Body Shop

EEEE, I went a little crazy on the Body Shop website.

Luckily, I had a good excuse. 

I have heard about cooling lotions and really wanted to try one out.

As I discuss in this post, the summers are really hard on me.

I am really hoping the cooling products I purchased will help with some of that!

So here we gooooooo!

Gettin' Personal

Hi guys, let's get weird!

I feel like I've known ya'll long enough to discuss my underthings.

Right? 

Probably not.

Oh well.

Chair Update

Last summer I found a directors chair on the curb.

It was missing the fabric parts and my boyfriend insisted the wood was broken.

He just didn't want to pick it up and knew he would be forced into cleaning it.

After a lot of begging and reminders of how cute I am, he begrudgingly put it in the car for me.

I feel like I may have made him pick up a little too much "trash" that summer.

A few days later we (he was right, I forced him to help) cleaned it up and I made a new cloth seat and back for it out of this insane upholstery fabric I picked up at a house sale for $1:

Isn't it so perfect in the creepiest way?!

Here is the final product:

So cute! 

It just goes to show you that taking the time to fix up someones trash can truly create a treasure.

Let me know of any great curb finds you've had and what, if anything, you did to jazz them up!

Maybelline Eyeliner Review

Hey everybody it's Meagan again, and I'd like to tell you guys about an 

liquid eyeliner I've really been liking lately.

Its Maybelline Line Stiletto.

The applicator is felt tip which is much easier for me to apply than a brush, but you dip it into the liquid so it doesn't get dry and pull at my eyelids while applying.
 I have it in brown which works well against my pale skin.

You can draw a thin or thick line and its easy to control. This is the only eyeliner I have tried that I've been able to achieve a cat eye with. It goes on smoothly and builds nicely if you want to go over a certain spot or make the line thicker. It also comes off with soap and water or make up remover wipes pretty easily. 

Kitchen Decor

I just wanted to share with you guys my adorable kitchen jars.

They are just some mason/candle jars that I put cute stickers on and filled with cooking staples.

One of those "cooking staples" is black jelly beans...

They are so dorky, but I think they make the kitchen so much cuter.

Let me know if you like these and if you guys

have any great kitchen decor tips

on a tiny budget!

P.S. You can see these jars featured in this post about a diy lip scrub.

Quick and Cheap Wall Art

Trying to make a college apartment feel homey can be difficult.

To liven up our hospital-white walls my roommate and I wanted to hang some artwork.

Unfortunately, we have no money.

Luckily, my roommate's parents were getting rid of their old record album frames.

My roommate snatched them up and a brilliant idea was born.

We decided to put scrapbook paper in the frames!

DIY Lip Scrub

No, I don't want no scrub. A scrub is a guy who can't get no love from me.

Wait. Wrong kind of scrub.

HOW EMBARRASSING. 

Anyway, Here is a super easy and cheap lip scrub recipe!

All you need are these ingredients: 

If you can't tell by my bitchin' jar labels this is granulated sugar, coconut oil, and olive oil.
