From Old to New! DIY Gold Necklace

There is something about jewelry that can help define who you are or where you are going. Think of the difference between the delicacy of a single strand of pearls compared to brighter and bulkier beads. If you were going to a black tie affair you most likely would be wearing the pearls than the beads. That strand of pearls is every elegant and beautiful, it is to be worn by a stunning lady going to a meaningful event.

The necklace I am wearing here really brings out a lot of my personality. Start with the simplicity of the chain and how it works its way down to a big knot, LOL. Inside that knot holds the key to my heart as well as my love towards my family. It also shows not only my commitment to life bound by a ring but my love for life found in a dangling earing.

This had to have been one of the most fun necklaces I have made in a long time. The first thing I did was find old gold pieces from my grandmother, Goodwill or pieces of jewelry laying around the house. The first thing you will need to do is tie the ring to the end of the chain. Then tie a knot near the end of the chain. Add any extra items.Last but not lease secure everything with a big statement brooch.I just love the way it all came together.

I am sure there are times where we all go through different phases within our life where we like to change up our jewelry. Don’t believe me? Just check out my necklace collection.
If there is one thing you love right to wear right now what would it be and why?

My Sun Glasses Holder!

My sister-in-law gave me this square board with all different kinds of ribbons on it. At first I didn’t know what to do with it and it took me a little while to decide. Then, it finally came to me… I will use it as a sun glasses holder! My sisters and I have quite a few sun glasses and I know they will fit on here perfectly with the ribbons holding them in place. I thought of a few ways to display them on here and I wanted to ask you what you thought looked the best.

Here is the first way. All of the sun glasses are neatly in two rows.

I can have them in three straight lines.

Last but not least way is having the sun glasses scattered randomly throughout the board.

What do you think of this idea?
Is it a yay or a nay? And if you do like it, which way is your favorite?

Also I am sorry I haven’t posted in a while, I have had so many things going on and I just didn’t seem to have the time to fit in writing all of my posts. Don’t worry, I was still taking pictures and keeping track of everything going on so you won’t be missing a thing. You will just be getting them at a later time!

Thanks for reading and for sticking with me even while I have been neglecting my blog!

How To: Organize Your Bobby Pins

I get a lot of questions about how I organize all of my beauty supplies. Over the past 5 years of doing hair and working at a number of salons I have seen things organized and displayed in every way imaginable. What I have done is taken all of those ideas and found the best and most efficient way to store and organize all of these products. Today I wanted to share with you one of the ways I like to store my bobby pins.

The first thing I did was saved all of my old Tic Tac containers.Then I remove the sticker. If it doesn’t come off, spray with Basic H2 degreaser and it will come right off.Last but not least, I separated my bobby pins by color and filled the containers.

One of my favorite thing about the Tic Tac container is that you can easily throw it into your purse without a big mess! It is simple and easy! Like I said before, there are so many different ways to store your bobby pins. This is just one way that has been working for me.
I am always looking for new ideas and I just have to ask, how do you store your bobby pins?

My New Earing Holder

The other day I was walking through Goodwill and I came across this amazing little CD holder. I picked it up and looked at it a little more, not that I have a ton of CDs any more, but because it caught my eye! I knew that I could use it for something and I couldn’t think of just what. I put it in my cart and continued to look around. By the time I got to the register I figured it out, I will use it as an earing holder! I was so excited that I wanted to share my amazing find with you.

What was once a simple CD holder,Is now a beautiful earing holder!It didn’t take long at all to transform this CD holder into a earing holder!I absolutely love it! Don’t you? It looks perfect on the shelf.
