3 Ways to Soften Your Lips

Do you deal with dry, cracked lips? Well here are some tried methods (that have worked for me as well) that are sure to soften and moisturize your lips.

1. Take a dry toothbrush and in circle-like motions 

scrub your lips. If your lips are cracked, then add some deep 

treatment chap stick before doing this.

2.   Before going to be,  make sure your lips are  lathered up. 

Take your favorite lip balm /chap stick and apply more than usual over 

your lips. If your the skin around your lips are dry, then apply 

a little out there too.

3. This one is a no-brainer. Keep chap stick/lip balm with you at 
ALL times. If you don't wear a purse and don't have pockets in a certain
outfit, then just keep it in the car (you might want to put it under 
some shade so it doesn't melt. Always try to apply it after eating any citrus 
or salty foods. Especially chips.

I hope these three tips help you AND your dry lips! 

Until next time,

DIY Jewelry Display Part 3!

     Hey there girls! Today is the official beginning of the week, so I thought it would be great to have a project to look forward too during this week. As you all know, I have been doing a DIY Jewelry Display series. This last part is probably my favorite. Let's get started!!

What You'll Need~

A small cup (You don't want a cup that's big around, because that could tear your bracelets)

Your stretchy bracelets

Optional: You might want a cute little container or some small jewelry to put on top. I have a container that's perfect for this.

If you have any cups that are the same circumference at the top and the bottom, and they are small enough, you could buy a stand where it could be sideways like the picture above.

Directions~

Step 1-Go ahead and gather your cups and your bracelets. Start at the open part of the cup, set it down upside down to what it was made to stand on, and keep stacking bracelets. If you have smaller bracelets then do them at the bottom (most cups are bigger at the top, so that's why you would want to do smaller bracelets at the bottom). 

Step 2-Now you can add your topper if you have one. Cocktail rings and stud earrings are great for this part. 

Step 3-Now that you've completed your bracelet holder, go ahead and place it where you'd like. I put mine in the middle of my dresser. 

I hope you have all enjoyed this DIY Jewelry Display series! I know I have, because I got to experiment with them :) Another great DIY Jewelry display for your earrings and rings is by a youtube account named Anneorshine. For the link, go here. 

Until next time,

DIY Jewelry Display Part 2!

                                Hey there girls! I hope your week has been a great one!
I have been so excited about this new series of mine on DIY Jewelry Displays! Today I am posting the second part to the series. There will be one more part after this! So, here we go!

What You'll Need~
Tacks or Hooks (You can use really pretty and decorative hooks if you would like, but I didn't have any and I am trying to make this series a completely free one!)
Necklaces/Bracelets
An Open Space on Your Wall (I chose a little corner by my dresser that was plain)
Ruler

Directions~

Step 1-This is a really easy DIY, so it won't take long at all. First, you need to get a ruler and insert the tacks or hooks in if you want them a certain way. I chose to make mine a plain line, but I'm going to rearrange it soon!

Step 2-Now you want to take any necklaces or loose and thing bracelets and start hanging. I chose to do a bracelet and a necklace for each tack. (I did about six).


And then-BAM! Your done! This is a super easy way to show off you prettiest and most favorite necklaces but without spending as much money. Stay tuned for the third part of the series!!

Talk you all soon,

DIY Jewelry Display Part 1!

     Hey girls! So it's been awhile since I've posted, and I would like to apologize for that. I've been busy with school and brothers, which as you can tell, are a VERY busy mixture! 
     
     I've been wanting to start a series for awhile now, but didn't know what to do it on! Well wait no more, for I have found the PERFECT series!! I was in my room the other day and I had been wanting to buy a spinning earring holder, but I thought it was kind of expensive (If you have 30+ earrings, then I would suggest purchasing this). So, I figured out this inexpensive yet trendy DIY project! Let's get started!


What You'll Need~

1 plate of any kind. I chose glass for mine, but if that doesn't go with your room, then maybe try a pastel or neutral color.
Some Jewelry

Optional: I chose to wrap a strand of pearls around the bottom of my jewelry display, so if you have a long necklace that you can loop around that'd be great. It depends on your preference.


Directions~

Step 1- Go ahead and get your plate. I got mine from a glass sculpture that was coming apart so instead we reused the plates that were on there. If you have a flat bowl instead of a plate, then that would work fine. Just make sure that your jewelry won't slip, since it is a display.

Step 2- Now gather all of your favorite and prettiest smaller jewelry together. I chose some of my earrings, rings, fancy hair clips, and a pretty bracelet for mine. Go ahead and arrange them the way that you want. I liked scattering all of mine out evenly, since I was trying to cover the plate's base, but you can do whatever you like. 

Step 3- If you want to wrap your strand of jewelry around the bottom, go ahead and do that. I just double looped a pearl necklace for mine, since I was going for a more petite, shinier look.


Extra~
If you have just a couple of rings or earrings, then try getting a smaller plate (the bowls used to little dips for a party are great for this also). 



I hope you like your new jewelry display! I encourage you all to try this, because if you already have the plate or flat bowl, than this is a free DIY! I will be doing two more Jewelry Display DIY's soon, so keep watching!


Until next time,

~Pearl


P.S.
Since I still haven't been able to upload pictures, I had to get one off the internet. You can glue a little stand to yours if you would like, but I didn't.
