Find Rings You Love With The Orange County Jewelers

My husband and I had a hard time finding the right wedding rings for us.  Everywhere we went we just weren't finding rings that were just perfect for us.  All of the jewelers we were going to just didn't seem to care as much as we were hoping. We finally started talking to Orange County jewelers, and after we started talking to them we knew where we were going to get our wedding rings. They were so much help, and really seemed passionate about what they do. We found the most beautiful rings with their help and wonderful skills. I am more than happy with out choices. We have gotten so many compliments on our rings, which feels so great.

Take A Break With A Massage In Orange County

I am coming home from school today for Thanksgiving break, and I this break I am taking full advantage of relaxing.  Being at school is definitely very stressful, and I'm sure every college student will agree with me.  With this, I am going to go get a Massage in Orange County.  I have gotten a massage here before, and after I went once it made me want to come back as soon as I could. I got that taste of pampering, and now I want it all of the time.  I seriously have never felt so relaxed in my life.
 I am also an athlete at my school, so getting a massage is sometimes a must.  They really helped me feel a lot better and make me actually able to perform better.  They really know what they are doing rather than just being able to give a good massage. I really like that I can chose what kind of massage I can get because a massage can really help an injury sometimes.

Beautiful Orange County Jewelry

We went and looked at Orange County jewelry for a whole day, just me and my husband. It was a fun day together, just me and him all day. He's normally working all the time and when he is home, I have to leave for business. It's rare to spend an entire day together, but when we do we take as much advantage of it as we can.

For my birthday we always go out and I pick out a few pieces of jewelry that I like, then later he will go pick the one out that he likes the best and will give it to me. I wanted a new bracelet, and I'm not a big fan of flashy jewelry. I had it narrowed down to two bracelets, and they were equally gorgeous and I loved them both. When we went out to eat that night, he showed me which one he picked out and it was this gorgeous, white gold bracelet with Sapphires in them. I was so excited and it's my favorite piece yet. It can go with anything and it is so subtle yet there and eye catching. I really like it and was happy with his choice.

You will be sure to find a set for any theme! They have the perfect pair ready for you to find two or more sets that match eachother! I bought this pair online not to long ago and I'm in love with them. They add that perfect touch that bring the whole room to life.

Swedish Massages at Huntington Beach

I don't get massages very often so when I do I need a deep tissue massage. I love going getting massages at Huntington Beach. Thier swedish massage gets into those tight places that don't get taken care of as often as they should! The facility is very relaxing and has a great vibe right when you walk in. If you can tolerate a more preasured schedule your appointment today in Huntington Beach!

Protect Your Computer

I take my computer everywhere with me, so i've been thinking its time to protect my computer more. I found this great deal on Amazon.com where I could buy a cover for both the top and the bottom of my computer along with a keyboard protector! I feel much safer knowing that i'm not allowing all the germs it could come in contact with. It feel even better knowing that I'm doing it for a bargain with great quality!

Clean Computer

It's never to late or early to start your spring cleaning, however you would like to look at it! As your searching the web do you notice that your keys are pretty dirty? It's time to clean them and make them spicka nd span! Make sure before you start cleaning it you turn it off and unplug your computer. Apply a mirco fiber cloth to your keys  if that doesn't do the job a damp lint free cloth will! Feel free to clean your cover or outside of your computer with a magic eraser! After all is said and done, it should be squeeky clean!

Tree Nails

 
Halloween is over now and its time for the holiday spirit to begin! I don't want to spend a lot of money to get a manicure at the salon when I could do it at home! Here's an easy way to make a christmas tree or any design your wish on your nails. Grab some tape and cut two small strips and palce them on your finger nail like a big triangle. Then cut four strips of tape into a triangle shape and place them on the sides to make the shape of a tree. Paint the whole nail green, and wait until it has dried to remove the tape. Make sure do decorate your tree if you want to!

Drying Station

 
I found this idea on pinterest. It is a sufficient way to dry your laundry and not have it taking up a whole bunch of floor space. I recommend putting this up on a wall in the laundry room, that way no one has to witness all of your clothes out. Click on the word link and it gives you instructions on how to make this! Don't be afraid to make it unique!

