No Sew Bag

I have a TON of old tanks and camis. I saw this pin about turning them into bags or purses!!

Now this certain pin called for a sewing machine. I really wish I could afford one but I do not own one just yet.
I was dying to try this out though, so I took my least favorite cami and my glue gun!

I found out it looks ok, but would be awesome if I had a sewing machine .
Here are the results

Blue Chair Shmu Chair

I got most of my furniture for free a few years ago from some very sweet and generous people since I could not really afford to buy any at the time. 

With no money to pick out something more my own taste came the saying " beggars can't be choosers"

I was never a fan of the blue.  As the years went on and several spills later the Blue chair really started looking sad.

Well thanks to pinterest, my hot glue gun, and my staple gun my chair is not so sad anymore!

Fake It To Make It

I'm obsessed with my home smelling good!
I love scented candles, candle warmers, plug-ins, Incense sticks, and Febreze.
These can all really add up and lets face it, the best scented candles and plug-ins are extremely overpriced!
Febreze just goes so fast that I find myself having to buy it quite often!


So in the let's save money spirit and my addiction to Pinterest I found a way to make your own Febreze with just a few things found right in your home!

• 1/8 cup of Fabric softener ( your favorite smelling one)
• 2 Tbs Basking Soda
• Hot Water from your tap

 Just add them all into an empty spray bottle ( I used my old Febreze bottle) 

Fill it with the hot water to the top, shake and begin using!!!

Super easy and it is going to save me a ton since I used to buy Febreze all the time!

Getting my Manicure on DYI style

I am definitely a girly girl when it comes to my nails. If I had the money I would be at the salon every week or at least every other!

I have to face facts and realize that's not only super selfish but impossible on our budget. 

I was at the not so friendly, grungy, ghetto neighborhood Walmart and came across what seemed to be those mostly tacky stick on nails.

I looked a little closer and saw that what I was looking at was in fact nail polish strips. 

Ladies, I have fallen in love with this product, even though it has recently gone up in price it is still so much cheaper than getting my nails painted at the salon and it even lasts a lot longer!!!

It is so easy to apply and comes in tons of different colors and designs!!

I won't be going and spending my money at the salon any time soon again.. But if someone gets me a giftcard I still won't turn that down ;-)

I am pretty sure they sell them at Target, Walgreen's, CVS, Walmart and you can order them online 

( I am doing that since people are catching on and most of the good ones have been picked over already!)

Fake Egg McMuffin

I have to admit.. I am a Mcdonald's fan, especially their breakfast.
However, there are mornings that I do not feel like driving to the neighborhood McDonald's, wait in the long drive thru line, and meet my first rude person of the day at the window.

So, I pinterested my craving and came across a super easy way to do it myself!

First you need.. eggs of course, ham or bacon ( whichever you prefer.. I'm a ham lady myself), English Muffins, salt, parsley, and or pepper for seasoning and your trusty dusty cupcake pan!

Put the Bacon/Ham in the pan top it with the Eggs
Set your oven to 375 and cook for about 15 minutes, check after 10min.
I do not like mine runny at all so i had to put them back in a second time for a few minutes..
They were delicious though!

I Mustache You A Question, But I'm Shaving It For Later

OK , so one might say I am a tad bit obsessed with this crazy new mustache fad. One might be right. Ha. 

I seriously plan on getting a fingerstache tattoo. 

All of these ideas, I will be trying out!

The most amazing smells your nose will ever smell!

Now I know if I say Jennifer Lopez most of you will scoff and never consider this.

I normally cannot stand celebrity perfumes. They smell like a gas station or old lady.

HOWEVER, Jennifer Lopez's "Still" ... is incredible and you can get it at walmart for 30 dollars!

Victoria's Secret has so many wonderful perfumes and body sprays to choose from.

Body sprays however don't last as long. If I do buy a body spray I usually only spray it on my hair..

Out of every perfume I have ever smelled " Tease" is by far my favorite!

I love the bottle too!

It has LACE!!

Why I hate religion but Love Jesus

This Video has been going around on Facebook for the last few days. 

If you have not seen it yet you really should!

He expresses how I have felt about religion for quite some time now, and how I feel and am learning to feel about my savior. 

I find everywhere I look we are all far too concerned with the "do's and don'ts " of our religion...the rules and regulations. We get so wrapped up in our own twisted views of what is right and what we find to be important in this life that we were given, that we forget why Jesus came in the first place... 

It made me sit back and think about my own walk with my Savior, how blind I may be in my own thinking. How all my actions should be screaming the Love I as a " Christian" should be showing to everyone I come into contact with.

I wish I could be as good a writer and were able to express my thoughts as well as this guy has in this video.

If you have a minute, please do watch this.

It's powerful

This Video is incredible

LACE LACE LACE

I pretty much love all things lace.

It can be sexy, classy, and beautiful.

I was spending the evening with my mother recently who had just had dental surgery and needed someone to hangout with and also to kind of keep an eye out for her while my Dad was at work and I introduced her to Pinterest.

We started looking into the Home Decor category. I started thinking about my busted up and used furniture.

I have a dresser and a mirror that had some awful scratches and chips and it was just looking terrible. I was embarrassed to have it in my home.

I am definitely one of those girls who likes to have nice things.

So I gathered some ideas and put my own spin on them.

I love Black and White, ( my wedding was formal B&W with a touch of red ) and as I said before.. LACE LACE LACE
