Hello DIY-ers! It’s been a while since I’ve updated this blog, but I want to get back into it for 2015! I have a lot of projects and recipes planned that I would love to continue sharing with you all. In the meantime, I want to share some of my favorite blogs I’ve stumbled across recently! Check them out after the Jump!
How-To: Recipes | Simple Sugar Cookies
Cookies around the holidays are a fun thing to bake, eat, and share. I was craving some sugar cookies tonight and decided to search the web for an easy and fast recipe, as some require refrigeration and many many steps. I found a great one, and now I shall share it with you. Read on to see how!
How-To: Crafts | Stitch Up a Tear Stylishly
I was devastated to notice after I bought a brand new pair of pants, that upon removal of the tag from the waistline, a small hole and been torn where the plastic had secured the tag through the jeans. I had only spent $17 on the pants, and I didn’t feel like driving all the way back to the mall. I decided to stitch it up myself, but in a cooler way than how my mom would’ve done it. (Sorry, Mom!) Read on to see how I did it.
How-To: Crafts | DIY Knife Block- College Boy Style
In my quest to bring you super cheap DIY, I have discovered this beauty. If there is two things college boys like (at least the ones I know?) it’s sharp knives, and girls (hence where the Franzia came from, surely you didn’t think the boys were sippin’ it?) THUS, I present to you, “make your own knife block out of an old wine box”, brought to you by my boyfriend and his housemates. Incase the picture isn’t self-explanatory, read on for the how-to.
How-To: Recipes | Ramen Without the Taste of Poverty
As my last update post suggests, I have become even more poor now that I quit than I thought I was before with my minimum wage job. Attempting to not spend any money, but too lazy to walk the half mile uphill in the cold and darkness ALONE to the dining hall, tonight I resigned myself to making Ramen. Remembering a post I had read online once (I’ll try to post it) I decided to add an extra ingredient.
How-To: Recipe | Make the Most of the Dining Hall
One of the greatest parts of living on campus is that you have the option of not cooking for yourself! My school offers with any meal plan the option to swipe into either the dining hall for buffet style dining, or takeout where you select the option for the day and eat it elsewhere. Each has their pros and cons, but I have a tip for making each a little more appealing. Read on to see how!
How-To: Recipes | Infused Water
Recipes for making your bland waters more appealing, but just as healthy! Staying hydrated should be important to you if you spend your day running from class to meetings to work, and so on. Water may sound like a boring option, but it doesn’t have to be! Read on for the recipes
How-To: Recipes | Guest Blogger Style
This post is written by my classmate Hirsh G. Even though our two blogs are crazy different, we did our best to “guest write” for each other! Here’s what he has to offer college students in the kitchen-
How-To: Crafting | Basics, Or Are They?
My blog seems to be suffering content wise heavily based on two factors: 1) my latin midterm; aka no time to craft and 2) I can’t find good fabric in this area. I plan to do a super simple circle skirt tutorial, as I need to make one for my Halloween costume. Will I ever find a royal blue knit in time for Halloween? Stay tuned! In the meantime, read on for a short post about how to make your basics a little less “basic” and a lot more fun!
How-To: Crafting | Wake Up Your Walls Part 2
Hey Readers! This is going to be a part 2 of a post series I started a few days back. Last time I showed you guys some easy tips on how I chose to decorate my dorm walls relatively inexpensively. I’m going to show you a few more ideas based off my roommate’s walls! She ordered a few wall hangings only a few weeks ago, so they’re not up on the wall yet. But when they are, they are going to look great! (Read more to see the pics)
