You’ve probably seen at least one of my countless mentions about Diptyque if you read this blog. Obsession would be a mild word for how I feel about this line of candles and so when I saw this super creative way to use the “empties,” I had to share. One of Hanky Panky’s employees tweeted to Diptyque about how he uses the empty candle votives to hold pens, pencils and other desk knick knacks. So genius!

DIY Neon Necklace Statement Piece
I’ve always been a crafter but over the years, I definitely haven’t dedicated as much time to “creating” as I should. Michael’s, pretty much the best craft store ever, approached me with a challenge to create a summer statement piece and naturally, I was thrilled to take them up on the offer. Confession: I’ve been dying to make this amazing neon statement necklace that my DIY friend Kristen created a few weeks back. Ok, so my statement piece wasn’t exactly my idea but nonetheless, I’m still super excited about it and totally obsessed with my creation (inspiration above).
Kristen got her necklace at Forever21 but I actually already had an old rhinestone necklace that I bought for Halloween and my Moulin Rouge Christina A. costume. I then used Michael’s CraftSmart Acrylic Paint Neon Paint Pot to paint each individual rhinestone, which gave me the best neon colors and since I didn’t really need much paint to cover each rhinestone, the little pots were the perfect size to purchase.
BONUS! Michael’s has a great online coupon, valid starting July 3! Get it HERE.
The result!
FTC Disclosure: Michael’s provided me with a $50 gift card to purchase any items I needed to complete my statement piece but all opinions are my own.

DIY: Rose Ice Cubes
So I’ve always had this weird thing with ice cubes. I’ve made them out of orange juice, put grapes in them, I even have heart shaped trays. When I saw this article on CasaSugar, I felt impelled to try something even cooler. How pretty would this be for a wedding or BBQ this summer?!

DIY: Humidifier
So I don’t know why, but I’m vehemently against getting a humidifier for my room. There really is no logic behind this…I think it’s just pure laziness. For years I’ve been hearing how a humidifier would help with my frequent nose bleeds and even keep my skin fresh and moisturized…yet, I still haven’t made moves. I almost caved when I saw this frog humidifier on Amazon.com. I know, you’re thinking, how baby’s bedroom is this? I can’t explain it…I have a thing for cute green objects, lol.
Anyway, I didn’t end up getting it because I saw this genius article on BellaSugar about making your OWN humidifier…and everyone knows I can’t resist a good DIY!
