DIY Holiday Gifts

The Holiday's can be a stressful time for many due to financial reasons and the feeling of trying to purchase the 'perfect gift.' No need to worry my friends! There are a plethora of easy and quality DIY presents that won't break the bank and will be appreciated by everyone!

1. Infused Olive Oil. It's easy to do and delicious. I use Olive Oil in just about every dish and it's perfect for bread dipping. Add garlic cloves, rosemary, jalapenos, pepper flakes or citrus to the bottles of quality Olive Oil. It's a unique gift and will be a fun surprise especially for those foodies.

 

2. For the Fashionistas: I'm a sucker for jewelry especially if it's one-of--a-kind. These options are not only beautiful but appear simple to do!





 

Pick fabric that has some stretch to it. You can even use some old tee's that you haven't worn in awhile!

3. For the home: Every time they see the present they'll think of you!

Even the basics need a little sprucing up. Use paint or wax dipping to give your wooden utensils a pop of color.
 

Purchase geodes and other beautiful rocks at a local hobby store and using super glue attach to a wine cork.  

Take a cheap door mat (you can find them at Ikea) and using a stencil and spray paint personalize it with initials or a cute saying.

Awesome idea and so practical!

Happy DIY, get your craft on!

High on Holiday Fashion

It's that time of year when we have Holiday parties galore not to mention New Years right around the corner. While I typically opt for a dress of some sort, with the weather being so chilly I've felt the longing to wear something a bit more casual and not as frilly. Here are a couple of my favorite looks for a fancy night out.

1. The snazzy sequined pants

2. Knee Highs

 If these are a little too risque for you, try layering with tights.
