DIY | Cheap & Easy Wall Art!

Hello there, lovelies!
I've recently done some winter cleaning and discovered that the walls in my bedroom were looking bare! I saw this idea on Pinterest and I absolutely loved the look and simplicity. I bought the frame from Ikea and the paint is from Home Depot. I made the whole thing for under $15! It's a great way to fill up a naked-looking wall.


STEP 1:
Grab a colorful array of sample paint chips from your local hardware store and just cut them into triangles.
STEP 2:
Arrange them in a tessellation and place in any picture frame. Voila! You're finished.

I know this didn't require much explanation but you never know who might need it.
Take care,
x v

Review | LUSH BB Seaweed Face Mask

I've developed a recent fascination over the past couple weeks about these Lush Fresh Face Masks. Any Lush purchase of mine is made with much courage and I put a lot of thought into buying this. I've been wanting to try these for several weeks and I eventually decided to spend $7.61 and get the BB Seaweed Fresh Face Mask. I have quite sensitive skin, and the Lush lady recommended I get this. The seaweed is supposed to be a very gentle cleanser for all skin types, so you can't go wrong with this!

The product isn't smooth, when I applied the mask there were a lot of clumps but not in a bad way. I am actually for rustic and natural beauty products so it didn't bother me that much. Normally you let it sit on your face for 10-15 minutes but I like to savor my Lush products so I usually have to take mine off after 5. Just rinse off, and after apply toner and moisturize. I was delightfully surprised at how soft my skin was; I don't think I would notice much of a change because my skin is pretty smooth already but WOW ! I was impressed.
