Next up::||:: TARTE REVIEW

Hello! Hopefully everyone is enjoying the New Year! I was blessed with lots of lovely gifts, but there was one in particular that I thought might deserve a review! The Tarte Starlet Makeup Vanity & Jewelry Box. It's amazing and even though I've only used it a few times so far I am in LOVE! I'll probably film the video this weekend, so I'll get it up as soon as possible! Take care! Love, Kimberly

DIY:: SOY Candles!

Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!


Sorry, I've been away...been busy with the holidays, but hopefully you've seen my latest video. I ended up making soy candles for a lot of friends and family as Christmas gifts. But, really they make great gifts for anytime of year.


As promised on my channel, I told you I would list what you would need here on my blog...so here's what you will need:


Soy Wax -- http://www.candlescience.com/wax/golden-brands-464-soy-wax This is a 10lb. bag and should be plenty to make fifteen candles. The wax at Hobby Lobby (which is what I used) is sold in 2 lb. packs for $9.99 each.


Candle Wicks -- http://shop.hobbylobby.com/store/item.aspx?ItemId=189975 Just get the ones already put together. They make some specifically for soy wax. If you can find those I think they’ll work better. I saw some at Michael’s. If not just get ones that are long enough for however tall your candle will be. If you get these, you’ll need two packs. ($2.69 each)


Candle Fragrance -- http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/crafty-candles-fragrance-liquid-405886/ They have this brand there, but also other stuff with the soap/lotion making supplies which is where I found the Love Spell scent ($5.99 But, the others are $2.99 each.) You can also find high quality fragrance oils online!


Craft Glue Dots -- http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/craft-glue-dots-804898/ You don’t have to get this. But, you need some way to secure the wick to the bottom of the container. So, this works pretty well. ($3.99)


Containers – Purchase them at the Dollar Tree it’s the cheapest you’ll find. $1/each for whatever shape you want.


Candle Dye - Can use either liquid dye or the concentrated dye blocks like I used. Which were about ($5.99 for four colors that you can use to make lots of different colors)


Hope this helps and I hope you enjoy making these! Let me know what you think! Love, Kimberly

Hello everyone,

I'm working on some great ideas for holiday gift giving...DIY inspired,of course..and I will try to get them up as quickly as possible! However, these next few days are going to be a little CrAzY because it's finals week at UF! *GO GATORS!* Almost done with my next to last semester, and it can't come soon enough.

Just wanted to let you know you're not forgotten and I have some great stuff coming your way! If you have any ideas or requests, please let me know here or on my channel.

Here is a photo of some newsprint nails I did a few days ago while taking a study break! Hope all is well in your lives. Stay positive :)
