One of the most underrated aftermaths in traveling is collecting little things that could some up your whole trip. That could be a pebble or a coin. We'll never know the real value of something just because it is petite. A piece of stone or a dried leaf could bring a happy memory to a traveler.

     If you are the kind of traveler who loves keeping little things as a memento of your recent travel, this DIY travel memento box is for you!

WHAT YOU NEED:

• an empty unused box ( I used an old shoe box for this one)
• an old map ( I used the maps I used as a student before!)
• glue/scotch tapes (any pasting material which works for you is okay)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cover your box with a map. Try to check if your map is enough to cover the whole box. It's alright not to cover the inside of your box with a map. Covering your memento box with a map is a great way to remind you of that wonderful travel! You may use a glue or a tape to cover your box. Any pasting material is fine as long as you have your box covered.
2. Decorate your box. Here's the fun part, you are free to put any decorations as you wish on your box. A lettering, a photograph or a small shell will do.
3. Fill in your box with the things you treasured the most from your travels. Viola! you have your own travel memento box.

For my box, I decided to decorate it with a photograph of my friend that I took for our travel inspired pictorial. Then I used a DIY bookmark as a frame of her photo. I love how it looked like! What do you think?

Let me know if you want to learn how to make the paper bookmark. I would love to post a DIY tutorial here on my blog for you!
I wrote the words live and travel on the opening side of the box. I think somehow, to travel is to live.
That's it for this quick and easy DIY tutorial. Let me know what you think on the comment section below. Do you guys also keep some things out of your travel?

I hope you always find time to travel, even without going places.  :)

     The photo above shows the swatches of the two shades. As you can see, they look very identical in the photo. Both of them have a light and pinkish tone. But, once you applied the two in your lips, that's the time you can clearly distinguish the colors of the two.

Here's what it looks like on the lips:


     As you can see, the shade Fancy is definitely brighter and more vibrant than Frida. It's pink but with a hint of orange. Frida on the other hand looks more neutral. It's a combination of pink and nude, making it look more neutral.

     Talking about it's longevity, the two lasts up to 4 hours. Considering the fact that the two have a satin finish, I think it's pretty decent that they lasts long. I must say that the two shades are both perfect for an everyday makeup look.

If you are feeling like the queen darling of England, well long and sexy vintage lace wedding dresses like this one might be perfect for you! I love how simple and stunning it is. The wonderful flow and cut of its laces also adds a majestic drama to the whole look of the dress.

This is something that I would definitely wear. I think wearing this one would give anyone that royal feeling of being her own queen on her wedding day!
If you are inspired by the Disney princesses, a beautiful Ivory dress like this one would be the perfect fit for your dream fairy tale. A long train is the perfect match for its wide and blooming appearance.
The last piece where my heart fell into is in this short but very pretty dress! I know a number or probably most brides are into the traditional length, but I don't wanna close my eyes to possibilities like wearing something short like this dress.

I think short wedding dresses would be very flattering to those are aren't gifted with long spidey legs like me! I personally think that it also looks more playful and comfortable than long wedding gowns.

     If you are to be wed this year, don't look any farther and check Landybridal. However, if you are to be wed next year, don't be sad because they are also offering wedding dresses 2016 that you will surely love! Oh yes, they are waiting just for you.





     If you need your dress asap, but your budget is limited, happiness is right after you because they have free shipping offer until the 21st of this month. That is a gigantic gift because you know how much shipping fee costs these days right?

    Some brides these days turn into bridezellas because of so much stress but I must insist that it is always a matter of widening one's horizon. Not just about finding that perfect dress, but also in life.
