Project DIY Review November 2013


Don't you guys just love making your own jewelry? I know I do! That's why I was super excited to find out about a new subscription service called Project DIY. Project DIY is a monthly subscription service that sends you all of the supplies to make your own jewelry. 


Cost: $30/month


This month's theme was "Joan of Arc". Each of the pieces that you are supposed to make are Joan of Arc themed, I absolutely love that theme! Older, vintage looking jewelry is definitely something that I am into.


The first thing that I saw was this canvas bag that said PROJECT DIY. Inside of it were 3 different types of pliers and a bag full of clasps for bracelets and necklaces. Sorry you can't see the baggie too well, I didn't realize there was a glare!


The next bag was a deep velvet color and it had a gold cuff inside of it. 


There were 2 kits inside of the box. This first box was for the shield necklace. It had all of the items that I needed to make this beautiful necklace:


Isn't that gorgeous? I absolutely love it! Hopefully I can make it look just as good as they did. According to the box, this necklace should take approximately 25 minutes to make!


The other box had all of the products that I needed to make the Warrior Cuff:


Now that is gorgeous. I love, love these older looking pieces of jewelry! They would match a lot of the things I wear on a day-to-day basis. 

So what do you think about Project DIY? I can see some companies charging $30 for just one of these pieces! I absolutely love it, I can't wait to see what their next collection will be!

    The cuff looks awesome! You'll have to share your results.

    That is a great idea! I love the warrior cuff - wearing it would make me feel invincible, especially if I made it. It is one way to find the time, because I find going to a class I feel I don't have the time, but if it comes in the mail to you, you're already home and have more time! Cheap, too! Wow!

Want to sell your old clothes? Poshmark.

If you have a bunch of clothes that you don't wear, then Poshmark is the best thing for you. Poshmark is an app on iPod, iPad and iPhone products. The app lets you post pictures of clothes, shoes, jewelry, etc. that you don't wear anymore. The items can be new with tags, new without tags and lightly worn (just don't try to post your old t-shirt with that pizza stain on it, I can promise you that nobody will buy it). Poshmark is a free application that you can get in the iTunes app store. As of right now, you cannot get the website on your computer. Unless, you have already signed up for an account on an iPad, iPod or iPhone. I signed up for Poshmark about a month and a half ago. Since then, I have sold over $3000 worth of stuff that I don't use anymore. I've sold shoes, jewelry, shirts, pants, sweaters, etc. The app is mostly geared towards women's and girl's/teen's items. Although, I have seen many people post men's and children's items. Th

Diamond Candles vs Prize Candles

Image
This week I'm trying a different type of post! Since I love subscription boxes, that means that I love surprises. So, of course I would love to try out surprise candles! I wanted to see which type of ring candle was better,  Diamond Candle  or  Prize Candle .  I got both candles in 2 different scents,  Prize Candle  was Blue Cypress and  Diamond Candle  was Be Mine (smells like wild berries, amber and roses). Each of the candles cost $25 a piece. Although,  Prize Candle  offers $10 your first purchase and  Diamond Candle  offers free shipping on orders $45 or more.  Inside both companies candles, there is a ring worth $10-$5,000.  First, the shipping. I ordered both candles the same night, within 15 minutes of each other.  Prize Candle  came 2 days before  Diamond Candle  did. My  Prize Candle  came pretty dirty though, I had to clean off the glass container because in had candle wax all over the sides. My  Diamond Candle  came in perfect condition thou

Giveaway!

Hey Everyone! So it was really hard for me to decide which subscription box to give you all a giveaway for. Most of you said that you wanted to enter a drawing for  Glossybox . So I was going to make the prize a 3-month subscription to Glossybox . But then I thought, well what if the winner wants something different? So I am going to leave the prize open-ended for you guys. The Prize: The winner gets to choose what they want. It can be anything that has up to a $60 value (since a 3-month subscription to Glossybox costs around $60). So that means that the winner can get a 3-month subscription to  Julep ,  Glossybox  etc. Or a 6-month subscription to Ipsy , Birchbox , etc. It doesn't even have to be a subscription to a subscription-box! It could be a $60 gift card to Target, Sephora, Gap, Visa, etc. Or even an item(s) that you've been eyeing for months but just haven't gotten around to buying. Seriously, it can ANYTHING that you choose with a value of up to $60! So what
