DIY: Dip Dye Hair using Kool-Aid
on August 24, 2012I want to make it clear right up front that I am NOT a professional hair stylist/colorist. This is the process my daughter and I used to dip dye her brown hair.

Easy Halloween Zombie Make-up Tutorial
on October 28, 2011If you haven't guessed already, I'm NOT one of those moms that minds a scary Halloween costume. Truth be told, I'm not a huge fan of Halloween in general and I really don't like 'commercial' costumes at all. I'd rather have a homemade zombie over a Disney princess any day. I don't encourage gory, but [...]
