One way to use empty old frames

My mom gave me this large gold frame she bought a while back from an estate sale, she's pretty much an estate sale expert, I'll touch on that later and the neat finds you can get from them. Anyway if you are like me you collect old frames because you can use them for tons of craft projects. I have a bunch of leftover fabric, so I used a chevron remnant from our wedding. Which now that I think of it is way more sentimental than even intended, haha. Bonus! 

You'll need a light duty stapler to staple the fabric to the wood frame and and some acrylic paint to paint a letter of your choice! It was a fast and easy project to add a big impact to a wall. 

Happy crafting!

The importance of good eyebrows


Tip: to sharpen your eyebrows line concealer under your brow and blend!



Great eyebrows really complete your face. I don't think women realize what great eyebrows can do for their entire look. They should be maintained by either tweezing or waxing and if you want to change the color, your hairstylist can color them for you. Don't try to color them yourself, have a professional match them. I have been mostly brunette the past couple of years and since my eyebrows are blonde, I color them to match my base color. Otherwise they would disappear. For daily maintenance I love to fill them in with a matte shadow or eyebrow pencil.

Jessica Lowndes has a pretty soft angled eyebrow




Here's some of my favorite eyebrow products!

Thin eyebrows are out, thicken your eyebrows up and fill them in! :)
