New place New space

by Leave a Comment

I moved to a larger two bedroom apartment this week and I’m quite excited at the amount of space we have.
The largest of the two bedrooms will be our office and my filming area. I got the ok from my partner Matt to decorate as girly as I wanted. With this permission I’m all giddy about picking paint and decor with my good friend Krystal.
I’ve decided on a champagne gold, mint,white and pink/coral colour scheme. I have a whole board on Pinterest with ideas bursting out the seams.
Krystal and I headed to Home Depot and Walmart to grab some paint swatches. Here are my narrowed down list.

I love how clean and crisp these colours look. I’m super excited to pick out the colour and start painting on Sunday.
For the record here is the before shot of the room

Don’t forget to come back for more and see the room transition to a beautiful office/filming space.

Boo!

I cannot believe Halloween is in a week!
Halloween is on a bit of an awkward day this year for anyone older than 14. Thursday is far enough from the weekend before and obviously before the weekend following.
When are we supposed to celebrate dressing up and eating our weight in candy?
My friend had suggested doing a get together on Nov 2nd and her logic makes perfect sense. EVERYTHING that has anything to do with Halloween is at least 50% off on the 1st.
I have taken on the task of hosting this post Halloween extravaganza and hoping to nail some of these Pinterest gems.

Meghan from Domestic Sugar made these witch fingers look real and creepy using cinnamon. I will be recreating these Halloween sugar cookie staples

originally from FamilyFun Magazine this swamp juice looks interesting to say the least. Who wouldn’t want fish eggs on Halloween!?

how cute are these ghosts? I’m not sure who to credit this for. I pinned this item but it just brought me to a single image. None the less, I will be making these “floating ghosts”

DIY Makeup Remover Wipes

20130719-082406.jpg
I am so into DIY projects especially if they will help me save money. Making makeup remover wipes are something that has been on my list for a long time. I researched different ways to make it and from reading reviews on all the different recipes I came up with my very own.
Most of the recipes I came across explained how to use a paper towel roll and cutting it in half. Let’s be honest here…who has time or patience for that!?! I definitely do not. Since this posed a problem I quickly troubleshooted and came up with an easy solution, Cotton pads. I got mine at the dollar store at $1.00 for 50. I now felt confident that I can attempt this recipe with out the mess and frustration that ensues by sawing a paper towel roll.

Here’s the video how

Beauty Don’ts TAG

by Leave a Comment

So there is a tag that has been going around and I find it hilarious. If your not familiar with ‘TAG’ videos they are basically a video in which you ‘tag’ other youtubers to do the same video. There are so many out there and they are fun to do and to watch. This one is the beauty don’ts TAG. The video is a video explaining all of the things you should not do with your makeup/beauty products. Some videos just explain what not to do and others treat it like a tutorial. I decided to do it as if I were doing a tutorial. Its in no way serious and I thought it would be fun….and I was right. It was extremely fun but really hard to keep a straight face the whole time.

Here is the video on a few of my beauty don’ts

Are you Guilty of any these Beauty Don’ts?

I used my BH Cosmetic contour & blush pallette the wrong way but I do actually love it 🙂

My Pinterest vision turned reality when I found these two blank canvasses in the apartment. I used tape and three colours to make a geometrical pattern. I posted on instagram (@SimplySarahxoxo) and everyone loved it and wanted to know how. I decided to add two small canvasses to make the ‘L’ shaped canvas into a square and film a DIY how to video.
Here it is 🙂
