If you have been following me for a while, you guys know I love making custom workout tees using my Cricut and iron on vinyl. I have made several for myself and my friends at the Y. Have you heard about Cricut's new SportFlex Iron On™ that is lightweight and stretches? It is made for fabrics like nylon and polyester and features the Cricut StrongBond™ Guarantee. I was stoked when I found out I was getting the chance to try it!

Have you heard about Cricut's new SportFlex Iron On™ that is lightweight and stretches? See how I used it to customize a yoga tank and leggings!

Let me tell you, it is perfect for dryfit material and leggings; it really does give and stretch with the fabric. It also comes in a ton of colors, including this gorgeous gold matte!

Preparing Winter Clothes for Storage With Dryel

This is a sponsored post written by me in collaboration with Dryel. All opinions are mine alone.

Spring weather is around the corner and it is time to start thinking about putting away the heavy wool coats, sweater dresses, and sweaters. I usually try to dry clean the ones that got a lot of wear over the Winter, but that gets expensive. I have found a cheaper option that works just as well, and you can do it at home!

Let me introduce you to Dryel At-Home Dry Cleaner. For around $10, you get the Dryel fabric care bag, four cleaning clothes, Stain pen, and Odor & wrinkle releaser, which will clean up to 20 items.

Spring is here (today is the first day!) and it is time to throw open the windows and let some fresh air in the house. If your windows and doors are like mine, they probably need a good cleaning to remove the layer of grime winter weather has left.

Strength Has No Gender™: Women Can DIY Too

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #StrengthHasNoGender #Cbias


One of the reasons I started my blog was to inspire women to tackle DIY projects and home renovations. My goal is to show that girls can be fashionable and girly, while getting your hands dirty and building things! I was inspired by many of the other female DIY bloggers that I had followed for a while. When the time came for us to remodel our basement, I had confidence that I could learn to do it!

The Strength Has No Gender™ campaign highlights the positive, inspirational stories of everyday women in cities across America who have been breaking down barriers in traditionally male-dominated industries and empowering women to do the same.

Not all heroes are a “he.” It's time to recognize courageous, strong, and resilient women and hear their stories. This Women's History Month, tell us the story of your SHEro with #StrengthHasNoGender and encourage a friend to do the same.

Transform Your Stairs Using Paint

Do you have stairs that are covered in dirty, ugly carpet? Well, we did...and as part of our basement renovation, we were going to change that! We ripped up the old, nasty carpet then painted the steps and risers. We ended up having to also use carpet tiles on them because our dog slipped when going down the stairs and got freaked out.

Do you have stairs that are covered in dirty, ugly carpet? Transform them with paint using this tutorial.Surprisingly, the process of ripping up the carpet was not as hard as I thought it would be. You just need a few tools and a lot of elbow grease.

How to Make Planner Stickers Using Cricut

I am a planner nerd...I confess that I still use multiple paper planners. There is just something about seeing your to-do list and notes on paper and checking them off. While I do not go crazy with decorating my planner, I do like to use colored pens and some stickers to call attention to events or to-dos.
Did you know that you can make planner stickers with your Cricut? Choose from standard designs or make your own custom stickers!

I have been wanting to make my own stickers using my Cricut and I finally got around to it!
