New Blog Schedule + Name My Wednesday Posts!

-

Happy 2015! I hope that you had a great New Year's Eve and Day and brought in 2015 right. I wanted to start by saying that you so much for supporting me in this blog! Since starting, I have had such a positive response from readers around the world.

I've also gotten tons of helpful suggestions, requests, and feedback from readers that have helped me grow tremendously. I am so grateful so THANK YOU! With this being said, I am doing some redecorating in my corner.

First off, I am ending regular Fashion Friday posts. While I love posting on fashion, I get the least traffic on my Friday posts so in the spirit of quality versus quantity, I am going down to a four day per week blog. I will leave all past Fashion Friday label up, on my home page as I may post seasonally.

The second change that I am making to my blog is my Tuesday topic. While Non-Fat Tuesday was started with the best of intentions, I am not a fitness guru by any means so I cannot continue to write on this subject. To replace Non-Fat Tuesday, I am excited to announce the launch of Trial Tuesday. For this day, I will be testing out products, hacks, etc. that I find on Pinterest and the internet. I already have my first trial ready so check the blog out on Tuesday!

The last change that I want to make to my blog is to include organization and cleaning tips to my blog on a consistent basis. I wanted to do this on Wednesdays but I cannot think of a clever name! Leave your comments below and help me name my Wednesday Organization label for my posts. I have a ton of projects ahead of me in 2015, so why not document them?

I have so many ideas for my posts in 2015 and I am so excited to share them with you! I also have another exciting change (announcement) in the works, so hopefully I will be able to share before the end of January.

2015 Schedule:
Makeup Monday
Trial Tuesday

    Name your organization and cleaning posts on Wednesday "White Tornado". You probably don't remember those commercials about Mr. Clean and the "white tornado" though. That was a cleaning product that worked so well one felt like a white tornado had been thru the house after you used it. (!) Ha ha! That's my two cents but you can throw them back at me, if you like.

      I will add your two cents to the coin jar. Thank you for the suggestion, Patty! I was suggested Wonder-Clean Wednesday today. Thoughts?

What you will need: Candle Jars (Square or Round) Candle Stick Holders Ribbon (optional) All materials for this project can be found at Dollar Tree in the candle isle. They are regularly found items so this project can easily be duplicated. Directions: 1. Remove all price stickers. These are glass and we are gluing them so you are going to want a clean surface.  2. Put hot glue around the rim of the candlestick holder.It will begin to dry pretty quickly so work fast, don't worry if the glue starts to drip. 3. Place square jar on the top of the candlestick holder while the glue is still hot. It will bond pretty quickly so make sure its straight! You also don't want it to look messy. Finished Product Lip Gloss Holder   4. Repeat. For a more unique look, try putting the candle jar on a slant when gluing. This will only work with the round type jars. You will get something that looks like this: 5. Add a

Trial Tuesday: Removing Printed Labels From Plastic

So if you have been following my blog. you know that I have really been getting more organized in 2015. One way that I continue to add new items to my home is to recycle the products that I use. Recently, I came across this Pin that I wanted to try out for baking ingredient storage: find this tutorial on www.hometalk.com Now while this idea is very clever I wasn't sure if I would use paint to redo the cans that I have. This got me thinking about another Pin that I saw on Pinterest about removing printed labels with nail polish remover. Found on www.2busybrunettes.com After I saw this Pin, I checked it out on YouTube and with thin plastic, it does work. With this in mind I wondered if I could remove the label from the Folgers Container. Which brings us to this weeks trial. TRIAL What You Will Need: Before: Directions: Fold a piece of paper towel and soak it in nail polish remover.  Place nail polish soaked paper towel on the label for 5 minutes.

Trial Tuesday: Removing Scratches From Wood

If you haven't figured it out by now, furniture is not made like it used to be. For this reason, when looking for wooden pieces I usually opt for the old, heavy wooden pieces over the plywood of today. So, when I look for furniture, it's typically at a thrift store or rummage sale. I take such pride in finding pieces and repurposing them. You can take something old and make it like new with a little effort. While repainting furniture can be fun, it is even better when you find a piece that just needs a good cleaning. So when I came across the Pin below, I was very curious to see if this technique worked. TRIAL What You Will Need 1/2 Cup Olive Oil 1/2 Cup Vinegar Wash Cloth Before Directions Mix vinegar and oil. Use a wash cloth to apply the mixture to your scratch. Repeat steps if necessary. After Results: FAIL Note that literally nothing happens. Now, while this scratch is pretty deep, isn't that the point? I did try thi
