**DIY Guest Post**

Right about now, I am either at a soccer game, or on my way to a soccer game. 

I can't wait to share pictures and the story of my miracle nephew :)

But for now, I want you to meet one of my awesome sponsors and see her DIY!

------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Hello! My name is mK and I blog over at From The Guest Room! I am thrilled to be guest posting for Meghan today! Over at my blog, I love to write about life, fashion, food, hospitality, faith and much much more! I hope you will stop by! One thing I love doing is finding a good deal, and even better then a good deal --- is paying zippo and making something cool out of another thing I might just throw away! 

I saw potential in a wine bottle I had a while back! I love the look of old bottles and I also love the look of yarn, so put 'em together and you've got this beautiful up-cycled vase! To start, you'll need to gather just a few things: yarn of your color choice. I used thick yarn in green because I have a lot of greens and yellows in my dinning room. You'll also need a paint brush, some Modge Podge, a glue gun and glue stick and of course, an empty, clean wine bottle. I reccomend a nice Riesling bottle because, well, it taste good while cleaning it out! Wink Wink!

After your bottle is clean, cover it in Modge Podge. You might want to do this in phases depending on how fast you can move because the glue tends to dry quickly. Next, you will need to glue one end of the yarn to the bottom edge of the bottle.

Begin wrapping the yarn tightly to the bottle. For best results, keep each layer close to the next! 

When you reach the top, glue the other end! Allow it to dry completely. Then, fill it with something pretty! I chose to add twigs to mine as I love the look of raw materials mixed with something pretty! I keep it in the center of my dinning room table along with a few other items for show! 

 

Enjoy! And, I hope you'll come introduce yourself over at my blog! I'd love it! ♥, mK

How cute is that?!

Go leave her some love on her blog and I'll be back soon with TONS of pictures from this weekend.

[And the past 2 weeks, don't judge!]

What's in your bag?

I know you just saw into my fridge, 

but it's almost 2am and this is as good as it gets.

Plus when I saw Heather was planning this link up I knew I had to join in :)

 

The Bag:

I got this purse a year or two ago at American Eagle.

LOVE it!!

(We have ugly sheets because the boyfriend spilled syrup on them....)

Front Pocket:

1. Shine it Forward Card via The Shine Project

2. My go-to face products! (Check out my review here)

3. Kiss my Face in Peach...No idea where I got it, but I want more! Do you use this? Where'd you get it!?

Inside:

1. Awesome Wallet I got in a gift swap!

2. Come on...I need some touch ups sometimes ;)

3. Cute little notebook I won in a giveaway! (I honestly don't remember who sent this, but I know they are from Australia and I have been dying to figure out who...do you know!?)

4. BEST.LOTION.EVER. Got it at T.J.Maxx...it's just a small thing. I need more!

5. Random Gum I found the other day. Win :)

6. Travel First Aid Kit...see below!

Travel First Aid:

1. GasX...never know when you might need it ;)

2. Random Band-Aids and Bio Freeze (including captain america and wolverine :D)

3. Uhh, sometime my ladyparts(or a friends) might need some attention too!

[Dustin totally got mad at me for including this one in the picture!]

4. Anti-Diarrhea pills Random green pills, and almost gone allergy pills.

Plus some hair ties, cough drops, and motrin.

Now you know how I roll...

but what's your bag look like?

Link up over here!

Peep Please!

Have you met Jes from Two Smuppies?

If you haven't, 

well....

Sucks to suck!

She is one of my bloggy favs, and lets be honest,

I wish my experience with flowsephina could be half as entertaining!

Joking! 

[Or not. But really...]

So without any more awkward text,

My Fridge.

Full Body Shot ;)

This whole shelf is usually dedicated to drink, but I spy some butter an yogurt hiding back there!

1. Our HUGE jug of ketchup...it even has a pump. I mean that's normal right?

2. Cran-Grape Juice. My addiction. I go through 2-5 GALLONS a week. I may have a problem :/

3. My puppy, aka Delilah, thinks she needs special food. This crap stinks!

1. This entire drawer is cheese. 4 bags, and 2 packs of slices. We like cheese!

2. Our obscene amount of lunch meat, we got 2 more containers today.

3. My mom and her girlfriend(the evil stepmother...forrealzz) only drink pop.

4. I made some apple crisp!

5. Boyfriend likes his BBQ rice...gross...looks like worms!

6. Random can of beer someone gave me for my mom to try. It's been there since New Years.

1. I like to keep desserts around so I keep my "chip" options open.

2. Baby Carrots...my current snack of choice.

3. Our drawer of random. That pie crust is from Thanksgiving. We don't eat cool whip. You get the gist? I wouldn't serve this stuff when you come visit, promise!

