Ladies, are we not all tired of scrubbing, picking, and screaming at our nail polish to come off?

If you are anything like me, you love painting your nails but hate when it starts to chip and the time comes to REMOVE the what now likes to pretend is superglue on your nails. ( impossible to remove!)

Luckily God gave us Pinterest ;-) So I went on my search to find an easier way!

As luck would have it, I found the absolute easiest nail polish removing technique that will also save you  money. Come on now, how awesome is that?!

What you will need:

• Cotton balls ( here is where you save money) 

I usually only need one, sometimes two cotton balls to remove ALL nail polish!! So buy the big bag and it lasts FOREVER!

•  Nail polish remover ( I usually just buy the store brand cheapo brand and it works great!) 

1. Take the cotton ball and unravel it. tear it into ten little finger sized pieces

• Dip the torn cotton ball pieces into the remover ( not too much, just enough to where it's not dripping everywhere ) and place the wet cotton onto the nail. ( make sure its covering all the nail polish.
• wait for a minute or two
• Grab a new piece of Cotton ball and wipe off the wet Cotton from your nail while pressing down with some force ...Or as my Husband would say "use your man hands". Do this from your nail bed to your nail tip. This way , your nails will not be damaged.
• If you do it correctly, almost everything ( if not everything) should come right off your nails.
• If there is anything left you can dip more cotton into the remover and wipe the rest off easily.

Picture below on how it worked for me!!! I love this and plan on using this technique every single time!

I'm back!

Well as you can tell I have not posted a new blog in quite some time.

I got very busy and caught up in life as one does.

I have however decided to start taking time for myself and doing some of the things I love when I need some down time. 

So here I am with a TON of new blog post ideas so please stay tuned! ( especially for you pinterest lovers)

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!
