Pinterest Ideas=Success

I am such a Pinterest fan. In my mind, Pinterest is NOT a waste of time if you actually try the ideas out every once in a while. One of my New Year's Resolutions was to try at least 2 new Pinterest ideas each month. I have been surprised how many of them have worked. This post is all about my most recent finds that DO work.

Pinned from Here, this new hair style trick has saved my mornings. It honestly takes five minutes and really gives that half-curled, half-straight look! Yea for 5 extra minutes sleeping in!



I suffer from major anxiety when it comes to cooking--Pinned from Here, this Cilantro, Lime Crockpot Chicken was delish and SUPER easy...I couldn't even mess it up. My husband is quite the Mexican food expert and he was over the moon about it.



My newest love for holiday decor is printables that I switch in and out of frames. I have found a couple of great ones and I feel like everyone should be able to take part. For the first time ever, I had St. Patrick's Day decor and two days later I suddenly had modern and chic Easter/Spring Decor...check out This.

I have had my fair share of disasters as well...but that's a post for a different day!

Pale Pink = New Nude

This morning as I was getting dressed, my lovely daughter pointed out that my shoes "did not match". As I tried to explain to a three year old that pale pink was indeed the new nude and therefore a neutral, she kept insisting that my shirt (which has some pink in it) and my shoes were not the EXACT same color and therefore should NOT be worn together.I have been thinking about this. I used to have the hardest time not matching all my clothes exactly. Many episodes of What Not to Wear have convinced me. The problem is, I am not always sure how to have things "go" but not match. I follow several fashion blogs and after a Vegas shopping trip a few weekends ago, I now feel like I have some great examples to watch. How to convince my three year old the difference between mismatching right and wearing black fuzzy boots with her purple and orange sparkly dress is a different question!
