10 Easy DIY Valentine’s Day Gifts

I can’t believe that St. Valentines Day is already here! The time is flying by faster than I can even imagine. This is one of my favorite times of the year. The snow is starting to melt away (usually) and spring is just around the corner. With the sun shining, and happiness all around this is the perfect time to tell a special person just how much you love them.

Whether you are giving someone something big or just something to show your love and appreciation, now is the time to open your hart and just do something the ones you love.

I have found 10 different DIY gifts that you could give to anyone and everyone on your list of love ones.

These are such a cute way to upcycling paint swatches and a cute card for Valentines Day.

This is a cute idea for a spouse, girlfriend or boyfriend. Take a Mason jar and fill it with colored wooden sticks with different date night ideas. I am totally going to do this for Brandon.

These heart shaped muffins are such a fun way to get kids involved in helping out with Valentines Day gifts. Also it is way easier than you would think.

This muffin is also a great home made gift with a touch of red for a fun Valentines Day gift.

I love this idea for all of the tea drinkers, putting tea in a bag for you SweeTea!

I know that Brandon would personally love this idea! What guy wouldn’t like a bear bouquet?

A spoon full of kisses is great for everyone!

This is the perfect valentines day bouquet of suckers.

Totally corny but so cute!

This is a great for your outdoorsy friends, you are quite the catch, Swedish fish in a mason jar.

So there you have it. Those are my fast and easy Valentine gift ideas. With Valentines day less than a week away, all of these gifts are achievable between now and then.

Do you have any cute Valentine ideas that you would like to share? I am always looking for new and fun things to do.

Thank you for reading and following along.

My New Year Resolution! (Turning I Wish to I Will)

Every year when the new year comes, people also seem to ask me what my New Year’s resolution is going to be. Last year I was going for a “New Year, New You”. I decided to turnaround the way I look and feel about myself. I chose Shaklee 180 to help me achieve a healthier way of life. (This picture was taken after 1 month with Shaklee 180 in 2013).

My Before and After Progress one Month on Shaklee 180

The main reason I wanted to become a new me in 2013 was because I wanted to be “Tiny, Tone and Tan” come my wedding. After all of my hard work and dedication, I truly felt like I was the best version on myself on my wedding day. It was everything I thought it would be and so much more!

To be honest, most years I don’t usually follow through with my resolutions. Although, last year, I felt like I finished as strong and I had started. My Shaklee 180 Turnaround truly changed the way I look at my life and taught me not only how to live a healthier lifestyle but that I deserve a better lifestyle!

This year I am going to stop saying “I wish” and start saying “I will”! I can’t tell you how many times I wished something would happen and never did anything about it.

Start Saying I Will

I am going to start making things happen in my life and I am going to start by changing my mindset. Last year, as soon as I realized that I could start eating better and living a healthier lifestyle, I started loosing weight, getting toner and gaining energy.

This year, I know now that I need to get in the mind right off the bat and stay in it all year long. I am going to stop wishing and start doing!

What are you doing for this year’s resolution?

My Favorite Moments of 2013!

First off I would like to wish everyone a happy new year!

I can’t believe that 2014 is already here. So much has happened in 2013 that I guess the entire year just flew by.

I would like to do a short recap of some of the rather large life occurrences that happened last year so just in case you missed any of them, you can check them out now!

I started working entirely from home:

I added a Hair Styles / Makeup tab with all of my latest looks with video tutorials:

I was a Shaklee 180 Healthy Competition Winner:

I got married to the man of my dreams:

Brandon and I bought a house and we love it:

Last but certainly not least… our house flooded:

As amazing as last year was. I know that this year is going to be even better. There is so much to look forward to and I am looking forward to sharing it all with you.

Is there anything in particular that you would like to see from me in 2014?

DIY Christmas Gift Tags

Christmas comes but once a year, which means it will come again next year.

Each and every year I get so many beautiful cards from all of my friends and family. I hate the thought of throwing them out after Christmas is over although I just can’t keep them all.

A few years ago I had the idea of reusing the cards by making them into gift tags. It worked out so nicely that I have been doing it ever since.

So naturally, I wanted to share my idea with you.

DIY Christmas Tags from old Christmas cards. Here are the some of the cards that I will use to turn into tags.
