Dawn, Dusk, Graduation by Pixabay Ladies and gentlemen, it is that time of year! College graduation is just around the corner. December graduates are stuffing and mailing announcements as we speak, and I happen to be one of them. I graduate on December 9th and I just mailed my announcements last month. For my high school graduation, I just did the standard official graduation announcements from the school with added name cards and photos. I did buy pretty stamps for them, but overall they were pretty boring. This time around I did things differently. I spared no expense and no time. The tutorial below shows how to print on your announcement envelopes and return envelopes, properly stuff announcement envelopes, how to wax seal envelopes, and how to mail wax sealed envelopes. I hope you enjoy the tutorial and have fun making you own announcements one day: Supplies 5x7 Graduation Announcements A7 foil lined envelopes A1 foil lined envelopes Wax Seal Stamp Wax Seal Ki...

Makeup Brushes by Pixabay Has anyone seen those new gadgets that are supposed to magically clean and dry your makeup brushes? While they do look amazing (here, take a look) , the price is definitely not amazing. As a person who wears makeup, I will admit my brushes are almost always in need of a cleaning. But really, who has time to clean them? It take forever to wash and rub out all of that built up product by hand. It seems like you finally got all of the product out, and then you find more. Sometimes it seems like it would be easier to just throw out the lower priced brushes and buy new ones. I will admit, I am guilty of doing this once or twice. After my second set of makeup brushed though, I came up with a better idea. After you read this you will never spend hours cleaning brushes or resort to buying new ones.
