I Love Sally Beauty Supply!

I never really have shopped much at Sally Beauty Supply, and I honestly don’t know why. They have the best products for your hair and the best prices on them as well. Today I went in there and signed up for their beauty club card, which cost me $5, and shopped for a few things. I’ve been needing a big curling iron for a while now, and they had one for $12.99. Since I have the beauty club card now, the price was only $11.99. The coolest part is that it came with a cute little mini straightener! I know I have the best straightener in the world already (I own a Sedu Revolution!) but this mini iron will help me get closer to my scalp and also be easier to straighten my bangs with. Not to mention the adorable pink leopard print design on it!!



Plus, I got this split end treatment made my ION. It’s supposed to work really well, and my ends definitely need some work. The green bottle is some stuff that will help my frizzies go away, but boost my waves & curls, yay!

Oh yeah, and the best thing about this all is I’m getting a $5 gift certificate in the mail soon for signing up for the beauty club, so technically the membership was practically free! :D

Crafty Monday #2: DIY Earrings

Following along the same lines as last week’s Crafty Monday post, I figured I would do a post on making your own earrings! The best part of making your own jewelry is knowing that the pieces you make are 100% original YOU! Not to mention it can be cheaper than buying store-bought jewelry. Making your own earrings is a cinch! Not the most flattering picture of myself (you can click to enlarge it so you can see the earrings better), but the earrings in the picture are what I’m going to blog about today :) They’re very simple to make and only takes about 10 ~ 15 minutes. I put $25 as the estimated cost because if you do not already own a pair of round-nose pliers and wire cutters, those can run about $8 ~ $12 from a craft or hardware store. The supplies for the earrings are very cheap, though.

Materials:
- round-nose pliers
- wire cutters
- 2 two inch head pins and 2 two inch eye pins
- 2 ear wires
- beads of your choice & 2 shaped beads (ie. pink hearts)
Cost: $25.00

You can follow along with the instructions with the image below. Each number on the image corresponds with the number in the instructions.

DIY Earrings Instructions (Click to enlarge)

1. Grab a head pin and slide your shaped bead onto it. With wire cutters, cut down your wire to 1/2 inch sticking out from the bead.
2. With your round-nose pliers, bend the wire at a 90ยบ angle. Bend the wire into a loop, but make sure you leave a gap so you can slip an eye pin on it. good example of how to do this can be found here.
3. Take an eye pin and slip some beads on it. Depending on how small or large your beads are, you’ll be able to slip 3~5 beads on the eye pin. Hook the shaped bead onto the end of the eye pin and squeeze shut with your pliers.
4. If you notice, there is no loop on one end of the eye pin. This is so you’re able to slip the beads on. You’re going to have to make your own loop on this end. Do the same procedure written in step 2 to do this. make sure you leave a small gap!
5. Slip an ear wire on the loop and close shut.
6. Repeat steps 1~5 for your second earring. Display them proudly! you’ve just made a 100% original piece of art!
