Scrunchies. I love them. They're useful, pretty, and just so convenient. I always have one in my bag, and probably another in my hair or on my wrist. 

I personally really enjoy this DIY - each scrunchie takes no more than 15 minutes to make, but the final product looks store bought! The easiest part is that none of the measurements are exact, so it's a perfect way to get rid of some scrap fabric and elastic. My elastic (0.5" wide) was slightly fatter than I would have preferred, but the scrunchie turned out well, regardless.

I'm a huge fan of homemade beauty products. They aren't as wallet-friendly as other DIY's, but they're easy to make, and you know exactly what you're putting into it, and later, onto your skin. 

This lavender soap smells amazing, and is a wonderful gift.

Of course, we can't forget the classic, but versatile rose water.

I love the idea of using rose in other products, like in this rose body scrub.

Christmas season might be over, but I'm not ready to give up peppermint just yet. It's perfect in this foot scrub for year-round soft feet.

Rice water cleanser is incredibly easy to make and leaves your face feeling soft and tight.

I love using hair bows. They're fun, cute, and give my outfits personality. As much as I adore the massive bow clips from American Apparel, the designs are rather limited, and quite pricey. 

Fortunately, I can expand my hair bow collection with this quick DIY. Fabric quarters are perfect for this project - each bow only requires a small amount of fabric - so have fun choosing the patterns!

To see how I wear my bows, check out my How to Wear Hair Bows tutorial. Happy crafting!
