She's Such a Charmer

This week has been so busy, I can't believe that it is already Thursday! I have been looking for another job. Both my part times aren't enough and no matter how much I like them I need to find something else. I am hoping for something in the mornings, so I can keep the others but we'll see! I haven't posted in a while and I really should get on that. So now for a little fix-it trick!


I love necklaces with small charms. They are just so hard to find and when you do find unique ones they are $1.50 at Forever 21 and only last a few wears. Well my friends, I have found a way to make them last much long! The secret?

Items pictured:

Rush! Clear top Coat (drugstore)

Pliers (craft store)

Small Hoop (craft store)

Old Charm Necklace (Forever 21)

Gold Chain (From Grandma)

It is a clear top coat nail posh!

Coat your charm with 1-2 coats and bam! you are set. 

But why stop there? What I do is find a real gold chain with the length that I like and, from my local craft store, a bag of small hoops. 

Note: try to get hoops that are just slightly bigger then the ends of your new necklace. 

With the pliers you remove the charm from the old chain and hoop and re-hoop it to the new hoop! (Re-hoop, made up words are the best, haha) 

If you do this will all your little charms you have a new necklace in seconds. When you want to wear it you just thread that charm on your gold chain and Voila! You are good to go. 

I like to collect all my charms on a board. It is pretty and at a glance I am able to see which one I'd like to wear! (psst... there is going to be a  D.I.Y. about it soon to follow)

Any plans for this coming weekend? I think I am going to Apple Valley. We'll see. The grandma wants to visit an old friend. Well, I hope all my lovelies are having a wonderful day <3

Dreaming My Life Away

Dress, bag and shoes: Target

Cardigan: Urban

Belt: Thrifted

Socks: local dollar store

Is it just me or are polka dots everywhere now? I adore it! They just have something so timeless about them. This dress is a jersey material and it is so comfortable, I want to wear it all the time! And once I found these sock I knew the two were meant to be. The price was a plus. Who would have known that the dollar store had such cool socks?!

Anyways, I hope you had a wonderful weekend! The first half of mine was quite nice. I went to Pasadena with my Grandma on Saturday. We shopped, talked about how things where when she was young and ate macarons. She grew up in Argentina. Things seemed so much simpler back then. She said that on Saturdays girls would spend hours getting ready at the salons to go out and when they did it was just walking the main street with friends, occasionally watch a movie. I like hearing stories of her past. Sunday was a total change thou. I was sick and just not feeling well. So I slept, drank a lot of tea and watched American Dad to laugh the sickness way. I think it helped. Today I am feeling so much better!

D.I.Y. Sugar Body Scrub

Aww yeah! Before I start, I just want to say thank you for the support that all of my dear friends and fellow bloggers have given me. It is really encouraging and I appreciate it dearly! I actually celebrated by dancing with myself to Brit-pop music because I was that happy. So again, thank you, your support means a lot to me. ♥

And now for my first D.I.Y: A Sugar Body Scrub!

I, personally, love body scrubs but I don't like buying things that I can easily make. Plus most body scrub have added preservatives and other fancy-smancy chemicals that are really not needed. So after a few fails I finally made a body scrub that I like. 

1/2 cup Sugar
Juice from half a lemon
1 TBS honey
and my top secret ingredient...
1 tsp coffee grounds(optional)


I love the smell, texture and color that the coffee. You can choose to leave it out or use just a little if you wish.


Just mix all these ingredients together in the bowl, mug or jar of your choice and PRESTO! It is that easy.


FYI: I like my scrub to not be as thick as most are. If don't you can add more sugar until you reach the desired consistency. Balance it out by adding just a little more honey. Sometimes I use brown sugar instead of just regular sugar, It is completely up to you.




By the way, do you guys have any tips for this beginning blogger? I would love to hear them! 

Enjoy!
