Crafty Corner: Crocheting with Tiara Thornton

BUY on AMAZON.COM

Happy Easter my Crafty Bunnies!

Get your crochet hooks out because I want to share a book that just released today on AMAZON.COM for the Kindle.  As you already know, I am passionate about anything artsy and this book falls into my crafty radar!  I am particularly fond of this book because the author, Tiara Thornton, is my sister and company owner of Sassy Curls which strives in “helping women embrace their individuality, value their self-worth, and discover their dreams”.

Tiara is a lifestyle blogger who inspires everyone to live life purposefully and put love in everything they do.  She’s a true inspiration to me which is why I encourage you to help support her first published book and show her your love!

Check out her blog at Sassy Curls for more of her inspiring work and buy her book!

Much Love,

Feel the LOVE

Good Morning Early Birds!

Today’s music selection is all about feeling and giving the LOVE!  Rudimental’s “Feel the Love” video is a great reminder for us to make an effort in showing everyone we connect with, LOVE and KINDNESS.  Not only will your spirits be lifted, but so will theirs.  Who can argue with that after listening to this song?

Choose to live a life that attracts positivity to you and surround you with positive people!  Enjoy the video  and keep loving!

Much Love,

Friday Tracks: Willy Moon


Happy Friday!

It’s that time once again where I supply you with a feel good track to kick your Friday off right!

Today you get to jam out to an up and coming artist named Willy Moon.  This 23 year-old musician and producer from London, England is showcasing his talent with a fresh, brilliant fusion of Rock’n’Roll and Modern Hip-Hop production that is adding some spice to the music industry these days.

Take a listen for yourself and if you happen to approve, consider adding this track to your iPod!  Enjoy your Friday…you’ve earned it!!!

Nail Fetish Tutorial: Drip, Drip

Nail Fetish: Drip, Drip

For all who don’t know, I am a fanatic when it comes to nail art and designs of any kind…especially when they are easy to recreate!

Today I stumbled upon a lovely little masterpiece from Beautylish.com. I personally like to call this nail design “paint drip”. As you can see, this is an easy design to do and so let’s lay down the steps in what to use and how to recreate it.

TOOLS YOU NEED:

  • Bobby pin (rounded end will serve as a the dotting tool)
  • Nail polish of light color OR white
  • Nail polish of one OR more vibrant colors
  • Base coat
  • Top coat

STEPS:

  1. Apply one layer of Base Coat to each nail and allow to dry completely.
  2. Apply 1-2 coats of your white OR light colored nail polish and allow to dry completely.
  3. Using the rounded tip of a bobby pin, dip into a small pool of vibrant color polish.
  4. Make a few random dots where you want the “dripping” to go, then drag the color to the tip of the nail.
  5. Finish the nail tips by painting the vibrant color across so the design is uniform and let nails dry completely to prevent smudging.
  6. Apply your Top Coat over dry nails for a high gloss shine and allow nails to dry.

There you have it…a fun, funky way to show off your creative side and style! Enjoy this fun manicure!

Much Love,
Tempest
