Mouth guards.. for your feet!

Remember a a while ago, when I posted about how my favorite house shoes happen to be crocs? yup. well, I also wear them out to my pool quite often, and who would of known?.. they shrink in the sun.  Quite a bit... 

So trusty google told me to boil them in a pot of water and wear them to stretch them out. I have boiled a lot of mouth guards in my time, so the concept made sense. I tried it.. oh man! love!

Not only do they fit again, but they fit better all over. they don't flop around on my feet like duck feet anymore. marvelous! 

So, my dear friends. If you own a pair of crocs that have been caught by the sun, or simply want crocs that feel like custom orthodontics for your feetsies. 

dip them in a pot of boiling water for several seconds

Pull them out and CAREFULLY. don't burn your self put them on you feet and walk around

dip them in cold water after they have molded. I stuck them in my tub and ran water with them on. 

Enjoy your new custom footwear.

Nails! take two!

Last night I redid my nails, as well as my sisters, with the same method i talked about here now that I have the method down, this go round was much much cuter.

things i learned.

-let the nail polish dry completely on the plastic before you try to peel it off

- it works best if you pain the nail the base color you want and let that dry, and then paint a coat of clear to put the decals on.

- dont thy to trim your decals once they are on. nail polish remover the excess. its magic.

- I put a ton of polish on the ziplocks. and didn't use it all. once its dry you can store it for the next manicure.

The possibilities with this are endless with this. I am looking forward to lots of manicures. 

Nails!

My poor nails have been rather uncute as of late, so it was past time for a manicure. I used the technique where you paint a plastic bag and then peel the dried polish off. I don't love how it turned out. the colors don't really sing for me, but the technique is AMAZING, which is what I wanted to try. my nails will definitely be getting lots of love. It is super easy and almost eliminates my least favorite part of manicures. dry time! I can never be patient enough to not mess it up. go here for a detailed tutorial. so cute.
