DIY Shirt Design

 

This is a pretty easy one. It only has two steps and is under $10. Everyone likes cheap crafts!

By the way, if you are looking for a tee shirt that is this yellow you are better off going to JoAnne’s or Micheal’s. I looked at 3 different department stores before I gave up and went to the craft store. Apparently, most people don’t prefer to wear bright yellow 😉 Ohh well, it is my new favorite gym shirt!

Pollock’s Sculptures Resurface

via ARTnews

It is really strange that I found this today. Recently I was talking to one of my co-workers about how I dislike Jackson Pollock’s paintings. How is throwing splashes of paint on a canvas considered art? How did it possibly make as much money as it did? He disagreed with me saying that Pollock had a method to his paintings, you have to really get lost in the painting to see what it is all about. Read the whole post

DIY Sugar Scrub

I’m giving you a really easy one this week but I’m not slacking on quality. I’ve seen this made a bunch of times but I never like the ingredients so I’m making my own.

Why don’t I like it? Because it is always made with baby oil or something else that claims to be good for your skin. Last time I checked, petroleum jelly was not good for your skin. We will substitute veggie oil! Much better. Read the whole post
