DIY: Bow tie

Recently, I have been obsessing with bow ties. I was inspired to do a couple ones based on DIYs that I have found online. I like that they are very easy to make. I followed "A Beautiful Mess'" bow tie tutorial and I successfully made four.

I made mine using my sewing machine- which I have recently revived from hibernating. If you happen to not know how to sew or if you do not have a sewing machine, you can always use a glue gun, but I recommend that you use a super glue or a fabric glue.

I challenge all of you to make your own bow ties because it's so easy to make! It's like you're eating a piece of cake... it's that easy! :D

So if you were able to make your own, it should look something like this:

Monday dose of inspiration

Happy Monday!
Another week has started and I'm hoping to be more productive than last week!

Anyway, here's a list of seven things you can accomplish for the next seven days-hoping that you'll get through this week excited and motivated.

1. Sexy pout

Wear a light foundation and a bold lipstick:
Definitely a vavoom-statement!

2. A challenge

Bored? Need some challenge?
Make your own Kimono Maxi!

3. Satisfy your cravings

Ditch the alcohol and indulge with this instead!

4. Reach for it!

True!

5. Laugh it off

I fell for that! hahahaha

Stunning: the limbs of the goddess.

Finally,

7. Dine in royalty. 

Break out the fine china and enjoy a spontaneous fancy dinner
at home

DIY: Pearl Waist Wrap

Last weekend, my boyfriend, Ricky, invited me for a romantic dinner at G-town. I was inspired to be his "princess" for the night. I wanted to wear a tiara, but it had too much bling (really, I wanted to!). Instead of being a diva, I decided to play around with pearls since they seem more elegant and I knew it would look good with my flowy peach rose dress. 

I noticed that I had a few looks from everyone I passed by. 

I don't know if they approve, but who cares? 

Ricky thought I was beautiful :)

 So here's the materials as shown above:

- Glue gun (you can use a super glue too since they stick better! Careful though!)

- Ribbon 

- Pearls

- Measuring tape

- Scissors

Optional: 

- Needle

- Thread

***If you aren't in a hurry, it's better that you sew the pearls into the ribbon so it won't fall off. But if you don't know how to sew, it's better you use a very strong glue.***

Step 1: 

Measure your waist. 

Once you measured your waist, add 6 more inches to your ribbon or

depending on how long you want your ribbon to hang

after you wrap it around your waist.

Also, determine the center part of your ribbon where you'll 

mostly put your pearls.

Step 2:

Take the measurement of your waist and use it to measure 

your ribbon. 

Step 3:

Snip off the ends diagonally using your scissors. 

Then keep the ends from fraying by glueing the ends.

Step 4:

Glue your pearl.

Step 5:

Place your pearl on your ribbon.

Step 6:

Glue another pearl. 

You can design your ribbon however you like.

It doesn't have to be exactly like what I did, what matters is,

You know it'll look good because you will be wearing it! :D

I'm hoping that you enjoyed following my instructions or if not- and you have any questions, leave a comment below! I love reading people's reactions :)

**I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my boyfriend for being patient with me in taking pictures of my out-of- that- day we had our date ! I love you babes! You are theee best! <3" 

A blog is born!

Hello ! 

You are probably saying it out-loud or inside your mind: oh... this is another beauty blog. How boring.

As wonderful as that sounds, unfortunately, that is half-right. This blog is about beauty and all that is beautiful about dressing up and so forth, but it is not limited to that. I'd like to call it as a 'girly' blog because I'm definitely going to post pictures of my outfits, some makeup tutorials (or not), and my favorite: being crafty! 

So being said that this is in fact another girly blog, this is different! (I believe it is!) I am strictly in a budget. You wouldn't expect me to wear any high-end designer brands unless it was given to me (oh how I wish!). Also, I am not a fashion expert but I am a fashion lover! I don't stick to trendy outfits because I find that it's expensive to be a fashion mogul. 

As you read my posts along the way, I hope that I could inspire people and spread beauty - the fun way with a glue gun and lipstick, one step at a time.
