Lets hear it for the boys...SPORTS

Hi Pinners!

This post, is for the BOYS. A fellow blogger of mine, A_Lying_Fisherman asked me a very good question on my previous post, Scarf Season!. He asked "I am curious if there are any dedicated to sportsmen or the likes there of?" Well to answer your question, YES! Pinterest has loads of sports boards to follow and plenty of posts to read and "repin." 

Every time you hit the refresh button on your screen, Pinterest always have something new to show you. When you search "sports news" in the search engine, all of the latest articles about athletes, game results, who's fired and who's being hired all show up. Huge sports-news websites, such as thepostgame.com, sports.yahoo.com and espn.com all use Pinterest to put up their latest articles. 

For example, I searched "NFL" since I'm a huge Giants fan and this Pin of the image below came up and I clicked on it and it lead me directly to NFL's website where from there I can read the articles how the Giants kicked San Francisco's ass on Sunday. I'm just saying.

Any thing you want,s Pinterest ha it. Its search engine is kind of like Google and Bing but instead of boring links, it has pictures related to whatever your searching for.

I love it and you will too :)

Scarf Season!

Hi Pinners!

Its Fall.

Just in case you didn't notice and live in a place that is always hot, like I do now. But I am from New York and in my honest opinion, the best season is Fall. Its beautiful. The leaves are changing and the breeze is nice in cool...but most importantly, its SCARF SEASON!!!!

I absolutely love scarfs. As I was pinning my way through Pinterest, all of these DYI Scarf post kept appearing. I felt like a kid in a candy shop. A certain picture that really stood out to me was the T-SHIRT SCARF!

It will take you about an hour from start to finish, but that's with bathroom breaks and eating a sandwich :) 

All you will need is a shirt & fabric scissors.

First off, take any t-shirt (well one you don't want to wear anymore) and lay it out nice and flat.

Okay, so once you laid out your shirt, cut the bottom hem off so it becomes a straight line. Some shirts are longer in the back than in the front, so just make it even. 

Next, cut 1 inch strips of the shirt all the way up to about the sleeves. It doesn't need to be perfect, its okay if its a little choppy.

I got 17 strips of my shirt, it doesn't matter if you get more or less. It only depends on how wide your strips are.

 

Now you need to tug the strips and try to make them all the same length. You don't need to be gentle, they are pretty hard to rip (even if your the hulk). Now I have 17 loops.

Because I had a shirt with seams, I wanted to hid them underneath the wrapping...you don't have too do this :)

Now gather up all of your loops except one. So with the 17th loop, cut it in half so it can be used as the wrapping one. I tucked the strip into the loops and then started wrapping tightly and very neatly to cover the seams. At the end of the wrapping, I did some kind of knot that I don't know what its called to tie it off. Get creative. Then I used the other half of the strip to do the other side.

And there ya go! Nice and simple, cute and unique! You can also cut up two different color shirts or maybe even shirts with patterns. Anything works and either way it looks great. Its okay if it isn't perfect...

Perfection is boring.

Needing a little...

....Pick Me Up

Hi Pinners,

Nobody is in a good mood everyday. Sometimes you can just wake up on the wrong side of the bed. Maybe you feel sick, or fat, or ugly or lazy and just bum status. Well when I feel like that... I look to Pinterest. 

Pinterest has a catergory on it called "Quotes" and when you click it...a whole bunch of pins show up. They can motivational quotes for fitness, for life, or to just make you die laughing. This is what your pinterest should look like: 

From there you can click on an image and read the post or you can save the image too. I follow certain boards so when I look at my feed I will always have some quotes up there. These are, in my opinion the TOP 5 boards to follow:

And when the days come when I need specific motivation in life, I follow these boards:

BUT sometimes, all it takes is a good laugh. There are so many funny quotes and images on pinterest when you search "funny quotes," but these are the TOP 5 boards I follow to get a good laugh in:

WHEN I FEEL LAZY, and thats like everyday, I read the fitness boards. They tell you that the time is now and that THERE IS NO TOMORROW. It's today. They make you feel pretty damn guilty for eating that doughnut too. 

So lastly, I'll show you my favorite quote that I found on Pinterest and leave ya with a SEE YA NEXT TIME.

Long Heel...Red Bottoms.

Hi Pinners!

Hello! This past week has been a busy and entertaining one for me. I went out to dance and just enjoyed the night life!! Oh how wonderful it is to be young. Well okay, so as I was out I heard one of my favorite songs to dance too. "Long Heel, Red Bottoms" by Trina. And of course earlier that day I saw something on Pinterest that I just had to tell you about. If any of you are on a college budget like me, you can not afford to buy heels besides the ones at Charlotte Russe, during happy hour, on Saturdays from 3-6pm. I'm just saying. 

 So I've posted 5 easy steps to creating your own Red Bottom heels, that will cost you probably nothing since I know you all probably have these materials at home.

Yes, I realized these heel bottoms aren't red, but you can do what ever color you want!

Before you begin:

•  Grab a pair of your favorite old heels that you never wear anymore because the bottoms look trashed. Than grab some Rubbing Alcohol, a Brush, Nail polish (white prime & whatever color you want), and Nail polish Remover.

• Prep your shoes by cleaning the soles with rubbing alcohol, this well help the color stick better.

• Prime your shoes with white nail-polish. You can use the nail polish brush, but I suggest getting one a little bit bigger so it goes faster. Once you paint the sole of each shoe, let them dry (about 10 minutes).

• Clean your brush between colors using nail polish remover, and start painting the soles the color of your choice. You will probably need two coats, but be sure to let the first coat dry before starting on your second coat.

•  Let dry for about thirty minutes, just to be safe & you’re done!

 

 

And there you have it! Your favorite pair of gorgeous heels are back in action! Also I left a link below for anyone who wants to continue making their old heels into prime time runway status. The first link is to Pinterest and the second is a link to A pair - and - A spare blog. She posts all of these cute ideas to do with your heels. My favorite is the spiked heel look. So check her out!
