DIY Project-Spruce Up Old Treasures!

Have old items that you love the shape but not the color? Well, I have this DIY that I did on an older mirror that was still in good shape, just wanted a more modern color.. You can find lots of items through flea markets, Goodwill, etc and spruce them up with just a little spray paint!

All you need is the item you want to fix up, spray paint in your choice, gloves, newspaper (or something to cover areas you dont want painted, painters tape, and a mask for your face.

Here is my mirror before(prepped and ready for paint of course):
I didnt sand it because I bought the Krylon Paint that should be good for any surface and figured I really didnt have anything to lose but a few bucks for paint.



Here is the after, with a few coats of paint:







I used Krylon Special Purpose Metallics Spray paint in Bright Silver. I think it came out really well and love my new mirror! So, find something to brighten up and be daring! Spray paint comes in almost any color you can imagine and many different textures.. I would love to see your DIY projects also! Please share...

Love and Spray Paint!

Who doesnt love Free gifts right? Well, here is a nice one for all of you! Every month from January (which has past) until May 31st of 2011, on every Thursday you can bring your BBW card in to any Bath & Body Works store(while supplies last) to get your free gift(s). No Purchase necessary! I signed up for my card in December and thought I would share with everyone about this deal. Unfortunately, I missed out on January's free gift because I dont live close enough to one and I missed the days to get the free gift. I mailed my card off to my mom which lives closer to one and will be able to get my goodies every month for me when she gets hers! She got hers in the month of January and it was 1 full size hand soap, 1 travel size antibacterial hand sanitizer, and travel clip to go with it. Thats a $7 value! Every Month they change gifts so sign up for your card and start getting your goodies today! Gifts can vary by location, but are usually the same value. Unfortunately, I dont th

Are you "Supreme"??

Image
Just wanted to share with yall my Supreme "Kandee Johnson" inspired necklace that I have been waiting to purchase. This necklace was originally made for Kandee as a gift. Her necklace was made from the real original logo of a Cutlass Supreme car. These are a replica of that same necklace with all of the appropriate measurements. I finally awarded myself with one for doing so well in my first month of Scentsy. I received my necklace in the mail, in a box and when I opened it up it was so much prettier than I thought it would be. I knew it was going to be beautiful but it exceedes my expectations. It is made out of Rhodium but the Sterling Silver necklace is available for a bit more pricier for a limited time only, if it is still available to order. Missy with Pinky Loco is soo friendly and was very helpful through the order process which was short and sweet. I opened the box up and touched it for the first time and realized it is much sturdier than expected. Heav

Great Prices on NYX Cosmetics at WWW.PorkDaisy.com

First off, I would like to thank PorkDaisy.com for sending this review to me. This is a super generous amount of products to review. I was very impressed with the fast shipping and great packaging of their products. I will start with the HD primer. It came in nice packaging along with everything else and came out really easily. You do have to be careful with this one because a little goes a long way and it does pump a good bit out in one pump, so go easy on it. It glides on fast and smooth and gets your skin revved up and ready for your makeup. It comes in 1 universal color and the bottle is 1.16 oz (33g). The HD Foundation in HDF01 Nude.. This color matches my fair skin tone really well! I was quite surprised how porcelain it made my skin look. My skin was soft and smooth and did not look cakey. I have used Clinque foundation for years and the color is great but I always did find that it would cling to blemishes and dry spots more. This one did not. I dont know if the primer helpe
