D.I.Y. penny and calorie saver...

Feb 23, 2014

Yup DIY (do-it-yourself) is an AWESOME tool ... a penny saver and a calorie saver ... whether it is a major home improvement DIY project or a fun filled DIY grooming project ... after all busy hands stay out the pot no??? well mine do teeeeeeeeeee heeeeeee... plus I just LOVE LOVE LOVE anything DIY .... not only do I love making things but I also love saving pennies along the way.  Today was a totally DIY day as I spent a leisure day at home resting up after a busy week at work... at the shop and life in general ... I do need more hours in the day ... My DIY is ongoing ... last week I finished my tiny dress that I plan to wear on a weekend trip back home to visit my sister ... where it is cold here it is scorching in Panama...

From my DIY hairpieces and extensions to my DIY dress I made last week I am working my fingers to the quick as I am saving to upgrade my Brother Project Runway sewing machine to an awesome newer model cause a sista has to sew ya know????...

Today was another DIY day ... I filled, painted, UV gelled my own nails ... as I have been doing all along ... saving pennies along the way ... I figure if I can paint on canvas I can paint my own darn nails TEEEEEEE HEEEEEEEEE.... with my artist acrylic paint that I paint on canvas with at that ... and with awesome coat of gel sparkle and clear drying gel... and I am good to go ...

I love the weirdness too... this is the end product...my DYI nails ... I had them in ultramarine blue last week.... totally goofy ... like me...

This is my week in pictures...

I spent awesome time with my toy poodles ... my Pierretta will be having a litter 2 weeks from now... I can't wait...

and while I type my goofy snippets in my empowerment journal lil' Chip my all chocolate toy poodle keeps me company...

This is a totally goofy snippet ... DIY does keep the mind busy... creates fun and even complex things/projects ... and keeps cravings at bay ... at least for me ... 7 years post RNY and maintaining.... I track it all in my digital empowerment journal "A PICTURE A DAY KEEPS THE POUNDS AND INCHES AWAY"...

BEFORE AND TODAY.....

Thanks for allowing me to share SNIPPETS of my journey....
