Simple St. Patrick’s Day Gift Ideas
stIt was my turn to host my Bunco group this month, and I wanted to share the St. Patrick's Day themed prizes I made up for the winners and losers (yes, the loser gets a prize in our group, which is the only reason I have ever won anything). I shared a sneak peek of these over on instagram yesterday, but here's a bit more detail. I was so happy with my little prizes, and I thought they could also be great little gifts for friends, teachers, neighbors, etc. - anyone who needs a little extra love this time of year. I picked up a couple of green nail polishes and tied on those adorable printable tags from Eighteen25. Man I love their prints. Seriously they have the cutest stuff. Next up, I have been really excited about bright, bold lip color lately, so I thought a few lip goodies ... [Read More]

15 St. Patrick’s Day Projects I’m Not Mad At
A couple of weeks ago I decided that I was absolutely not doing any St. Patrick's Day projects. Because didn't we just do Christmas and New Years and Valentine's Day? Honestly, I just didn't see any reason to anything big. BUT. Then I remembered something. I remembered that it is my turn to host my Bunco group in March just a few days before St. Patrick's Day (Side note: My little sister says that belonging to a Bunco group officially makes me old). And hosting Bunco means that I am going to have to come up with some fun treats and decorations, so I might as well make them St. Paddy's Day themed, amiright? Right. Aaaaaand, once I allowed myself to think about St. Patrick's Day projects for a second, I remembered that gold is a totally legit St. P's Day color, which meant I was ... [Read More]
