DIY Enamel Bobby Pins


When I first cut my bangs, bobby pins saved my life. I have that really annoying habit of thinking that "this time" bangs will look good on me and every time I end up hating them. I usually carry a handful of bobby pins in my purse just in case I need them. I thought wouldn't it be fun to have some fun colored bobbies rather than your usual boring black? After two coats of polish these were all done within a matter of minutes. I'm thinking I should try some pretty pastels for spring next. 


Supplies:
Bobby Pins
Nail Polish

Apply one coat, let dry, apply a second, & wear.
Really it's that simple.

A Sweet Idea: m&m Brownies


One day my co-worker happened to mention to me how her grandmother makes brownies with m&m minis. Since that day, I couldn't get them out of my head and I knew it would be the next thing I baked. I've had m&m cookies before, but brownies...never had I thought of combining the two.  DELICIOUS!! The key is to use the mini m&ms and to just sprinkle them on top rather than mixing them into the batter. Oh and I was making these for a party so I just put them in a cupcake pan that way everyone would already have the perfect size and I wouldn't have to worry about cleaning up a pan...win win.

I like to eat my brownies with ice cream...yum
