DIY Manicure and Pedicures with the #Utilyze Nail Kit #HolidayGiftGuide #AmazonReview #Spon

I am a sucker for products that make life easier on me, and that saves me money in the long run.  I enjoy doing my own nails.  It mellows me out, and I feel like it is just like an DIY Art Project.  From all the pretty colors of polishes, and shaping the nail.  I don't want to pay someone $20, plus a tip for something I can do for myself in a few minutes.

I recently was sent the Utilyze Professional Manicure and Pedicure Set from a Seller off Amazon, and I am in Love with this kit.

It's a much better quality than the set I previously had that I bought from a Pharamcy.  My old set always wiggled the attachments out, and they never locked.  This new set turns, and locks, and even has a protective plastic guard to place over it.  It's extremely easy to use. I like that this Manicure, and Pedicure Kit comes with a zippered Storage Case to put everything back into, and I also like that the strength of the Grinder can be turned up, or down.  Which makes it very easy to shape the Nails, and be Gentle on the Cuticles.   The Grinders are Sapphire Tips, and the Buffer is really easy to use, and comfortable.

Includes 9 attachments with specific use to offer professional results. Shape, buff, file, and shine nails, remove excess cuticles, smooth corns and calluses.

I opted to do a Halloween Nail after doing my Toes, and Fingers.   I always grind, then Buff, then Clear Coat my nails.  Then do a Bold Color on top the Clear Coat.  I did Orange this Month, and added Green Pumpkin Face Smileys.

Super Easy Brain Cupcakes!

Fall is my favorite season.   Not only is the weather cooler, it is also time for fun, unique halloween treats! This is a kit my Buddy gave me.

It's a Brains Cupcake Kit! Tho, it came with its own cake mix, and icing I wanted to make it red.  I purchased Red Velvet cake mix, and whipped icing I dyed pink.  I also found some Strawberry Smuckers Decorate Plate Jam at Dollar Tree (19oz) that the moment I saw I blurted out "There's my blood!"

Even without the Red Jam I squirted overtop the cupcakes, it still looks like brains.  To make the brain design just follow these steps.  If you don't have an icing bag, just use a plastic sandwhich bag, squeeze to one side, and cute a small slit.

The kit was cool because of the Skull sleeves it came with.  You can either buy the kit, or other halloween themed sleeves, but if you have a printer you can create your own too.

As you can see I just don't half do it, I like to go all out with the Halloween cupcakes, haha.  The kit doesn't come with the Red Jam Decorate Gel.  It's always good in my experience to use icing, and cake mixes you already know you like when it comes to these kits.  

"Brains, it helps the pain go away!"

DIY Halloween Wreath for Under $8.00 @DollarTree #Halloween #DIY

Halloween is one of my favorite things about LIFE.  Next to saving money, and Creating things, of course.  I was going to my local Dollar Tree for a few things I needed, and I am always side tracked by the Seasonal items in the Front.  Like my List of Needs, becomes, oh, Mini Zombies, and Gargoyle for my Halloween Village?? Don't mind if I do.   I saw the prettiest Black, and Purple Roses in the Halloween Section on an End Cap.  I knew I wanted them, but I didn't just want them to be in a Vase.  I decided, I was going to make my own Wreath, using nothing but Dollar Tree Items.  

Black Rose Bouquet w/Bats

Purple Rose Bouquet w/Spiders

Spider Web Wall Hanging Decoration

Wooden Wreath

Black/White Wire Ribbon

Purple Mesh Ribbon

Ceramic Skull

First Step, that made this Easy, was I cut a long enough piece of the two tone Black/White See Through Wire Ribbon and Wrapped it in, and out the Wreath before Attaching the Back of the Spider Web.  Since the Ribbon is Mesh, it's better to make sure to do all the Glue on the back of the Wreath itself.

After that was Done, I then attached the Spider Web Wall Decoration to the Back of the Wreath too, it was fairly flat, and easy to attach to each other with the Hot Glue.

While waiting for that to dry enough to pick up again, I took apart the Roses. First by taking the Roses off the Stems (They Pull off easily.) Also I saved the Bats, and Spiders that came with the Fake flowers in the Bouquets.  

I made my bows before I lined up, and attached my Roses to the Wreath.  I made a big Purple Mesh Bow, and Hot glued one of the Bats I got from the Roses on it. 

Arranging the Flowers was fun,  I just hot Glued the plastic Flower/leaf part itself, and attached to the Wreath.

There is no wrong way to make a craft project like this.  Just do what you want with it, arrange your flowers, or bats, or spiders, or pumpkins, or whatever YOU want, the way YOU want it.  I had a lot of fun doing this DIY, and with the Left overs, I made a little Rose flower hat for the Ceramic Skull.

Yum Earth Fruit Snacks! 100% Daily Vitamins.

Just when I thought YumEarth had the best Mango Tango lolly, I have to add YumEarth Banana Fruit Snack on my top, favorite, ever, sweets.  What sets Yum Earth apart from the others, would be the natural, no preservatives, and 100% Daily Vitamins. They are full of flavor! It took everything in my being, and big beautiful chocolate sad eyes for me to share the fruit snacks with my 2 year old.  They are that good.

The new Fruit Snacks come in Banana, Cherry, Peach & Strawberry in assorted packs.  These would even be great for Organic Back to School Snacks, Halloween, and Holiday Parties approaching.  Just another reason to love YumEarth-- They are FatFree.

Yum Earth Organics Lollipops Review.

Trick Or Treat.. the only trick about these Lollipops are organic and full of mouth watering flavor! I am not even kidding, that YumEarth Organics Lollipops make my mouth water.  Not just mine, but my little one that is absolutely picky about everything else, will behave for a YumEarth Lollie (yes, I go there, lol.) My favorite is the Mango Tango, his is very very Cherry.  

Instead of giving out Chocolate for Halloween,  think about YumEarth Organics. Think about the 100% Daily Vitamin C, and the possibility of opening a childs, and parents eyes up to a better alternatives that are out there.  The sweet treat is still there, just organic!

You know it's good when they want one for each hand.
