DIY Pendant light

What a cool DIY Idea!!!!! Ping Pong Balls sprayed with spray paint! Found this idea on Poppytalk
"Spray balls in groups using a different color for each group (might be nice to do with an ombre effect too). They used 30 balls per group (6 rows) for a total of 180 balls for a 45 cm diameter shade. Drill a small hole with the needle into opposite ends of each ball. Using nylon thread make garlands knotting one end first then pulling thread through each ball from one hole to the other (like beading) filling up the string until all balls are used to the diameter size of your frame; tie the wire up against the last ball. Tie the garland of balls around the lampshade structure/base, repeat next garland, and so on and so on until the entire shade is covered. Hang from a pendant string light."  Wow!

Need to make these or have one of my friends make them!


According to the directions, you die the dough with food coloring, layer it and freeze it, then start assembling the little Pinatas with a center portion open for goodies!~ YUM-O!!!!!

It's a 10 review

Its a 10 plus Keratin: I've been using this every day for the past few months and I LOVE it. I have noticed it helps ALOT with humidity control during the 90% humidity days we've been having recently in Washington D.C. NastY!!!  I also found it at Costco (I know, I was SHOCKED too) and scooped two back up bottles up! I'm beyond Obsessed.

 It's a 10 does these 10 amazing things:

1) Provides keratin for straightening treatments

2) Improves styling & manageability

3) Great for all hair types

4) Replenishes lost protein

5) Protects and replenishes the natural keratin in hair

6) Provides protection against heat

7) Balances hydration in hair

8) Adds shine and helps detangle & defrizz

9) Fortifies hair structure

10) Seals cuticles for extra smooth hair

Back to basics for my skin!

When it comes to my skin, I have my fair share of breakouts and major Highs and Lows.

About two years ago, I was breaking out so bad that I finally went to see a dermatologist who recommended tons of different creams, pills and regimens to try, none of which worked for me until months later when we found my "magic combination" of creams! (After all, your face is what makes an impression on the world, and I was becoming self- conscious about it! Not good and TOTALLY not me!!!)

Fast forward to 2012-  I'm now 18 weeks pregnant and was breaking out horribly in my first trimester (and HATING IT) because I couldn't use any of the "harsh" creams that my doc had prescribed for my skin bc they would be unsafe for babers! NO!!!!!

Anywho- had to find a new safer regimen.....for those of you that suffer from acne/breakouts......here is my new "simple" non prescription routine. Hope this helps some of you! ( I realize this might look like allot, but hey, whatever it takes!!!!!) I've been loving my new found routine!

P.S.- if you don't trust me, check out the reviews on each of these products!

1) Estee Lauder advanced night repair ( to help skin turnover, and recovery)
2) Mario Badescu healing cream (heals zits FAST like NOBODY's business to prevent scarring)
3) Neutrogena Acne stress toner (usually every other day)
4) Kate Somerville anti bac clearing lotion (for day)
5) Dermalogica bedtime for breakouts cream (for night first, then Estee Lauder repair serum on top)
6) Clairsonic Mia (nightly with the sensitive skin brush)
