I went to the dollar store for all the supplies. Flip flops, stretch knit headbands and hair ties and contact cement glue

This is seriously one of the easiest DIY’s I’ve done. Everything is from the dollar store but you could easily just use an old pair of flip flops and stretch knit fabric or an old t-shirt. These shoes are so comfy! I plan on making a lot! These coral ones match my bathing suit! You could make them fancy with different fabrics and embellishments. I was thinking of making some stretch lace ones! The possibilities are endless! 😃

All you do is cut off the plastic straps and you’re left with a flip flop with holes

1. cut the strips of stretch knit fabric or tshirt abs stretch around your foot and knot where it’s comfortable  around your foot.
2. push the strip for between the toes and tie a knot or wrap around the front with more fabric. Knot and pull through tucking the knot into the holes. I used a crochet hook but a pencil would work well.
3. cut another strip for across your foot. And tuck into the holes on each side and knot and tuck into the holes. You could add a bit of rubber cement or hot glue for extra strength.

This blog has mote detailed instructions if you need them

Happy crafting!!!

I can’t even tell you how long I’ve been looking forward to this blog post!! I have  jumped on the off the shoulder bandwagon the lyndeestyles way.😂 In other words, I’m just not willing to shell out $30 for a shirt that I can make for under $10!! And trust me, you don’t have to be a master seamstress to do it

Sorry I was too lazy to take pics as I made it but I will link full instructions from another blog. I honesty could’ve have explained it better or taken better pictures than she did!! The only thing is I think it’s a little short to be a dress but that’s just me. I think it’s a nice length to wear with shorts, capris or a skirt.

have to say I’m super thrilled with the results

Here’s what you’ll need

1. A size XL dress shirt. I bought mine second hand and I found some super nice quality ones for under $5.  I was tempted to swipe one of hubby’s but I’ll wait til he throws one in the donation pile.
2. elastic 3/4 inch is good. I got mine at the dollar store
3. sewing machine
4. scissors
5. ruler

As mentioned I will link the instructions below. The tips I would suggest. Measure carefully, my first attempt I cut it too far down. Next tip is to pin. It is a little tricky around the arms

It’s really a matter of cutting off the collar of the shirt in a straight line and sewing a casing around the edge and feeding the elastic through.

I plan on making more of these! I can’t wait! My next one is a pink pinstriped one!

Have fun and check out this link below for full instructions 😃

So I decided a few months ago that I was going to let myself go grey. After years of battling the mousy brown and trying to go blonder I found the fight with roots was a losing battle. I also had to contend with the brassy yellow blonde colour which I thought was rather unattractive.

So I started experimenting with the “blue” shampoos and products to tone down the brassy blonde. I decided the grey blonde look was what I liked.

It’s funny how popular “going grey” is even for teens and 20 somethings. I’m ok with joining the ranks, my hair has never been in better condition since I stopped colouring.

Favourite grey products!!

Along the way I’ve come across some great products available at beauty supply stores like Sally Beauty or Chatters. My shampoo I use is available at Walmart!

Loving the grey

There are lots of  “blue” shampoos out there but the Jhirmack Distinctions Silver plus shampoo and conditioner are my favourite. My hair feels soft and healthy.

The other products I use are available at Sally Beauty.  Roux /Fanciful makes a temporary rinse you can work into your hair after washing. They also have a mousse formula that I haven’t tried yet.  I use #42 Silver Lining but there are lots of shades to choose from depending on your own natural colour.

The last product I use is Shiny Silver Ultra hairspray.  It reduces brassiness which is the ultimate goal. I like the formula, not too stiff.

There are a lot of tutorials on YouTube suggesting you have to completely bleach out your hair to get a true grey.  I’m not sure I would go that far but each to his own,  I guess I’m fortunate that I can take advantage of old blonde highlights that I can tone down and my new roots that are growing in are grey!! I had a younger friend comment that she doesn’t get why I’d be happy about that! Lol! She’ll get it some day! ☺️

I’m quite happy with my new roots!! I think you should embrace yours too!
