DIY Day: Beaded Hemp Bracelet

Wednesday Wishes: How to wear colored twill

I've been really wanting to try the colored twill bottoms that are popping up everywhere.  The problem is, I just haven't been thoughtful enough to determine how I would wear them.

Now I think I'm going to have to try because they're just so cute! How would you wear yours?

Post Superbowl Sunday: Beer Dip

For an easy, crowd pleasing snack, try Beer Dip at your next get together.  Simply combine two 8 oz packages of cream cheese (softened), a packet of ranch dressing mix and two cups of shredded cheddar cheese.  After you've combined these ingredients, add 1/3 cup of light beer (dark or "flavorful" beers tend to give an odd taste so stick with something light!) and continue mixing.  Refrigerate for at least three hours and enjoy with pretzels!

DIY Day: Good Luck Card

A friend of mine recently took a risk and interviewed for the police academy.  Naturally, this was the perfect time for me to try my new stamps I found at Michael's a few weeks ago.

She loved it!  Now, I'm crossing my fingers that she'll hear good news soon!

Wednesday Wishes: A Touch of Lace

From dresses to shorts, lace is expected to be everywhere this spring, and I cannot wait.  There's something so feminine and delicate about lace.  Paired with a structured blazer or masculine top, this fabrication is sure to be a staple in my wardrobe.
