Share & Print Photos

What if I told you that you could print directly from your smartphone & get the pics delivered in the mail? Well..... you can, & here's how. I thought it would be cool to print some of the snapshots I post on my instagram page & give them to my husband & family members. Many of them are NOT instagram, so they can't always share these special moments with me.  But.... fast forward to a company called Printic.

Printic is based in lovely Paris - and they print all the pics you want....plus they deliver to the USA fast & free!!  The quality isn't bad at all and very affordable at only 99 cents each print. The prints are reminiscent of the old polaroids (those of us over 35) grew up looking at, remember those?!?!? Instant shots. Anyhow, they have a super cute app (which is free) where you can download to get all this going & best of all, it's super easy to use & super quick! Love this!

You can check out their site to learn more.

ta da!!!

MY HOME, MY SPACE

What is your favorite area in your home and why?

Hey everyone! Suna here from SunasHouse & I’m a self-taught interior decorator and an interior designer wannabe. I’m a full time student studying interior decorating and also running a blog  about the small projects I do for my house. I love affordably well designed spaces and share the ideas with people. What having a cozy and welcoming work space means to me is “Being myself”. Especially when you are a mom of two sons and a wife to a husband, you usually don’t have a small space in the house that can reflect your own personality and colors. A well-designed office space makes work more efficient, productive, and organized and helps you refine yourself.

My home office used to be a small, formal dining room that was barely used. I wanted to transfer the space to a space that I can enjoy every day. My two dark wood tables were perfect for me to transform into a big desk, on which I could have enough space to decorate some objects that I like, read books & magazine, organize mails/bills, play with my camera and use my laptop. Now I have my work space and I feel more productive, efficient and professional.







It is my most used space in my house and I love sitting on the chair working and looking outside to enjoy the weather and greens. And I still can use the table as a dining table when I have guests over. I feel comfortable, cozy and more productive in my work space. Every girl has to have their own space/office to enjoy their work. If you have a room that was barely in use like mine, please transfer the space to a room that you’ll love and use.
Don’t limit your space. Don’t let space give you the purpose, but you give them the purpose that you want. 


The thing that I love most about my office is that the space is no more abandoned and I have my own space to blog and spend my time in my house. I rebuilt and painted the two old dining tables to the big desk for me and I love it.








Do you have a fave space in your home? Email us a few photos & if we choose you, it could be featured in this series!

BEAUTY: DETOX TEA

Hey readers! Kimberly here, bringing you a post about au naturel homemade beauty! I'm excited as this is my first post here on MADE BY GIRL, on beauty! Hope you'll enjoy it! 

If you're an aspiring domesticated goddess, like myself, then you're always looking for a great way to improve yourself, as well as, those around you in a healthy and organic way! Today I'm sharing a recipe with you that will not only make your skin glow but will also help slow down the aging process, as well as, burn fat deposits & TIGHTEN the skin! When they say, "beauty comes from within", they meant in more ways than one! So let's brew up this detox tea, shall we?



1 | Yogi Detox Tea "Our skin reflects our diet and lifestyle choices: it’s the mirror to internal health. It’s just as essential to cleanse from the inside; reducing internal impurities can help to promote clearer, glowing skin." - Read More: Yogi Detox Tea, Official Website. Drinking Yogi Skin Detox Tea at least once a day consistently will cool, soothe, rejuvenate, and repair your skin leaving it with a healthy glow.

2 | Lemon Is a Citric Acid which is great for treating acne, removing dead skin cells, lightening discoloration, evening out skin tone, disinfecting, softening and adding glow to the skin.

3 | Apple Cider Vinegar Balances the skin's acidity levels which reduces acne and evens out complexion. Apple Cider Vinegar also contains Beta Carotene known to fix damaged skin and known to reduce the effects of aging which makes the skin firmer. Apple Cider Vinegar's ability to increase blood stimulation keeps skin youthful. And ACV also reduces inflammation and reduces cellulite.

4 | Green Tea Green Tea is a powerful antioxidant that repairs the skin and helps treat many different skin conditions. It is also known to revive dying skin cells which is why it is often used to treat sunburn as it helps repair the effects of UV radiation exposure.

5 | Coconut Milk Reduces and prevents skin from sagging. Coconut also prevents signs of aging because it is high in antioxidants. It is also known to be rich in Vitamin E which helps keep the skin moisturized and reduces cracks, wrinkles, cuts and burns. Vitamin E is great for dry skin and skin ailments and has a natural SPF of 5.

6 | Honey Honey is a natural healer that keeps the skin hydrated for long periods of time, protects the skin from the sun, and acts as a natural anti-aging agent. It can also be applied topically as a face and/or body mask. Because honey is considered to be a humectant and humectants draw moisture from the air, it'll keep the skin well moisturized throughout the day!

The 2 Bandits

OK, Friday is upon us...so glad.  I need FRIDAY.  You see, I've been working so much I think my right hand is developing carpal tunnel. Not good. Anyone else out there overworking??!?

Anyhow, if you haven't heard of The 2Bandits - I'm here to introduce you to this super duper cool & unique brand. Tamar is the young designer behind this collection of jewels - she is a certified gemologist who also attended Fashion Institute of Technology here in NYC.  Her collection is pretty identifiable, with funky shapes & a bohemian/vintage style. To top it off, it's quite affordable.... ranging from $55 -$298.  The first time I spotted her jewelry was at Rebecca Taylor here in the city - I was totally in LOVE.  I tried on a few pieces & swore I'd get one the next time I went by. Well, lucky me....

2Bandits sent these gorgeous pieces my way - the peakin cuff and the Peakin ring - 2 of my faves, I'm wearing them below! Check out the rest of their stuff here.

Peace out.
