Makeup For Hazel Eyes
I always used to wish that my eyes were full-on green, instead of the brown/green hazel, because so many people just say (and argue) that they’re brown. And while I like brown eyes, I always loved green eyes… so I love wearing makeup that emphasizes the green, especially. So yesterday, as I was browsing makeup looks, I came across one that reminded me I have some gorgeous plum shadow I never use, and… voila! This tutorial was born. I also wanted to do a look that leaves my freckles as exposed as possible, so I recently bought some BB cream, and it’s perfect for summer — it’s nice and sheer,…

Adventures in Nerdy Skirt Making: a sort-of DIY Marvel A-Line Skirt
So a little while ago, I made my husband a superhero blanket (which you can sort of see in these posts of Asa), and while I was at Joann’s I noticed they had several really awesome fabrics with Marvel or DC superheroes, Star Trek, or Star Wars printed all over them. (And also, Dr. Seuss.) I was sad at the time because they weren’t flannel, so I couldn’t use them for the blanket I made. But then I had a great idea: why not make nerdy clothes? So here we are. Originally I meant to have this be a DIY post, but um… I ran into a few slight problems,…

DIY Herb Planter
So my parents have a ton of these old fruit crates in their garage that they’re not really doing too much with, and last week I decided… I really want fresh herbs. What better way to grow them than in a cute little wooden garden? Making this was super, super easy. With a little help from google to make sure I knew what I was doing, I was able to scrounge up everything I needed from what we had at home (because I don’t have a car and I’m poor). So let’s go!You will need: a wooden box (they generally sell old milk crate/fruit crates for about $10, I think,…

How to: Authentic 1920’s Flapper Makeup
I have linked the exact products I used, or similar ones, throughout this blog post. If you click and purchase these, I get a commission, which helps keep up this blog! So thank you! Recently, I came across a video collaboration between a few youtubers who are doing a “makeup through the ages” project, where they all chose an era from which to do a makeup look, from the 1920’s to the 1990’s. And while I loved a few of them, there were some others that I wasn’t impressed by. So I decided… why not try myself? First up, we have the 1920’s, and this was one that really… I’m…

Makeup Tutorial: St. Patrick’s Day!
I don’t know why I don’t use colorful makeup on a more regular basis, but lately I have realized that, while I do tend to be a more natural-look kind of girl, bright eyeshadow looks are something I really enjoy wearing and creating! Plus, I’ve discovered that so long as there’s no super dark liner/black shadow, my husband likes these looks as well. I used to think he didn’t like crazy makeup. Turns out, he just doesn’t like super dark makeup.Which is fine by me. So today, since it’s St. Patrick’s day and I have no outfits to share, I thought I’d do a fun, bright green eyeshadow look! I…
