DIY Graduation cap

Stand out in the crowd with your very own bedazzled cap.

This graduation cap project is really easy and fast. 

Materials:

1         Graduation cap

1         Silver Sharpie

1         Pack of stickers, rhinestones or sequins. 

Instructions:

1. Start with letters. I drew a basic letter then I thickened the letters as I saw fit. (You can use a stencil if you want a more professional look.)

2. Place the stickers around the words, I placed them in a random pattern. I bought them at the Dollar Tree. (If you can't find ones with an adhesive back, use a glue gun or super glue.)

3. Add the year you're graduating in.

4. Be Creative, I layered two colors to make a semi 3-D heart and a trail leading to it.

5. Make a statement, whether it's a catchy phrase or a reference to your major you can be creative.

Total cost: $3.00

5 Reasons to Watch Think Like a Man

I am a big fan of Steve Harvey's book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man.

This weekend I had a chance to watch the movie Think Like a Man. 

1. Kevin Hart is hilarious! He adds much needed comic relief to the movie plot.

2. I liked how they highlighted different types of relationships. 

Ex: The player played by Romany Malco and the "90 day rule girl" Meagan Good. 

A play on the good girl and bad guy personas.

3. The movie showcases many of the important themes of the book like a "keeper" and "sports fish". The terms equate to the meaning of a relationship to a man; whether a girl has long term relationship potential or is just a fling.

4. The romantic comedy is a great date night movie. It has the sappy love written into it women love and men can also enjoy the dynamic among the guys in the film.

5. You might learn a thing or two.

One drawback: I felt they tried to promote the book a bit too much.
