Spread The Word ... Talk With Your Hands

There are so many different ways that people raise awareness for breast cancer. Whether you participate in a walk, run, or ride, donate to a charity, wear pink, etc... there are many opportunities to show your support. Today I want to show you a fun little way to get involved in the fight and to show your support simply by "talking with your hands." Join me in getting the conversation started with a Pink Ribbon manicure...

Start by painting your nails pink (of course!) and your ring finger nails white. Did you know that Essie Nail Polish has an entire Breast Cancer Awareness Collection?! Well they do... 31 shades of pink for each day in October! Any one of those colors will work for this manicure.


Just to add to the fun, give your ring fingers a pink french tip.


Here's the tricky part... you'll need a steady hand! Using a toothpick draw a little pink ribbon on the white of your nail. I actually used a light colored paint pen to draw the ribbon first as a guide and then used the toothpick and nail polish for the final design. Since the polish for the ribbon  might be a little thick, I recommend letting it dry for more time than usual then apply a clear top coat.


I think with all forms of raising awareness, you should be informed of what you're actually supporting. I suggest that you head over to the Pink Ribbon website to learn a little bit more about what they're all about. And remember who we're doing this for...

DIY Reversible Neon Heels

Oxfords have been in fashion for a few seasons now, and if you have stayed tuned with the different DIY blogs, pimping them with neon soles is a trend. I absolutely love the look, but I don’t know if I am ready to go all in to permanently change my favorite pair. So I am digging out my current love affair (colored duck tape) and making a reversible pair. Get your duck tape on and follow my lead.
1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 
colored duck tape, utility knife
Start on the inside of your shoe (for the least visible joint) and tape all the way around the sole. Make sure the edge of the tape is parallel with the edge of the sole. Then take a utility knife and follow the edge of the sole with, cutting of the excess tape.
I followed almost the same procedure to make my reversible neon heeled pumps. It's the same feeling, I love the trend and the look, but I'm not ready to part with a fav pair of pumps and make them neon forever. You can only use neon heeled shoes so many times before you over do it, and with this method you can switch up the color and remove it when you are sick of it!
Do you love it?
