Frosted Glass Christmas Votives


I finally decided to try my hand at some spray frost....and I have to say, I'm liking everything but the fumes. This set of candle holders turned out just peachy and it was truly easy.....wanna try??

You'll Need:
Frosted Glass Spray (1 can)
Tall Glasses
Christmas Window Cling Decor
+ an *outdoor* place to spray

~Wash your glasses and let them dry. 
~Trim the pieces of plastic window vinyl to make the shapes that you want....and you don't have to stick to the designs that they made, trim out whatever you'd like!! I borrowed the saying "Let It Snow" and some random stars for snowflakes, but I trimmed out some Christmas trees as well.

~Stick the plastic where you want on the glass, smooth it down well so that all parts are firmly attached to the glasses, and bring it outside to spray it. 
~Following the directions on the can, make sure you are in a very breathable area and that there aren't any kiddos around, spray the glasses.
~I gave mine 4 spray applications, waiting in between to dry. 
~Once completely dry, peel off the stickers and......admire what you made. It's so darn cute!!

CREO Care Review and Givewaway!!!!


I have to be honest. 
I sometimes buy the cheapest Suave that you ever did see in a grocery store. I have a hard time spending a lot of money on shampoo because they are usually all the same to me. I might just change my mind for this product. 

CREO Hair Care products don't contain any sulfates, silicons, petrochemicals, or oxides. They also protect against UVA/UVB rays. They are plant derived and 100% vegan / animal cruelty free. An interesting fact about CREO is that they are the only company out on the market that use germinated seed extracts (from Grape, Sunflower, and Red Clover seeds) and they call it CREOPLEX. 

The first time I used this product I was impressed. My hair gets really frizzy when the air is cold and dry and the shampoo and conditioner kept it totally under control. My hair felt silky but not heavy and oily, which is a major plus. At the end of the day, my hair was still in great shape!!

If you are interested in buying some product, CREO Care is currently offering a 25% discount and free shipping on any order of $50 or more "CREOHOLIDAYSPECIAL"

CREO was nice enough to offer a giveaway.... a CREO trilogy product of your choice.
