Friday Fives

Expressing yourself can be accomplished in many ways. One of my favorite ways to stay unique is by sporting cute manis. Below are five of my favorite manicures (some I've tried and some I'm hoping to try). Have a great weekend!!!

I love this mani because it's so simple
but still makes a statement.
[Plus it's very simple to accomplish]

If you ever need mani inspiration check out The Beauty Department.
This is a multi layer mani [they have a gold leaf affect].

This is a mani that draws attention. I loveee it and can't wait to try it!

I love glitter [obviously] and these ombre beauties are ah-dorable.

                                     

I got inspiration for these nails after going fabric shopping one day.
I got so many compliments on them and they were easier than they look.

                                   

How To: Make a Room Come Alive

When you first move or redecorate your place might seem a little... I don't know, incomplete? Well that was the case with me anyway. Luckily, I have conjured a list of ways to make a room come alive.

This is the same concept as the mints.
By putting out nail polish and a magazine,
I make visitors feel welcomed.

The first thing I would do is put out mints or chocolate.
There's nothing more welcoming than this.
It shows the guests that they were expected.

Next, I would add life to boring walls.

To do this I would suggest hanging up art work.

As shown, I hung a pastel I did and surrounded it by some of my fashion sketches.

Another way to make guests
feel more welcomed is to set out books and flowers. In this case I used a Nook which contains lots of magazines and editorials. 

The BEST way to make guest feel at home
is by putting out furry blankets.
They have great ones at TJMaxx.
