Working Harder

Don't ever, ever, believe anyone who tells you that you can just get by, by doing the easiest thing possible. Because there's always somebody behind you who really wants to do what you're doing. And they're going to work harder than you if you're not working hard.
- Maria Bartiromo

I think this quote sums up everything that I am trying to fight for over the past few years.

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

Starting New Hobbies

I cannot remember the last time that I have painted something realistic and to be honest, I was really afraid to see how it would turn out. I took my time with the BMW M235i painting and it took me a total of four days to complete the painting. After feeling completely thrilled over how the painting turned out, I decided to challenge myself a little further and paint a Lamborghini Huracan. I am glad that I did as it is turning out the way I had hoped it would. I will be sure to post the finished results when I find the perfect neon green paint to complete the supercar. Do you have a new hobby that you have started? If so, do let me know in the comments down below!

DIY: Colorful Tissue Box

I do not know about you guys, but I am quite a cry baby (in both a good and bad way). I tend to cry when I laugh too hard and I tend to cry when I am really stressed out. Regardless what the reason is behind my tears, I go through a lot of tissues. With that being said, I wanted to create a cover that I can reuse when I finish a box of tissues!

The only items you will need for this DIY are:

• An empty tissue box
• Embroidery thread
• Elmer’s Glue
• Hot glue gun
• Felt

Here are the instructions:

1. Cut the top of the tissue box off (where you would usually get the tissues out of)
2. Cut a small square on the bottom of the tissue box so you can pull tissues out of it
3. Start covering the sides of the tissue box with embroidery thread making sure to apply and spread some regular glue to prevent the thread from moving around
4. Decorate the top of your tissue box with any felt design you like. I chose to make a cupcake frosting design with bits of hot glue drops as sprinkles

Now you can slip the tissue box cover over other tissue boxes! I think this is a fun DIY to do just because you can change the design out whenever you feel like it without breaking the bank.
