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 …
A few days ago, I shared a gingerbread whiskey truffle recipe made with an old gingerbread house. I decided to keep it going… in a gingerbread pie crust. I mean, you’ll only need so much to make the truffles. There’s probably going to be a ton leftover. So why not take it up a notch and make a …
In the midst of the sparkle and shine of the holiday season, I couldn’t help but make one last festive project. And while NYE inspired this DIY, it could totally be used for any cocktail dinner or night out. Personally, I’d love to pair this rhinestone ankle set with jeans and low-cut boots. Comfort is …
I hate wasting food. Always have, always will. This holds true even for the sweets and not-so-great-for-you treats. (I’m looking at you, gingerbread houses.) And since we all know the holiday season is FULL of said treats… I couldn’t help but brainstorm a way to put a leftover gingerbread house to good use. After all, …
Year after year, the holiday season does an excellent job at creeping up on everyone. It seems to go from 0 to 100 in just a few days. This is probably why stores (and crafters) start rolling out the holiday projects well before Halloween. No one ever seems to be prepared. In celebration of the …
No Christmas tree of mine is safe from food ornaments. From DIY pie garlands to donut mirrors, I’m all about combining food and crafts. It gives me a chance to take a break from my usual style of edgier, darker crafts (skull ornaments, anyone?) for something a little more light-hearted. Interestingly enough, this reflects my personality so well: …
When it comes to gift giving, making your own greeting cards is perfect for using up leftover supplies and remnants. I like to think of it as a little scrapbook or collage. They’re especially excellent for those awkward pieces of paper or random embellishments. Most importantly, they are way cooler than anything you’ll find in the store. …
In 2010, this blog started out as a DIY fashion blog that channeled inspiration from designer items. As time went on, I began to share my love for everything DIY – not just fashion projects. Yet, I’m all for kicking it “old school” and replicating designer projects on the cheap. For my newest project at …
When you’re obsessed with non-traditional decor/projects/everything, the most unconventional elements make the best projects. And when you’re obsessed with Halloween, those little plastic skulls can come in handy all year round. So why not merge the two? These mini studded skull ornaments might be a bit much for some, but I adore them. And while I used turquoise …
As I sat down to share this project, I suddenly had a realization. All of my (rare) cutesy, quirky projects are related to food. Always. Can you blame a girl? Everything seems 10000x more awesome when there’s food involved. I like my projects like I like my puns… food related. Recently, I made these hilariously …
I’m all about edible gifts during the holidays. Maybe it’s the minimalist side of me that believes people don’t need meaningless stuff, stuff, and more stuff. And while I can totally back a DIY gift made with thought and care, an edible present can be enjoyed in more ways than one. Recently, I tried my …
