Blogtober Day 23! Colors of the Rainbow Tag

This was way tougher than I planned on it being! Indigo and violet? Who knows? Ha. This is a tag that was going around the YouTube community over the summer and I thought it was fun! So here are my choices for the colors of the rainbow.

Red - MAC Eyeshadow in Cranberry. I love this color! I went a long time just looking at this color into palette without really knowing how to use it. Maybe since it's Fall I've been using this color at least once a week!

Orange - Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Toasted. This blush is the perfect coral. My all time favorite!

Yellow(ish) - My Real Techniques face brushes. These are some of the best brushes that exist (a little dramatic?).

Green - Smashbox Photo Fonish Primer. This is the blemish control version that I received as a sample from Ulta. It does a great job and for someone who is oily like me, primer is a necessity.

Blue - Clean and Clear Morning Burst Hydrating Gel Moisturizer. I've been using this stuff for about 3 months now and I don't plan on buying anything else.

Indigo(ish) - My favorite sample from Ipsy so far is my Michael Todd Charcoal Facial Scrub.

Violet - Benefit Blush in Hervana. This color is one of my most reached for. This color goes great with almost any look! Love it.

Pink - This is all for packaging! This Rose gold packaging is my favorite MAC packaging ever!

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.

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

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
