Products I love!


Hey everyone, I've totally been in spring cleaning mode, and the place I find myself obsessed with cleaning the most is my car. I try my hardest with it's up-keep but after winter it's usually an unholy mess. I need a very thorogh detailing on the next extremely warm day but the first thing I did was clean out all the garabage, and buy this air freshner from bath and body works!

This is a Leopard print Peace sign Slatkin & Co. SCENTPORTABLE®. It came with the Scent Vanilla Coconut. I also bought an "Island Margarita" scented refill. Hopefully these last quite a while, but they are rather inexpensive. Much cheaper than I thought they would be when I first saw them. The freshener with scent included will run you about $6.50, and the refills are $5. They come in all kinds of shapes and colors, I'm probably gonna to get my mom the lady bug shaped one it's so cute! Go check em out and pick one up for a try, Enjoy!

My Ever Growing Reading List...

It's a little early in the year to post my reading list, I usually post it at the beginning of summer. It's not even spring yet but, it's a wacky winter with high temperatures and minimal snow, so I've gotten my spring reading fever early. Also, I read all year round, so I'm gonna drop more updates more often. This is one list I really love adding to and crossing things off of.

I've was a little distracted the last year or so and didn't make as much of a chunk from this as I would have liked, hopefully I'll remedy that soon. There are still oodles of books out there I don't know about that are waiting for me to read them so, If anyone has any suggestions please share. I love book recommendations. P.S. Don't you love those bookcovers pictured above? They are actually a book set from the Juniper Books they make custum book collections. The I Heart Books set contains:

DIY Tuesday: New Uses for Old Tees.

Hello it's DIY Tuesday again! I've been majorly slacking in th blog world, reading them more then posting them. But I've finally decided to try some crafts I've found on Pinterest. I love the idea of reusing t-shirts. T-shirt fabric is so comfy and very versatile, so I dug out some old shirts and got to crafting.

First I made a Headband using instructions from the blog CraftSnob.


I also made a Scarf from another Floral T-shirt using the instruction from P.S. I Made This.

Here's me wearing the Finished products! These were very fun and easy, and no sewing required. I used a glue gun to attach the flower to the headband.

I hope you enjoyed these and give them a try. I get lots of compliments when I wear them. Everyone loves them even more when you tell them you made them yourself. Happy Crafting!
