DIY ~ Baking Gift Canisters

 
I saw these on Pinterest and thought they were the best idea EVER!!!
Then I was in my Brockville Mom's attic searching through all her craft supplies and I found the Pringles canisters I needed!!!
SCORE!!!!
  
These are soooooo handy dandy!
I never know how to wrap baked goods when I want to give them as gifts.
 
WHAT YOU NEED:
Pringles Chips Canisters
Scrapbooking paper
Glue gun
Bow/Ribbon
Double sided tape
scissors
 
 
Measure your scrapbooking paper and mark where you need to cut it.
 
Wrap your canister with double sided tape and peel off the backing.
 


Wrap the can with the paper and press it down smooth and firm.
 



Add a bow or ribbon to the top lid and voila!
Perfect for sending some love with cookies :)
 


I made a few of them and they are now for sale in my shop :)

Product Review ~ Arbonne Hair Conditioner

Remember when I did the Product Review on the Arbonne Hand Scrub here?
Well, today I am going to review the Hair Conditioner!
 
When I first started using it a few months ago I really didn't care for it.
It made my hair extremely static-y and the top got really greasy fast.

 
Then my friend Meg's toldme that with good quality shampoo's and conditioners you need to leave it on for less time and rise it out less!
Voila!
Now I LOVE IT!!!!
 
My hair is silky smooth and so straight and sleek!
 
 
It makes it flat iron so nice too!!!
 
I suggest you try it, along with Megs' lil' piece of advice of course!
 
Cheers,

This is quite possibly the easiest DIY you'll ever do.
I had this scrap suede fabric left over, but you could do it with felt, cord, leather, etc!
 
YOU WILL NEED:

measuring tape
scissors
 
 
First cut an eyeball or leaf shape that is 3 times the width of your wrist.
Make sure it is at least 4.5 inches wide.
 

 
Once cut, fold your piece in half.


Now tie it around your wrist.
Left over right and under, then right over left and under.
 

 
So awesome right?
