DIY TARDIS skirt and Calgary Comic Expo

May the 4th be with you! :D Happy Star wars day

a good start? nah not really...

                                So last week I told you that I'm going to Calgary Comic and entertainment expo and I sure did go.. Unfortunately I got there too late and couldn't meet Matt Smith nor Karen Gillan :( sob sob.
But while I sob spontaneously I got to see a Tardis what! :D

Well obviously it wasn't a real thing but it was cool enough. I met so many lovely Doctor Who fans around the country. And I did went alone :3 never the less I thought it was the best day I ever spent alone.. lol

Here are some pictures from the event.

Here is how I made my Tardis inspired skirt :)

 

So first I took about 1.5m of Tardis blue fabric and marked about 3inchs at one side 

These  marked down for the pleats of my skirt. 

I pinched in the pleats and sew them down. Measured it around the waist and cut the extra bits out.

The I cut off two rectangles from a scrap white fabric to make the little windows of the Tardis 

Glued them using fabric glue -_- too lazy and time consuming to sew? may be lol

Then after it till it dry I cut off a long strip of blue fabric and folded in to get nicely edged tapes for to form the windows. Also glued them in like the lazy bat I am xD

And that's pretty much it you lot 

I thought it was simple enough that I could wear it casually.. lol oh boy.. I was so wrong amount of people who gave me the weird eye was bloody too much .. but WHO cares right? ;) I'd wear it often anyways. 

Hope you all are enjoying the weekend...If not enjoyed..

Have fun..be creative

DIY - Earring holder (Starring The Doctor(s))

Helloooo :)

                Hope everyone is doing fantastic. Oh I have been busy with work and school.. Yes yes I know I always give excuses. -_-


Before I forget! I'm finally meeting MATT SMITH AND KAREN GILLIAN (11th Doctor and Amy Pond) and at Calgary Comic Expo this weekend! :D

I'm so freaking excited. Finally a Whovian moment to remember!


How many of you have had little bowls full of earrings? and you just dig through it to find the other one of those tiny pair, it's like a never ending dig isn't it? like you are digging a tunnel to China.. ha

What a catastrophe!

 Here I found a beautiful way to arrange your earrings and also to display them very nice and neat!

With this I think I'm more organized. lol

I used some things I gathered from a Dollar store.

So the things you'll be needing,                       

- A Canvas/Frame                               
- Duct tape
- Plastic Cross stitch cavas

easy enough? 

We don't need the Canvas just need the frame..

In that picture I just took it out! And also you can use just a picture frame.


Next you just have to cut around the Plastic Cross stitch canvas for it to fit the frame and glue it down. 

The I just used my duct tape to wrap around the frame so it'll have a nice touch.

aaaaannnddd my duct tape ran out... 

lol then but I found a spare pink one... wasn't that bad was it?

And done :)

Hope you enjoyed my post with The Doctors! lol

DIY - 10 Homemade Body Scrubs

Hello Lovelies,

                       First of all I would like to wish all my fellow Sri Lankans a Happy Sinhala Hindu New year. 
I hope the coming year will be full of love and prosperity.

Coming back at today's post it's all about scrubs! yeah! Am I the only one who get this happy sensation when somebody says body scrubs?



I absolutely love scrubs of any kind specially the ones you can make at home. :D

There are so many benefits of using a body scrub in regular bases,
 - It will exfoliate your skin
 - Give your skin a glow 
 - Encourage the natural flow of circulation of bodily fluids 
 - Improve anti-ageing and cellulite
 - It will help you relax 
 - Give skin hydration 
 - Help to fade dark spots

If I could go on I could I mean stay at home spa? who wouldn't want that..

So here are the top ten favourite body scrubs of mine. I have tried many of them.

To a FAQ I don't know the shelf life of these scrubs. I always make a small batch enough for a week and store mine in a dry cold place where there's no direct sunlight.

DIY easy Oero cookie crumble frappuccino recipe

Hello ladies,

                  Hope everybody's having a fantastic weekend :3 Weather is beautiful in Calgary although it's looking a bit cloudy right now.

So frappuccino talk! :D I love Starbucks but not really a hot drink fan there. I always order a Java Chip.. oh I can hear the angels sing when I take a zip I swear.

Not quite the Starbucks menu's knock off drink but this taste sooo good as if you were enjoying some of theirs. It doesn't even take 10mins to make this seriously.

Making a delicious drink like this can`t get any simpler!

What you need, (3 servings)

- 2 cups of regular dark coffee (475ml)      

- 1 1/2 cups of milk (350ml)
- 2 cups of ice cubs 
- 3 tablespoons of sugar 
- Few Oreo cookies
- Chocolate syrup (optional) 


So after you gather all your items you just have to add them to your blender and blend a little. Make sure cookies and ice don't get crushed in to bits. We still need be able to have some crunchy goodness. Don't we? :)




- Blend away ( oh, look at the way they dance.) 

Optionally I added some chocolate syrup to my yummy cookie crumble.! (oh so beautiful) 

And some appreciation on my Yo Gabba Gabba shorts :3 

I store the left over in the refrigerator for my sister. Little did I know half of it was gone an hour pass by. Lol What happened? my mom that;s what happened! 

I tried to clean off my closet and I ended up with a garbage bag full of cloths I don't wear anymore. They are going in to a donation box! :)

Hope everybody will have a lovely weekend, make some frap and relax!
