Easy 70s Halloween Costume

Easy 70s Halloween Costume header with group photo

We made a girls trip to New Orleans and wanted to dress up for Halloween while we were there! But we didn't want to do anything super crazy or expensive, so we decided to go as hippies/70s girls. Or how most people will call it.... #BASIC.

Where we got our stuff:
  • Tie-dye shirts - Me and my friend Brandee went to Hobby Lobby and bought t-shirts and Tulip brand Tie Dye. Literally everything we bought was on sale and cheap, so highly suggest going to Hobby Lobby if you decide to make t-shirts! They also have 40% coupons on their website which works on pretty much anything that doesn't already have a discount.
  • Glasses, Necklaces, Headbands - Ordered a set of four glasses, necklaces, and headbands from Amazon for $14.99

How we made the t-shirts:
I might make a separate blog post on this because there are different ways to get the perfect tie-dye look and I'm still curious to find out how to get perfection because ours weren't perfect (close to perfect, but not perfect, lol).
  1. First, we soaked our t-shirts in water. This will help the dye absorb into the t-shirt better. And I've been told that salt water helps the color not fade and stay vibrant. We didn't try it this time, but I want to try and see if it works next time!!
  2. We started dying our t-shirts. Wear gloves, old clothes, and make sure you have a clear work station that you don't mind getting messy. We went outside and dyed our shirts which I highly recommend! If you're unsure about designs, I would look them up online, or check out this link which has a ton of designs! --> https://www.tiedyeyoursummer.com/techniques
  3. Once we were done, we let them sit for about 30 minutes to let the color get absorbed.
  4. Then we put our shirts in a large bowl of vinegar, salt, and water and let it sit for about 30 minutes to an hour.
  5. Me and Brandee did things differently here, but we got similar results. She put hers immediately in the washing machine and dryer. I let mine sit overnight and put it in the washing machine the next day with a little vinegar and salt mixed in with my detergent. My shirt might have turned out more vibrant, but it wasn't a huge difference between mine and Brandee's color-wise. You guys can see the photos and make decide, lol.
This was my first time dying t-shirts since **4TH GRADE** and it was a huge improvement from then!! I would probably use less blue next time and leave some parts white like Brandee's shirt. But overall, we were super impressed by our results! We both were convinced they were gonna look like sh*t. I definitely enjoyed doing this and if I figure out the "perfect" tie-dye techniques, I will make a new post all about it!

New York City Guide: Taylor Swift Edition (With the walking path attached!)

-
Image
So my fiancé and I went to NYC during the weekend of the 1989 (Taylor's Version) release, so I thought it was only appropriate to plan a Taylor Swift-themed tour especially since 1989 has been referred to as the New York City album. Am I crazy? Yes. But was it fun? YES!!! I thought I could share our tour with you guys, if any Swifties ever want to do the same. And if you're going with a significant other who doesn't like Taylor Swift related activities, just lie and say you're going to some cool new spots to check out. I may or may not have done that. He may or may not have found out during the tour but it was too late to back out. Hehe 🙈 This is a walking guide and I made sure all the places were easy to navigate. I have two brain cells when it comes to directions, so if I can do it, you guys can do it too! 55 Franklin Street, New York, NY 10013 Significance: TS lived in the top floor condo. We started our tour in Tribeca. Super empty street, which makes sense why she...

Olly Undeniable Beauty HSN Vitamin Review (with before and after photos!)

-
Image
I have always had pretty clear skin. If I ever had breakouts, which was more frequent in college, I was able to eventually pinpoint what exactly caused it, and it would usually be linked to stress or a certain food. And it was usually like 2-3 breakouts, so nothing like super crazy. The breakout would happen, I would freak out for a second (probably post a snapchat about it 🙊), and then my skin would go back to normal. But in the past 5ish months, my skin has changed. The breakouts have been more regular and my skin isn't as smooth as it used to be. I have been trying to figure out why because there hasn't been any significant change in the products I use or the food I eat. Like I was going to post an updated skin care routine and then my skin went crazy and I scrapped the idea (for now) . But I was open to using some kind of supplement that would help improve my skin and hair.  Well, mostly my skin, but I wasn't opposed to hair growth. The vitamins I originally want...

A Nice Person vs. A Good Person

Image
I recently got called out for offending someone by saying they weren't a very nice person. You're probably thinking, "wow sarah that is awful." I know, it is a horrible thing to say to someone!! 🙈 But I truly didn't mean it in an offensive way. I had told the person that they were a really good person and had good intentions... but just not very nice, lol. They were still upset by my comment. Which had me going down deep in my thoughts; being nice versus being good . Here are definitions of both words that I found on google. Nice: adjective .  pleasant; agreeable; satisfactory. Good: (1) adjective . to be desired or approved of. (2) noun . that which is morally right; righteousness. (I put both definitions since both seemed necessary) So basically, my question is, is it better to be known as a nice person or a good person? Or are they the same? I personally think there's a difference between the two, but here are some examples of what I mean....
