The holidays are finally here you guys! My kids have been driving me nuts about getting the Christmas decorations up, so last night I finally got the lights outside up and my new mantle decorated...
I haven't painted my mantle yet because I am not sure what color. Any ideas?
This weeks training has been kind of slow. I have kept up my running streak and have done 1 mile a day but that's it. So my training this week has been a total of 4 miles. LOL! After finally ending football this past weekend, I went straight into stage mom mode. My daughter is in the play Babes in Toyland, here at the Saenger Theater this week. We have had dress rehearsals every night plus she has had swim practice. AHHHHHHH! Her show only runs for 2 days, so after Friday we are done. I am super excited about seeing her perform...
She is in blue and red polka dot top and red skirt. This is her first play. I think I am more nervous than she is. Go figure! LOL! Then on Saturday we head to Biloxi MS for a big swim meet. I AM SOOOOO TIRED! However I LOVE my kids and that they love sports.
I wanted to show you guys an awesome DIY teacher gift we are doing this year. I have been reviewing the new Dasani drops for a Fitfluential campaign and they are great. I have been putting them in EVERYTHING from water to greek yogurt to the new Dasani Sparkling water. So I thought why not make Dasani Drops lip gloss...
All you need is Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline), a cute container, edible glitter, and your favorite Dasani Drops flavor. I chose Pineapple Coconut. Also if you are wanting the same bottles I used, I got them at Hobby Lobby in the craft section. They have a lot of mini glass containers to choose from.
In a glass container melt enough Petroleum Jelly in the microwave to fill your container. I melted it at 1 minute increments and stirred until it was completely melted. Then add Dasani Drops. I added 2 full squeezes. Its completely up to you. Stirred until it was completely dissolved. It will take a little while stirring because of it being hot. After it is fully mixed, add edible glitter, stir, and than pour into your containers. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes or until it is back in "jelly" form.
I bought initial stickers and cute ribbon and made them look super cute. I hope they like them.
The flavors you can make are endless. you can use drops or powdered koolaids. Here are some of the flavors we made...
I bought empty kids paint containers and jewelry holders to make Cadences friends their own mini lip glosses...
If you decide to make these, I would love to see pictures of the flavors you chose.
After this week, life will slow down and I can get back to my training. YAYYYY! Until then I am going to enjoy my kids, my husband, and my new flavored EXTRA gum...
ALL PUMPKIN ALL DAY!
