Easiest Way To Open A Tight Jar

My grandmother taught me this trick and it has always worked. Unless you really really pound the jar it won't break anything. At least I have never once had that happen. Just a firm tap is all it needs. You can also turn the jar upside down and hit it flat onto a flat counter top but I don't recommend that for all surfaces. 

Fashion Going Forward

So I know its the middle of summer and not fall yet- but as soon as August hits Im thinking about pumpkins and scarves and booties and hot apple cider! And everything fall fashion! I want to share my favorite recent JustFab releases for going forward into September and October.

Vasha

I love this bootie and cannot wait to wear her! That color and that detail on the toe!

Liyanna

Im a tad obsessed with this burgundy color as you can see. Its perfect for the fall season!

Flor

The site calls this black but to me its like a cold weather sweater grey. I love it.

Glass Trio

I just think this is soon cute!

Ribbed Boatneck

I love boatneck tops and three quarter sleeves. So flattering. I must have this top!

Francios

I know I should have named this blog post "Burgundy" but its the perfect fall color! I love this bag so much. Obsessed actually.

Trench

This creamy white trench is perfect for October- not too hot and super stylish.

So there you have it. Some of my favorites going forward into fall time. Check out the site because there is so much more you will find to fall in love with! (See what I did there- FALL in love)

Fall Time Wreath

I am already getting into Fall crafts and its been a long time since I did any crafting too! The first thing I made was this wreath. I got everything at Dollar Tree except the scarecrow which I already had. You can use something besides a scarecrow so get creative!

This project cost me $5 to make.

What is needed:
Rafia
flowers
leaves
basic twisted wreath
any decor you wish to use like a scarecrow or flower or anything! (can get at dollar tree during the late summer and fall or also at Michaels Craft Store)
thread or string
hot glue gun

First I unwrapped the raffia and wrapped it around the twisted wreath. Terrible image below but you get the point. At several points I snipped off a piece of raffia and tied it around the wreath to keep the raffia in place.

After I had it arranged the way I liked I pulled some fake flowers and leaves off the plastic stems and used hot glue to attach them to the wreath. Some of them I glued to the raffia and some to exposed twisted wreath. I glued the leaves down first and the flowers on top of the leaves.

I placed them mostly on one side but you can make your placement any way you see fit. 

On the other side I chose a spot I wanted my scarecrow to be. Then I glued some leaves down first. Instead of gluing the scarecrow onto the wreath I tied it on over the leaves with sewing thread. I simply wrapped it around his neck and tied it all the way around the wreath. You can't even see the thread. 

Then I used the same thread to tied a loop around one twist in the wreath at the top so I can hang it from the wall or door.

And thats it! It was quick and easy!
