March Craft Month - Wow! in Home Art Class

Celebrating a month-long holiday can be hard work! Said no one ever.

Did you know that March is National Craft Month? Not to be confused with National Scrapbook Day in May (for those paper crafters out there...who also turn it into a month-long May celebration.)

I took advantage of the craft awareness month to design new in-home classes for Wow! Embossing Powder. My personal guinea princesses (guinea pigs didn't seem nice) were more than willing to play along and test drive the course last weekend.

None of these women are veteran paper crafters. They have other crafty talents (that I MUST tap into)!  So, the design of the classes were perfect to try out with them. I love hearing the joy from the first venture into paper crafts....after my safety messages when wielding a heat gun.

With all the fun to be had in learning the ropes, we made it through only 2 of the 3 projects. No one was really in a rush to move on from what they were doing.

Who's next? :)

Friday Favorites - March 20

Here are some of my favorite tried-and-true Beauty Products.


For super wavy "beach" curls - the Goody Heat Wave Creator Curling Iron. Unfortunately this is a discontinued model, but similar irons are out there from Revlon and BedHead.

For a twist on my personal Jo Malone Signature Scent, a touch of Wild Bluebell.

For stay-put fine hair styles, Kenra's Volume Hair Spray. A MUST HAVE for fine hair!

Multi-vitamin Moisturizer for your Face; light and absorbent.Err-day.

I've used this Eye Cream ever since I started to use Eye Cream a few years ago. Also, light and absorbent. That's a general theme for me. I also like to get a stress relief gum ball from the shop when I stop by.

Say Yes to Cucumbers Face Wipes because I like cucumbers and I like a quick refresher. This product made its way into my routine just half a year ago when I ran out of Kirkland brand wipes and picked these up in a pinch at Whole Foods during lunch.

Just when I thought I couldn't be swayed to spend more on lip color I am introduced to YSL Rouge Pur Couture No. 10. It immediately knew my natural taste for luxury and clung to my lips all day and night as if to prove I was getting my money's worth. Plus, it smells so delicious I can't believe I'm not devouring it off my lips. 

Friday Favorites - March 6

Happy Friday!

It may be a two-year old recurring from 200-years ago trend, but I am still fascinated by Fascinators. The pictures don't do justice to Rachel Radcliffe's work. Her attention to detail is unmatched. Check out her shop, Feather Light Design on Etsy...which by the way is a new IPO! Congrats @Etsy - so excited for your team!!

My constant companion, my confidant, my personal assistant, my digital friend... the iPhone 6 Plus. 

My dirty little secret, my budget saver, my super model status, my kind of service.... 

Rent the Runway.

The most delicious smelling hand cream and a slick deal at $6. 

Have a great weekend!
