DIY: Change Up Your Sweatshirt

Recently I have been loving sweatshirts that don't have hoods! I don't know why, but I think they are super cute! So as I was looking through my closet I thought of an idea... 'What if I just cut the hood off of one of my old sweatshirts???' So I did! I really like the finished look and it really changes the whole look of the sweatshirt.

Review: Super Stay 10 Stain Gloss

This review is on the Maybelline New York Super Stay 10 Stain Gloss and I got it in the shade 100 Pink Plush. First off, I love the color! It is a gorgeous pink color, almost a magenta and since it has a little gloss it really pops on your lips. In general I like lip stains better than lipsticks because stains feel lighter and fresher on your lips and they tend to last longer. This product definitely does all those things! The product does last a while, but after a couple hours the glossiness wears off. If you wait the full 10 hours you will have a tad bit of color left, but for me, during the day I will eat and drink things, so the color does fade after a couple hours. I personally don't mind that, so I think this is a great product! The wand is also very nice because I feel like I have complete control, while applying the stain. It is a very smooth formula that seriously glides over your lips and it doesn't leave your lips feeling sticky. After a while I actually forget that I'm wearing it because I can't feel it, but then I will look in the mirror and BAM... It's still there! I am actually thinking to go back and get more of them!



Before...

After!

The wand.

Hope you guys enjoyed this!

Organization: Top of my Dresser

At the moment I am in the middle of re-doing my room and today I am going to show you how I organized the top of my dresser and made it look cleaner and neater!

My first idea was I took a pin board that I had purchased a while ago from PBTeen and I placed it on a stand that painters use to put pictures on that they are painting! Then I took little pins and hung up my favorite necklaces!
Necklaces.

My favorite little corner!
Okay, so this idea I had really made me feel like I was smart! I took mason jars and filled some with headbands and another one I filled with little random things. The I took the lids and filled one with barrettes and bobby pins and the other with hair ties! This makes it so much easier to find things and I think the jars are super cute!
Full of headbands.

Random little goodies.

Bobby pins and hair ties.

Thats all I have for you today! I hope you got some inspiration!

Pinteresting DIY: Blueberry Snack

For this weeks Pinteresting I decided to do a recipe! This is a delicious snack that is super simple to make and taste absolutely delicious! Not to mention the fact that it is super-duper healthy as well! To make this all you have to do is get a skewer or toothpick and start stabbing blueberries, then drizzle them (or dunk them) in yogurt, then freeze them! It is such a great summer time snack! If your wondering, I used plain yogurt and they tasted fantastic, but at the moment I have some blueberries in the freezer with raspberry yogurt on them. To make the raspberry yogurt, I took raspberry jam and mixed it into the plain yogurt!
Putting the yogurt on.

After they are frozen!

Eating my treat:)
   If you try this out then I hope you like it!

Jewelry Haul

Today I was just sitting on my bed watching YouTube videos when my mom said, "Girls come in here and pick out some jewelry!" Of course we both went running! My mom had gone through her jewelry box and was offering to give us some jewelry that she seldom wears, so she can clean out her jewelry box. I recommend that if you are feeling the need to clean out your jewelry box, then invite some friends over with their old jewelry and swap pieces! It's a great way to get new jewelry without having to spend any money. Here are the 8 things I picked out:



                                  
Beaded bracelet



Twirly earrings

Ghost earrings

Spiral earrings
The clasp on the beaded bracelet

Sailboat bracelet



Stone necklace

The front of the stone

The back of the stone

The silver bar anklet

Clasp on the anklet


Silver shell ring

French Braid Ponytail

Recently the weather has been unbelievably HOT. Like, 100 degrees almost every day! So I have been looking for ways to wear my hair that are cute but also keep my hair of my face and my neck. So in the end I decided to follow the braided hair trend, and french braid my hair. But, instead of doing the standard braid down the back of my head, I put my hair into a ponytail at the bottom instead. Another way I tried is putting my hair in a nice and neat ballerina bun at the bottom of the braid and that was super cute too! But unfortunately I'm having trouble recreating the bun, so today I only have pictures of what the ponytail looks like. Sorry! To add to the look a bit more, I went ahead and added one of my favorite headbands which I purchased at American Eagle. You guys will see it again soon, when I show you guys what I bought before and after my vacation I just went on, in a haul! But until then here is my french braided ponytail!



Hope you guys enjoyed!
Hannah xoxo
