bachelorette party DIYs

This past weekend I took my monthly trip to my old home of Morgantown, WV for my girl's bachelorette party! It was the first time I've been to a bachelorette since college, so I wanted to actually help out this time. I decided to take it upon myself to create some bar fun. 

A couple years back I remember someone asking me to help them with a photo hunt of sorts. They had a list of things they had to complete that sounded so fun! That was a must. 

I created this one. Each color was a different number of points, from 1-4, in order of black, pink, silver and gold. Some were generic and some were personal to the couple.


It's kind of plain, but I printed them out on sparkly paper that I got at Michael's and they looked perfect. The prize was a simple martini glass filled with condoms and airplane bottles. That's what's important for such parties, right?!?

Unfortunately, everyone was drunk enough by the time we got out that I was the only one that really went for it. Got a lot of the items, got on the mic to do a toast and ask for more.... basically called game over from the beginning.

I should learn to be less intense sometimes.... maybe.

On Pinterest, I saw these personalized tats that were perfect. They said you had to order them from Etsy, but I decided to research a DIY version. Turns out, all you need to do is order tattoo paper for like $3 a sheet and, as the bride said, YOU HAVE ENDLESS FUN! 

They printed out kinda blurry because I didn't make the Photoshop file big enough, but they still looked great once they were transferred on!


With the other sheet, I made some fun ones to define us in a way. For the bride, the bridesmaids, and the single people who can do all the real penis activities that night. [If you ever want to print these out yourself, you have to use the backwards one.. which is why I'm sharing it.]


Because I'm classy, I put mine on my neck. 


They came right off the next morning, almost like a sticker. Pretty sweet. I think I'll be ordering more of this paper. All you do is print it out, put the adhesive on, and BAM! PARTY TIME, YO!


It was a prettyyyy solid weekend that made me feel like a cougar around all the younger college kids but also like I can still hang with all of them.

What I've needed to come to terms with is that you keep your damn mouth shut when it's the Bachelorette's weekend. What she wants to do, you do. Whether that be raging, napping, eating all the things, etc etc. I'm so used to planning activities that sometimes it's hard for me not to suggest things.

I'm growing up..... like .02% a day.

gingerfest is real



Okay, so maybe it's not called "Gingerfest," but there really is a festival for redheads.

It's in Holland and every year natural-born redheads come together and celebrate their beauty.... or gingerness... On Redhead Day.

Apparently they get individual photo shoots and lectures about being a redhead, but who really cares about all that?! Just look at the proof:





Apparently 4,000 people were in attendance last year. Woah. Those gingers... They never cease to amaze me.

I'll be sure to fund a trip for my ginger ex-roommate to go once I become rich and famous.

lauren conrad's fall line is fanfreakingtastic

I used to buy my entire wardrobe from Kohl's... Until everyone made fun of me, especially my hickey contest havin' and ginger ex-roommate BFFs.

Then, just like magic, my girl LC made it cool again with her line.

It's freakin' awesome. If you love her style as much as I do, you'll love her line. It's very her. I've gotten a bunch of stuff [when it's on sale] and I pretend that I am her on the days I wear it.

Anyway, her new additions have been released and I'm obsessed.






My faves:




I really wish I had a sugar daddy to help me afford these things. [Any takers- I'm normally a size M or S in her line, FYI] Seriously- I want every piece in this freakin' collection besides the leggings, but unless they go on a serious sale, I can't afford it. [The cheapest thing is around $22, and that's way over my budget.]

Maybe now's the time I start the style/bargain section of my blog. I've been steppin' up my game while still being cheap... I guess I should share my knowledge and try to recreate one of these outfits... Even though I'd much rather support her line.

love,

nifty: the carstache

So yesterday= balls hanging from your tow hitch.

These days you're cool if you have a Carstache. Yes. A mustache for your car.



If you think it's stupid, first of all- you're stupid, second of all- check out the descriptions. I think you'll change your mind. Plus, they have all sorts of colors! Even a ginger one! I think my ginger ex-roommate should get it pronto.



"In its mighty bristles is a lifetime of experience. It speaks of far off lands, loves lost and won, and bequeaths your car with a sophistication far beyond its years."




"Strut your stuff! Hot Pink is irresistibly individual, turning your car into a total babe. You are fabulous. You are hot. You are SO HOT. Ride on, girlfriend."




"Your heat is intense. You are molten. You are liquid hot magma. You are the match, that lit the torch, that set the 'stache on fire. YOU ARE FIRESTACHE."



It's official. I'm convinced. The EB-mobile needs one of these pronto. I'm thinking hot pink would go fabulously with the royal blue.

The price is totally worth it, too! $39?! Shooottt. That's pocket change for this broke girl. [Okay, now I'm getting outta hand.....]

You're welcome for keeping you in touch with the latest car fashions. That's what I'm here for.

love,

watch: top 60 ghetto black names

I was sitting with my ginger ex-roommate and hickey-contest-havin' friend this morning and they shared this video with me... And it's going to make you laugh.

Two random boys decided to come up with the Top 60 Ghetto/Black names and make a video to it. So, so great.



If you're not laughing, you're ridiculous. Their made up names are SO funny!

Some of my faves: Bon'Qui Qui, Sha'NayNay [obviously], Barackisha, Obamaniqua, Koolaidria, Watermelondria, Unidastazovamerikaliqua, and GUUUUURRRRLLLLLL!!

How do they remember how to say the super long ones!? I would totally mess it up.

Whatever, though. It's funny. [And no, not meant to be racist so don't anyone try and attack me for posting this and thinking it's hilarious.]

And to Mr. "She'll probably blog about it all day," you are absolutely right. I did. But let's not get out of control... I wouldn't waste a whole day talking about a ginger ex-roommate.

love,
elizabethany
