Purse organization

So I came across this website for these cute little bags made for your purse called Purse Pod.

But for the price I said forget about it and thought, you know with all of these makeup bags that I get from Ipsy I should actually use them instead of tossing them all into a box. The reason why I don't use them for my makeup is because I have so much that I wear on a daily basis that these cute little bags from Ipsy just don't work. So I made my own version of a "purse pod" and the really awesome things is that I can change my "purse pod" every month when I get a new bag. So here is my version of a "purse pod".

Organizing and DIY project

So I recently got myself an actual desk, I got a really good deal on it too and I have been trying to organize my things using the cabinets and shelves but not having much luck findings things I want. I did buy a cute photo box at Michaels for $2 to store some of my paper in but it's just not enough. In the mean time though I did work on a couple projects that really helped to de-clutter some of my stuff.

First project I tackled was creating a receipt organizer so it wasn't all just sitting in a box. I went to Office Depot and found myself a small plain, clear expandable file which also included monthly tabs to put in there. It is a 12 pocket file so it was perfect! I didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on a cute little file folder so I just dressed up the clear one.

So here it is and you can see the monthly tabs.

DIY candle holder

So I came across this candle holder project on Pinterest and I just had to give it a try.

Here is where the original pin came from http://www.mariasself.com/2013/08/diy-dollar-store-craft-flower-bouquet.html

I was thankfully able to find the exact same candlestick and holder she used so that was a win win for me. There was another glass holder that I was thinking about getting but I may just go pick that one up at a later date seeing as they always have these in stock at Dollar Tree.

BTW I did try the gorilla glue and it would have worked if the candlestick was even but since it wasn't, there was gaps between the glass and I didn't feel comfortable leaving it at that so I used some hot glue and it came out wonderfully.

I don't know about you but I am so addicted to looking at all of the DIY projects on Pinterest.

So I got bored one day and really wanted to glitter something. I bought a few colors that I liked and decided to put some to use. Since I had a couple mason jars just laying around and a couple votive candle holders I thought why not glitter them? And so I did.

Here are my supplies

I am using Martha Stewart iridescent glitter in Jelly Bean, blueberry slush and sugar plum.