New Ice Tray

Just the other day I was trying to get an ice cube out of one of my plastic ice trays and bent my finger nail back in the process! It hurt super bad and I needed to find an easier way to get ice cubes. This new ice tray is very handy! You don't have to worry about forcing the ice to come out, they fall out much easier when they are in this new tray I bought! I would check the local stores around you and online! I'm stalking up as much as I can before there aren't many left.

Night Light Wine Bottle


I love having cool light fixtures around my house. This is a super fun DIY that looks great as a decoration. If you have an empty bottle of wine sitting around your house this is the perfect way to make use of it. All you need is a small portion of christmas lights that you will place inside of the bottle. There are two ways you can hide the cord from the lights. The easiest way is taping it to the outside of the bottle, preferably in the back. If you are handy you can drill a hole in the lower back of the bottle! If you want to make one that looks like the bottle shown above you will need to go buy some stones, like the ones you put into a fish tank. You will super glue them too the bottle. If you want something easier and you like the label of your bottle you can just leave the outside as is or attach anything you think would incorporate well. If you don't like the lights being as noticable you can put crystal filling in the side, it gives it a great finished look.

Children Friendly Tree

 
It might be a little soon, but before we know it the Holidays will be just around the corner. If you have small children this would be fun to make with them! Go to your local craft store and buy lots of felt. You can make a tree and lots of ornaments and your kids can make their own tree as many times as they want to! It's a great way to keep them busy while you are too!

Take Wax Out Effectivley

 
Everyone seems to have trouble getting the wax out of their jars. I have two different ways for you to try and get the wax out sucessfully without breaking the glass or hurting yourself! One way is to put the jar into the freezer and let it freeze. I leave it in there for a day just to make sure it was in there long enough. When the wax freezes it shrinks making it easy to break the wax and take it out in big pieces. The second way is it boil water. Then pour the very hott water into the jar of wax. Leave it alone for a couple hours until the water has fully cooled. the wax should float to the top and be easy to pick out! Now you don't have to go out and buy a jar, just reuse a candle jar around the house!

Rock Your Doorstep

I found this fun how to through pinterest. I love it because you can make it into any way you want! Some people have a bigger doorway and would like it to cover more than some stores would make. With this you can decide how big, small, rectangle, circle or anyway possible! Of course depending on how difficult and time consuming, you plan on making it! All you need are four different supplies to make it happen. Grab some scissors, a hott glue gun, a shelf liner and any rocks of your choice.  The steps are on the link above! enjoy:)

Charging Station

 
I'm sitting at my desk right now noticing that I have cords everywhere! My desk is very neat but because of all the cords it makes everything look like a mess. A family friend has all her cords neat and they never get tangled with each other! Then I realized it was because she had this nifty box to organize and hid the mess! It is a perfect way to hide what you can't get rid of. All she did was hook up an extension cord and place it insie of a box. She poked holes into the side of the box where she can plug in many different chargers. It is brilliant, so give it a try!

Silverwear Rings!

I saw these at my local mall and wondered how I could make these myself. They are rings made from old silverwear. I'm sure you have a whole bunch of extra utincles that you don't use, just go look. There are probably many that even have a beautiful design at the end.  Above are easy steps to show you how to make them if you find them as attractive as I do! These are pretty popular, yet I don't see them very much. Even if you do see some of the same ones it okay because your design is different from other people!

Drawers In The Linen Closet

Do you need somewhere to store your linens and pillows, but you take them out so often it doesn't seem worthwhile to even put them away? I have the best idea ever shown right here. Put drawers inside of your linen closet! The drawers make it efficient to get things in and out daily. Instead of worrying about them cluttering up the room during the day, now you can put them away where no one has to see and you keep everything organized.

Rotating Makeup Organizer

I have a drawer I store all of my make-up in and it gets cluttered. When I found this while I was shopping I got it and it helped so much. Now all my stuff has a place and im not digging around to find them. It's like I'm shopping everytime I go to put on my make-up! I get to rotate everything around and I don't have to take other products out to get to them. This is effective and every woman should have this!

Are you bored of giving all your friends and family boring birthday or special occasion cards from the store? We all know as much as we appreicate it, were just going to throw it away after so long! A new fun way to show your thinking about them is rolling up some money and putting it into a balloon! A balloon is super festive and it's a new creative way to give that special someone a gift! So next time your picking up a card, pick up a balloon instead.

