Yes –That would be me. KELSEY the TRANSFORMER.
TRANSFORMATION #1
Unfortunately I did not take a before picture of the garden [perhaps b/c I only went outside to PICK a PEPPER - Literally]
This is the after shot —Imagine a CANTALOUPE + SQUASH + PEPPER JUNGLE as the before shot. Why did I go crazy + pull all of the plants up? Well they weren’t producing. The week prior I’d had a little talk with them and told them to “PUT OUT OR GET OUT“.
Looks grrrreat.
Here is my new CORNER GARDEN
What on earth do I want to plant?!
TRANSFORMATION #3
What can you make with:
- A can of spray paint
- A nappy old frame from a thrift store
- A spool of wire
- A few nails
- And a little tape
Hmmmm. Suspicious.
This nail doesn’t appear to be in a functional space.
OMG it is so UGLY.
Just kidding —This is the backside of the mystery object. The tape is on there to prevent the frame from touching + scratching the wall.
TaDA —But really Kelsey, WHAT IS IT???!!!!
It is an EARRING HOLDER.
I was uber annoyed with all of my earrings laying by the sink. I don’t like earring trees or jewelry boxes.
So I literally invented this in my head one day while plundering an antique shop.
I flipping LOVE IT.
TRANSFORMATION #3
Turn the CURRENT KELSEY into a leaner,meaner YOGA MACHINE!!
I spent my summer doing volunteer work,working for a local farmer and drinking a lot of red wine. PENNY did more DOWNWARD FACING DOGS than I did this summer. Now I have borderline OPRAH ARMS…. [yipes]
Last night I was whining to Eric about how my student membership for UNLIMITED MONTHLY YOGA [which is a ridiculously good deal] would be equal to 1/4 of my PROJECTED MONTHLY INCOME from babysitting during the school year…. and then I calculated my PER MONTHLY WINE COSTS.
I HAD to make a CHOICE.
Unfortunately I’ll be making the switch from WINE to YOGA.
I hear your METABOLISM SLOWS DOWN when you hit 27?! I’ll find out on TUESDAY!!
Say GOODBYE to the not so toned arms.
Cheers!!
B+B
Kelsey,THAT IS GENIUS. I am stealing your idea. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. the earring frame.
LMAO at Oprah Arms! I always called them “Hi Edna’s”
My metabolism came to a screeching halt the day I turned 27 (In March). I gained like 7 pounds since them and am doing nothing differently. At least that’s what I’m telling myself…
That is such a good idea for the earrings.
LOVE your earing holder idea!! Dangly earings are my favorite but I have them all cooped up in a jewelry box at the moment. They look so nice they way your have them organized on your “new”frame!
I don’t wear earrings,but I LOVE the idea!! SO SO SO creative! Wonder how I could make this work for necklaces,Hmmmm…….
Ben &I have started doing p90x,which includes a day of yoga for 90 minutes once a week. We *thought* it would be an ‘easy day’. NOT SO! Its a TOUGH 90 minutes,but I really enjoyed it! Might have to check out some other yoga workouts!!
Wow,wine or yoga,what a tough choice. This must have been so hard to decide,but I think in the end,you will be happy with the outcome. Plus,it doesn’t mean you can’t indulge in some wine every now and then!
Love your earring idea!!!
I’m sure you’ll love getting your yoga in again. I *try* to get some in 1x a week.
You totally don’t have oprah arms,but you got me laughing either way.
P.S. My Dad’s coming home today
Um,can I just say that I don’t think there is anything wrong with your arms?!
I LOVE the earring holding. LOVE it! If only I had fun earrings like that I’d do the same thing. However,I am currently not in an earing era in my life.
Not sure I could switch totally from wine to yoga but could see doing both:-) Yoga definitely has an amazing affect on arms and shoulders!
i am now exactly one month into 27,and so far,so good on the metabolism…but you have me freaked! guess i’ll keep testing it w/ my daily beer and cookies…?
Fab earring holder!!!!!!!!!!!
Kelsey,what exactly did you use to make the earring holder? I have amassed quite a few pairs of dangly earrings again and would love to replicate this thing!!
I conceive other website proprietors should take this site as an model,very clean and superb user pleasant layout.
