Coke Bottle DIY for Spring!

Springtime is here, and what better way to celebrate than with fresh flowers! I found some cool pictures of old coke bottles turned into vases. Unfortunately, I did it wrong, but it still looks cool! The thing is, when you look at the tutorials here and here you'll see that you should paint the inside of the bottle. My bottle was green, so I painted the outside.

Decorating Your Dorm

Decision time is here!!! I am 10 days away from submitting my graduate school decision. I can imagine your excitement at getting ready for your first year of college!

Probably one of the most fun parts of going to college is decorating your dorm room. For guys, it's all about electronics and which comfy couch to get. For girls, it's about coordinating with your roommate and finding the cutest things to settle you into your home away from home for a whole year.

Top 10 Things A Graduating Senior Should Know!

If you're a senior, you're probably aching with suspense at the month and a half of squares on the calendar until graduation. As a graduating senior in college, I can relate. Take a deep breath, and check out the top ten things to know BEFORE you get to college.

 

10. The first time you get sick away from home is AWFUL. Stock up on OTCs before you go so that you don't have to try and get out of bed while you're ill. 

9. It's ok to get homesick. If you're feeling it, everyone else is too, even if they're hiding it.

A Great Look for Spring!

Hey, everyone! I hope you're having a fantastic Easter weekend. I thought I'd share my Easter look with you as a cute outfit for Spring!

 

First, start with the hair. I am in love with the sock bun. It's so easy to do, and great for when you don't feel like shampooing your hair. Tip: Always secure with a few bobby pins. Pull out a few hairs on the sides for a messy, cute look. Check out a YouTube tutorial here. 

Pick the Perfect Dress!

Hi, ladies! I hope you all had a fabulous Spring Break! It's that time of year! Prom and spring formals are here or right around the corner! Whether you're in high school or college, I have some tips to pick the perfect dress to take you from bedroom or dorm to a night on the town!

 

First, check the theme! Going with the theme is never a must, but if it's fun you might want to try! Of course, you can also check the colors so you don't clash with the decor.

Dress for Success: How to Dress for Work

So, you've got that summer job. Now, how do you dress to impress your boss and get that summer job extended? 

 

  • Check your job description and dress requirements. Always dress in accordance with requirements.
  • It's very hard to overdress. It always helps to look nicer than required. It will set you apart from your coworkers and let your boss know that you're serious about your job.
  • Dressing for work doesn't have to be stuffy or frumpy.

Simply Perfect Pancakes!

Hi, everyone! This week has been absolutely crazy! There comes a time in everyone's career when their parents no longer have room for their junk. And that time came for me this weekend when I should have been writing a blog! :D 

 

So I got back and I was tired of eating pasta, which I do probably 5 out of 7 days a week. And the only other thing I had in my kitchen was Bisquick, so I thought... PANCAKES! It's so easy, which is nice because no one in my life ever taught me to make pancakes.

 

Ah! I have let you down!

Sorry for the lack of a blog from me today, everyone! Check back for a new Recipe blog by Wednesday, and your regularly scheduled blog program will be back on Friday!