Need More Space? Try the Stairs

 
Rooms and closets can get so cluttered, but I've got just the solution! Leave that extra space and put those shoes somewhere else. Try the stairs! It is the perfect way to hide clutter and no one will have to know! Just do the same thing you would do when making a dresser drawer and attach it to one of your stairs! No one will have a clue that thats where you keep your extra shoes or whatever it is you need to hide ;)

Times A Ticken

When my friend showed me this clock I was shocked by it! It is one of those things you have to spread out there because you think everyone should have one! One of it's greatest qualities is that you have the option of putting it anywhere you please. You don't have to worry about having something to set the clock on! I know one of my main problems with my clock in my bedroom is that I can't always see it when I'm laying down in bed. With this clock I can make sure I put it in the most effectable place and it looks spiffy too!

Mail Fun For Your Children

I remember when I was a little girl  my friends and I would make our own little mail slots and sit in different rooms and send eachother mail! I had so much fun playing that game. Everytime we wanted to play it we would have to make new individual mail boxes and it became such a hassle! This fun little mail box would be great if you have children who are learning to read. You can play with them and be teaching them at the same time. I made this for my little nieces and they have such a blast when they come over! They are really easy to make, just find some old cardboard you don't use anymore and tape it all together to make a box! Don't forget the mail hole :)

Old Books New Use

 
Do you have any old books that you don't have any use for? I have the perfect use for them that will also make great decor! All you do is grab an old book and cut your desired amount out and place one of your favorite low maintenance plants inside! This way you can place them on your outside steps like the picture or anywhere you feel it looks best! It's a great way to show off your sophisticated and artistic side!

Foldable Wine Rack

This foldable wine rack is very handy! A lot of poeple have wine racks that don't seem to get filled. Then they end up with an empty rack sitting in their kitchen. With this folding rack whenever you don't have wine you can put it away making more space for something else. I don't need a rack that tries to make me look like I am a fancy wine drinker. This is solely for the purpose of holding my wine when I get those craving to drink wine, or when I'm having a few friends over to drink a glass!

I have been searching for the perfect rings for quite some time now, and I think because I have looked at so many they are all starting to look the same, which makes me so lost now.

I started reading about tungsten wedding rings, and it completely brought me back to where I needed to be. I learned so much information and definitely want to go with tungsten wedding rings. Their quality is amazing and the lifetime warranty reassures me so much.

Duct Tape Helmet

My children are always looking for bright ways to express themselves! There isn't a lot of variety in bike helmets designs and if there are any cute ones some other kid around the block has already had it. My youngest daughter loves to match her friends, but for my eldest daughter and son its a different story. They want to have someone else doesnt already have. Safety is important, but i'm not going to go out of my way to find them stylish helmets that no one else has. That could get expensive! So here is a cheap way to make your children happy and safe! Go buy some fun duct tape colors or designs and duck tape your old or existing helmet. They can pick what they want it to look like and if you act fast no one else will have it!

Dorm Ottoman Bliss

My daughter just went off to college. This summer we went looking for an ottoman for her new dorm. She didn't want to have the same one everyone else had so we went on a hunt to find an efficient one. There were a lot of the same ones around Target and Walmart. Than we found one just like this but it was a little shorter so that her and her roommate could fit it under their futon. The really nice thing about these ones are that they are on wheels and they have a hard top. Whenever her and her roommate want to work or eat on the futon they have a hard surface to do it at. It's really nice that they are on wheels because when they have a lot of classmates hanging out in their dorm they can move it to give them more space. There are also shelves below to give them extra space to put their books or other useful things. All of the other dorm mates have little ottomans only one person can work on it at a time. With their's being longer than normal they can both enjoy it!

Such A Variety For Such A Small Price

I found this eye shadow set at Target for only $5.00. I couldnt imagine how great of a deal this really was when I saw it. This brand of make-up is Elf. Elf has great deals! I've bought my make up brushes, mascara and even my make up wipes from this brand! You can get Elf products at any store near you that sells cosmetics. Its such a steal when you find this many eye shadows for such a small price! Don't be afraid to mix up your look with so many different colors depending on your outfit that day or even how your feeling!

