What I Love Wednesday 11.27.13

Hey everyone! Look who's actually doing her WILW on time! Let's get straight into it (I have a pie to make in less than 10 minutes!)

I swear that allrecipes.com has been my best friend since I have moved out on my own. It has taught me to make chicken, rice and more recently (like, tonight) a pie! There are several different recipes and ideas on it and I'm so excited to expand my cooking repertoire.

I have been pretty much in love with boot cuffs this season and am really trying to make a pair of my own. I found a pattern on ravelry but have somehow managed to go in a completely different direction once I got halfway in. I'll be sure to post the pattern once I finish at least one of them. ( these are from etsy!)

I kind of stumbled upon these while watching a Mortem3r video. She was talking about her wedding headpiece and I found the Etsy shop she got her antler fascinator from and these. I am obsessed with these. I would love to find some kind of mold or something so that I can make my own from clay. These would be a magnificent statement piece.

Long time penpal, RTA friend and Etsy buddy of mine, Karina has made these cute ornaments for the Christmas season. She's giving half of her earnings to the Animal Orphanage in Voorheese, NJ. Please visit her site and check out her other creative Ornaments for Animals and help out a furry friend this season!

I bought this red glitter nail polish by Sally Hansen on my last venture to Target in hopes of doing some sort of fantastical nail art with it, but my nails have all since broken due to hormonal changes (coughcough) and I'm sat here with stumps. I'll hopefully be painting them up like delicious winter candies once they get a bit longer and stronger! This particular color is called Red Carpet btw.

Product Review: Sally Hansen Wax Strips

Hiya friends. It's that special, rare time again when I review a beauty item that I use. As you all know, I never claim to be a beauty guru but I am a human girl and I do like to share items that I use, like, and frequently buy. Today I'd like to share my experience with the Sally Hansen Wax Strip Kit.

I'd first like to to say that I have never tried any of the waxing products by Sally Hansen and am usually impressed with their nail products so I thought I would give this a try. I sadly have to say that this product was a complete fail in my book.

The idea is that you have to warm up the strip with you hands, peel and apply then pull off to remove the strip and unwanted hair. While I did all of that when I went to remove my strip, the wax stayed on my body and was really hard to remove. Once painfully removed, my skin stayed red for a long while.

Since using, I have seen mixed reviews on the product. It does work for some people, just not for me. I sadly would not recommend this product to anyone.
