Pinteresting.

Pinterest has been my newest obsession-I still don't quite understand it but it's perfect for just browsing and getting DIY ideas and tips.
My latest project is spray painting old wine bottles and recycling them into new shiny vases for around the apartment.

I used a chrome finish to give the wine bottles a shiny, mirror effect.

 Make sure to lay down newspaper around the surface area since spray paint can tend to have a mind of its own. 

Process make take a few coats (this was only after one)

Final product! May have to do another coat later today but unfortunately it decided to downpour about ten minutes after I finished the first coat so I had to quickly bring the bottles inside. 

Just an easy and inexpensive way to reuse your old wine bottles! I know you all have them...or maybe that's just me.Whatevs.

Polyvore, oh how I adore.

I recently discovered a website called Polyvore that lets you create a graphic collage of sorts dealing with interior design, art, and fashion. It's kinda like the new paper dolls or barbies-minus the paper cuts and add the better clothing.

Since I'm too broke to shop and too sick to even get off the couch, these two sets I created are a good alternative.

"In cadence!"

It has been two days since I completed the 60 minutes Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Boot Camp dvd-holy. moly. Muscles hurt that I never knew existed, definitely should have started out a little slower but at least now I know the dvd works!


Pros: Worked a lot of my trouble areas such as the inner and outer thigh as well as my batoots!
The idea of having a DCC bod.


Cons: The instructor: If I have to hear "in cadence?" "in cadence!" one more time I may scream.
Down time: While I definitely needed the breaks, the video was a little slow and drawn out.

Summary of my day:

• Showered using my new Lush Ro's Argan Body Conditioner - this stuff is beyond amazing. Thanks to the recommendation of my sister Caroline, I now have the softest, most amazing smelling skin. I don't typically go for Rose scented items but this shower lotion is heavenly and lasts throughout the day. 

Body Conditioner found here! 

• Made my typical Glowing Green Smoothie for breakfast.
• Tried out one of Kimberly Snyder's recipes for Cauliflower "Mashed Potatoes"

 I didn't end up using the oregano but I did use waaay too much garlic - A taste I found impossible to get out of my mouth despite brushing, Listerine, gum, and even coffee.

• Went to Michael's and purchase a few items for an upcoming DIY project using old wine bottles as well as this necklace display.  

I usually keep my jewelry scattered throughout several random bowls and boxes and often forget just what I own. For the past few weeks I've been displaying my most worn necklaces with the help of my bathroom shelves. 

This new display is a much less crusty way of showing off my favorite necklaces.

Next jewelry project: Organizing my watches and bracelets!