Tangled No More

All my jewelry gets all tangled up into each other, but now that I found this nifty invention that won't happen anymore! To make this all you have to do is go buy cutlery treys! You pick the amount depending on how much jewelry you have. Then attach them together and buy some hooks to put in each slot to hang up your necklaces. I really like the horizontal slots because you can put either earrings. more necklaces, rings or bracelets inside! Plus you dont have to worry about buying a jewelry holder that doesn't match your room. With this you can pick the style you buy or paint or spray paint the treys before putting your jewelry inside!

RibbonWick Candles For My New Decor

I just redid my living room, and it has a log home, woodsy feel to it.  I am obsessed with candles and have them all over my house and always have them lit, but I didn't think it would fit in with the rest of the living room if I had big, bright candles everywhere.  I also recently found this amazing RibbonWick Candles that are really cool, so when I found the brownstone collection I knew I had to get them for my living room! They are absolutely perfect. They are gorgeous and blend right in with everything. The scents for this collection are very unique as well. My house smells and looks amazing now.

You Need To Read About Tungsten Wedding Rings

My husband and I really wanted to make a good decision on the right wedding rings, so we thought we should as around to our friends and family before we make any decisions. We got great feedback from everyone. A couple people told me to read about tungsten wedding rings which is just what I did. They have so much to offer and so much guarantee which makes anyone feel good about a purchase like this.  They are not only amazing quality, but they are absolutely beautiful. We have had them now for about 4 months and they are still looking as beautiful as ever, and some how there are no scratches. I have definitely recommended tungsten rings to all of my friends and family.

Tan With Tea? Yes You Heard Me Right!

Now that the summer has come to an end there isn't anymore sun which means we are all becoming super pale. It takes a lot of time and money to go to the tanning salon and keep up a tan. A lot of people are also against tanning because of the risk of skin cancer. Other take the approach of buying self tanning lotion, but sometimes they don't always turn out the way you want them to. There are also some people are against the chemicals they are allowing to soak into their bodies. So how else do you get a great tan when the sun isn't there? Try with tea bags. Boil some water and than let four black tea bags soak into the water for about 15 minutes. At this time you could rinse off your body to get rid of any oils. Fill a spray bottle full of the tea water and go into your shower and/or bath tub and start spraying. Try to do one part of the body at a time. Do two to three coats or even three to four if you are wanting to be at a darker shade. Make sure you are completely dry before you put you clothes on to get the best results!!

Massages In Huntington Beach Are My Kind Of Thing

All I want to do before I go back to school is to get a massage. I have been so busy this summer with working, nannying, and taking summer classes, and going back to school actually feels like it is going to be less stressful. Massages in Huntington Beach are definitely my favorite. I have gone to many different places because I wanted to find the perfect one, and I would definitely have to say Huntington Beach was my number one choice. I have no worries there and I don't have to lift a finger. They get me so relaxed I am practically dead! I love it! It is so hard to leave; I could stay there all day if I could. The best thing about the spa is that they have everything there, so it's not just massages, they do it all, and a one stop place is my kind of place.

New Frosting For Cupcakes

I always start my baking later rather than sooner. I always think they will be more fresh if I hold off on making them till the last minute, but then I don't have time to frost them! This little trick is amazing. It saves me so much time. It's unique and everyone loves it! Whenever I feel like spicing it up I carmelize just a little bit of the top the marshmallow. The steps to this efficient cupcake are easy. Just set a marshmallow on top of the almost bake cupcakes. Wait till there are 2-4 minutes remaining on the timer. They will melt right on and make a delicous frosting that you don't have to wait to cool down to apply!

Scarves Are Key To All Fall Wardrobe

Now that fall is around the corner it's time to go shopping and find a solid wardrobe. There are some clothes from your summer and spring look that can "fall" over into your fall wardrobe, but are you scared you will get cold  with just that? That's why I'm suggest you load up on the scarves. You can just see the warmth coming from the picture above. That outfit wouldn't be nearly as warm if she didn't have a scarf. So now instead of going on a shopping spree, use your old clothes and buy scarves!

