Simple Transformation of iPhone/iPad Chargers

Apple Charger Duck Tape Transformation

It is a beautiful Sunday in Seattle and today is the day that I have ended the iPhone and iPad charger craziness at home. My hubby will no longer be able to claim my chargers as his, or neither will I... Does that happen at your house, too? If so, there is a super easy solution to this problem. Buy a piece of duck tape (mine is from Joann's Fabric store) or a washi tape, and cover all parts of the chargers.
I picked the color hot pink for two reasons; 1- I love pink! It matches to my devices well as you can see and 2- My husband doesn't like pink so, he is less likely want to take my chargers. All the great reasons to go with pink!! Don't you agree?

Frida Kahlo Halloween Costume DIY

Frida Kahlo Outfit DIY

I had a fantastic Halloween this year and dressed up like the famous Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. I based my fun homemade costume on one of her self portraits with her colorful flower crown. Here is what I wore:

1- Handmade flower crown with mixed artificial flowers. I used this tutorial.

2- Lots of statement jewelry in gold, turquoise, green and red coral

3- Red lipstick

4- Red nail polish

5- Red shawl

5- A traditional Mexican embroidered top I bought during my last visit to Mexico

6- A colorful fabric belt

7- A black ruffled skirt that I sew a short yellow pom pom at hem

8- Black eyeliner for drawing the uni-brow and lots of eye make-up

9- Heavy red blush for my cheeks

10- Black suede boots

For the hair, I made two simple braids and wrapped the braids high on my head, just like Frida does. The large flower crown covered most of the braids, which got the most attention of all the costume. I picked a short skirt for a dance party but, you might consider a full length skirt in order to resemble Frida. The costume was easy, inexpensive, and so much fun to make and wear. Cheers and happy (belated) Halloween to you all!
