“You Have Lipstick on Your Teeth” Book Review
Have you heard of "You Have Lipstick on Your Teeth"? Oh. Em. Gee. This book is hilarious! Here's a tip... gather up with your girlfriends and organize a book-night party or something like that :) Trust me, they are going to love it! This book is just like if you were talking with your best friend. There may be stories that you can relate to, but I'm sure most of stories will sound like something you can't even imagine would happen! Like I said, just like talking with your best friend.
This book collects stories from 39 women. If you have visited their blogs, you may have an idea on what to expect. They share stories about relationships, motherhood, body changes, everything about being a woman! My favorite stories are "I Have a Dress Problem", "The (Not So) High Price of Fashion" and "Act Like You've Got Sense... Like a Mafia Don". I love the way the authors connect with you on every single story. Sometimes I even felt like I was there with them when it happened!
From cover to cover, this book will make you laugh, cry and giggle like a crazy person-- Gustavo looked at me with wide-open eyes. Lol. But he was not the only one who stared at me, my mom also did... well, everyone who was sitting near me!
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
You can order your book at Amazon today. By the way, this could be a great gift for your bestie ;)

DIY: Thread + Charm Bracelets
My little sister says she's my #1 fan. Isn't she cute? Every time I'm making something, she always wants to be the first one to try it. She loves handmade things as much as I do! She always wear the bracelets I've made her to school. One of her favorites is the thread & charm bracelet. Every time I get a new charm she likes, that means another bracelet I have to make her. So yeah, she has a lot of those bracelets :)
Anyways, since today is my little sister's birthday, I decided to show you how to make her favorite bracelets.

Step 1: You need 24 inches of thread. You may need more or less thread, it all depends on your wrist size. Bend the thread on the middle and add a jump ring.
Step 2: Hold both ends of the thread together and make a knot, as shown on the photo.
Step 3: After making the knot, you will have the thread together like if there was 2 threads. You need to leave a small space and then add a charm. {When leaving the space, you can check it on your wrist... the jump ring will be under the wrist, and the charm will be over the wrist-- in the middle of the wrist, like any other bracelet.}
Step 4: Now you have to make another knot, like in step 2, but this time it will be on the charm.
Step 5: After adding the charm, you need to find the other half of the thread and make a knot. Leave a small piece of thread after the knot, and cut the rest of the thread.
Step 6: Add a cord end cap at the end, as shown in the photo.
Step 7: Add a clasp, and you are done!
What's your favorite color when it comes to bracelets? As you can see, my little sister LOVE brilliant colors!
