Home Decor – If I Can Do It You Can Do It

I get asked all the time if I would decorate someone’s home or offer suggestions on what they should do in a room.  I’m not an Interior Designer but through classes I’ve taken and experience I have come to love putting a room together.  I love the challenge of doing a room inexpensively or with things I already have.  So, I thought I would pass on advice I give to others.  Of course, if there is anything I can do to help feel free to ask.

How To: Apply Dry Shampoo

What a great invention! I use the Suave Keratin Infusion Dry Shampoo.  You can find it at most grocery stores, and it smells yummy!! Plus it adds great volume and freshness to your hair as well!
