The Greatest Valentines Day Pick-Up Lines

Valentine's is the cheesiest holiday in my opinion. Like shouldn't you love your significant other and show them that all the time?! 

Or for the single people, what the fuck are they supposed to do? Eat ice cream & wallow in their single sorrow? 
No, my friends. You're going to go out there and find the pretty/handsome, lady/fella and drop these sweet, sweet lines. 

Your success rate is guaranteed. 














And my personal favorite: 

These are killer, right? Enjoy V-Day! 
& remember, if these fail you, there is always a fallback plan.

I Tried The Claw Manicure

Okay so, if you know me, you know I try to keep my nails looking fresh all through the week. I don't go to a salon because I feel like I can do it myself and save the money. (I'm fucking savvy, you know?)

There's just something about having a pretty manicure that makes me feel warm & happy inside. It's like ooooh, girl, get it. 

I've been seeing a lot of new nail trends lately on social media outlets. I love that, because I can easily find new inspiration when I want something new. Not sure if anyone really follows celeb gossip anymore, but Kim Kardashian West is trying to sport a new mani "trend" and it makes me want to chop her hands off. 


OMG. She's piercing her nails with chains and hoops and shit. How do you grab anything? Can you even use your fingers/hands at all? I'm not a fan.

I did however, buy into the "claw" shaped nail trend. I've been seeing so many photos and thought I'd give them a go. They're just different and kinda grew on me. 

The super long ones freak me out, though. They looks like weapons and I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with giving myself that kind of power. 

  DANGEROUS

My nails are longer so I shaped and filed them like the ones below. 


The outcome? I really love them. 
At first, I made the points a bit too sharp and kept stabbing my face. So I filed them just a little to take off that super prominent point. 

I feel like my nails are saying, "Don't fuck with me." & I love that. Lol. 

Do you keep up with your manicure? Or nail trends? Tell me about them!

Kids Are Just Really Weird

Those fuckin' hooligans again. If you hear a loud noise, or even silence, you know that you're probably in trouble. Children will NEVER run out of weird things to keep them entertained. I promise. There is no break.


Not your traditional face painting. But hey kid, do you. I would probably die of laughter if I had to paint her face. Bwahaha.


 Not sure if they thought this was funny or she just wanted to keep him in line. Smart girl! Why aren't more of them catching on?


Who in the fuck would waste ice cream and put it up their nose? A child, that's who.


Odd. But I wish my pool guy would wear a Transformers mask too. Spice things up.


 
That stage in their life when they're trying to find their inner Britney Spears.


It's really sweet he's feeding his younger sibling. What's up with the mask? New identity? Of course.


Damn. That almost looks too comfortable. Weirdo.


Not sure if this one is weird or living everyone's dream. He made his shitter his home office AND dinner table.


Last but not least. To go along with their extremely odd behavior, they have a fashion sense to match. Whether they're rocking rain boots & a diaper or a pink poncho and a cowboy hat, they will definitely not be in the next issue of Vogue.

& those are just a few reasons why children are the absolute weirdest creatures to roam the Earth. I find its the most troublesome in their toddler years. But you know, I guess people go their whole lives being weird too.

Yeezus Brand Vs Your Own Scissors

Unless you live under a rock, you probably know who Kanye West is. 


'Ye has been dropping music since 2004. Whether you're a fan or not, he is a topic of convo for every news outlet. Instead of getting into detail about the artist himself, I want to talk a little about his fashion line. 

Every celebrity is rocking his shit. From shoes to ridiculously over-priced tees. & unless you can afford to drop $500 on a shirt, it's time to get creative.

I'm not sure why distressed clothing is so trendy right now. But I've hopped on the bandwagon. Everyone wears holes in their jeans. And now, it's cool to have a shirt that looks like it made it out of World War 2.

Guys. I'm not even shitting you. People actually pay good money for this. $500. For that. ------> 

I'm not hatin' on you Kanye. You're killin' it in the fashion industry. 

But I'll be damned if I'm not about to take a pair of scissors and do this myself. 

If you've been on the fence about this trend, take an old shirt and just fuck it up. What could go wrong? 

I guess it's the idea of looking like you don't care. If that's the case, count me in. 

I distress my own jeans, so I thought I'd try this out. If you can get a t-shirt from a thrift store for $3 and make it look like it came fresh from a Yeezy store, why wouldn't you? Don't be a label whore. Although, I'm sure Mr. West would appreciate it. 


I don't feel the need to give a step-by-step tutorial. There's a million on YouTube already. Shout out to you savvy fuckers. Use scissors & a razor. Go crazy on that shirt & the outcome may surprise you. 


If you do it right, you may be able to tell everyone it's from Yeezy Season 4 & you totally paid $500 for it.

Mini Heart-Shaped Pizzas

With Valentine's Day approaching, I see sooooo many cute & fun ideas from snacks, presents, & decorating. I don't know anyone who doesn't drool over the thought of pizza. Or maybe that's just me. 

Here's an easy and fun way to make your own mini, festive pizza :)


What You'll Need:
                                                                            
Ingredients: 
Pizza Dough
Pizza Sauce
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Pepperoni
Flour (For dusting work surface) 
Supplies:
4" Heart Cookie Cutter
1" Heart Cookie Cutter
Pizza Stone 

  1. Preheat oven to 450°. Remove the pizza dough from the freezer let it sit out for 30 minutes to come to room temperature. 
  2. Use a 1″ heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out the pepperonis. (Easier to flip the cookie cutter upside down and press the pepperoni into the cutter.)
  3. Sprinkle your prep surface with a little flour. Place the room temperature pizza dough on top and use the 4″ heart shaped cookie cutter to cut out the dough.
  4. Place about 1 tablespoon of sauce in the middle of each crust. Use a spoon to spread it around the entire surface and top with cheese and heart shaped pepperonis.
  5.  Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes or until the crust is crisp and the cheese is just beginning to brown. Allow it to cool for a minute and enjoy!
