A Haircut For Any Length
Finally! A guide for getting through those "in-between" length months. I stumbled across this on Pinterest.com, I just wish I knew the original source!

Amazon: Smart Phones for a Penny Each! [expired]
Amazon Wireless has an incredible offer now until Cyber Monday. All phones from Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T are just a penny each! The Hubs and I just happened to be looking for new phones so we took advantage of the deal. I'm going for the DROID RAZR. :) My first smartphone!

Our Budget-Friendly Beach-Themed Bedroom
Our new mattress just came in this morning (good-bye, couch and air mattress!) so our new bedroom is finally starting to come together.
The comforter set we got on store credit at Bed Bath and Beyond and the vanity came on sale and 25% off from World Market. We painted the chest and dresser ourselves which saved us a ton of cash!
We're waiting on this Seagrass Headboard to come in from Pier One.
Hubby found and ordered this mirror and these side tables on Amazon for cheap. I think he did a good job! I can't wait until everything comes in!
My next project is to figure out a solution to store all this makeup in an organized fashion. Any suggestions? The drawers are only two inches tall and I have all my jewelry to think about as well.
Eventually, I'll want to get a nicer chair to go with the vanity; perhaps something made of seagrass to match the headboard? This Pennington Seagrass Side Chair by Howard Miller is cute but way too expensive for me!

Painting Wood Furniture
 |
| We found this wood dresser in great shape from a inexpensive second-hand shop. We also got a nice chest of drawers from an unpainted furniture store. |
 |
| We Used: Valspar Asthma & Allergy Friendly White Paint in Satin Valspar Maximum Adhesion Bonding Primer Denatured Alcohol Rags (to use with alcohol) Tarp to Protect Floors from Paint Fine Sand Paper 2" and 3" Paint Brushes Screw Driver (to remove hard-ware from furniture) |
 |
| Step One: For stained furniture: Use a rag and some denature alcohol to clean the surface; lightly sand the wood surface with fine sandpaper. (Some say you can use rubbing alcohol instead of denatured) For unpainted furniture, you can skip straight to step two. |
 |
| Step Two: Apply primer and let dry over night. (Most primers only need a couple hours to dry; however, the longer you let it sit, the better it will bond with your paint.) |
 |
| Step Three: Now the fun part! Apply your first & second coat of paint. (Check the can for drying time.) |
 |
| After drying, reassemble. And that's it! |

Baby Oil as Necklace Detangler
How clever: Rub a few drops of baby oil into each knot and work them gently free with a straight pin.
