DIY Classroom ideas: “In the Grass”


As some of you may know, I quit my job at New Horizon Academy, there were a number of reasons why, but I am not going to go into detail now. But in spite of the fact that I wasn’t going to stay in the classroom, I helped decorate it for the next month’s theme, which is “In the Grass”

I started off with making these flowers! You will see them a lot throughout the pictures. I used green pipe cleaners for the stems and the flowers themselves came pre-made, I simply mixed and matched :)

The clock also required an update, if you remember, this used to be a Big Ben, now it’s a sun, shining over the flowers, a carbon monoxide alarm disguised as a giant pink chrysanthemum, and a blue bird:

I hung green ribbon from the ceiling for a cozy in the grass feel:

Remember the Love Tree I had up in February? I took some of the hearts down, replaced them with flowers, and viola – a spring time tree:

And finally an updated Family Board (I blurred out the faces, I am sure you understand why :) )

Today I am starting a new job at Orchard Park Childcare Centre, and I couldn’t be more excited! I will continue posting classroom ideas about once a month, so don’t forget to subscribe if that’s something relevant to you!

And don’t forget that Blue Nile earrings are still up for grabs – enter to win them HERE!

Happy Monday everyone! Tomorrow is Tuesday, that means I have OFF, so I’ll be running around doing all sorts of fun blog related things!

Xo,

Zhenya

Blue Nile is doing another awesome campaign for Valentine’s Day – Share the Love, and since we all know diamonds are a girls best friend, let’s all get our boyfriends and husbands to participate!

So here is what they (or you) have got to do:

Share The Love game details:

  • ·         There are three special Valentine’s Day cards on Blue Nile’s Facebook page from which fans can choose and share. In order to participate, fans must “Like” the Blue Nile Facebook page.
  • ·         For nine days, Facebook fans will have a chance to send a card of their choosing to any of their Facebook friends along with a short message.
  • ·         Both the sender and recipient of the card will receive a $10 off coupon toward their next Blue Nile purchase. Users are able to send multiple cards; however, users can only send one card at a time, and they will only receive one $10 off coupon, regardless of the amount of cards sent.
  • ·         Users who send a card will be entered to win the Pink Morganite & Diamond Ring as seen on Blake Lively on Gossip Girl!

Shampoo of the Month: Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine


There is a story behind this shampoo. I won it in an on-line magazine giveaway. Right around Christmas. I honestly would’ve never bought it for myself. I’ve been kind of an organic shampoo freak for the past few years. But I didn’t want the product to go to waste, so I started using it. And I loved it! I’ve only been using it for a few weeks now, but it works better than some of the organic ones that I’ve tried. Here is what the packaging looks like:

And the back

I do have frizzy hair, and it is dry on the ends, so this shampoo/conditioner combo works well for my fine hair. It adds shine to it. Doesn’t make it look greasy. The only thing is – Why do all Fructis products smell the same? – I mean I can get over it, it’s their signature smell and all, but still…

So here is what my hair looks like today, after morning shower, and then running around all day :

I usually put some Organix morocan argan oil in my hair as well, and all of these products seem to be working super well together! I still use my Aveda treatment, the gloss by Fekkai, and whatever is left over from that 3 minute miracle by Aussie.

I also want to encourage you to participate in giveaways and sign up for samples, because it’s good to try out new things!

What hair care products are you currently using?

Cheers,

Z

PS. Oh and I hate the little dark green tops, the one on the conditioner is hard to open, and it always gets stuck under my nail :( OUCH

Drumroll for the WINNER!


Hey everyone, it’s time to announce the winner of our giveaway! I bet you are as excited as I am!

Here is her comment:

Would totally rock this on ‘Date Night’ wearing something like this >>>>https://pinterest.com/pin/39195459227280060/ or even a little more casual like this >>>>>https://pinterest.com/pin/39195459227229622/I might even pair it with some other arm candies of the same color scheme. We’d probably hit up the red carpet, dip out of the event early for a private, romantic dinner …and I’d have my arm around my man the whole time. Btw my date would look something like Joseph Gordon-Levitt or Ryan Gosling :P

Match made in heaven!

Thank you everyone who entered! There will be more giveaways on my blog in the future for sure and don’t forget to check out Polished Boutique!
