Guest Post Thursday – 5 Extreme Holiday Crochet Projects

I have been looking forward to this Guest Post for awhile…enjoy! Thanks Kathryn!

During Christmas week last year, yarnbombing crochet artist Olek sneaked out into New York City and wrapped the Wall Street Bull up in a bright pink camo cozy. It was her Christmas gift to NYC and it makes me excited to think about what she might do for the holidays this year. But Olek isn’t the only one doing some extreme crochet for Christmas. Here are five other holiday crochet projects from now and Christmas past to knock your stockings off of the fireplace:

A pack of Christmas cards bought from a store are so impersonal, but even adding a family photo to a jolly greeting is becoming so trendy that the card could still end up in a basket with the rest.

Guest Post Thursday: At-Home Waxing: Alternative to Expensive Waxing

At home waxing is a cheaper and time-saving alternate to waxing done in parlors. You can wax your arms, legs, underarms, bikini areas; upper-lips, chin and all those areas where you feel hair are unwanted. Though waxing takes a wee bit more of time and preparation than shaving but the results last long and the skin gets clean also in the process. The reason being the fact that when you wax, the accumulated dead cells on your skin are also shed off and your skin becomes clean and clear. The other benefit is that you can wax specific parts of the body even on a hectic day after your office hours to attend a party in the evening, and can get ready for the party in much lesser time. Rather than wasting your energy in parlor, save it for the party and enjoy to the fullest. Here, we present you
