Keeping Your Shoes Smelling Fresh!

Are you looking to have clean and fresh smelling shoes? Have you ever bought a new pair of shoes and think to yourself how long you are going to need to use them?

Well… I bought these shoes knowing that I was going to be working out in them 4 to 5 days a week, at lease until my wedding (more details coming). Therefore I need them to last at least 7 months. A little while ago, someone told me about this little trick to help you keep your shoes smelling clean and fresh. Your shoes need to be able to breath, especially when you wear them all the time!

By putting a Get Clean Dryer Sheet into your shoe after you are done wearing it, you will be amazed how long your shoes will smell like new! It has such a fresh and clean sent. Knowing that I spend a lot of time in these shoes and that they are getting a lot of use out of them, I need to keep them smelling nice. 🙂

There are so many things I love about these dryer sheets. It isn’t just the fresh smell but it is because it isn’t a strong sent. They are all natural, biodegradable and “Safe for you, your home and your Planet”.

Get Clean Dryer Sheets will help keep the Smell away in your shoes

Another great tip would be to always wear socks with your shoes. It makes a huge difference.

I have never had a problem with my shoes smelling but I know that this is a great way to keep that from happening. Especially in the winter when your feet are stuck in shoes all the time!

Have you every had this happen to you? What have you done that has helped?

Loose Beach Waves

When it comes to curling hair, there are so many different types of curly hair style you can do. It all depends on what type of curls you are looking for and what hair type you have. You also have to think about the length of your hair and decide if it will work with the curl you want to achieve. Not to mention what size curling iron you will need to achieve which curl.

I have a number of posts coming that will show you just how to answer all of those questions.

Although for today I am going to be showing you another type of curl that I absolutely love! This style is great for medium to long hair. It gives a very soft, more natural look. I love this look for everyday but I guarantee when you put on a little black dress you will blow people away.

Here is a short video showing you just how to create these beautiful waves!

I also love the simplicity of these curls.

Do you like to wear your hair curly? Would you like more post about curling hair for all different hair types and finding styles that are more achievable for you?

I hope this help and I can’t wait to hear how you it turned out for you. So please share!

Wrapping Your Christmas Gifts!

I love the idea of the entire Christmas season, there is so much joy in the air. I love the smell of all of the freshly baked cookies, the sound of the Christmas music in the background and the beautifully wrapped gifts under the tree. Gifts are a great way to show someone just how much you care about them. What I love about wrapping a gift is the excitement on the persons face who you give it to. When a gift is wrapped nicely it almost makes the gift a little bit more than what is inside. I can’t tell you how many times people have complimented me about the wrapping on my gifts I give. Not only that, now people have been asking me to wrap their gifts for them.

Here is a video showing you just how I wrap a a Basic Box.

I love adding thing to the top of my gifts. It not only adds a pop of color but to make the gift look finish and complete.

This year I used different kinds of peppermints, bows, flowers and ornaments.

My siblings love helping when it comes time to wrap.

Organizing Your Scarfs on Clothes Hangers!

With the seasons changing and the whether getting colder it is time to bust out the scarfs. Over the past few winters I have built up quite the little collection of scarfs. I use to keep them in a bin in my room until I got sick of them always being wrinkled. I don’t even remember where I got this idea from but I am so glad that I found it. Now that I have started hanging my scarfs up on hangers I will not be going back to putting them in a drawer or a bin ever again.

Here is a short video showing you just how I organize my scarfs.

I love keeping my scarfs color coordinated and where I can see them. I not only feel like they stay more organized but I also wear them more than I use to because I can actually see what I have.

I love the idea of wearing scarfs. Please don’t forgot to subscribe to my blog to get my up come posts on how to tie your scarfs and how to pair them with your outfits.
