DIY: Hangy Thingy?

If it's not already obvious from the title...I have no idea what to call this DIY. Basically...I'm making this:



Here's how!
What you'll need:
Balloon(s), tacky glue, sponge brush, hairspray, and whatever twine or string you'd like to use!

 First step:
Blow up balloon and tie twine around knot.

Second step:
As best as you can, spread some Tacky glue over the surface of balloon. (This does not have to be perfect and the balloon does not have to be entirely covered- this is only so the twine has something to hold onto as you begin wrapping. Also, do this step as quickly as possible so the glue doesn't dry.)

Step three:
Begin wrapping twine around balloon randomly, stopping when you reach the point above.


Step four: 
Tie end around random section of twine, preferably near the top.

Here comes the messy part!
Step five:
Squeeze glue into hands and pat and rub glue over entire surface of balloon. (Don't worry, rub your hands together and the glue comes right off!)

Step six:

Spray balloon with hairspray to set everything in. 

Now wait a few hours for glue to dry. If after an hour or so, the twine doesn't feel as if it's hardening, you may want to do another coat of glue and hairspray. 

Finally, after it's dry, pop the balloon & pull it out. (Don't worry if the surrounding twine goes a little crazy, just put it back in place!) Cut an additional piece of twine and tie to the top to hang up your masterpiece!


Stay fabulous!

Top 5 Celebs I'd Like To Meet


1. Lady Gaga: Gaga is not only the reigning Queen of Pop (back down, Madonna, your time is SO over), but also just an incredibly rad person. There is such a sincerity to everything she does and you can tell she loves and appreciates her little monsters more than anything in the world. She not only talks the talk but walks the walk and strives for a new generation of love.

2. Jake Gyllenhaal: Jakey will always have a place in my heart. Ask anyone, I used to be a bit obsessed. But in actuality, Jake is wonderful actor and just oh-so-charming. I mean he cooks, plays guitar, and loves his mother. Can it get any better than that?! P.S. I know it's taken me a while, but I forgive you for dating Taylor Swift. P.P.S. You're sexy. 



3. Darren Criss: He is EVERYTHING.
4. Emma Watson: Like come on, she's freakin' Hermione. As a (crazed) Harry Potter fan, this choice is a no brainer. I love Emma; she is soooooooo beautiful, classy, and real. Not to mention an incredible actress and so so humble. Am I the only one who dreams of having tea with her and discussing our favorite lipsticks? Yeah? Oh okay.



This final celeb may be someone you've never heard of...

5. Jake Walden: Jake Walden is my favorite singer/songwriter in the history of the world ever. If you've never heard him, go listen. He is entirely independently built, with two albums out, Alive and Screaming and Same Something Different. He calls his fans Dreamers, which is just...I can't. He is such a...poetic light, so to speak. Listening to his music makes me want to get out and make something beautiful.

Who are YOUR Top 5?

Graduation Day Tattoos

My sister graduated today! YIPPEE! It was a wonderful excuse for our family and friends to get together and eat and take lots of pictures. My sister received several sheets of temporary tattoos as a joke because she's itching to get the real thing. Let's just say, they didn't last long. Almost everyone ended up leaving all tatted up!




It was nice to have the family together and to do something goofy like this! People need to relax and enjoy the silly things in life more often, wouldn't you say? 

Stay Goofy, Stay Fabulous

Outfit of the Day: Girls' Lunch!


I went to lunch with some of my girlfriends the other day & am taking the fabulous fashions I wore as an opportunity for an Outfit of the Day post! I wore this super cute polkadot dress (I have no idea where I purchased said dress, oops), with a jean jacket over top, my brown boots, and some gold, square earrings.



Up close of earrings! Fierce right? (From Charlotte Russe)

The girls! 

STAY FABULOUS LADIES!

AVPM

I'm spending my first day of summer break watching A Very Potter Musical! (My computer is my bestfriend, don't judge me.) But seriously, I just love AVPM; I've seen it a hundred times and still can't get enough. Maybe it's because I'm the biggest HP fan in the world or because I'm an even bigger Darren Criss fan (both probably true) but whatever it is, I just ADORE IT! If you're a Potterhead & you've never seen AVPM...First of all, shame on you, & second of all, YOU MUST.




YAY FOR STARKID (: 
 Here's a link to the YouTube page where you can watch the entire musical: AVPM


Stay fabulous, Potterheads

It's Back, Baby! Bold Brows.

One of my favorite trends is slowly coming back. The Bold Brow. Now, I'm a sucker for some good eyebrows, because believe it or not they can DRASTICALLY change your face. And for me, bigger is better. Dramatic eyebrows scream elegance and class, especially when paired with a bold lip and minimal eye makeup. Gone are the days when thinly sculpted eyebrows were the thing. Welcome back bold brows!

One of the most famous actresses of all time, Audrey Hepburn was rocking these brows all the way back in the 50s.

Renowned model Brooke Shields was known for her bold brows back in her prime during the 80s.

& finally, modern day actress Lily Collins, was one of the first to shamelessly sport these bushy brows during a time when everyone was plucking.

SHOOT gurl. I personally think these women look FABULOUS with the fuller brow. Am I right or am I right?!
Now, currently my eyebrows are struggling as I am in the process of growing them out so I can have BIG BEAUTIFUL BOLD BROWS TOO!

STAY FABULOUS
