DIY Acrylic Tray

(Yes, that is a picture of me as a baby, My sweet boyfriend, did it for me for our first X-mas 5 years ago!)

I love Acrylic Trays. I just love the way they look, Modern yet Classic at the same time. I always was looking for a good one, always hoping my beloved Target would make one. But I never really found one that was in my price range and that I could justified getting for my room. 

So one day while reading Carrie Bradshaw Lied 's Blog, I saw how she had a look for less on Acrylic Trays and I could not wait to do it myself. 
All you need to do is go to a craft store and buy acrylic box picture frames. That SIMPLE. Now she did add scrap book paper but I did not. You can see her look HERE. I could not believe how simple and cheap it was to do. It was under 10 dollars and I got used a 40% coupon at  the Michael's Craft Store.


That is all you need. Can you believe it? You just pick the size and how many you want. Also make sure you look for coupons before you go, Craft Stores always have coupons online!


I am in love with the way it looks in my bedroom. I am considering getting a larger one for my downstairs coffee table!

DIY Lemon Honey Face Mask

(I just love the Honey Bear...too cute!)
DIY Face Mask are always nice because most of the time you have the things you need already at your house. I have a few that I love to do. I am going to share with you my go to mask for glowing skin. So if you have dull skin or need a pick me up, try this DIY Face Mask:

Lemon Honey Face Mask. ( Brightening Mask)
  • 1/2 fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp of honey 
  • Mix together and leave on for 20-30 mins. 

It is so simple. I always have fresh lemons and honey so there is not reason to go to the store. It is a little messy so I will put it on and hop in to the bath tub (or Tub as I call it). If you don't like baths you can simple put a towel down just in case. It does not dry like a clay mask so just watch the clock so you know when it is time to take it off your face.

Make sure your face is clean and dry. Make sure you used warm water so your pores are opened. It does tingle a little bit but it is just the lemon juice! You can use a washcloth to take it off (adds extra exfoliation) or just water, first use warm water (never hot) then splash your face with cold water to close up your pores.

This DIY Face Mask is simple, fast, and it gives you beautiful glowing skin.

Stay Sweet,
Katie
