DIY Fringe Scarf

Hey loves! Sorry its been awhile since I posted last! Have been very busy with my best friends baby shower this past weekend which was amazing :) I will share some pics of that soon and another DIY on diaper cakes!


So anyways, I found this awesome DIY Fringe scarf and ever since I made my first one I cant stop making them! Its so easy and looks amazing, ive already made one for me, my mom, and sister!

All you need is:
- A t-shirt or tank top
- Pair of sharp fabric scissors

                                                                    Step 1

                                                    

I used an old tank top from forever 21. You can use solid color or a print shirt for more of an intense look.


Step 2

Using you scissors cut your shirt horizontally just under the armholes to make a rectangular tube.


Step 3


Start cutting vertical strips across the whole bottom half of the shirt. The longer you cut them, the longer the fringe will be. I went just under half of my shirt.

Step 4
(Final step!)


Final step is to tug down on all of the strings to make them longer. I also slightly tugged the whole shirt once I was done.

Finished!! Told you it was easy ;) 
Now you have your super cute new scarf to wear in less than 10 min! 
You will def be seeing me wear this is many of my up coming OOTD.





Enjoy your new scarf! IF you have any questions about this DIY just comment and let me know! Thanks dolls! XO!

Homemade Lip Scrub

 Since im new to wearing lipstick, I never noticed how chapped my lips are. So before I can wear my new favorite lippie its time for a scrub. There's no way I will pay $20 + for a lip scrub when I can make my own! This is a super easy scrub, luckily I already had all the ingredients at home.

Heres what you need:



1 tsp







In a small cup, heat 1tsp of natural honey in the microwave for 4-5 seconds

-Honey has healing and hydrating properties which will result in soft lips.









Stir in 1 tsp of healthy edible oil (olive oil, sweet almond oil, or sunflower oil)

-Oil will make a think protective barrier








Add 2 tsp of white sugar

-Creates a gentle exfoliant to remove dead skin










Add 1-2 drops of an essential oil such as peppermint, spearmint, lemon, or lime. I used a combo of peppermint and lemon.



Finished product! Put some on your finger and use a gentle circular motion

Wipe off with water or damp cotton ball then apply some lip balm. I used Carmex.








                                         Enjoy!! xoxo
