Seven Days Of Love
I was going on vacation and realized how much I'd miss my boyfriend, so I started thinking of ideas to remind him every day how much I loved and missed him. I wrote little notes in each little compartment and filled it with candy. For example on the last day I wrote "I get to see you tomorrow, can't wait to be in your arms xoxo" and on Monday on I wrote "Top Gear's on today, can't wait to watch it with you next week". This idea is really easy, and really gets the job done of showing you miss your significant other and love them. If a guy did this, I'm sure he'd get extra brownie points as well, because some (not all) guys typically don't think outside of the box on how to show affection to his woman. I put the pill box in a see through baggie with Angry Birds hand sanitizer, and all of his favorite candy. This idea is sure to impress anyone, and all you need is candy and a week pill box; I bought mine at a street fair for only a dollar and to top if off it was PINK!

Add Some Sparkle to Your Life
WARNING: GLITTER MAY BE FOUND EVERYWHERE
I have a glitter obsession, literally anything I can get my hands on I glitter. Some say it's a problem, however I feel like it can brighten up any dull day. With a little Mod Podge and whichever color glitter you choose you can glitter almost anything in no time. No more paying big bucks for those cute glittered phone cases or items, YOU CAN MAKE THEM YOURSELF! However there is one problem. You will find glitter everywhere. In your hair, on your floor, on your clothes, and even unmentionable places! Even if you're careful it gets everywhere.All you'll need is Mod Podge (I prefer the gloss-lustre), and some glitter!
Mod Podge can be found at most craft stores (I.e. Hobby Lobby) which means you can get it at a cheaper price that the typical $7.99! Hobby Lobby and Joanne Fabrics always seems to have those 40% off coupons which become a must have for those craft shopping hauls!
Here's what the finished product will look like!
Now about the Mod Podge! The Hobby Lobby coupon will look like this..
(Hint: Click Hobby Lobby)
This coupon only works if the item isn't on sale, however it usually isn't and if it is it's around 50% off! These coupons can be used all around the store and they ALWAYS HAVE THEM! Don't waste your money!
Here's the supplies I recommend..
The glossy Mod Podge works best with glitter, and I prefer the Glitter brand of glitter (that sounds funny). The pink glitter shown in the tube doesn't work as well, so I wouldn't recommend it! Get a brush you don't mind ruining as well, and a piece of card board to put down..we don't want glitter everywhere.
Finally The Instructions
First get the surface you want to glitterize.
Second make sure you have the surface ready, and put a layer of Mod Podge on it! You need to do this so the glitter can stick to the surface. If you just put the glitter on it and Mod Podge over it, it will look crappy!
Third after the glitter has had about twenty minutes to dry you can dip your brush into the Mod Podge and cover every nook and cranny that the glitter is located. It's okay if the Mod Podge made the item look white, it will dry to be clear and shiny and that glitter won't get all over!
Last I prefer doing a second coat after the first has dried just to play it safe and make sure I covered everything!
Congratulations now you can glitterize anything!
This one is sloppy, you can trim the edges because typically it won't be perfect with things like an outlet cover! This outlet cover has be glittered for two years and it looks brand new, even though the purple plug in part has been chipped the glitter is solid!
Until next time,
