy right?

These bracelets are simple and can easily be stacked with other bracelets! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! Check out my first tutorial here which was also my very first blog post! It's how to make a cute bow :)

Cute Bow Tutorial and OOTD

I love making bows, so I thought it would be fun to make a tutorial! It is super easy and there is no sewing involved! All you need is some fabric, a pair of scissors, and a bobby pin. Here's what it looks like:

Ok let's get started!!!

Step 1. Cut out a big rectangle that is about 11" by 12", a small rectangle that is about 2.5" by 7", and a small strip about 0.5" by 6".

Step 2. Fold the big rectangle (11" by 12") until it is the width you want your bow to be.

Step 3. Fold in the sides of the same rectangle in so that they overlap each other in the middle so that it is the length you want your bow to be.

Step 4. Pinch and fold the rectangle so that it creates the bow shape.

Step 5. Use the small strip (0.5" by 6") and tie it tightly around the middle of the bow so that the folds stay. I made a triple knot. Cut off the extra fabric strips off.

Step 6. Take the small rectangle (2.5" by 7") and fold the cut edges inward so you can't see them on the other side.

Step 7. Tie the small folded rectangle tightly around the middle of the bow. Cut off the extra fabric strips.

Step 8. Insert the bobby pin in the back of the bow by the knot.

And now you're finished!!

Here's a matching outfit to go with your new bow! It's perfect for a girls night out, a school day, a weekend, or even a date! Pretty much anywhere :)

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and outfit! Have a fabulous day!!
