10 Room Decor Ideas in 10 Minutes [Under 5$!] ♥ | Cheap, Easy and Pretty!

I am still waiting for that moment in my life to come, when I finally can have a minute to relax, but since I'm afraid that moment won't come (at least in a while), here I am as stressed as a human can possibly be, writing down some words, trying to make a decent update.

As I promised, I changed completely the design of the blog and of course I had to make the same thing with my YT channel and Twitter. So now there's a explosion of flowers, strawberrys, bows and pastel colors in all my sites. which really cheers my life up.

Aaaaaaand of course I had to give a revamp to my room too. I make the most of my Winter Break to make some DIY projects for my new room decoration. We all know the period after Christmas is tough as heck, and for all of us diagnosed with Christmas obssessive disorder, it is not easy to get over it. Sooo here it is my personal way to make things easier:




Here you have some pictures of my favorite spots:

• 'Stairs' shelf. I love this kind of shelf but since the moment I purchased it I have never really known what to do with it, so I want that to change. I did some fabric flowers and some pom poms and just throw some cute things here and there et voilà!
  
  
  

• Inspirational dresser. I like to call that spot like that because that is exactly what it is to me, my inspirational spot. Sometimes when I'm getting ready for college I feel like I rather fall down the stairs than attend to class. That's why I needed those quotes in my life.
  
  
  
• Disney Spot. If you're familiar with my channel or my blog you'll know by now that I love my Disney princesses and that along with the Christmas obsessive disorder I suffer from Animator's collection obsessive disorder too. This wall was completely necessary, because I can't help but do the extreme happy emoji face every time I look at that shelf. 
  

Oh, and in case somebody is wondering, of course the three wise men left me some more Animator's Collection dolls. I got now two new babes! Welcome to the fam, Pocahontas and Mulan. I got 10 out of 14 now. I need to put my hands on Ariel, Elsa, Tiana and Merida. And once I have them all and my life's mission is accomplised, I'd have to go and look for another reason to live because I can't come up with anything right now. There's nothing after these babes.

And I think that's pretty much everything I came to say today. Room decorations are not over, I'm going to keep adding floral and girly things regarding Valentine's day and Spring (yeah, I know, Winter has just started, but that's me), and don't get me wrong, I've never had give a damn about Valentine's day, but it's the perfect excuse to use pink, floral and girly stuff, so yay. 

There's just one thing left, I got a little project going on, because I'm trying to make my channel, my blog and all my sites as big as possible and I want to improve my quality in all possible ways, forms and shapes. So I decided to start editing this kind of common IG pics, which by the way take much more time than I thought. And yes, I started this blog's entry saying that my schedule was crazy and here I am adding new things to do to my endless list. Anyway, here's the thing I was talking about:

That's all for today, I'm going to have dinner now. See you as soon as I have time and something good to say!

Xoxo, Marina

Easy DIY Last Minute Halloween Costumes: Hipster Cinderella & Rapunzel

Hi y'all, beautiful people!!

I am reaaally really happy to write this entry. Yesterday I couldn't upload a video to my channel, as I usually do on Sunday, but it was for the greater good. I was fighting with my editing software because I was attempting to change the background of the video with the green screen technique. The results are obviously not even closer to professional ones, but taking into account that I don't have professional lighting, nor a real green screen background (I used a green blanket from my boyfriend and tape to glue it to the wall), I'm really satisfied with how everything turned out. I got to point out that I don't even have a decent camera! I film wih a digital one, a Nikon Coolpix SD2800. I can't complain, tho. It's really good quality for a digital camera... But anyway! I think it was a funny experience and something that I'm definitely going to do again (yeah, poor bf of mine, I'm sorry for that). Anyway, here you have some behind the scenes pictures, so you can see how precarious was everything.

As I mentioned before, shout outs to my bf! He helped me to prepare everything and he was the intro director, as he always is :). I'm afraid he just has to get use to it... Aaaand about the video! It is another Halloween costume. It's really easy, affordable and cute, at least I think so. You can be any hipster Disney princess using a tiny little bit of imagination and a few clothes from your closet! Here you have the link to the tutorial:

DIY Barbie Halloween Costume (with Shelly!)

Hi!! So today I'm sharing my very first Halloween themed-video. It's a DIY Barbie costume! As a child, I loooooved dolls, especially Barbie dolls. I still love them in fact. I loved costumes as well, but I never have the chance to put on a costume very often. So I make the most of this opportunity to create a Barbie look :) And of course, you gotta bring your little, cutie sister Shelly with you <3

I had so much fun filming this. It was very challenging, because it was my first makeup tutorial as well. I don't proclaim myself as a makeup artist, nor anything similar. In fact, makeup is a really tough and tricky issue for me. But I tried... And I think it didn't turn out bad at all! Btw, I'm planning to do more Halloween videos. At least one more costume and something related to decoration and healthy snacks! So make sure you're subscribed to my YT channel, 'cause you don't want to miss them! :) For now, here you have the first episode of the 2014 Halloween series:
