This DIY mirror is one of the easiest decor projects I have ever attempted. I wanted something cute, yet functional and thought…why not a mirror, (PS. you could make a photo frame in the exact same way)…
This is how to make your own DIY mirror or frame in basically two steps:
Myang recently sent me the cutest sun hats for the boys. Liam got the sailboats, Caleb the monsters, and Aidan the khaki and cars.
How crazy adorable are they! with the hats came this pretty bag which gave me an idea. I needed to make an emergency bag to leave in the car. For those impromptu visits to the beach or park or you know general outdoors areas.
This is what I filled my bag with:
I’m not sure why I thought of doing a glammed up post today. I sure am not looking super glam , but the thing is, if I had to I could. No I am not just being full of myself, this is a time tested “template” which I figured I’d share because, I’m a sharer like that.
First the back story. I live “out of town” by “out of town” I mean a good drive in and out to the office every day. So when I was a lifestyle reporter (and even now as a blogger) going home to get dressed up for a function would mean too much time and hassle (also petrol is expensive) , because of this I learnt to get glammed up in places like, mall bathrooms, the back seat of the car and even an abandoned office. What used to be a clumsy hope and prayer situation has been fine tuned and these are my tips.
Why would you need these tips? Because you never know when you need to be glammed up in a pinch, that’s why
When last did I do a DIY Toy here? When last did I do a DIY anything? those of you new to the blog, I used to focus mostly on crafts and DIYs , hacks and tips and although the hacks and tips are here every week I have not DIYed in a while – actually no, I have, I just have not taken any pictures of said DIYs in a while…so last night Aidan and I sat down at my crafting desk (yes i have one of those) and came up with these face pebbles.
This diy toy is sooo simple and can be used in a variety of ways, we play tic-tac-toe, memory and we also do simple addition and subtraction games (yes , my kid thinks maths is a game. yes, I should get a maternity test)
I’m putting safe in quotations because I am no expert on how safe alcohol would be in banting and diabetic diets. My own dietician was like, let’s cut out alcohol and revisit it. I figured I’d do some research (on reputable sites) so when she was ready to revisit I would be super ready to cater this visit.
So it felt like perfect timing when InterContinental hotels & resorts sent me a stunning (I might have to redo my lounge for it to fit in) cocktail set. I was eager to try it out, but with my diabetic situation and financial situation (adulting in 2017 is expensive, joh) I knew I needed to keep both the sugar and the cost down. I managed to do both with these recipes
My whole life seems to be sugar-free right now so isn’t it fitting to bring back one of my most popular series, with a sugar-free twist.
I did a little poll a while ago asking if you guys would like me to do my cheap things I love series again… You know like THIS ONE and THIS ONE The answer was a overwhelming yes, so that is exactly what I am doing. Sharing a list of great bargain finds but this time we go sugar-free
