HOW TO: Revamp Your Dresser!

 What's NEW my friends?!

I always love changing up my room now and then because sometimes you just want something new you know? But the one thing that somehow managed to remain the same was my dresser...

Don't get me wrong, I love the color purple, but my dresser had been purple ever since that fateful day my mom decided to spray paint it years ago when I was in elementary school. Now, I'm 21, so it's time for a change! ;) And when you need ideas, Pinterest is always a lovely treasure trove. I saw a pin on mod podging scrapbook paper on your drawers, and I had to give it a shot! Here's how my attempt turned out:

And I'm totally in L-♥-V-E! Each drawer is different, and I even decided to keep up the not-one-theme theme for my mirror too! My room really brightened up since all of the designs are funky and colorful ☺ This project was totally worth all of the $15 I spent! 

What You'll Need!

-Scrapbook paper (got mine on sale for $9.99 at JoAnn, can find at Hobby Lobby and Michaels also--make sure to use coupons because they almost always have 40% off ones)

-Mod podge (love this stuff! purchased a big one for around $5 at JoAnn--use the 40% off coupon)

-Scissors

HAPPY REVAMPING!

DIY: EASY Graphic T-shirt + HOW TO MAKE IT LAST

Hello June bugs!

So I've had a couple of plain jane t-shirts hanging in my closet for some time now. You know, the ones that are in the craft section of Walmart? I whipped those babies out of my closet and decided that the time had come for them to get a makeover! 

I went to my local JoAnn and picked up one pack of transfer t-shirt paper (used my 50% coupon ;) of course) and some Scotchgard and got to work. JoAnn and Hobby Lobby always have 40% off deals going around, so make sure to check before you buy anything full-price! 

This is what I came up with...

I had a blast making each shirt, since I could customize it to look however I wanted it to. Each shirt design I made myself:
-Cavegirl Hair: I drew it on my tablet.
-Smitten: I found an image of a kitten on Google (made sure to use the "labeled for reuse with modification" search tool option to steer clear of any copyright issues) and added my own twist to is with picmonkey.com.
-Swoon: I used Microsoft Powerpoint.

I added 3 new shirts to my wardrobe without having to spend more than $10; the t-shirts I already had, the transfer paper cost around $4 (got if half-price), and the Scotchgard was only around $4 or $5.

The Scotchgard is optional but I highly recommend using it on your design because since it's a fabric protector, it'll protect your design when you have to wash it. Everything needed is listed down below! Hope you guys give this DIY a try :)

 What You'll Need!

-T-shirt transfer paper (from JoAnn)

-T-shirt 

-Scissors

-Duct tape

-Iron

-Scotchgard (from JoAnn)
-Computer
-Printer

No Heat Beachy Wavy Hair

Alohaa my lovelies ☼ In my very first post, I show you how to get this super easy No Heat Beachy Wavy Hair.

This hairstyle gives your precious locks the break it needs from those curling irons and straighteners. There is an accompanying video so please check that out!

The steps are outlined below:

Step 1: Shower—The power a shower can give your hair is wonderfulll. This hairstyle requires fresh clean locks to start off with in order to give your waves the bounce they need. Trust me, you don’t want oil and dirt weighing them down!

Step 2: Wait until your hair is about 80% dry before you brush it—Brushing your hair when it’s completely wet is so horrible for your hair since it’s vulnerable to breakage and damage. I recommend it to be at least 75-80% dry so then your hair is not as vulnerable. 

Step 3: Brush, brush, brush—Brush your hair until you’re tangle-free! This also reduces the amount of frizz in this hairstyle. 

Step 4: Part your hair and separate it into two sections—You want both sections to be of equal amounts.

Step 5: Braid each section and secure them with a hair tie/elastic—The tighter the braid, the tighter the wave, and vice versa for looser waves.

Step 6: Sleep…zZzzzZzz—This is the easiest step! 

 

Step 7: Wake up and take out each braid—You should already see the wavy hair effect at this point.

Step 8: Mess around with your hair until it’s the way you want it to look—Run your fingers through your hair, flip your hair upside down, shake it, then flip back up and voila! You’ve now achieved the No Heat Beachy Wavy Hair look! You can use whatever styling products you want in order to maintain this hairstyle, but I usually don’t do anything. At most, I use a sea salt spray if I feel one of my waves needs a boost.

Hope these steps were helpful!
