THRIFTY THURSDAY PART DEUX
OK, 2 things I love. Good Food and a Good Find! A healthy wallet is a happy wallet!
So onto this find I found moments ago. Food Collages! Im sure you a wondering what one would do with a food collage?! This is my idea to you. First, find this talented woman on instagram/blog Julies Kitchen and ask about purchasing these amazing photos. Then I would hang them in a frame (see below)
& decorate a wall in either your kitchen or dining room (preferably an all white room).
How gorgeous are these?! I love a unique find. It inspires good health, good food and a really good idea.

THRIFTY THURSDAY
This brings back so much nostalgia.... As a child I would play with plastic animals along with my barbies. Id pretend that my Jem barbie kept a pet giraffe as a house pet. I was an odd child with an expansive imagination.
Anyway, seeing these genius decorations made me smile, knowing I can once again play with these little critters.
What you need:
Plastic Animals (you can find these at a novelty store/kids store/party store)
White Paint/Metallic Spray
Drill & Hot Glue Gun
Exacto Knife
Magnets
Directions: Let your imagination run wild!

CHANNEL YOUR INNER how do you say.....
She has a certain
“je ne sais quoi”……. Im sure you have heard of that phrase before. The French
use this often, which translates in English to “I don’t know what” or “I know
not what”. A quality or attribute that is indefinable, an elusive quality,
especially a charming one. Something very appealing, a “certain something”.
To me it’s a great word to describe a
confident woman with a beautiful attitude in life. Some may think my way of
thinking is old fashioned or restricted but I find it productive in my own whimsical
way.
Here are some ways you can bring out your inner je ne sais
quoi!
1.
Go for what you want. Dream Big.
2.
Allow certain aspects of your life to be
private, not everyone needs to know details.
3.
Learn a new language, take a painting class, try
a cooking class – try something new.
4.
Master something new
5.
Take Risks, healthy risks
6.
Never stop growing and yearning for knowledge
7.
Stand up for yourself and say “no” when you don’t
agree. Have your own voice (in a polite way of course)
8.
Pay no mind to naysayers and follow the path
best created by and for you
9.
Be respected and respect others
10.
Quality outweighs quantity, always.
11.
Nurture your relationships in all aspects
12.
Be Presentable at all times, nothing more
appealing than a well put together woman
13.
Be a lady. Embrace all forms and types of femininity
14.
Follow through on tasks and practice self-discipline.
Commit to something and get it done
15.
Make your everyday chores more ritual than
routine. Enjoy your local market when grocery shopping, put on some music when
cleaning and pick up some seasonal flowers for your space. Do your everyday
mundane tasks with a bit more sparkle.
16. Listen to your inner voice, the same voice that keeps calling and directing you to somewhere/someplace
17. Allow "me time".
18. Engage interesting people in conversation
19. Ignore stereotypes & revel in your imperefections - they make you unique.
Remember the most important tip is to live your own life
with purpose & shine, Appreciation and respect in everything you do. Hold your head high
& know in your heart that everything
you do comes from passion and let it radiate it to those around you. au revoir!

DIY Party: Glitter Confetti Eggs
Confetti eggs (aka Cascarones) are like mini pinatas for your head. Traditionally, hollowed out eggs are broken over the head of a friend, showering them with confetti….and supposedly good luck (but definitely confetti).
We decided to shake things up in our hunt this year by turning it into more of a game. You still fill most of the eggs with confetti (or birdseed, or, in our case, Fruity Pebbles since they still look like confetti but I don’t feel as bad about leaving them in the park for birds to nibble). But – one of the eggs in the batch is filled with gold glitter, and whoever ends up with the head full of glitter gets an awesome prize (besides all the good luck they have coming to them).
Party Rules
* Hide your confetti eggs as you would normal eggs, and let your friends go hunting for them.
* Once everyone has collected the eggs (or as the eggs are found – your choice), the *kindly* smashing upon heads begins.
* No throwing eggs! Proper egg-smashing etiquette requires your hand to come in contact with the other person’s head so that you aren’t hitting anyone too hard or poking anyone’s eyes out.
* The lucky winner who gets the glitter egg smashed on their head goes home with the grand prize of the day. I’m always a fan of large quantities of fine chocolate, but you can get creative with what the prize will be.
Variations: If you’re really feeling feisty (and don’t mind a messier activity), I think it would be fun to leave a few eggs raw, just to keep things interesting (and provide some real motivation for running from the egg smashers coming toward you). Or, really shake it up and try things like jello filled eggs, or powdered sugar filled eggs, or whatever you’ve dreamed of dumping on someone’s head.
