Weekly Inspiration - 01.03.14

This week I …

• Finally tackled a fun DIY project with this little sparkly ampersand.  When in doubt, add sequins!

• Truth be told, my original goal was to make my own sparkly steppers, but when that plan folded (aka I got too impatient), I pulled the trigger on these bad boys instead.  Start a new DIY and scoop up the real deal on mega sale?  Winners all around.

• Rang in the new year with some fabulous friends in this feathery number.  Of course, that was followed by a not-so-fabulous New Year’s Day in bed … until 6:00 PM.

• Was obviously too hungover to write out my New Year’s Resolutions on Wednesday, but I read about Jess of Here & Now’s 2013 Shopping Budget and felt inspired to commit to my own monthly budget for all of 2014.  More on that to follow!

• Promised I would step up my home decor game and have my eye on this python accent table.  Isn’t he handsome?

• Made the leap into cleaner beauty products, with the help of my green beauty guru, Brenda.  My organic arsenal now includes manuka honey, a clay mask, honey almond hand cream and a citrusy facial cleaner.  Can’t wait to test it all out and share the results with you!

Happy weekend friends!
