    I’m willing to bet your mom likes flowers. I’m also pretty confident she would love it if you made a bouquet just for her. In this simple arrangement, I used tulips, roses, snapdragons and filler. All of these were purchased at my local grocery store. Easy peasy. Below, you’ll find my first video tutorial on Missalaneyus.com,…

    When I was a little girl, my mother and I made May Day baskets every year. I thought this was something everyone did, but I later found out it might not be that common, so here’s a quick run down. Basically, you roll paper into cones and fashion a little paper handle to create a…

    There’s something about whipping up an at-home beauty remedy that makes me feel like I’m in sixth grade at my best friend’s house trying on make-up and practicing new ways to do hair.

    When Keegan and I first moved to Kansas City, I had absolutely no money. So, when Christmas came around, I didn’t have the budget to buy beautiful stockings. I only had the cash to craft ours with cheap stockings, felt and lots of glitter (the cure-all for all crafts gone wrong). This beautiful photo was taken by Megan. Since…

    Today, I whipped up a little banana mask up in my quest for great DIY beauty. Designed for oily skin, I thought it would be perfect for me. I keep ripe bananas frozen in my freezer and used one for this recipe. Please do not do this. Use a fresh one instead. The mask works…

    After my post about a dark lip, I thought I should share a recipe I found for a lip scrub over at Petite Elefant. Having something like this in your back pocket is critical to pulling off any of the bold lip colors popular for fall. I also have a feeling it will come in handy…
