You are perfect

I came across this video a few months ago. Firstly, I was thinking this would be another funny video of Connor making me laugh and smile and everything that comes with it.
Like all his video's (Connor' Channel), he did. But at the same time, I realized something.

In the video Connor talks about being obsessed with being 'perfect'. And we are. At least, I know I am! 'Just lose that other kilo of fat' 'drink more water to lose more weight' 'What are the latest trends?' And mostly 'What do other people think of me?' 

The video showed me that although we all have our flaws, we are them. We are who we are, including the flaws.

'Work your flaws' as Connor says!

I hope this cheers up your day a bit if your having a bad day. Or that it makes your already great day amazing! :)

I really wanted to write a post about this video because I love his positive view on the topic and the eye-opening effect it had on me.

So for every single one of you out there feeling insecure, you are way prettier and more beautiful than you see yourself.

Love, Danielle

Summer 2013 | Tie Dyeing

Summer has officially started, and what better way to start it by making something unique!! I have been wanting to make my own tie dye shirt for a few years now, but wasn't sure on how and when to do it. Somehow, my past summers have been filled with things more important...

But, I am getting my diploma in a few days, meaning I no longer have that to worry about that! When I told my friends I wanted to make the shirts, they were excited and wanted to make one themselves :)

So, after getting all the goodies (which was a lot more than I thought I would need), we looked up some video's on YouTube (what is there not to find on the internet!!) looking for patterns and a step-by-step guide. 

TIME TO START CRAFTING!!! 

White T-shirts, sprayed with water

We had four different dyes in the colours bright pink, bright green, blue and yellow. We added water to the dyes and put the dye on sections off the shirt, creating the patterns. 

All the shirts were dyed and put in foil to set the paint. The time depends on the kind of paint you use. 

The ones we used were from 'DecorFin Textile'

It did get a little messy... 

 We waited for the dye to dry. After washing the left over paint out, we hung the shirts.

THE RESULTS
