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?

Heart Shaped Muffin, Fun For Everyone!

It is amazing to me how you can do the same thing over and over again and never even think to try something new. Tweaking one small thing can change the entire look of your creation. Here I made a basic box of muffins and by adding a marble in between the muffin tin and the cake cup I changed the shape of the muffin from round to heart shaped.

This is an easy, yet fun way to change up your basic muffins. Just remember to only fill the cake cup up about half of the way because if you don’t it will all poor over the sides. Trust me, it is not fun LOL.
