D.I.Y Valentine

It's no secret that I love Valentines day, I mean what's not to love. I usually give my friends and family small gifts (usually chocolate)  and last year I made my partner and I a three course candle-lit dinner and got him a really nice watch (Hey it was our first Valentines, had to pull out the big guns).

This year though, I'm going the DIY route. I have been collecting ideas and supplies but it really doesn't take much to make a thoughtful heartfelt present, all you need is a little inspiration and here I am, click the links for tutorials and more info

1. Glitter Jars for your candy and whatever you please...

2. A Love map

3. His and Hers mugs, write a quote that means something to both of you

4. Cupcakes! with Raspberry filling

5. DIY Valentines card

6. Maybe you already bought something, DIY wrapping paper!

7. Candle in a bottle

8. Love Notes book (you can also do a scrapbook)

9.  And for the very best, a hug, a kiss, a smile or a few kind words

Most of these projects are inexpensive and just take a little time, remember that this is inspiration, if you don't have all the materials needed just work with what you have. Give a friend, a relative, a lover or even yourself! Have a great valentine.

I'm doing a combination of about three of these, can you guess which?

Happy DIYing

Love always,

Sabirah

Thursday tidbits

1. I've fully integrated into my new workplace, I mean I've been wearing like beach sandals for the past two days
2. Also had my hair in pinned up jumbo twists for three days... love me, love my hair.
3. Today I did a fifties inspired hairstyle, I think it was lost on my students; "Miss Sabirah you look like wolverine" "hmm where did you do your hair, it's funny" womp, I liked it.
4. It's one week till Valentines day! whoop!
5. I just came back from open mic Night at bogobiri, wasn't as fun as usual but every outing is an event when I'm with my sister friend Funlola :)
6. My Partner deserves a major shout out cos he's all shades of awesome.
7. I have three large avocados, what to make? (pls don't be obvious and say guac :p)
8. I'm happy and content
9. I think I no longer want to teach 11yr olds, I want to go to the babiiiies!

Have an awesome weekend!

Love always, 

Sabirah
