DIY: Dry Shampoo Spray

Dry shampoo. Have you tried it? Its what you use when you need to wash your hair yet don't have time to take a shower. I think everyone has encountered this dilemma once or twice.

Today, I'm going to teach you my rendition with 3 simple ingredients you should already have. If you don't, then they can be found in any grocery store.

This recipe came to my mind a couple days ago when I realized my hair needed a spruce up, yet I didn't have the time for an actual hair washing. It felt like a AHA! moment, as a little lightbulb turned on in my head. 

I have to say that this Dry Shampoo isn't dry at all. But like the name says, it's a spray. I kept the dry part in because its a familiar name/product and it gives the same results.

What you need:

1 tbsp of cornstarch

4 tbsp of water

1 tbsp of rubbing alcohol ( I used ethyl, found it at Walgreens) 

small measuring glass, cup, bowl...whatever.

a small spray bottle (shown in first picture)

Mix it all together, pour it into your spray bottle and shake it up!

To Use:

Spray in on your scalp, in your hair and anywhere the your hair needs to be de-greased. You do not need to drench your scalp, just dampen it up. 

Side note: cover or close your eyes, alcohol in eyes is not fun. Also, if you don't like to the use of alcohol in your hair products( i.e. hairspray) then this DIY might not be for you.

Run a comb or your fingers through your hair to distribute it evenly.

Let it air dry or quickly blast your scalp with a hair dryer, which is my favorite method. We are going for speed here. 

Repeat if necessary.

 All done. Rejoice! you can go another day without washing your hair, and no one will notice.

Why it works,

Both alcohol and cornstarch are de-greasers. Cornstarch does not dissolve fast so you will notice that after the water has evaporated the cornstarch will still remain. Pretty neat, huh!

I hope you like this. Let me know how this worked out for you. 

After-thought: I only recommend using this at max once a week. You know, for the day you really should've taken a shower but didn't. We've all been there.I'm also working on a couple of different versions of that don't include the alcohol, so stay tuned, or come back again. 

Trending- Big Flowers on Pillows

From Bedbugs

I have been seeing these big flowered pillows everywhere. So eye catching its hard not to notice them. 

From Buffalovely

 They add a little bit of whimsy to the house decor. Every body needs a little whimsy in their house decor, I think.

From UrbanFringe

I love how the flower gets reinvented all the time. I predict its going to be wall art next! *working on it*;)

On a side note. I changed my comment format to a different one, because I have been getting complaints that people weren't able to leave comments. In doing this, the new format has apparently erased all my previous comments. Does anyone know how to get them back?

I have finally been able to do a decent photo shoot of my niece in her newest hat that i've made for her. It originally was suppose to be the lamby hat, But I loved the vintage vibe I was getting from the design that I just left it as is.

I bought her a prop (aka the soft spiky ball)  and she LOVED it. It was mostly in her mouth the whole time she had it, I finally had to take it away so I could get some decent photo's in. I honestly think I could only get maybe 15-20 minutes in with trying to take good pictures. She was wiggly, distracted and cared more about touching grass and putting bark chips in here mouth.

Can you tell she loves to swing?

I love the fact that you can easily dress up the hat with a clip on flower. Instant Glam. I'm going to be working on the crochet pattern for the hat soon, I'm making a big girl one too (for myself of course!) You can find the pattern for the flower in my shop here.

In the month of October

I've been:


Baking, cooking, eating, cleaning


I made 6 batches of play dough. Gifted some to a friend and her kids only to find out she made play dough the very same day I did. 
She liked mine because I made it with Kool aid. Smells great, tastes bad...as it should. There are so many recipe's for playdough. Here's the one  I used.

I finally logged on to Pinterest ....and haven't left since. 


I was super busy in my shop for Halloween. It was quite a rush. 


Speaking of Halloween, hubby and I went to a dress up party for his work. I was a sushi. It was epic, in a sushi kind of way.


And that is what I've been up to lately.
