Yay, it’s the weekend everybody! I hope you’re having a great one so far. We’ve been doing Whatcom Water Week activities today. Tomorrow I’m participating in the Bellingham Bay Marathon. Specifically, I’m running the half marathon which is 13 miles. I’ve been training for the past couple months and am excited and ready to go! I’ll be posting about the race tomorrow, so look out for that =)
Here on the blog the sparkly tutorials continued with a week full of Rose Gold Mica. This color is super trendy right now (rose gold iPhone anybody?) and it’s easy to see why! What could be better than pink and gold together? If you missed the projects, click here for a Rose Gold Cosmetic Collection, and here for the Romantic Rose Gold Melt and Pour Bars. Next week, get ready for a week of copper tutorials! In the meantime, here are my favorite pins, tweets and ‘grams from this week!
Left to right, clockwise:
- How stinkin’ cute are these Mini Pumpkin Pie Slice Cookies? They would make a great gift but really, just belong in my belly.
- I love the simplicity in this Orange Poppy-seed Soap Recipe. Emily’s packaging looks adorable too.
- Speaking of packaging, this DIY Flower Gift Wrap is elegant and feminine. It would work great for soap!
- Carving pumpkins is fun, but if you’re looking for something different this year, these Vintage Inspired Chalky Paint Pumpkins are perfect!

I gave this soap concept another go with activated charcoal and King’s Gold Mica. I love the way the bright gold looks against the black!
On the right are the gorgeous products included in the Rose Gold Cosmetic Collection. This tutorial shows you how to make eye shadow, lip shimmer and nail polish! On the right, the kiddos and I visited a chicken egg farm. It was fun to watch the kids learn about the chickens and where eggs come from.
Twitter:
- A new research suggests drinking alcohol leads to weight gain. Specifically, drinking alcohol makes it harder for your body to burn existing fat. Bummer!

Hi Katisha!
I can definitely help you out! Just to clarify, are your colors bleeding into each other, or is that color transferring onto your hands? Also, what kind of colorant are you using? Let me know and we’ll get this figured out. 🙂
