THE EASIEST DIY EVER

Hey there!

Let me give you a recap of my life before explaining this DIY: So for the past 2 weeks this summer, I've been working a job at an SAT tutoring place as a secretary/assistant teacher (oh, the irony of working at an institution I so fervently wished to escape several years ago). It's not so bad really: I get a decent pay and my workload is very manageable. But... everyday is the same old mundane routine-- I get up, drop off my mom at work, go back home and get ready for my job, go to my job, finish work, pick up my mom from work, and go home and eat/watch netflix/visit the library and borrow books&DVDs. Did I mention that it's summer? 
I really thought that this summer was going to be a the summer of a lifetime before I attend college. Haha. Reality check, Rachel. You need  money to have fun and you need a job to get money right? Right.

Thus, a job was taken and summer life was less exciting than expected. Of course, since my cousin is here visiting from Korea, our family took trips out of town but during the weekdays when I work, it's impossible to have fun (my work takes up a huge chunk out of the day 11AM-4PM)

Anyway, I did this incredibly fast and easy DIY to make myself feel better and to share with you guys.

Here goes!

You need:

- a pair of sunglasses (in this case I chose a simple rounded pair my grandma sent from Korea)

- a hot glue gun with glue of course 

- some pretty flower beads with flat backs (I got mine off of Ebay; it's not listed anymore but click here to see similar ones)

- that's it!

How to:

1. Plug in hot glue gun and let it warm up

2. Once it's ready place a small dot near the bridge of your sunglasses wear your nose would be.

3. Quickly place your bead and hold for about 4 seconds

4. Continue Steps 2-3 until satisfied 

5. Do Steps 2-4 for the other side

6. And voila! 

This literally takes about 5 minutes. Told ya it was the easiest DIY ever.

Good luck,

Rachel

DIY HOLIDAY DECORATIONS

Unconventional, yet very aesthetic Christmas Tree

Feathers dipped in gold glitter add the finishing touch

Paper snowflakes make an easy decoration

Let your reflection glow...literally

Lights around you bed emit warm feelings

To celebrate my first blog post, I wanted to showcase some photos of easy and simple DIY's that can instantly brighten up the holiday season. The first two photos are from the Free People Blog (you can search key words or search through the DIY tab). Paper snowflakes are also another easy, fun way to decorate! All you need is some white printer paper, scissors and a good cutting hand. Christmas lights are also another simple and delicate tool to further put on that holiday spirit. Wrap lights around your bed post, window panes, or mirror to get a season long glow.

Season's Greeting!
