It is a really cute mini scrapbook and each page has one thing that you love about the person you are giving it to!
I gave mine to my boyfriend, not for valentines day but for our 6 month anniversary and he loved it!
Tell me what your plans are for valentines day down below! and
let me know if this is something you might give to your valentine!!!
These are not only a fun family treat, but also a great activity for the kids to help with!
what you need
pretzels
milk chocolate
milk
red and green candy melts
cookie sheet
tin foil
step 1. melt the milk chocolate in either the microwave or on the stove
step 2. add some milk ( i just eyeball the amount - the milk helps to make the chocolate creamier)
step 3. dip the pretzel in
the chocolate
step 4. set the dipped pretzels on a tin foil covered cookie sheet
step 5. put them in the fridge to chill while you melt the candy melts
step 6. drizzel the melted red and green candy melts over top in a criss cross pattern

These are by far one of my favorite things to make for holidays! and you don't just have to do christmas ones, you can do them for ANY holiday!
what you need:
wine glasses
enamel paint (i use the brand folk art which you can purchase at walmart)
paintbrushes
aluminum foil ( i use this as a palette to mix colours although you can use a paper plate or anything like that)
an oven (to set
the paint)
step 1. clean and dry your wine glass
step 2. paint the desired image on it (you will probably have to do a few layers of paint as the first one is pretty sheer)
step 3. follow the directions on the back of your paint to learn how to set it.
-- if you are using FOLK ART ENAMEL PAINT you need to put them in the oven before you turn it on, set it to heat to 350 degrees once the oven is heated set the timer for 30 minutes, when its done turn the oven off but leave the glasses in there until they are completely cool. THIS IS IMPORTANT SO MAKE SURE THAT YOU FOLLOW THE RULES TO EXACTLY.
- hand painted glasses need to be handwashed!

So putting up beauty videos on youtube gets you A LOT of questions that you would never imagine being asked, or for that matter, needing to answer. but it also makes you realize how many girls out there have problems that they CAN'T talk to anyone about, and questions they have that NEED answers.
After one of my viewers sent me a question about tampons, i realized that instead of just
responding to her question, i should make a video for everyone else that has questions aswell..
I have linked my video above so you can watch it but i am also going to answer some of the faq's right now.
1. does it hurt?
- i dont think so, its more uncomfortable than anything.
2. if i use tampons does that mean im not a virgin?
- NO. losing your virginity is when you have sexual intercourse.
3. should i use cardboard or plastic applicators?
- its personal preferance but i use cardboard because they are flushable and im very conscious of the environment and garbage.
4. how often should i change it?
- i would say minimum of every 3 hours or so, but usually i change it every time i pee. (it does however TOTALLY depend on how heavy your flow is)
5. why do you prefer tampons?
- i think that it is WAY more sanitary and comfortable.
any other questions, leave them in the comments and i might do a part 2 video!

I am OBSESSED with nail polish! Like seriously obsessed. my collection runs close to 300 if you include all of my nail art polishes aswell. I made a video of all of them and listed off every single colour so you know exaclty what i have!
