You'll need:

•  A Pair of inexpensive sneakers (I used these)
• Permanent White Fabric Pen

{Yes, that's all folks}

It's okay, you can get excited!!!

{My Spring} things that are fly, and you should buy!!!

DIY Star Drop Earrings

I've been gawking over these fantastic earrings, so I decided to make my own. You should too!! These earrings are super simple to make and they're amazingly awesome! Let me just add, I love STARS.

Yes, I've worn these all weekend and 6 compliments later....I've fallen in LOVE!

You'll need: (for 1 earring)

• Ball Hook Wire (14k plated)
• Charm-(I used these)

DIY Elastic Headwrap

I will admit it, I totally made this by accident and I LOVE IT!!!!  I always use Goody Ouchless Elastics and I made the mistake of buying Goody Girls Ouchless Elastics, emphasis on “Girls!” I have longer hair and the “Girls” are far too tiny to hold all my hair.  So I decided to link them together and make an DIY Elastic Headwrap.

I do know one thing, these work perfectly for the gym!!!

(My beautiful hairstylist, Cassie-->Follow her on Instagram..birdy3183, all the cool kids do)

You'll need:

• 11 Goody Girls Ouchless Elastics
• A pair of scissors

*Supplies will vary depending on size.

Put all elastics in order. Cut the "lonely" elastic in half. (I cut on the connected area)

These bracelets are super fun, creative, and just plain AWESOME! I've made several in all sorts of different colors, giving them to my closest friends kind of as a thank you for "being you." I don't know about you but I'm filled with the most wonderful feeling seeing people I care about light up about something I made for them. 

So one day I'm driving in my car, sunroof open, the sun is shining, and I get a vision.

Simply Green and Delicious

Pin It

Hope every had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day. My husband and I got to celebrate with our wonderful sister and her fiancé. We started the night with a delish drink mix she gathered from her co-worker.

"Simply Green and Delish"

• 2 cups Vodka
• 2 liter of Mountain Dew Soda
• 2 pkgs. Kool-Aid Lemon Lime Drink Mix

CHUG THE MOUNTAIN DEW until it reaches the top of the label. (I'm only kidding, pour out or consume enough Mountain Dew Soda until it reaches the top of the label) Add the 2 Lemon-Lime Kool-Aid packets and fill the rest of the 2 liter up with vodka. Gently shake and chill. Serve chilled with a lime.

For the main course she cooked pecan-crusted chicken, potatoes, and grilled asparagus. All wonderfully mouth-watering and cooked to perfection.

We "ALL" saved room for dessert. A classic yellow cake with vanilla frosting and don't forget the "Green Sugar Sprinkles."

The best part about our night is we were "LUCKY" enough to enjoy wonderful company and good food.
