    Will You Be My Bridesmaid?

    Everything You Need to Know to Nail the Part of Perfect Bridesmaid

    By: Kristen Page

    Whether it’s your sister, your childhood friend, or your college roommate, these five little words actually mean a lot. Brides give a lot of thought as to who they want to be part of their special day – not to mention the months of planning leading up to it. Before saying yes, make sure you’re up for the challenging task ahead!

    Being a bridesmaid is no easy – or cheap – feat. It’s a role that has the potential to require a fair amount of planning, to cause a serious strain on your bank account, and to tie up at least a few of your precious weekends – not to mention that you might have to wear a hideous pairing of dyed satin shoes and an awkward gown…all with a big smile on your face. With that said, it can also be one of the most special, rewarding, and memorable roles that you can play in any girl’s life. Weddings are important celebrations, and the role of a bridesmaid should not be taken lightly!

    But don’t fret; I’ve got all the tips on what TO DO and what NOT to do, once you take on the “bridesmaid” title.

  • The BEST Valentine’s Day Gift: The Cootie Catcher

    The BEST Valentine’s Day Gift: The Cootie Catcher

    Capture Your Cutie’s Heart with our Cootie Catcher

    Valentine’s Day. Though it happens every year, I always seem to find myself asking the same questions time and again, “What should I do? What should I buy? Does anyone have any ideas??” No matter how many turns this holiday took around the dial it seems inevitable that I’d feel unprepared. That was of course, until I thought of what I consider to be one of the most brilliant Valentine’s Day gift ideas ever. What you ask, could that possibly be? You might be surprised by the answer:  a cootie catcher. Shameless self-promotion aside, I really do love this idea and want to share it with all of you!

    Think back to your childhood and chances are, at some point or another, you created a cootie catcher. You may have called it a “fortune-teller” or given it some other name, but in the end it was basically a giant fortune cookie. Well, it turns out that these origami toys aren’t just child’s play. They make a fun game for adults too, particularly during gift-giving seasons. So cast away your doubt, pull out your crafting supplies, use your imagination, and get ready to make the greatest Valentine’s Day gift. Ever. <3
