Yass! It's time for those summer travels, you know the girls weekend trip, possible overnight rendezvous, or even just a simple drive out of town with a just in case bag.

Hair today and Hair tomorrow. Yes I know that was corny, but that is how I feel about hair. I like the opportunities to learn and try new things with hair, and I don't want to learn new things on the hair growing from my head, so extensions give me those opportunities.

Another day, Another protective style.  At this point, not only do I like the idea of being able to change my hair constantly, I am also trying to strengthen and thicken my natural hair, so creating units work well at making sure I am not manipulating my hair so much.

Here in Texas, we don't have that many seasons, but it will officially be winter on December 21st, hence, it is still fall season. I absolutely love the fall, not only do you get to layer on the fashions, but you can layer on the hair. Time to pull out those protective units, which are really yearly hairstyles, but for the most comfortability, I tend to do protective units within the cooler months.

Holiday Travels

Its almost that time for holiday travels.

Feathers and Tassels

Looking for a way you can bring the pastel colors into the fall?

Fashionista Casual

Its Fashionable Fridays and we are looking at styling jeans and a polo tee. So lets set a scene, you are getting off work possibly or it was a casual Saturday and you are about to go hang with the girls, possibly a happy hour or on a Saturday, dinner with friends.

I am just waiting for the tailored long blazers/jackets to start coming out. Yaasss! Whether you are a heels or flats type of fashionista, I love bringing the silver aspect into the dynamics of these colors.

As you can see from the look, I am trying to transition towards one of my favorite seasons of the year, AUTUMN/FALL.

Is it winter or even fall yet? Do you have plans for going out with your girlfriends to a bar with a lie band or a concert-type event? We are ready to bring back the black denim.

DIY Magazine Rack

This was one of my first projects that I ever did. I had card board boxes from numerous deliveries and these magazines came from some subscriptions from Just Fab (we will definitely talk about the awesome deals on JustFab.com) and I needed a place to store them. Organization is the name of the game. So after browsing Pinterest, I saw this neat idea for file storage and decided- it would be able to be created at a larger size so that I can store magazines. Lets look at how I created this magazine storage with a paper compartment. 

DIY White and Gold Night Stand

As I continue on my road of projects, one that I experimented with was a second hand night stand. I found it at the local thrift store and needed to store some of the extra items that I use for crafting. The color goes well with the color scheme in the dining area, even though I originally bought it for my bedroom. The great thing about white and gold, is that it will pair fine if I do move it into my bedroom. Well let's get into this project. 

Quick Easy Manicure

Don't you just love when your nails are nicely manicured? Wouldn't you just love to be able to do a quick manicure until you can get to the nail shop but you don't think you have all the material required? Yes, you more than likely do, or you can get what is needed within a small budget. All you need is a nail file, nail polish (clear top coat and whatever color you would like), nail polish remover, nail decals or stickers, Q- tips (or a small brush), and 20 mins.  These items will allow you to make a nice manicure that will last you for at least a week for next to nothing.

DIY Chalkboard

Here is a project that was created from a failed attempt at my DIY Dry Erase Paint Chip Calendar. I bought a frame and thought for sure a 16x20 would be big enough to create a paint chip calendar. I was wrong, but I bought the frame for super cheap from Wal-Mart and I knew that I would eventually use it; therefore, why take it back. Well, I did want a chalkboard and found this great post on Pinterest for making your own chalkboard paint from The Idea Room!

DIY Dry Erase Calendar

Two things about me: I love arts and crafts and I love organization. While browsing Pinterest, I came across an outstanding project that I wanted to recreate. 

DIY Desk For Small Space

So I completed some projects and am very excited to share the results. This desk is my first time doing true DIY, so its very amateur, but they were done by me and that is my feeling of success. I need organization in my life, and I have to find ways to do this organization, and first I started with organizing a desk area for motivation. After looking at several pictures on the web, I thought about what items do I have that I can use to create this space. So, I have only completed the desk, as I am working on the accessories and other items for another DIY project.
