HAPPY HALLOWEEN!






Rice Krispie Treat pumpkins

Happy HALLOWEEN from US!
Here is a totally cute HALLOWEEN treat recipe from us to you, enjoy!


This recipe is for Rice Krispie Treat pumpkins!


What you need:



  • Rice Krispies
  • Red/yellow food coloring to make orange
  • Butter
  • Vanilla extract
  • White marshmellows

I just followed the traditional Recipe to make the rice krispie treats, nothing fancy.

Melt 3 tbsp. butter on Med. heat pan
Add ½ tsp. vanilla extract and 5 cups marshmellows
Stir until the marshmellows are completely melted.
Add food coloring until you’ve made your desired orange.
Stir in 6 cups of Rice Krispies


Let it cool, and when it has cooled down enough spray some Pam on your hands and make some pumpkin shapes out of your batch.  



Now just do it to the whole batch ( you can make big or little pumkins)



For decoration you can use anything.  You can use M&M’s for eyes, candy corn or whatever you desire.  This would be a REALLY fun Halloween treat for kids to help you make while they wait for nighttime to arrive.

I, however, melted some Hershey chocolate to decorate top part, and some knock-off Nutella to put eyes and a mouth. 



Be so careful when melting the chocolate.  I put mine in a pan over the stove and let heat for maybe 3 minutes over med. heat.  Chocolate melts fast, and can burn even faster.



Then you decorate! Put on faces!





And there you go!  HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

SMILE LIKE YOU MEAN IT

It’s a new week and like every Monday, at Home, Hair & Heels we like to cheer you up and make you forget those Monday blues.



Remember my last inspiration post? Probably not, so let me remind you that one of the things I mentioned was to smile. Recently, I read some pretty interesting facts about smiling, so I decided to share them with you as a reminder of all the positive effects a simple movement of the muscles in our face can have:


Forcing yourself to smile can boost your mood
It boosts your immune system: Your body is more relaxed when you smile, which contributes to good health and a stronger immune system.
 Smiles are contagious: In a study conducted in Sweden, people had difficulty frowning when they looked at other subjects who were smiling, and their muscles twitched into smiles all on their own.
 Smiles relieve stress
It’s easier to smile than to frown: Scientists have discovered that your body has to work harder and use more muscles to frown than it does to smile. 
 It’s a universal sign of happiness
We still smile at work: 30% of subjects in a research study smiled five to 20 times a day, and 28% smiled over 20 times per day at the office.
Smiles use from 5 to 53 facial muscles
Babies are born with the ability to smile: scientists believe that all babies are born with the ability, since even blind babies smile.


Smiling helps you get promoted: Smiles make a person seem more attractive, sociable and confident, and people who smile more are more likely to get a promotion.
  Smiles are the most easily recognizable facial expression


 Women smile more than men
Smiles are more attractive than makeup: A research study conducted by Orbit Complete discovered that 69% of people find women more attractive when they smile than when they are wearing makeup.


There are 19 different types of smiles
Babies start smiling as newborns: babies start smiling in their sleep as soon as they’re born.


Also, on a side note, if you have dimples, you NEED to smile, no questions asked. I’m particularly partial to single-dimpled crooked smiles, so if you have one of those, work it! You don’t know who may fall for you…
There you have it.  Need I say more? Not only is it healthy, helpful and attractive but we all have so many reasons to smile every single day!



With lots of love and yours truly,
Sam

DO SOMETHING WITH YOUR OLD SWEATER

This DIY is a personal FAV:

It’s called DSWTOS (Do something with that old sweater)

Turn that old sweater into one of those adorable decorative sweaters that swarm your Pinterest home page. (or at least they do mine!)

This DIY takes:
  • Beads
  • Thread/needle
  • Sweater

So, here is my old sweater:



First, take your bead, and thread it into your desired place.  I did mine like polkadot style.
You can either mark where you want to place your beads, or eye-ball it, like I did.



Just do your simple- learned in YW sewing. Thread your needle, tie a knot, thread your bead, tie a knot again.



And repeat, and repeat.



Keep sewing them on in the same pattern, the same lengths apart.



Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnddd keep going haha



Put a polo or a button up underneath to spice it up.  And there you go!! A perfect fall sweater that is much more eye appealing!



 Good luck!! It’s an easy concept, but since it’s hand sewn, make sure you have some timeJ


From your one&only,
Rozslin
