Why yes...I did just teach you how to fold a fitted sheet.

MAN OH MAN....I've been on this earth for 20 years now and just figured this out!


1. Fold the sheet hamburger style,  take the two corners and tuck one inside the other
2. Fold one more time to make smaller "hamburger" take the other corner and do the same

3. Lay the sheet flat, and straighten it and fold the two edges in, folding the edge with elastic in first, so all elastic is hidden

4. Fold the strip into a smaller rectangle.

5. Continue folding until rectangle is the size you want.

Summer fiesta nails!

  •  You'll need your favorite nail polish, I used mint green by Sally Hansen
  • A top coat, I used OPI
  • A paint brush (dollar tree 5 for $1)
  • Glitter (joanns 8 pack on sale for 97 cents)
  • Zip lock bag...or a paper towel

  1.  Paint two coats of your favorite color, let dry
 2. On a zip-lock bag dab your clear coat on it and pour some glitter next it
3. Take your paint brush and dab it in the clear coat and then in the glitter...and apply to your nails.
4. Work from the top down with more at top
 5. Enjoy!

No-sew tank top!

So as a poor college kid who loves clothes I've gotten a little creative... Here is how to make a smile no-sew tank out of a XL adult t-shirt.

Supplies:
  • Sissors
  • XL Adult T-shit (I got mine from the Dollar Tree for... $1!)
 Step one cut off sleeves
 Step two cut off the neck hole
 Step Three flip shirt to the side
 Step Four from the neck hole you cut off, cut off a strip of fabric
 Step Five tie strips ends to each corner on one front side
Step Six flip over and cut them longer if you are smaller and shorter if you are bigger. Then tie the strips together so it fits snug on your body.

 The end!

Also fun idea for people with kids with a little swimming pool or in the bathtub as an indoor pool ;) take small plastic bowls and fill with water and crayola color drops to color the water...let freeze.... then but them in the pool or indoor pool for an even sweeter cool down! :)

Shatter vs. Crackle!

So I tested out both Sally Hansen Crackle nail polish and OPI Shatter nail polish...these were my results!

OPI Shatter
It didn't work the best... it didn't really shatter at all...and I had to redo it to even get it to look like this..if you put even a little too much it doesn't work...Do a thin coat... But it didn't chip as fast as Sally!

 I tried a different color and this time on my toes....It worked a lot better... REMEMBER THIN coat!
 Sally Hansen Crackle
It just seemed to work... I didn't have to worry about a thin or thick coat. It did chip slightly faster though.

Now you decide! I want you to go test them both and take some pictures and send them to me! It could have just been the way I was doing it!! So go shopping and paint your nails! Send the pictures to my  email!
