So this past week I've been moving into our new townhouse apartment thingy and I've been trying to pick out things to decorate with, easy, quick meals, homemade cleaning supplies, etc. These are my best finds and I wanted to share them! :)
First up, (my latest obsession) Chalkboard paint! Have an old frame? A piece of wood? Poster board? Food tray? Spray it with chalkboard paint and have the cutest little home decor you ever did see! Not gonna lie to you, I have a TON of chalkboards, white boards, etc. ALL over my house. I think they are SUPER cute and it's a sweet way Thayer and I can surprise each other with cute little notes :) VERY inexpensive. I think I got a can of chalkboard paint for less than $5 at wal mart. :)
Next up, a yummy, healthy snack!
I thought this looked delicious! And definitely not hard to do. I'd explain all the steps to you, but the pictures say it all! :) I might have to make this tonight when I get home... ;)
Here's what you need to make this homemade Laundry Detergent!
3 bars Fels Naptha, grated - (I have no idea what this stuff really is, just what the recipe said!) ($1.33 x 3)
1 box Borax ($5.85 - 76 ounces)
1 box Washing Soda ($4.07 - 55 ounces)
2 cups of baking soda ($0.53 cents)
2 containers of Dollar Tree Oxyclean (I bought mine at Family Dollar store…SUN Brand…$4.00 each)
1-2 containers of Purex fabric softener crystals ($6.97 - 28 ounces)
Grate the bars of soap, and mix all of the ingredients together. The best way to do that is to put it in a big trash bag (probably double trash bags, just to be safe.) and shake it all around. Once you're all mixed up, you're good to go!
Enjoy homemade laundry soap that is supposed to last you a WHOLE YEAR! (At least that's what the recipe told me.)
I hope all my finds are things you find nifty too! :)
Next in line for discussion, today's Beauty Product! :)
I had to think about this one before I chose it for today's beauty product. It's not the cheapest thing I've ever bought, but I do have to say that I LOVE it. It works so good and stays on for hours!
This is Victoria Secret Lipstick! I found it on my last venture into that store! :) I have that exact color and I am in love with it. It's girly, fun, and a little bit edgier than what I was used to. Go out on a limb for once and grab a daring color at the store! You're lipstick and lip gloss can say a lot about you so don't be afraid of trying new ones and seeing what looks best on you! I was a little scared to wear this the first time I did, but I got more compliments on this color than I ever have on any other color I've worn. :) It's so worth it.
Promise ;)

And last but DEFINITELY not least, my favorite part of the blog, some words from God. :)
Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
If that doesn't make you want to join God's side, I don't know what will!
God does give us strength. Through our words, our actions, our faith, conquering our fears, and little everyday dramas. Walk with God, and you won't walk alone. He has your back, just let him catch you! And he will always give you the strength to get back up and keep going. When you feel like you've reached rock bottom, reach up! God will grab your hand and pull you up with Him.
I hope that inspired you beauties. Always remember that God loves you and no matter what hard things you come to today, He is right there. Always within reach. :) Have a great day! Love, Steph
P.S. I got all of these images from either Pinterest or Google. I do not own these images, just using them as an example. :)
