This morning we woke up and found ourselves in a snowy wonderland.

DIY Eggshell Sidewalk Chalk
Yes. You read the title correctly. Last week I tried making sidewalk chalk out of eggshells... and it worked! Here's the proof:

DIY Band- Aid heart nail stencil
I may not look like a girly girl on the outside.
I don't wear makeup.
My daily outfit usually consists of a pair of jeans and purple Converses.
My hair is usually in a ponytail or messy bun because I haven't gotten a haircut in over a year.
But here's a little secret- I'm a bonafide girly girl on the inside.
I dream of wearing sparkly shoes, bright red lipstick, and lovely polka dot vintage dresses with peter pan collars. I'm also an unabashed fan of YouTube beauty gurus. I could spend hours watching them talk about beauty and fashion products.
Strange right? Hopefully one day I can figure out how to balance out my inner girly girl with my outer plain jane.
Anyway, I just brought this up because I wanted to show you a neat trick that I learned from the mega talented Michelle Phan. Did you know that you can use band aids as nail stencils? (Click here to watch her tutorial.)
Directions:
1. Cut off the two end bits from the band aid. Toss out the middle white pad.
2. Fold each end bit in half and cut out a tiny heart. Make sure the heart is smaller than your nail. (This was surprisingly hard for me to do. I had to cut up a lot of Band-Aids to get two hearts small enough to fit my large thumbs.)
3. Stick the Band-Aid to your nail and rub it to make sure that it's stuck on tight.
4. Paint over the heart.
5. Take a deep breath and quickly rip the band aid off.
Voila! Enjoy your hearts.
