Hello loves! notice something new? TCIG has an entirely new look and I can’t wait to share with you some of the new changes. I really hope that you like it as much as I do!
Little Acts of Kindness
In our busy day and lives, we often forget about the simple little things- like smiling, wishing someone a good day, giving someone a compliment and the list can go on. This week after coming from work, my hands stacked full with papers to mark [they are still waiting], I was running through the bus terminal to catch a car a few streets away.
I had my shades on and that don’t-talk-to-me-I’m-busy look plastered onto my face as I passed a little old man playing the violin in the hustle and bustle of the city. Now this may be something really familiar to those of you who are living in mega cities where there are subways and all that jazz [literally], but in my tiny country, I never saw someone actually standing and playing an instrument in any terminal. Or it could be that I just don’t get out enough. That’s so not the point though.

DIY Valentine’s Day Decor & How I Style
Hello loves!
V-day is officially less than a week from now and I even though I did a pretty intensive DIY Valentine’s Day Decor video in 2014, I couldn’t help myself this year [btw, can we not talk about that video quality?!] Instead, this year, I chose to do some simple DIYs that aren’t over the top and over lovey-dovey. They are still chic and V-day inspired and I think that you’ll love them just as much as I do. I also picked up some cheap little accent pieces that I used so I also show you how I styled them.
Hope you enjoy the video and don’t forget to subscribe to my channel to stay up-to-date with all my DIYs.
Love the fact that these foam hearts are pre-cut! I also saw these glitter ones that you can probably use as well.
Need to sort your jewelry in a cute way? Jazz up a cork board with metallic spray paint- try to avoid white as tempting as it may be since the holes would show up much more. The pushpins are these ones from Kate Spade.
Got this lovely XOXO sign to add a pop of love to my desk. That cupcake was a necklace holder but now, I use it to pop my jewelry in when I’m working.
This DIY was definitely my fave of the bunch. The arrows are so cute I’m lovestruck [see what I did there]. Most of all, this was so E&I and mess free! I just ain’t got time to be sprinkling glitter atm.
Sweet idea for your night stand! P.S. don’t get me started with my Brookside obsesh
Cause love is in the air!
Light up your life with these cute heart light garlands! I got these from Target for only $1.00. Should have bought more urghh.
Lemme know which was your fave DIY or style idea in the comments below! I’d love to hear.
XO, Roxy!
DIY Birthday Box / Birthday Care Package
It’s a NY and birthdays are in full swing- one of which happens to be mine. IDK but having a birthday in the early months of the year just feels so rushed. It’s like one thing to the next-not to mention the fact that you get to be “older” than the rest of the people who would be the same age as you but who have birthdays towards the end of the year. If that makes sense. But I’m sure people who are born in Jan/Feb know what I mean.
This particular DIY also has 2 giveaways for my international viewers aka anyone in the whole wide world. Two people are gonna win the birthday boxes that I put together in the video. Check it out to find out how you can win one! Oh, and don’t forget to subscribe to my channel for more #DIYITGIRL videos!
These are perf for your friends- especially those who’re living away from you- because you can fill it up with a ton of little things that they like. It’s like you’re bringing the party to them even if you can’t physically be there.
P.S. for someone you are giving it immediately too, you can put a real cupcake in it! I used cupcake holders and sprinkles in this video because obv I’m not shipping a real cake halfway across the world. You can also put cake mix but in my case I didn’t since these are for the giveaway and I don’t know who would have a problem with what. BTW, I have a love affair with red velvet and confetti these days.
Ideas for your birthday box!
Cute candles are a must!
Gotta have sprinkles!
This fun little bunting is an easy DIY for the box lid so when the box is opened, you get your own special greeting!
Don’t forget the birthday cards!
I really hope you enjoyed this idea and find it useful!
XO, Roxy!
