Crockpot Barbecue Chicken

My favorite kind of meals are those made in the crockpot! When I left for school one of the best gifts I received was my crockpot. My mom always used to make barbecue chicken when I was growing up and it was always one of my absolute favorite meals to eat! So the first meal I ever made in my crockpot was barbecue chicken. This recipe is my moms, but I tweaked it a little. It is so easy and oh so yummy. I hope if you try to make it, that you will enjoy it just as much as I do!

Chalkboard DIY:

When I first moved into my apartment I knew the one thing I wanted to decorate with was a chalkboard!!! After months of searching for the perfect one I gave up and decided I wanted to make my own. Every one I found was either way to expensive or not the size I was looking for. So therefor I came up with my first "DO IT YOURSELF" project for the apartment. After loads of research I came up with this:

  I purchased a frame from Hobby Lobby and bought a board 

from and got it cut at Home Depot:

First step is to pick the color for the frame, I chose red

and spray painted it:

Next paint the board with chalkboard paint, this paint 

is the best to use:

After that place the black board into the frame (Home

Depot will cut it perfectly to fit into the frame):

I had so much fun making this one that I decided to make and sell them! If you are interested you can buy one HERE on my Etsy account! I am already working on some for my friends! If interested please buy one... If not hopefully this DIY will help you. Any other ideas on how to make a chalkboard? Comment below!

Summertime at last!

So now that summer is finally here I am totally stoked for the new summer wear that is out! I have posted some of my favorite things that I have my eye on. For me, this summer is all about colors! Now, for those of you college gals like me we have to shop on a budget! Therefor, I found most of my favorite things in a budget at my fav store TARGET! I do not think I have been in there one time without buying something.... I have included the direct links to each item! Anyways here are a few of my favorites:

Essie Nail polish:

I think Essie is my favorite nail polish brand. They always have the 

cutest and most colorful selections. I love every single one of these

colors, all of which can be found at Target or on the Essie Website. 

I think my favorite color out of all these is Naughty Nautical. Which 

is the color found at the very end.

Fedora:

In my opinion, buying a Fedora should be number one on every girl's

summer wear list! I just got one recently and have been sporting it almost every

 day. I purchased mine at TJ Maxx. The one above can be found at Target. 

It is the MUST have accessory for the summer. 

Cute Bathing Suits:

What more can I say? Having a cute bathing suit is probably the Number One

item on everyone's summer list. I love how fun the ruffles are on both of these suits.

 I am also becoming a little obsessed with stripes! And who doesn't love chevron?

These cute bathing suits can be found at Target!

Ruffle Back Tank:

I absolutely love this shirt! I love the open back. So cute to pair with some white

 shorts, jeans, or capris. It is from one of my favorite boutiques: The Red Dress Boutique. 

There are so many different colors to choose from and I wish I could buy one in every 

single color. If you want to check them out go here!
