DIY | Flintstones bone necklace

Here's a fun, little DIY project that I wanted to share with you guys. I've always had a thing for The Flintstones and that whole cavewoman look, especially if it's in a more cartoon-ish and not so serious way. Kinda like Jeremy Scott's SS10 collection, which was just perfect. Anyway, something about brown beads and nylon string kinda offends me, so here's a quick DIY on how to turn cheap halloween jewelry into actual, wearable accessories (if you're into this sort of style, of course!)

What you will need:
Bone jewelry set
Silver chain necklace
Black magic marker

Remove the nylon string from the face of earth and paint the brown beads black with your magic marker. They will need to dry for a bit, otherwise they can stain the plastic bones. And well, your fingers. I used a bobby pin to hold the beads so my hands wouldn't get all black and magic marker-y. 

Arrange the bones and the beads nicely - meaning turn the bones the right way, so the ''made in China'' logo won't show, since this was obviously too big a job for the manufacturer to handle themselves - and also take one long bone from one of the bracelets that comes with the jewelry set and put in on the chain.

And there you have it. Your very own, very fancy bone necklace. Perfect for.. Well, people who's into kitchy things and may or may not be cavewoman/stoneage/Flintstones obsessed. I'm saving the rest of the extra bones for future DIY's and also use the earrings that come with the set for everyday wear - all I did to those was changing them from clip-on earrings to having a hook. So much more comfortable now that they don't squeeze my poor ears.

Yummy mixed salad & homemade dressing

I have been eating waaay too much dark bread the past few days so my tiny hangover made me crave real food. I pretty much emptied the fridge for ingredients and now I'm pretty much too full to move. What I used -

A handful fresh kale, some pea shoots, two tomatoes, one red oninion, the tip of a red chili pepper, half an apple, one garlic and some pepper.

For the dressing I mixed mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, some garlic, pepper, chilli, paprika and then I squeezed some lemon in too. Not very healthy, but much needed before getting ready for tonight!

Small DIY home decoration idea

A few weeks back I had some time to kill while waiting for the bus and decided to spend it in a cute little secondhand shop where I found this picturebook on how to do flower decorations. It had loads of pretty photos and I decided to make it into a DIY home decor project - do you guys remember my vintage barbie photos? I want to do something similar with these photos for my new apartment. I love doing kitchy little projects like this, since it's a lot more personal and cheap than actually buying pre-made stuff for your walls! Now I just need more frames that I can paint mint green.

Homemade avocado facemask

Tonight we had a lovely avocado salad for dinner and since there were a few avocados left I decided to make a homemade facemask out of them - I always love spending sundays without plans doing something nice to pamper myself like long baths, facemasks, hairtreatments and so on. This is super easy to do and doesn't cost a lot, so I just wanted to share it with you guys. Oh and obviously a lovely no-makeup-green-shit-on-ma-face-photo as well!

All you need is 1 avocado, a few spoons of plain yoghurt and a little honey.
Mash the avocado with a fork, add the yoghurt and honey and mix it together until it gets sort of sticky, then remove all makeup from your face, rinse with hot water and just dry off your face with a towel. Leave the facemask on for about and hour and then rinse it off and your face will feel wonderful and refreshed! There's a lot of wonderful vitamins and fibers in avocados and I love that this is super affordable.

You could also switch up the ingredients a bit and add bananas or use hot water instead of plain yoghurt - it's all up to you ♥