Zit Zapped Gone

I'm sure you've seen those commercial about how someone has a big event later that night, but they have a huge zit that just popped up on their face. No one wants to pay for a professional to cleanse their face every time a zit pops up on short notice and you can't get into a treatment on such short notice. Instead of worrying about the cost of that treatment try this rapid action treatment cream. Within four hours your zit should be gone and you are ready to get on with your big night. Plus it's only a couple of dollars! go ahead and enjoy your night!

Turn Dividers Into Decorations

Do you have rooms in your house that are connected, but you wish you could treat them like separate rooms? Building a whole new wall can get spendy. That's why I've found an easy fix. Go out and buy a wall divider! There are different styles and lengths. Do you want to completely block off the two rooms? If so, go buy a few of the same and connect them. Personally I've put one with three sections on one end of the wall so it looks divided but you can still get through to the other room efficiently. You can find different styles that can match the theme of your rooms. Now not only are they there for a purpose, but also look like they are part of the decorations.

Clean That Gunk

I use various products when I'm flat ironing my hair.After awhile I start to see a build up that does not look pretty. I didn't think it was a big deal, but after awhile it got so bad there needs to be something done about it. Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide seem to be the go to thing to fix any beauty related problem. Well, there is nothing different here. Mix those together and apply the paste onto your iron. Work it in and watch it harden and your gunk fall right off. It an easy fix instead of going out and buying a whole knew straightener!

Need Protein In Your Life?

When I went to the salon the other week my hair was in dire need of some protein. My stylist suggested I buy this protein product. You apply this all over your head after every other shower. I'm working on nursing my hair back to health and this stuff is really helping! Now I get my protein fix without having to pay for a protein treatment once a week. It really has been a life saver and a great bargain! The best routine is to apply this every other day after showering and the days you don't apply this apply a leave in conditioner or split end protector. There is never a need to put both in at the same time!

Unique Photo Frame

I always love finding new crafty ways to make my home look more unique. This is beautiful. I have a lot of CD's in my home, but now I use my iPhone to listen to music so I no longer need them. When I found this I went out and bought a thick frame from a craft store and started clear the clutter of my CD's. Of course I saved the classics. I broke them up into medium size pieces and glued them to the frame. I hung it up right under some lights and the colors is reflects are so neat! It looks great in dim lighting with just the light above glowing. If you try this yourself feel free to get even more creative with it. Add some glitter in the cracks or some writing! The possibilities are endless!

Weave Your Way To Looking Good

Like any teenager and young adult my daughter likes to keep up with the latest fashion and find way to stay original. She liked to have things other people don't have. It can get very expensive trying to keep up. When I found this idea I couldn't wait to tell her about it and try it out. I wasn't completely sure she would go for it but she loved it! She has a lot of old sweaters that could use a tune up. So she grabbed one of them and we went to the thrift store to get some cheap designed fabric to weave through. We just did this basic shape, but I think she is going to get more creative with it with her friends. I really enjoyed being able to spend some time with her doing this and it was super cost effective.

Where Are The Bobby Pins?

This looks so silly, but it comes in handy so much! Whenever I'm doing my hair bobby pins are hard to keep track of and when I'm in the middle of doing my hair it messes everything up when I have to pause, hold my hair and scavenger for a bobby pin. This bracelet is just a simple slap band with a magnet attached to it. All I do is attract the pins to the magnet and when my hands are already in the air from doing my hair so are my bobby pins! I'm sure if you get one of these for yourself or even a girlfriend that it will come in handy for more than just doing your hair! Just remember to take it off before leaving the house!

Temporarly Color Your Hair

These are easy at home temporary hair colors. There are select colors and you can get them at your local beauty salon. They are colored powder and you just apply to your hair. You can try the Ombre look, color a whole strand of hair or give just the tips some color. They come out after your first or second wash. Than you can switch it up and try a different color all the time! A little trick I've learned is that if you apply heat, like straightening your hair it holds the color longer. It's fun for any ages of girls!

A Body Wrap Is A Quick Fix

I had my class reunion this past weekend, and I really wanted to impress. I wanted to show up looking and feeling amazing. Quick solutions are hard to find, but I realized I could get a body wrap. It was quick weight loss for just enough time that I needed. It got rid of toxins in my body and cut inches away that I have been trying to do for some time now. When I showed up I got so many complements. Feeling amazing made me look that much better as well. Getting me to look like this jump started my weight loss goal. I have been eating healthy and working out a lot more now. I would suggest a body wrap to anyone!

