My girls absolutely love to have their finger nails painted. I don’t mind painting there nails, especially because they really love it. I do however not really feel comfortable using nail polishes on them that have a great deal of chemicals in them. I was very impressed when I came across Piggy Paint

About Piggy Paint:

Melanie Hurley is the Founder of Piggy Paint. She always hated the thought of her children putting their hands in their mouths after she painted their nails with traditional kid polishes. The ingestion of chemicals worried her as well as the smell of painting all those nails. One day they were painting nails and her daughter dropped some paint onto a foam plate. The polish quickly bubbled up and then ate through the plate.

Here is another craft that I have been wanting to do for quite awhile. I have seen several similar door decorations and have always wanted to have one. Somehow no matter how many times I went to Hobby Lobby and how many different ones I went to, they never had an ‘F’. I could hardly contain myself from doing a little dance when I finally found my ‘F’.

This project is probably one of the easiest crafts that I have ever seen or made myself.

Supplies Needed: 

  • Large Initial Letter
  • Spray Paint in any color of your choice
  • Wide Ribbon (I am a fan of the burlap ribbons)
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Twine to use to hang the letter
  • Staple Gun

Via Cacao uses high-quality materials like Peruvian pima cotton in vibrant colors and quirky patterns to create pieces that make a statement and defy dress codes. After all, fashion is a form of expression that deserves to be cultivated in even the youngest savvy dressers.

I am a big fan of jewelry. I absolutely love my new watch from Original Grain and have received a ton of compliments on it as well.

About Original Grain:

Original Grain emerged from the minds of three regular guys who grew up together intheir home state of Oregon. Brothers, Ryan and Andrew Beltran and their lifelong friend, Jasem. As natives of the beautiful Pacific Northwest, the cultural influence of the great outdoors was engrained in their minds from an early age. So, designing something that incorporated wood was a natural fit when they sat down to create the first line of OG watches.

To put things simply, the wood symbolizes the nature of the Pacific Northwest, a place known for it’s superior outdoor lifestyle, and the stainless steel represents the cityscape of Hong Kong, a hot pot for trendy fashion. And as we all know, a little California style never hurt anyone.
