If you live in a studio apartment and celebrate Christmas, getting a tree is (usually) out of the question. This is especially true if you’re like me and have put every inch of your place to good use. It’s like… Do I want to have a bed to sleep on, or do I want to …
The holidays are a dream come true for anyone who loves crafts, recipes, or all of the above. I mean, it gives you the perfect excuse to make all the things. (Homemade gifts, anyone?) And while I’m more of a Halloween-and-autumn kind of gal, I can’t resist a fun winter holiday DIY. Extra points if it’s exceptionally …
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.

No matter the shade of your green thumb, air plants are always a win. Aside from the fact that they are ridiculously easy to care for, they don’t need any soil. This means they can hang out on (almost) anything and everything, which is great news for us crafty folks. For example, do you eat …
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 …
Embroidery is having a serious moment right now, and I’m all about it. If you follow me on Instagram (@kirsten_nunez), this will come as no surprise. Stitching paper is one of my favorite ways to create altered art, especially if it involves super old vintage photos and functional items like notebooks. So when DMC Embroidery …