Get Rid Of Pit Stains

 I know this does seem a little weird to be sharing, but how much is this a frequent problem for everyone? My boyfriend gets horrible pit stains on his white tee's. Usually he will walk around wearing them underneath his regular shirts, but lets get serious that is disgusting. So I always end up buying his white tee's more often than mine. I found this nifty trick and now he doesn't have to walk around in his gross t-shirts and I can wait to buy his new shirts till it is time to buy mine! So next time your about to pour straight bleach on a white shirt, instead mix one part dawn soap with two parts hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Scrub them thoroughly and let stand for an hour. Than continue your regular washing routine and they should be as good as new.

This is a great way to get the salon look without having to pay the salon price. I always want to get fake nails, but hate how much damage they do. When I heard about gel nails I really wanted to try them, but yet again I knew they were going to be super expensive. I was in ulta one day when I found a great deal on these home gel nails. You can pick any color of nail polish you want, just make sure to follow the instructions it gives you. It is a three step process. First you put a coat of activator, than your desired color of polish.Repeat this one more time for two solid coats. Make sure to switch brushes with the glaze and polish between each coat. The activator is sticky and could mess up the brush. When your done you will have hard beautiful looking salon nails.

Keeping Up Without The Cost

I can't afford to go to the dentist and get my teeth whitened every time I have a cleaning and those strips I can buy at the drug store can also get expensive. I used to watch my mom do this when I was younger and now I'm following in her footsteps. I mix hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, water and toothpaste. I brush my teeth with this mixture once or twice a week for about 2 minutes each time until I get the results I'm looking for. Once I got where I wanted to be I limited myself to using this mixture Once or twice a month. I have all these things at home so it's super convenient and less worry on the wallet!

Must Have In Any Womans Closet

Nude shoes are the perfect way to spice up any outfit. Everyone has their go to black heels that match just about everything, but don't forget about the nudes! I never really know what kind of heel i should be looking for when I go shopping. Here are nine different styles I would love to find! There are a lot of different styles that can go with different outfits that range from simple to edgy. If you have a pair of nude shoes you can save money and time. Before I had nude shoes I would get a new outfit and have to buy new shoes that were colorful and were limited to what certain colors in an outfit. That's a nuisance!

No More Fridge Clutter

I have 3 little young ones running around my house. They like to make art work all the time and I love showing it off, but with there being three of them it starts to accumulate. There is only so much room on the fridge for everything. I saw this brilliant idea on the internet and it worked super well! I hung a few bars on my office wall and attached their work. If you do daycare this would create a good amount of room to get all the kids work up. Once my children get a little older I plan on hanging one in each of their rooms and they will choose how much art work will hang! This way they feel like you support them and want to show off their work. It looks a lot more put together than using a magnet on a crowded fridge

Make Plain Shorts Unique


If you have a lot of regular blue jeans, you should try doing something different with them. This "Do It Yourself" is great. It's easy to do. First start by grabbing some old jean shorts or cut some old pants! Than bleach the bottom of the shorts and stamp on some cloth paint. If your someone who knows how to sew you could try to stitch the shapes you've created! It gives you endless possibilities to end up with. Best of all you've just saved so much money. When your done they will look like you over paid for your shorts, but little will they know that you made them all from some old jeans.

Keep Your Clothes Smelling Good


Pick any of your favorite air fresheners and stick it in your dresser drawers.  That way while your clothes are just sitting in their they are still going to be smelling great when you take them out to wear. There are those shirts or pants that just sit on the bottom of the drawer for ages. Then when the day comes you finally want to wear them they are smelly, if you stick a freshener in there you won't have to worry about them having that old stale smell! It's genius and cost effective and it's awesome that you can pick any scent your heart desires.

Baby Grooming And Healthcare Kit


This Baby grooming and Healthcare kit is great to buy for yourself or to buy as a gift for someone else. I got this as a present at my baby shower and it has came in handy so many times! There are a lot of different things in these kits that I've never thought I would need! It makes taking care of my new born so much easier when I have all the supplies I need right at my fingertips. These can also be used later in years, so I hopefully won't need to go buy any later. well that is if I don't lose them before then, but since everything has its own place in this nifty bag I'm sure to keep them for a long time!
