And Hearts..

This is where the "and hearts" come into play. Food, yes you will always be my one true love, however there's always room for some DIY! The other day I managed to squeeze in time for a quick little project. Tinted major jars! This was probably my very first pin. I adore mason jars, and loved the idea of tinting the ones I already have instead of buying already made ones. Gives you bragging rights...Earlier in the day I had finally made a trip down to my local Lowe's to buy two brackets and a shelf. ( I thought this was the most genius idea until my mother informed me it's been around forever)
And of course I thought to myself, a perfect place for jars! This site was the easiest one I  found.


It actually turned out right the first time!

And just in case anyone wanted to see, here is also the finished shelf with the jars (which are in fact, not mason jars, but an artichoke, olive oil, and two baby food jars)

I put a tea light in one of the baby food jars:)
Also, the shelf gives me a space to put baby's super creepy Easter picture...that Easter bunny was straight out of Donnie Darko.


                                                        Sea Salt Texturizing Spray

Let me just start by saying how much I love salt spray for the hair. I have tried many brands, name brand and not so name brand, but I feel like this homemade one is the best. Being a licensed professional, I would probably be shamed for saying that, but hey, at least I'm honest! I have what I like to call "lazy waves". It definitely needs a little help. This salt spray gives me soft, beachy waves. Your results may vary, but this is the one that works best for my hair.

The original recipe, which can be found here calls for a water based pomade. I left this out as I did not have any, however, I don't think I would use it in there if I did have some. Pomade tends to be heavy, which might weigh down fine hair. Now, let's make some waves!


Ingredients:
1 tsp sea salt
1-2 tbsp leave in conditioner
1 tbsp coconut oil, melted
spray bottle ( I stock up on these at the dollar store)
hot water

Easy Peasy
Add first three ingredients into your spray bottle. Fill bottle 3/4 of the way with hot water. Shake vigorously until ingredients are incorporated. Just remember to shake every time before you use it just to prevent the salt from settling. I find it works better on damp, not soaking wet hair. Just spritz, scrunch and go! I will post before and after pictures once I finally put some makeup on...You would never know I'm in the fashion industry when I'm off work.

Happy Tuesday everybody!
