My life is slowly turning around. I have been through some major ups and down in the last 2 and a half years and things are slowly leveling. I am a mom first and for most and after that I am a totally free spirit and loving every minute of it!

Out of the ordinary Beauty Tips that work | Cher Cabulas Mindbox - StumbleUpon

Use toothpaste on yellow nails. This usually happens when you let nail polish stay on your nails for very long and when you’ve used cheap nail polish. Whiten them all up by rubbing toothpaste to remove the stains. http://www.chercabulasmindbox.com/2009/05/out-of-ordinary-beauty-tips-that-work.html

Sea of Shoes: HAIR HOW-TO - StumbleUpon

I am sometimes asked how I style my hair, and while my method is far from perfect, I thought I'd show you how! My hair is pretty straight and fine naturally and I always let it air dry. Since I go about three days between washes, I like to curl it on the first day and let it mellow out into some nice waves over the next two. Let's get started! If your hair doesn't hold curl very well then you may want to put a palmful of curling mousse in it when it is halfway dry. First I comb out all of the tangles and apply a liberal amount CHI Iron Guard Protection Spray to prep my hair. http://seaofshoes.typepad.com/sea_of_shoes/2011/10/hair-how-to.html
http://www.kidcraftclub.net/content/view/607/32/ Get a box of Froot Loops and have your kids sort them by colors. Next,put the different colors into baggies and let them crush them until they are a powder form. (if you want to skip this step or make them finer, use a food processor). Then let the kids use them like colored sand in a baby food jar (soda bottlesm glass jars whatever!) and make layers.

Zip-up Earbuds & LauPre - StumbleUpon

I love to have my music with me everywhere I go, but I hate the tangled mess my wires become when I toss them in my bag or pocket. Last night I whipped up a fun and functional solution by adding a zipper to my earbuds. This project took me around an hour to do (perfect for catching up on some t.v. from hulu.com).

Turn Thumb Print Leaves Into Family Heirloom Good Ideas | Apartment Therapy Ohdeedoh

We're always on the lookout for new creative ideas to add to our little one's lives. We love the look of this thumb print guest book, although it was used for a wedding (and a fabulous one at that) we think the look is perfect for your next baby shower or as wall art in your nursery. A few more ideas are after the jump! We really love the idea of little individual leaves. We also think it could be a neat thing to keep from year to year for your child, letting invited attendees to birthday parties stamp their fingers to leave their mark on the day.

Make This: The 30 Minute $6 Dress Tutorial | papernstitch

Guest post by Rachael at Talk 2 the Trees . The perfect dress is hard to come by. I like my dresses to be cheap, and long enough. (I’m not a fan of super short dresses!) Cheap and long dresses don’t seem to go hand in hand.. so, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself! Here is a tutorial for a simple yet cute dress.
Hey guys! Hope you all had a great Wednesday I have a fun project to share today! I started with a 1×8 board from Lowe’s that I cut to about 2′ long. http://www.shanty-2-chic.com/2011/04/mason-jar-key-hook.html

stencil with freezer paper (harry potter tee)... - StumbleUpon

Yes, I am a nerd. I came up with a brilliant idea for a Harry Potter t-shirt and I couldn't resist. "Expecto Patronum!" However, you can make whatever kind of design you want with a freezer paper stencil. It doesn't have to be Harry Potter related. http://www.stayathomeartist.com/2011/07/stencil-with-freezer-paper-harry-potter.html
Let me start out with a warning or sorry of some sort. The warning is because I have never done a Tutorial before, so I hope this is helpful and easy to follow. The sorry is for how horrible my nails look. I promise I did them after looking through these pics. WOW!

A Tutorial: Fabulous Ric Rac Flowers & Matilda Jane Clothing Rocks - StumbleUpon

Last month I got an email from one of those "deal of the day" websites featuring a very cute set of wine glasses with chalkboard stems from a company called Chalkboard China . I've seen chalkboard glasses before, and always thought them to be a fun and chic way for guests to keep track of their glass throughout the night so you don't end up with mixed-up glasses or dozens of half-full glasses left around the house. But all the ones I've seen in stores feature a strip of chalkboard paint across the bowl of the glass, which I've always felt looks awkward and takes away from the beauty of the wine or beverage in the glass. What I like about this version is that the writing part is at the bottom on the stem and foot of the glass, so it doesn't compete with the beverage. I also like that the simple black foot on the glass is in itself an elegant design element, and would work just as well with no writing on it.

Tutorials for Recycling T-Shirts - StumbleUpon

So way way back, in June, I wrote this Studio Organization post, about starting the process of organizing my studio by cleaning out the closet full of junk. Well, it's September and...let's just say the closet is a work in progress. Some of the things that are taking up space in the closet are shirts that I never wear anymore. I realized I could repurpose them into something else! Here are some tutorials for recycling shirts:
