Fashionista Clock

I am always looking for unique items to decorate my home in. My personal favorite shopping is through Etsy, antique and thrift shopping, that is where I find one-of-a-kind items. The detail on this clock is just stunning, and full of ornate detail. The white contrasts with the wood behind it to give an organic feel that will look great in my kitchen.

The Kirie 01 Bamboo clock is made of bamboo and inspired by Japanese design. I could not have dreamed for a more special clock! The minute I laid eyes on it I clicked purchase on Etsy.com. I can't wait to receive it in the mail!

ghd Flat Iron AKA Necessity

Currently I have a Chi Flatiron, which I have no complaints about, except that it is now five years old. I have course thick hair and I recently cut it into an angled, bob. I love the haircut but am finding I need a new flat iron because I want a sleek, straight look.

Whenever I get my hair done my hairdresser uses a ghd flatiron and it is shocking the results. With one swipe, and my hair is wavy/frizzy, it completely straightens and lays nice. The best part is is that it stays flat the whole day, no frizz or mess to deal with. With my current Chi iron I have to swipe over multiple times and still don't get the look I am striving for. I think its time to go for the flatiron! Seriously love, love, love the results!

Crazy CrockPot Lady

I know this is going to be hard to believe but....this lady really used her crock pot 365 days and never repeated a recipe! Crazy and impressive. I am no chef myself so I think this is so awesome! In 2008 she made a New Years Resolution to make every meal in a slow cooker for the whole year...and she did it. I don't think I have ever made a New Years Resolution and actually stuck it out for the whole year....also impressive.

I am always struggling for dinner ideas. I feel like I always have the same things night to night so after reading about "crock pot lady" it inspired me to think outside of the box. Here are a few of her delicious recipes: sweet & spicy chicken wings, lazy chicken, baked spinach and and cheese noodles...the list goes on and on. So no more complaining that you can't come up with recipe ideas. If this lady can make a new dish every day of the year, cooking is possible for the rest of us!

Blueprint Storage

Ever find yourself scrounging for tax papers or receipts and find them damaged or ripped? I know I have! That was until I discovered a Blueprint Storage unit from Cutting-mats.net. These portable organizational units keep track of all my receipts, important papers and documents. I never lose anything and it is all kept in tack.

My personal favorite is the upright mobile roll files because I can move it to wherever I need at ease. It fits perfectly under my desk in the office and when I need access to it, it is readily available. I also enjoy the upright mobile roll file because I am building a new home. My blueprints are on giant pieces of paper and are so inconvenient to store. Without the blueprint storage unit my blueprints would be tattered and worn. I just roll them up and place them in the upright storage compartments for ease of access without them getting ruined or in the way!

Wallstickers

I am a college student and don't exactly have the biggest funds to dress up my home. I love having my home be cozy and inviting but because I move often putting up home decor has been a lot of work...therefore my walls are bare. Then I discovered wall stickers! They are a fun, unique way to dress up your home at an inexpensive cost. Wall stickers only cost $10-$20 dollars and are durable. You would be surprised how long they really do last. I have had three peony flower wall stickers and they have traveled through three of my apartments. They are great for adding that little added detail to your home.

When I saw this dandelion wall sticker I couldn't resist. It is so original and fun. It adds a special touch that creates a unique vibe to any space. Not only are wall stickers versatile they also don't damage your walls. This factor is especially important to renters. So many times people pound holes or damage their walls from putting up wall hangings. Wall stickers add comfort to your home without an expensive price tag.

Beauty Organization

Over the years I have accumulated so many different products that my bathroom cabinets and drawers are over flowing. I find things I forgot I had and I'm getting sick of never being able to find anything. I am running out of space and thought about unique ways I could create storage without spending a lot of money.

I discovered an easy storage idea that is super cheap. With StickOnPods and their clear plastic containers that can stick to any surface, including the inside door of your cabinets. You can store nail polish, extra toothbrushes, makeup, face wash etc. I now have a lot more space to manage my bathroom necessities and will no longer have a headache trying to rummage through my extreme amount of products!

Spring is approaching you know what that means...freshening up those fingers and toes! Ditch your dry, flaky skin from winter with this Head to Toe Repair Kit by Burt's Bees. This kit includes everything you need to moisturize: Beeswax lip balm, coconut foot cream, soap bark and chamomile deep cleansing cream, hand salve, naturally nourishing milk and honey hand cream, and fresh peppermint body cleanser.
