Blogmas Day 22! Organization!

Hey everyone!

So today may not be Christmas related....unless you know someone who would appreciate some help organizing things!

I'm mostly talking about makeup and nail polish.

I was looking around on Pinterest today for some ideas on storing my makeup and nail polishes.

I don't currently have enough makeup to worry too much, yet. Haha But my cyber Monday splurge on 42 E.L.F. nail polishes caused me to start looking for a better way to store and organize them!

I came across a couple cute ideas and was trying to think of ways to combine the two!

The first idea was a shelving unit that could hold things other than nail polish. Now, I wanted something that I could close and hide them, so I don't have to see them all the time, so that bothered me a little.

The second idea was to make a tiered shelf to put them on, so I could have them behind each other, but I could still see them.

My final idea/solution was probably to create something myself. Ideally, I would love a shelving unit that has cute shutter doors on it and I can make little tiered shelves to put on those shelves!

I think it would be super cute and way efficient!

(The photos are not of my collection. Just examples. And I believe those shelves are from Ikea.)

What do you think? :]

Blogmas Day 21! Daily Look!

Hello everyone!

Okay, so today's post is going to be sort of a "gift guide for her".

I realize that most of the people who glance at my blog are probably women, not men..haha But I'm still gonna do it!

Maybe you need to buy something for your mom or sister or cousin...here are some ideas!

Okay! I'm going to be talking about Daily Look.

Yes, I've done clothing reviews of this website before. I like to take that day's current looks and write what I feel about them.

But today I am going to go a little more in depth about how the site works!

First!

When you visit the site you can create a FREE account. This way you can be notified, by email, what the daily looks are.

Second!

How it works. Daily look is a bunch of fashion designers who create a few different outfits every day. The items used in these outfits are then on sale, for I believe, 24 hours.

Third!

This is where the "gift guide" part comes in.

Daily Look has all kinds of trendy clothing pieces and accessories. And when they go on sale, they are really reasonably priced! So go check out the sales every day and I'm sure you'll be able to find something for every girl on your list!

Points!

Daily Look offers you multiple ways to earn points toward "in-store credit".

1. You get 10 points for every day that you visit their site.
2. You get 10 points for every social sharing like tweeting or sharing on facebook or Pinterest. You can get up to 50 points a day from social network sharing.
3. You get 1,000 points for every friend that you refer, when they make a purchase.
4. You get 1,000 points when you give a friend $10.
5. You get 1 point for every $1 that you spend on their site.
6. When you get to 2,000 you earn $20 credit! So basically you get $20 worth of items for free!

How cool is that? So not only can you get stuff on sale every day, but every dollar that you spend gives you points towards a free purchase!

You can also go through all the items on the site individually, instead of by outfit, and you can add things to "your closet". It's like a wish-list.

And if there is something that you really love, but it's currently out of stock, you can request that they send you an email when they get more in!

I've never purchased anything from them, but I really do love their site. I would love to be able to buy some boots and bags from them!!

Here's a link!!

I hope this helps people understand how the site works a little better and hopefully they'll give you some ideas for gifts! :]

Blogmas Day 19! Christmas Present Stress!

Hi everyone!

I don't really have anything fun for you guys today. Sorry!

I was rushing around to Michael's and Joann's today trying to find what I need for a couple presents I'm making.

Long story short...I ended up with a massive headache. Both from stressing out and from driving in the dark.

(I'm supposed to wear glasses for night driving because I have astigmatisms, which cause all the lights to star out and burn my eyes.)

Sorry again for the less than exciting blog post tonight!

I hit 13 subscribers on YouTube today! Yay! My favorite number! Really wish making videos was easier... I need a computer!

Anyways... Remember, even though it can get stressful, enjoy the magic of this time of year!

<3 ya!

But! Not all Christmas sweaters have to be ugly! This post is for all those CUTE Christmas sweaters out there who need some love! Yay!

DAILY LOOK

Heart of Gold

I actually like today's first look!
For some reason I haven't been liking their outfits recently.

1. The rushed sleeve blazer is adorable! Both of the colors it comes in are cute! $39.95
2. I haven't got into the leggings trend yet, but plain black is always good. $19.95
3. I like having long shirts, so this asymmetrical shooting stars top doesn't do it for me. $26.95
4. I LOVE the locked down tote! So cute! And very trendy! Love my big purses! $49.95
5. The sailor strip infinity scarf is another love! I <3 scarves and anything nautical! $9.95
6. I like bold jewelry, but the money tree necklace isn't something I would wear. $14.95
7. Ooh! I love a fancy watch! This elegant wrap watch is definitely a keeper! $24.95
8. Lastly, I adore boots! These distressed buckle booties are adorable! Love! $44.95


Lady Bug

Today's second look is cute and festive, but I'm not into wearing fake leather...especially as a skirt.

1. Again, blazers are popular right now and the bright red is very holiday appropriate. $26.95
2. I don't like real or fake leather skirts... Sorry! Not cute to me. $19.95
3. Basic tees are definitely a must in any wardrobe. So easy to make into an outfit! $7.95
4. Is it just me, or a purses the best part of any outfit?! Looove this one! Yes please! $39.95
5. I'm not too sure what a gummy jewel necklace is... Sounds gross! Haha $14.95
6. Tights....never liked them a whole lot. Especially plain ones. Not sure... $9.95
7. This bowtie bracelet is adorable. I love stacking bracelets! $7.95
8. I won't lie...I have platform heels...but from weddings. Haha No thanks.. $34.95



Magic Eight

Look number three is probably an outfit that I would actually wear! Finally! Hahaha

1. Another blazer! White is classic and chic with the black pocket accents. $49.95
2. Skinny jeans are comfy and in black, the make your outfit more formal! $19.95
3. This ruffle and pleat top is cuuute and wearable! Yay! I want one... $19.95
4. The purse is pretty cute, but way too small for me! $29.95
5. It's leopard bow belt is super cute, but I'm not a belted shirt girl. $9.95
6. Ooh! Leather and metal bracelet! Yes! So cool! $9.95
7. Not a fan of the necklace...yet again... So sad. $26.95
8. I think I could handle these cutout wedges. Darn cute and not too high! $34.95


Hope you like it! <3

A Not-So-Great Week and Updates

Hey everybody.

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while... I've been going through some personal stuff and trying to make some purchasing decisions for my business.

Because of some recent disastrous events.....I am even more greatly considering starting a YouTube vlog to help me vent and relive some stress. Some of my original ideas for my vlogs have changed, but I need an outlet more than ever.

Anyways... I started making a new purse and have some exciting ideas for my next creations.

Bye guys!!

Sorry Everyone!!

So, I was quite busy yesterday and didn't get a chance to post my second Daily Look review.

I was trying to figure out how exactly I wanted to do it, after it took me hours to do the first post. I decided that I would pick my favorite out of the three looks they post every day.

Sadly, my computer quit working again today, so this is the only post I will be making for the day. I'm very sad... I'm not sure if I'll be able to make nice posts like the one I did on Monday. We will see. If not, I'll do the best I can with my iPad.

Hope the rest of you had a better day than I did!! Bye!
