Construction Update

Well, we have a shower and walls. Paint is going in this week, then underlayment, our new flooring, trim work and then we are DONE!! Hopefully this time next week we will be settled in and back on blogging schedule. Again, I apologize. This was supposed to be a one weekend project that has been going about a month now. I can't wait to have all of my stuff out of storage and put back in it's place!

Update

The bathroom is still under construction. We discovered water damage that had travelled into our sons room adjacent to the bathroom. Will keep the blog updated when I can. Hopefully will be done around December, or close to done. Fingers crossed we get our shower back this week!

Construction

Please bear with me during this lull in blogs. Our bathroom is being remodeled and currently looks like this:  

So all of my pretty products are in storage until we are done. I will try to do postings if something fun comes up that is easy to review! Hope this gets done quick!!

DIY minion costume

We hosted a Halloween party for our friends at our house last weekend. I knew right away we were going as a minion and Gru. My husband is a big bald guy and it was just too perfect. 

Costumes were purchased at Goodwill, I used yellow RIT dye to dye the shirt and leggings and used black pipe cleaners and hot glued them to a yellow hard hat for my minion head. I got a witch nose from a halloween store and attached it with spirit gum to get the long Gru nose. I used a dark brown eyeliner pen and drew on his eyebrows and used MAC Satin Taupe around his eyes for that bruised look Gru has. 

This is definitely one

Of my favorite costumes we've done and was a hit! 

Halloween Nails Part 2

I had big plans for a crazy halloween mani this week, I even did one yesterday and hated it. So it all came off and I decided on something a little more simple and ended up loving it.

Next weekend we are having a big Halloween party at our house with all of our friends so the nails will likely match the costume (top secret!). I'll post some pics afterward, I'm so excited!!

I like this because I get the funkiness but it's still cute and classy, without being overboard or tacky. Just a simple shimmery orange on 4 nails, a shimmery black on the ring finger and a nail art brust on the ring finger to make white spiderwebs!
