DIY Marble Easter Eggs
Step 1. Fill plastic container 3/4 full with room temperature water. I used a 28 oz container.
*If the water is too cold the polish will sink. Add a few drops of nail polish. The more drops of polish, the darker and more covered the egg will get.
Step 2. Lightly stir with stick to make a marble look in water.
Step 3. Dip the egg under the water and swirl. Wear rubber gloves. I learned the hard way. I will spare you a picture of my fingers after dipping a dozen eggs in water/blue nail polish! You could also try using small tongs to remove eggs.
Step 4. Dry the eggs. We have chickens so we have plenty of extra egg cartons laying around.
You could use any color combo of nail polish. I love how the indigo turned out.

3 in 1 Scarf
Hey guys, I hope everyone has had a great Monday! I just want to share with you one of my favorite purchases EVER!!!!! This weekend one of my best friends and I took a road trip to Charlottesville to check out the new Madewell that opened in the shopping center area on Barracks Rd. I have always been a fan of any type of scarf, but I always get super hot in really thick scarves when I come indoors, so I thought I would try a thinner one. WOW WOW WOW I adore this little Madewell scarf. It was only $12.50 and you can wear it 3 different ways! The first way I enjoy using this scarf is on my tan purse. It gives my plain tan bag a little pop of color. The 2nd way I enjoy wearing this scarf is around my wrist. This is just a cute way to add a little pop of color to the outfit. Lastly, and my favorite way to use this scarf is around my neck. Since it is red I love to put it with denim. I love this little scarf and really wanted to share with you guys all the ways you can use it as a accessory. I would totally recommend this product.

Back to school
This back to school outfit is one of my favorites. I absolutely adore this mustard color H&M dress, which was also only $20. I am "that girl" who wears heels on a regular occasion, so when I shop for heels I try and find the most comfortable ones. These Lucky brand heels are perfect for school, work, and just a day out on the town. I can wear these all day and they don't hurt!!!!!!!!!! These heels aren't very high, but it still gives the outfit that classy look you strive for. Shop H&M for this exact look.

How to dry flowers 101
I have always struggled with drying flowers, until now! I
have finally figured out the trick. I have tried all of the old wise tales, and
none of them work. The best way to dry hydrangeas and to get the look you’re
hoping for is to hope for the best (seriously). Hydrangeas need to be cut at a
certain time. If you cut them to early they will be too moist to dry out. Once
the flowers start turning a little bit darker than their natural color, which is
when it is time for you to cut them. Step 1: Wait until the flower is darker than
its original color. Step 2: Cut 12-18 inches from the flower. Step 3: Put
flowers into a half watered container. (Once the water is evaporated within
10-30 days your flowers should be dried out).
Enjoy your garden as much as I do, xoxo

What will you grow this year?
What will you grow this year?
Gardening season is just around the
corner, and it’s time to start planning for that 2016 garden. For gardener’s there’s
at least one question that’s always fun to ponder: What crops should I plant
this year? If I only had one choice of what to plant I would pick lettuce
because it is easy to grow, takes up little space, and allows for long, continuous
harvests. If you’re not convinced with lettuce, it’s time to give this veggie
another look, considering they are one of the prettiest vegetables to grow.
Another thing I enjoy to grow are
homegrown strawberries. Homegrown strawberries truly are ripe, and tender. You’ll
never get true strawberry flavor unless you find local berries. This is one of
the easiest fruits to grow. As some of you might know, when you plant strawberries
they wont produce until a year after you plant them, but once they start
growing they never stop. These beautiful plants don’t require much attention. Why
not plant some in your own garden? I hope you’ll dig in this spring and plant
some favorite fruits and vegetables, and also try a few new ones. Whatever you
grow this year, I wish you a happy gardening season and a bountiful harvest.
