SaturDIY: DIY Desk Makeup Storage!


Hey everybody! Today I will be showing you how to make your own SUPER EASY DIY desk drawer makeup storage! All you will need is:
  • shoe box lids(around the same shape and depth)
  • wrapping paper in any color
  • tape
  • scissors
  • small boxes or box lids( I used old jewelry boxes)


First, we need to wrap the lids in the wrapping paper. When you are done, it will look like this:
 
 
Start by cutting out a piece of paper big enough to cover the exterior of the box lid, including the sides.


Center the box lid on the wrapping paper, and cut four small slits long enough to be able to be folded over the sides of the box. For me, I cut about 1 inch slits.
 
Then, place the wrapping paper over the box lid.
 
 
Cut another slit perpendicular to the previous slits, so you should cut off 4 1-inch sized squares on all four corners.



 
Then, gently push the wrapping paper into the box lid, pressing the wrapping paper into the inner corners and creasing it.

 
Tape all of the excess wrapping paper around the sides of the box and that's it!
 
You can do this with as many box lids as you need. Then, place them in your drawer and arrange the smaller boxes inside of them. (You can wrap the small boxes, too, I just decided not to.)


When you have them arranged how you like them, fill them with your makeup and voila! Super easy and great if you need some extra makeup storage like me (;

 
 
Hope you guys enjoyed this SaturDIY and I'll see you next Saturday for some more DIY fun!

Workout Wednesday: "Lazy Girl Workout" Ideas!

    
     Hey everybody! Time for Workout Wednesday! I know you are probably wondering how this workout works, but it's not actually a workout at all! The lazy girl workout (well, my version at least) is a list of tips and mini excercises that you can do almost anywhere! I call it a "drops in the bucket" workout, because doing a little at a time will really add up to a healthier you by the end of the summer! This is a great way to keep in shape if you are busy this summer! So, here are my tips on how to get in shape the lazy way!

  • 10 situps every time you get out of bed.
  • Calf raises for two minutes every time you brush your teeth.
  • Push against your doorframe for 10 seconds everytime you enter your bedroom.
  • Hold a plank for 30 seconds every commercial break.
  • Do 20 crunches before you watch a Youtube video.
  • 10 squats before you check your facebook.
  • 10 lunges every time you check your twitter.
  • 50 jumping jacks every time you have an unhealthy snack.
  • 20 mountain climbers when you check your Instagram.
  • 60 ski jumps before you turn on Netflix.
  • 30 crunches and 30 squats before you go to the pool.
  • 20 scissor legs everytime you go to bed.
  • Plie squats while you brush your hair.
  • Elbow plank every time you eat a candy bar.
  • 50 criss cross jumps before you start a movie.
  • 10 jumping jacks every time you send a Snapchat.
  • 30 bicep curls every time you grab a soda.
  • 20 quick jump rope jumps before you open the fridge.
So, obviously, it's impossible to remember all of these! Just pick a few that you will do the most and leave yourself a Post-It note somewhere so you remember! By the end of the summer, you wont think twice about doing calf raises at the sink or squats before you get on facebook. The goal of this workout is not to replace your workout, but to ADD to it and keep you thinking healthy all summer long. Come back next wednesday for some more workout fun!

Hey everyone! It's the moment you've all been waiting for... time to announce the Summer Schedule!!! I will be posting every day, and each day of the week has a different theme. Here are my daily themes:

Mani Monday- I will be showing you tons of cute nail tutorials, plus some of my favorite polishes, nail polish hauls, and polish reviews!

Trendy Tuesday- This is when I will be talking to you about my favorite summer fashion trends! I will try to keep most of the items in these posts pretty affordable and leave the links below on where you can find them.

Workout Wednesday- This category is pretty self explanatory :) But I will be posting different workout routines, outfits, equipment, and even workout food!

Try it Thursday- This is when I will be showing you new makeup and beauty products, reviews, and lots of different ideas and makeup tutorials!

Friday Fun- This is a pretty random category, but will include any tag posts, fun summertime ideas, recipes, things I tried, or anything that I couldn't post under another category!

SaturDIY- Any kind of crafty DIY project, with a summer theme! These may not all be ones that I make up, but I will make sure to keep them easy and affordable!

Snapshot Sunday- This is probably my favorite category (: I will be posting a ton of pictures from my week: what I did, where I went, what I ate, what I wore, you name it! This will include all OOTD and any kind of clothing hauls. I will also answer any of your questions for me, personal or about the blog!

     I am super excited to be doing this schedule this summer, I have already started working on the posts! Please be patient with me, though, this is the first time I will be on a daily schedule and I might miss a few days. I am going to try to be as consistent as I can!
    
     As far as dates go, I will be starting the summer schedule the sunday after I get back from vacation (maybe June 2?) and I will be continuing throughout all of June and July, maybe a little ways into August. Please comment and tell me if you have any suggestions for me to post about. Even if it does not really fit any of the categories, I will try to get to it! That's all for now! Bye guys!

Playfully Spring
     Hey everyone! Today I wanted to show you an outfit idea for spring. This is a great outfit if you are going out with friends, on a date, or need an outfit that will make an impression. Here's how you can re-create this look with what's in your closet!
 
First thing you will need is a simple white crop top. Sheer cutouts make a flattering shape without being too bold or taking away from the rest of the outfit.

The next thing I added was a pastel purple pleated skirt. Make sure your skirt is high waisted and goes at least to a mid-thigh length.

Then, you will need a well-fitted blazer. I kept mine simple with a light tan color and long sleeves with simple pocket flap detailing.

Now on to accesories. A statement necklace is the perfect piece to tie the outfit together. A matching pale pink ring and crossbody bag really give the outfit a soft, feminine detail. For the shoes, I would go for something with a light floral print, like these Sperry Topsiders. Cute and comfy, these are great if you will be walking around a lot and don't want sore feet.

Hope you guys liked this outfit idea! Be sure and tell me in the comments if there is another type of spring outfit you would like me to create. Thanks!
