{Get Crafty} Tassel Earrings (from Target Dollar Spot)

Sometimes inspiration hits when you're in the Target Dollar Spot.   I'm usually inspired to spend money there but this time I actually was inspired to make something.

It was there that I spotted these cute packs of tassels.  They looked like earrings to me--the trendy kind I've been coveting.  I love anything with a tassel or pom pom!  To make the earrings I needed two packs of the tassels and some earring wires.

 I found the earring wires at Joanne Fabrics and used a coupon so they were $1.15.  The tassel packs were $1 each.

 I used some pliers to open the hoop on the tassel and insert the earring wire, then closed it back up again.

This whole project took minutes and I was left with two pairs of earrings for less than $1.50 each (I have leftover earring wires for another project).

I've been getting lots of compliments on them too.  They are super light and I don't even feel them when I'm wearing them.

{Random} Happening Lately

Or should I say, happened awhile ago?  Here I go unloading my random photos from the last month or so.

 Going to breakfast at a favorite spot.  Look at that ceiling!  I was digging the mother/daughter stripes on the right too!

 Making roasted veggie enchiladas for dinner. They were a hit. Should I do a post on them?

 We really did not want this snow in March after being teased by spring-like temps but it sure was pretty.

 Someone left me a "gift" right next to the clementines, see the trashcan to right of the counter?  I had to text it to the alleged culprit.

 Making sushi during the snow days.

 So ready for it!

 Visiting a college in Philly and stopping for food at Hip City Veg, I can't resist their soy milkshakes!

 I love my yoga studio (and my fun yoga pants from Athleta--thanks Sissypoo!).

 Setting up for my second baby photo shoot! SECOND!

 His and hers nachos for dinner (right before going into the oven).  He's becoming a master nacho maker!

 Dinner at Cheesecake Factory is always a treat. I tried their avocado toast, of course it was the best ever!

 Trying to be artsy with my coffee bubbles.

 Finally getting to meet her new cousin.

Miss High School's art work at the Fine Arts Festival. I love her 'selfie'!  What have you been up to lately?

April's Daily Goodie Box

I was lucky enough to get another Daily Goodie Box this month and it was (again) full of fun and interesting new things to sample.

Now, let's dive into this month's goodies.

Peanut Butter & Co -  Mighty Nut Powdered Peanut Butter

https://ilovepeanutbutter.com/collections/powdered-peanut-butter

You've probably heard of and/or tried powdered peanut butter before but this offering from Peanut Butter & Co was new to me. I wasn't sure I'd like the vanilla flavor but I loved it. It's subtle and the peanut flavor is just right. I mixed it into my oatmeal one morning. Yum!

Bakery On Main - Bunches of Crunches

http://bakeryonmain.com/product-category/bunches-crunches/

This little packet of dark chocolate sea salt "grain-ola" was delicious.  It's loaded with superfoods like chia seeds and cacao and complimented with ancient grains like millet and amaranth.  Each serving provides 10g of whole grains!  You don't even realize it's so good for you because it's so tasty!


Slurpee - Slurpee Cotton Candy

http://www.slurpee.com/

Cherry Slurpee flavored cotton candy?!  Yep, that's a thing!! The container that it comes in just too cute!

EBOOST - Strawberry Kiwi Energy Powder

https://www.eboost.com/products/strawberry-kiwi-energy-powder?variant=24171222723

This is the newest flavor to their energy + vitamin power therapy line.  From their website..."one serving is all it takes to support your natural energy, a brighter mind and healthy metabolism." I need all of that!

Detox Water - Lychee and White Grape

https://www.detoxwater.com/

I've been wanting to try aloe vera water so it was a happy coincidence that there was some in this box. This one was Lychee and White Grape flavor..interesting. I like that it's not too sweet and only 15 calories a serving to replenish electrolytes, vitamin c and vitamin b's.  It's all natural and organic too.

DUDE Products - Quick Dude Shower Wipes

https://www.dudeproducts.com/collections/featured-products/products/quick-dude-shower-wipes-dispenser-pack-8ct?variant=22873157829

I don't quite know what to say about this product aimed at stinky, sweaty dudes but I think the shower wipes would work just as well on the ladies!  

#MPWR Skincare - Zip, Zap, Gone! Spot Treatment

http://mpwrskincare.com/zip-zap-gone-spot-treatment/

Zip, Zap, Gone! is such a fun name for an acne treating product.  I love that it's totally USDA certified organic and suitable for all skin types--even sensitive!  The little bottle has a roll on top for dabbing on anywhere you need to use it.  It's not tested on animals which is another plus for me!

Goddess Garden Organics - Everyday Natural Sunscreen

http://www.goddessgarden.com/product/everyday-natural-sunscreen-lotion/

I'm excited to give this product a go when I get out and enjoy the beautiful sunshine we've been having lately.  It's made with plant based ingredients and natural minerals and provides powerful broad spectrum sun protection.

Adamia - Therapeutic Repair Lotion

https://adamiaskin.com/

The secret to this product's healing properties is macadamia nut oil.  This aids in and speeds up the healing process and is especially effective on aging skin and skin tears.  I'm keeping my tube right by the sink to treat my hands throughout the day.

You can sign up to get your own Daily Goodie Box too, no credit card is ever required!
