One person's trash is another's treasure

It's a saying everyone has heard "One man's trash is another man's treasure", and it couldn't be more true!! In this case, I used my own trash and transformed it into something I would actually use, and like to see in my room. A dirty old white picture frame transformed into.....

**Materials Needed**

((Scissors, Scotch Tape, Paint, Paint Brush, Frame))

Step 1: Paint frame desired color. Mine was white, but super old and dirty so I painted it a solid black. 

Step 2: Cut small strips of scotch tape and place sporadically in any desired location. ((Make sure your frame is completely dry, or else the tape will rip off the paint when you pull it off))

Step 3: Paint any color over the scotch taped area *I chose gold*

Step 4: Let it dry completely and peel off the scotch tape and you will be left with the frame in the first picture! Probably one of the easiest frames i've made. It's also perfect for small holiday gifts :)

Until next time

Cheers to the Weekend....

If I could be anywhere in the world this weekend, I would be here....

Starfish Beach in the Grand Cayman Islands. 

One of the most beautiful places in the world to me...I will take a picture like this of my own someday!

Buuuuut since that's not going to be happening this weekend, i'll settle for the next best thing. 

A delicious cocktail in my hand and the 80 degree October weather of beautiful So Cal. 

Kiki Beach Sangria:

 

 *A Bottle of White Wine

* Sliced up peaches, mangos, apples and oranges

* A "splash" of Cherry 7-Up

+Mix it all in a pitcher and let it sit for a few hours in the fridge (so the wine can soak up the flavors of the fruit)

+ Don't forget your drink umbrella's so you can feel like you're on VACATION <3

Cheers to the Weekend

Until Next Time, XO

"The Code"

I'm not much of a reader, in fact, it is INCREDIBLY hard for me to finish a book. Recently, one of my favorite bloggers, GoldfishKiss, posted about a book she read and I decided to give it a try...

"The Code" is written by Shaun Tomson, a world-champion surfer and is based on 12 statements, all beginning with the words... "I WILL". This book will make you rethink things, will motivate you to keep working toward any goal, and will inspire you.  From small mistakes turning into great accomplishments, to hardships preparing you for something better, this book is a true "Code" and brings to life the fact that no one will succeed if they don't preservere.


So next time you need a good beach read, or just some life inspiration, this book is the perfect choice.

((I WILL DREAM))

((I WILL HAVE FAITH))

((I WILL NEVER GIVE UP))

Until next time,

XO
