My before and after application of 28 day mascara. Considering another coat tomorrow but otherwise very satisfied with the ease of use and result of this product.

My house is under construction. My water has been shut off all day. But I had everything on hand for some chill dream catcher crafting. Eventually I'm gonna put some of these up on my etsy!

what is in the works

I feel like i am always looking for something TOO specific. Comfort and fashion dont typically go hand in hand. I was looking for some cute headbands that werent so "cutesy". I was coming up empty handed if i wasnt willing to spend a fortune. So i took matters into my own hands. Behold the comfortable no slip studded headband!

I made one for my best friend Christina as a christmas gift, and being the sweetheart she is, she posted a photo of herself wearing it and gave me credit. I got lots of good feedback so i thought this would be a great introduction to my dream of starting an etsy shop! I have a few available right now! So go over and check em out!!

a little more about me. and this blog.

So i decided i would give the blog world a shot. My plan is to share my artistic and almost always thrifty approach to all the things i love most. I am a licensed cosmetologist for six years now and i have been artistically inclined since the moment i could pick up a color crayon. I have spent a lot of time in the past couple of years crafting my little heart out. Ive made smaller things like custom handmade hair pieces, a lot of them bridal, some more casual. Lots of dream catchers. Ive done numerous furniture overhauls. I also paint. The bigger the canvas the better. My goal in starting this blog is turn it into somewhat of a portfolio of my work, along with a lifestyle journal. I love giving hair advice and i am constantly researching more natural, cost efficient hair and beauty options. I would love for you to share with me as well! Lets learn from each other!
