How do you feel about chai tea? Personally, I love it. There is just something so cozy and comforting about the combination of zesty spices and flavors. And when the autumn season comes around, my obsession with chai tea basically doubles in size. This year, I knew I just had to make a chai-infused body …
Homemade beauty products are some of my favorite things to make. I mean, once upon a time, I was obsessed with makeup. Sephora and Ulta were my version of candy stores (after Michaels and Jo-Ann’s, of course). Yet, I never liked a full face, and I rarely used the products I owned! Thankfully, my makeup …
Over the past few years, I’ve significantly pared down my stash of toiletries. Seriously, I used to have so much that I never used. We can thank moving across country multiple times and many episodes of The Minimalists, one of my favorite podcasts. But if there is one thing I will never give up, it’s …
While I’m all about fall flavors like pumpkin and cinnamon, I can’t get enough of peppermint mocha, a wintry classic. I am obsessed with Coffee Mate’s Peppermint Mocha creamer (although I started making my own) and the drink is one of the very few things I don’t mind ordering from Starbucks. Plus, I love the way the coffee and chocolate …
Natural skincare is having a serious moment right now, and I’m all about it. Beauty products and DIY… it can’t get any better than that.

Pumpkin spice season is back, and naturally, the Internet is freaking out. Personally, I prefer homemade pumpkin spice-everything over the classic Starbucks PSL for the obvious reasons: real pumpkin, less sugar, and personalized to perfection. Apparently, that preference of mine has even transferred over to DIY beauty products. This pumpkin spice lip scrub is crazy addicting, …
If you follow me on Instagram (@kirsten_nunez), you might have noticed that my plant lady side is in full force. I just can’t seem to get enough! My latest project, for example, include a clay air plant holder. There’s also a metallic tattoo planter at MORE. And that’s only brushing the surface. When it came time …
My love for handmade extends far beyond fashion, decor, and food. We can’t forget about beauty products and toiletries! After all, these are things that many of us use on the daily. But when you make your own, you get to choose everything from the ingredients to the scents. It’s the best kind of practical …
Ombre and autumn. Two of my favorite things! This method uses a makeup sponge and a stamping method to create a gradient effect. Depending on the shades you use, you can go a lot of different ways with this. Check out how I made it below! What You’ll Need:2 or more polishes in …
It’s been a while since I last did a nail DIY, so here’s a new one! Depending on how you look at it, this design can be either strawberry or watermelon themed…I personally think of strawberries when I look at this, but you can easily change it up by replacing the pink with a red! …
