 Neutral boho beach bags are so popular during summer! They are lovely because they are neutral and very versatile. This bag was super easy to make and I used Dollar Tree rugs to make it. (If you want to skip directly to the video of how to make this click HERE) The one you see in the image above is actually a 3 IN 1 purse where you can wear it THREE DIFFERENT WAYS! First you need a base, I got a bag from my local dollar store which you can also find at Walmart for very inexpensive price. Usually they are multi colored and random. Then i got 3 Dollar tree carpets (pic below) which I cut to size and glued them all over the bag.   These carpets are available at Dollar Tree all year round and are actually 100% cotton from India which is fantastic! Once the purse was covered up completely I took rope and wrapped it around the top to layer up the purse some more. I also added a tassel and glued a dolly to the outside of the purse to give it a little more of a BOHO look which is totally optional!
Check out the FULL tutorial HERE I hope you have a FUNtastic beach day with this beauty! XOXO Maria Hi My Loves! Summer is just around the corner, and I want you to have some "WOW" ideas for your company with these trendy looks!. Have you seen my latest video on patio décor? If not - click HERE I go through some before and after videos on how to decorate for your Patio season to be a real hit, and take you on a tour of my small patio space. The trick to any space is to have breezy type of furniture that are neutral that are your base. After you covered the base furniture you can add your WOW pieces to it. Not only is that option the less expensive way but also it allows you to improve your style over time and change things up if you get bored without breaking the bank. The trends for 2021 is all about breezy natural coastal decors with a touch of minimalism. I think that over the year 2020 it really transformed the way people look at their living spaces and really encouraged people to have things that they truly need around them instead of over barging with useless things. With that being said, I still like my bits of neutral with a WOW pillow or happy colors then add some bling! I also made a small tray using dollar tree items to make a solid black and white tray that can hold a small flower plant and some cups.  I made other awesome and easy DIYS using Dollar Tree items to really take the look even further!
So get those cocktails ready my loves and as I always say "Play Away" XOXO Maria Kuna  Seriously the cutest eggs ever! Talk about using and re-using everything up! I made these cute décor eggs using literally left over eggs from breakfast and an old candle. These are so simple yet unique to make to decorate your table for Easter. Whether you are having company over or not - these are super cute and special to display. The kids can help too! This is a modern way to upcycle left overs and have a conversation piece lit up in the middle of your room!
For this you will need a couple eggs that are cracked in half (wash them, and fully allow to dry)
I wish you a happy Easter, and hope you enjoy some relaxing time with your families while having egg DIY candles! xoxo Maria  Well here we are... welcome to 2021! I hope one of your New Years resolutions included some Detoxing after all that food, and drink! I know we all dread that "diet talk" so this is NOT it! I just wanted to go through some simple ways that I help "clean" my body and give it a cleansing boost.
Basic Green Juice: this will help boost up your metabolism, and give you additional vitamin support during your cleanse. What you need:
Green vegetables are overloaded with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Eating a healthy portion of greens every day can help protect you from many diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer. Many scientist have also proven that it can also help you live longer. I drink this every morning to help my body cleanse, and stay healthy and give my body a boost that it needs to ensure I am healthy and at my optimum metabolism. Especially after certain holidays I do like to indulge and I definitely need a boost. Let me know which recipes you like to use or if you have done this one before! XOXO Maria Kuna  Although 2020 was all about working from home and wearing "comfy clothes" that business on top and PJ on the bottom for virtual meetings will most likely continue for a bit longer. That doesn't mean you can't still look cute going grocery shopping though. I went to Walmart and checked out their new fashion looks for 2021 and I have some HOT tips for you to not only save money but also things you may have not thought about before. Watch the full video HERE
The 2021 fashion season begins in just about a week and I want to make sure you know what's going down! Let me break it down for you lovelies: 1) We are going into pastel tones- so pretty much peaches, camels, neutrals, and beiges. Those pastels are light airy and are good investments because neutrals are so easily matched with many other clothing pieces you already may have. 2) Oversized tops, and jackets are staying with us, and THANK GOD for that! That extra quarantine weight needs to be covered up somehow. The cutenessness of the "boyfriend jacket look" is not only super adorable but totally on trend. 3) White everything is coming back! So not just after labor day you can rock the white all year round. Investing in a white hand bag is an easy task that can be rocked for either a fun summer party or a winter wonderland. 4) Head Scarves are back in style ya'll! So we can all Bonnie and Clyde it up! Get a beautiful peach or even leopard print scarf and just wrap that head, and jump into a convertible and you are set to go! Square head scarves are the easiest to work with and the most popular. They offer many styling options and are more manageable than oblong scarves for most women. 5) BOHO everything! THIS IS MY JAM over here! So I'm thrilled .. I already have a collection of boho tribal style Aztec beautiful pattern clothing (even when it wasn't in style lol) Whites and neutrals are here as well - this is why I say BOHO. 6) Pops of Blue clothing is really coming out as well. If you ever have been to Greece the white and ocean blue is everywhere and it is to die for. A lot of people have incorporated these ocean blues into their Christmas Decors this year and it is just fantastic. Look for white and blue blouses, deep blue cotton shirts, traditional blue jeans with a white top is a classic but in style this year. I hope you have got some inspiration and ideas from the top trends that I have gathered up for 2021. Don't forget to watch my Walmart Haul Video HERE Where I share tips and tricks to save money and live better. I guarantee you will get some great hacks from watching that video.!  I have a new video on how to wrap a gift for Christmas this year of 2020. I feel like this video was needed for many people as this year is kind of on lock down and many stores may not be offering this service anymore due to limiting the spread of "germs", I made a simple DIY tutorial on how to wrap your gifts or presents for 2020 using items that you can find at a Dollar Tree, Dollar Store, Walmart, or even Amazon. Although many people have struggled to wrap a gift especially when it is shaped in a strange way - I have a solution for you that is not only simple but kind of like a "How to wrap a present for Dummies" kind of way. Now I am not being rude at all! It took me many moons to wrap a gift like a pro, but I did not go all the way to show you the many different ways. I simplified it and used basic tools necessary for you to get the job done!. Click HERE for the full tutorial.
When it comes to gifts, there are so many options to choose from. Like any wise man would say "spending money is easy - but saving money is hard". I think that when you get older getting gifts that are custom made to the people you know and love is so much more special. In my video i share DIY gift ideas from the dollar store that won't cost you an arm and a leg but will give the people you love something special without breaking the bank. Check out my video HERE and let me know what you think is your favorite.  I'm so happy that you are able to join me on this journey of saving money and living fabulously for less.
