Making Glitter Pumpkins

So I found this awesome idea on HGTV. Instead of carving your pumpkins this year, try decorating them in glitter! SOOOO different and one of the cutest fall decorations that I've seen yet! I definitely recommend trying this I am in love. Try this with your kids or by yourself it's the cutest idea and luckily it's kid friendly which is super exciting!
So basically what you are going to need are pumpkins of any size; any color glitter you like; a spoon either plastic or metal; some spray adhesive; a small paintbrush; some brown craft paint; a roll of craft paper and some newspaper.
1.) Lay down your newspaper in your work area and then lay your brown craft paper down on top of it so that it basically holds your work area in place.
2.) If you have pumpkins of different colors go ahead and decide which pumpkins get which colors.
3.) Go ahead and spray the top and the middle of the pumpkin with your spray adhesive. ( If you don't want to spray the stem then try not to get any adhesive on the stem. You can use painters tape for this.)
4.) While the adhesive is still wet, take your spoon and sprinkle the glitter over the sticky surface of the pumpkin and allow that to dry.
5.)  Pick up the pumpkin and shake off any excess glitter that you don't want and put it back into it's container.
6.) Turn the pumpkin over and spray the bottom with the adhesive and cover it with glitter just like before.
7.) Paint the stem with the brown craft paint to make the glitter pop.
8.) And you're finished!

What a brilliant idea HGTV!!! This is awesome!!

Want Smooth Hair??.....Here's How!!

So everyone wants super smooth silky hair. You could go to the hair salon and spend hundreds of dollars a month on Keratin treatments and special shampoos and conditioners....or you can just use this awesome little mix to put on your hair and get smooth silky polished hair.

Steps:
1.)Mix together 1 teaspoon of Apple Cider Vinegar along with 1 teaspoon of Glycerin.
2.) Mix these ingredients together until they are smooth!
3.) Add into this mix a beaten egg.
4.) Mix these ingredients together REALLY well.
5.) Add in 2 Tablespoons of Cater Oil.
6.) When you apply the mask, apply it onto the entire length of your hair.
7.) Place on your head, a plastic cap and wrap your head up with a towel.
8.) Leave this mask on your hair for 2 hours.
9.) After the 2 hours are up, wash your hair using shampoo.
10.) This mask should be done 2 times a week for one month!
11.) After this 1 month, masks can be used just to maintain that smoothness in your hair so apply the mask one time every 2 weeks.

Crayon Craft

The Crayon Craft is literally one of the cutest crafts ever! ANYONE CAN DO THIS! This is an awesome idea for little girl's birthday parties or even for teenagers or adults. Literally anyone can do this!
STEPS:
1.) Box of Crayons it doesn't matter how many are in the box.
2.) Hairdryer
3.) Hot Glue
4.) Pencil and puffy paint (optional)
5.) Stensil (optional)
6.) Paint Canvas it doesn't matter what size it is.
First you want to hot glue the crayons onto the canvas. Once they dry completely take your hairdryer and turn it on high or low it doesn't matter and blow dry the crayons until they start to bleed. You want to kind of angle the hair dryer downwards so that the wax runs down the canvas. This is literally all you do!! Then if you'd like you can stensil your name or whatever you want to say onto the canvas and then puffy paint over it. You also need to put a towel or newspaper up under this whenever you are doing it because it WILL get kind of messy. Coolest idea ever!! ENJOY!!

Winter Crock Pot Desserts

So we all love desserts right?? Well one of the easiest and most popular desserts out there are the crock pot desserts especially the Rocky Road Crock pot Dessert. No one enjoys having to bake in the oven for hours on end. So this is an AWESOME finish to a dinner. This can be done on Christmas or New Years or just when you're feeling some chocolate cravings!
So for this decadent dessert you only need a few things to make this possible:
1.) Literally you need any type of cake mix that you like, it's clearly up to you. I prefer Betty Crocker.
2.) Then all you need is some instant pudding. Once again any kind that you prefer.
3.) Eggs. You estimate! :)
4.) Butter. Once again...you estimate! :)
5.) Sour Cream
5.) Milk
6.) Chocolate Chips and Marshmallows to go on top.
7.) Optional: Almonds crushed or whole!

You want to mix this up really well before you begin cooking. The dessert will need to cook about 3.5 hours so you can put it on right before you start cooking and it should be ready about the time everyone is finished eating their meal.
I hope you guys enjoy! This is absolutely delicious!!!

New Chicken Coop

We decided that our first little project to introduce you to us by is our new little chicken coop. We have always had chickens but haven't had any in a few years, and so we decided that we would get some more!! YAY!! So this is the beginning of our coop! We will update you on the progress along the way. Now we got the idea to make this a very plush and cute chicken coop and that is exactly what this will be! This is basically the framework of our project and we have the advantage of a contractor in the family so Dad (Mike) is doing this for us. We recently had a close family friend who is having severe problems with clotting throughout his body offer to give us his chickens because sadly he cannot be around them anymore. He's had 2 amputations on his legs and is about to have more on his arms. :( So this is why we are doing this. We will keep you posted and we hope you get some great ideas from this it's super cute and for small kids this is an awesome farm animal to get because they really are low maintenance!