 

I think you can tell what most of this is!

1. Did I mention we like cheese?

2. Pear Butter! You know, like Apple Butter? (I haven't tried it, but I plan to force it on the boyfriend toast sometime in the near future, in case you care..)

3. Teriyaki Sauce. The Boy insisted we get it. Yuck!

 

Again, I think you get the gist of the majority of the fridge.

1. Taco Bell's Ranchero Sauce. The Boy nearly died when he saw it, thus why it is on the door of our fridge. (Barely used in case you were wondering)

2. Momma's Humira. Wanna hear a funny story? Before we moved we had dog vaccines, flu vaccines, and Humira in our fridge. You never know what you'll find living with a nurse ;)

I am super nosy, and loved going through everyone else's fridges ;)
Hope you enjoy mine!

Sorry for posting so late, you'll see another post I scheduled for this evening!
I'm going to be busy 90% of the weekend, so sorry if things get behind 'round here!

E.L.F. Cosmetics!

I have heard a lot of things about E.L.F. Cosmetics.

Or, Eyes.Lips.Face.

Both good and bad.

But for the price, I wanted to find out myself.

 Everything pictured about cost me $15 with a free shipping code.

And if you join their email list, they are constantly offering sales!

So here's what I got:

1. Mineral Foundation, this was not for me though, so no review on this one :(

2. Zit Zapper, at $1 each I knew it was something I had to buy for me and my soulie to test out!

3. Brightening Eyeliner in Black

4. Hypershine Lipgloss, don't remember the color (more on this later!)

5. Shine Eraser sheets!

6. Eyelash Curler

7. Matte Nailpolish Top Coat

 

Shine Eraser Sheets:

I have tried so many different brands, I have a super oily face!

And this brand isn't bad! I prefer the clean&clear ones, but I do like these more than Mary Kay!

My only complaint is they kinda rip/disintegrate the more oil they pick up.

But they did their job and that's what really matters!

B+

Eyelash Curler:

Uhh well, it's still in it's package. Sorry! I will have to post again on it once I try it!

But it did come with a replacement pad which was nice :)

 

Brightening Eyeliner:

First off, this stuff is as waterproof as it gets and it doesn't even say waterproof on it!

I'm not sure that it does any "brightening" of my eyes though...not sure what to expect anyways ;)

It goes on flawlessly, lasts all day, doesn't smudge, and it's only $1!

A+

Hypershine Lipgloss:

I am not a big lip gloss/lip stick kind of girl, I'm happy with my Soft Lips, but I am realllly wanting something with a little more color. So I figured I couldn't beat this!

I put it on, and hated it. HATED it. 

It smelled bad, it was sticky, not just at first, the whole 15 minutes I left it on.

It tasted bad(what? I used to love my tasty chapsticks :P)

And the brush part already lost bristles after one use!

It went straight in the trash.

I'm bummed too!

F

 

Zit Zapper:

After using this a couple times a day, for a few days, I noticed a HUGE improvement!

(I plan to do a whole post on what I use with my face, and how horrible I break out)

I tend to get this HUGE pimples on my chin/jaw line, usually one or two a month, no big deal right?

Wrong. 

They never go away! They are huge and gross and yuck!

Well after a day of using this(probably 3 times) it shrank to half it's size!

I was beyond happy with this product :)

A+

 

(first, you see that crumb in my bed? Yeah, toddlers and doritos aren't allowed in the bed anymore!)

Matte Nail Finisher:

I don't have a picture of my nails, because I am saving that for it's own post.

But at $2 a bottle this stuff is to die for!

It's almost instant, dries super fast, and it goes a LONG way.

It's funny, the same day I bought this I saw some at wal-mart and it was only $1.50, and I was thinking "Dang, cheaper and no shipping cost!?"

But it SUCKED!

So happy I got this :)

A+

Also am I the only one who "tests" nail polish out at the store? I feel like now that I shared that I'm gonna look like I steal things or something...Hmmm. 

I hope you don't see it that way! haha

Have you tried E.L.F. Cosmetics before?

What do you think?

Have any other cheap but nice quality makeup you use?

I'm on the lookout!
