LOVE beauty samples?

2011-12-21T05:27:00.002-05:00

Have you heard of BrichBox? Well I have & I love it! Got my first box a couple days ago.

For just $10 a month you get a box at your door step filled with deluxe samples of items, it's like Christmas when it comes lol.

Mine this month had a Kate Spade perfume sample, Nail polish appliques, $20 off coupon, By Terry Face glow primer, mini jouer lip gloss, Show stoppers Double stick designer tape, & a eboost energizer drink mix. I love trying all of the new stuff...so much fun! You find things you would have never thought about trying.

Photo Prop TUTORIAL

2011-06-21T22:29:00.000-04:00

So I've been wanting a new photo prop

to place my shop items on to take pictures.

So I came up with this...

{Feather clip/headband is from my shop, Craft Couture}

Now I'm going to tell you how to make your own :).

{not the feather headpiece of coarse lol}

Photo Prop Tutorial

Supplies: = $2.72

-Mirror or picture frame

-Paint {any color you would like}

-Sponge brush to paint with

-pieces of card stock paper from the scrapbook section of the store {as many as you like because you can switch them out}

First you will want to take your paint and your sponge brush & paint the frame.

Then pop the mirror out of the frame or if it's just a regular picture frame take the back off.

Now cut your card stock paper to fit the back piece of the frame. Just place it on the hard back of the frame & pop it back into your frame.

now you have a Photo prop for your shop items such as headbands, clips, jewelry, pretty much anything that will fit on it or look good.

By not attaching the card stock to the hard back of the frame you can switch out the backgrounds to go with the item you are photographing.

I love how it looks with one of my feather headbands {Grace} from my shop, Craft Couture.

Enjoy & Happy Crafting!

Want some Sparkle in your life?

2011-05-10T13:24:00.001-04:00

So today I have some awesome things to share with you!

A review of...

Pretty little Lion carries Hair clips & headbands.

They are all embellished with the prettiest Preciosa & Swarovski Crystals to add sparkle & shine!

Pretty Little Lion Designs hopes that her pieces helps you sparkle & allows your mane to roar!

Pretty Little Lion Designs Sent me these two

Lovelies I am about to show you.

When I opened my package I found this. The flowers were each in the cutest bags ever! The bags just make you instantly happy lol.

I love when I order handmade stuff and they come in cute packaging, makes it even better & makes me want to order more.

So I opened the little bags and found these beauties!

Aren't they stunning!? The crystals have so much sparkle.

The flowers are the perfect size too.

I would have taken pictures of my little girl wearing them but she wouldn't leave them in long enough, believe me I tired. lol

The backs of them have alligator clips and these soft paper like circles. The only thing is I wish that the clip was lined with ribbon or something so it wouldn't poke my head when I go to put them in my hair.

So I highly recommended Pretty Little Lion Designs.

You will not be disappointed if you are wanting to sparkle!

The only thing that I did not like about them like I said was I wish that the alligator clips were lined so they didn't poke your head when you try to put them on, it's not a big deal just my review. Other than that they are great & I would buy these flowers any day!

So go pay Pretty Little Lion Designs a visit & come back here to tell me what you love if you like :).

**Entries Closed**

I want to introduce you guys to my newest sponsor!
Take it away Natalia!

I am so excited to be here today!
Thanks Dominique for having me!
I am Natalia and I blog at Ma Nouvelle Mode. (It means my new style in French)

Let me introduce myself. I have kinda a funny story. My name is Natalia. I am married to a 6'7" Bahamian, born and raised, and we live in France. I know, right? Crazy. Our boys, we have two, are tri-cultural. And it is really funny to see how they have French in there and neither one of us do. Like my 4-year-old says "oh-la-la!" It is hilarious. I think I should probably stop it before we go back to the states.

My cute boys

Me and the hubs

We live in France because my husband plays basketball here. I love to travel, learning French, being creative, and much more. Over at my place, I blog about crafts I have been into lately, which vary from jewelry to decoration for the house, my interracial, intercultural marriage, being a mom, beauty tips and products and whatever else comes along!

Paris from the Seine River

I am so happy to meet you all today that I have something for you! Yes, straight from France!! You ready to check it out?? Here ya go...

Hi there darlings!

I finally got a tutorial up for you guys, A coin clutch. So make sure you look at it :).

Okay So I've been very busy and have been missing the Hoo Are You weekly questions but don't fret I'm back on it this week haha.

Sooooo here we go...

1. Are you a mom and if so how many kids do you have?

Yup I'm a mommy, I have one little girl!

2. List 3 qualities that you love about your mom!

Funny, Outgoing, & Pretty.

3. What is your favorite thing your mother cooks?

LOL this is a funny one, I can hear my mom telling me to shutup lol. I'm not really sure, lets go with her holiday dinners becuase other than that she is a microwave kind of woman, but she really can cook if she wants to lol.

4. What do you love about being a mom?

Those moments, when they do something that makes you proud or something silly & you think I made her. Well that and just being loved & having unconditional love for her.

5. What are your plans for Mother's day?
We don't have any planned yet, just to spend it with my little girl & prob. my mom :)

Soo there is a little bit more about me. Enjoy! :)
