Monday Questionnaire! December 9, 2013


All I want to be doing right now is sitting on my couch with some warm tea and reading a book (or watching my recorded Bonnie and Clyde). It's another Monday, which means another week has began and must be finished. 
1.) Mood: 
- Happy that my cold has come and gone without turning into bronchitis (happens almost every time. 


2.) Does the winter season tend to draw you indoors, or outdoors? 
- Indoors. I don't enjoy the cold, but the winter always means crafts for me! Which I love! I like to be busy, and when I stay indoors, I get extra creative. 
3.) Would you rather wear summer clothes in winter, or winter clothes in summer? 
- Summer clothes in the winter, you can always layer.

4.) Current nail polish: 
- Nail Rock caviar in Red and Gold. I got it at TJ Maxx last week for like $5. 
5.) What is your idea of a holiday makeup look? 
- A would love to be able to pull off dark lips! I love that look in Fall and Winter. Maybe one day I'll get up the courage to rock it. 

6.) Current outfit: 
-  A dark and dreary outfit for a dark and dreary day. My jeans are from American Eagle, my shirt and jewelry is from Forever 21, and my cardigan is from Target. All black everything. 
7.) What is your favorite winter accessory? 
- Hmm, cardigans? Cardigans or sweaters. Anything I can later up and accessorize. 
8.) You have a free day to do anything you want-- what do you do?
- Drink lots of coffee, go shopping, take a bubble bath, and read a great book. 
 
9.) What are your favorite holiday decorations? 
- I love going to see the lights. As well as Christmas trees. 
10.) Weekly goals: 

- Stay afloat, get my new trainee to feel comfortable in the job, eat healthy, and look cute :)

Blogtober Day 24! DIY Remove Black Stains from Hardwood Floors

      This blog is coming to you by accident, of course. I don't know if I've mentioned it much on this blog, but I have two pitbulls. I know, a lot to handle, and one of them is a puppy. She is horrible sometimes, but I can't help but love her. Our whole house is hardwood floors, which I love! With my two dogs, if the happen to have an accident it's really easy to clean up...or so I thought.  We have had a large living room rug down for about 6 months now. Over the weekend we decided to take it outside and air it out and do a little "Fall Cleaning". Low and behold underneath the rug were huge dark black spots on the hardwood. I immediately jumped on Pinterest to see what to do. It turns out dogs urine causes the wood to turn black (who knew?). So I found a solution that I'm really excited to share with you.  Peroxide! Awesome, I had plenty on hand and immediately started to try it out. At first I used a paint brush to apply it to the specific areas.  Almo

Personal Planner Setup

I have been using a planner for as long as I can remember. My little OCD self needs something to keep me grounded and on track. About 3 years ago I discovered Erin Condren as well as the planner community on social media (if you are a planner person check them out, it is such a positive and supportive group of people). If you're not familiar, the Erin Condren Life Planner is an A5 size planner (7" by 9") and is a thick planner. For me, this type of planner is not convenient for every day use so this planner stays at home on my desk and is used mostly for my creative side, not functionality. This brings me to my personal size planner, I use a Kate Spade Wellesley planner which can be bought at the Kate Spade Outlet stores (these outlets will ship to you so call around if you don't live close to one and are interested). Currently as pictured above I am using the red version which was re-released this Summer, and I also have a black version which is always in stock.

DIY IKEA Kitchen Shelf

  It is finally complete! I have been working on decorating this bad boy for a few weeks now and I'm in love! Thanks to my dear husband we were able to turn this cheap IKEA shelving unit into an adorable farmhouse style kitchen shelf pretty easily. See below for our step by step!    This is the IKEA Mulig Shelving Unit which is $59.99 for the largest size. This measures 47 1/4x13 3/8x63 3/4 "    We purchased a 3/4" piece of plywood at Home Depot in which we got cut in store for each shelf. These measure 46 1/2" by 13"    Also at a Home Depot we purchased a tube of Loctite Power Grip and a small can of Golden Pecan stain . This stain matches a few other items in our house so they would all look cohesive.    Once home, let the staining begin.      After one coat of stain was dry we used the Loctite to place the plywood on the shelves. We used sand bags to weigh down e
