How to Make a Tissue Ghost

Do you remember making ghosts out of tissue when you were a kid? I still think they're the cutest things ever especially when you make a bunch and hang them everywhere. They're super easy to make and you probably have everything you need to make them with already laying around the house.
2 pieces of tissue, a black marker, ribbon or string
roll one tissue into a ball.
place the rolled tissue in the center of the second tissue.
fold the second tissue over the rolled one.
twist the second tissue to secure the rolled one in place.
tie the ribbon around the twist leaving one end long.
flip over so the bow-side is facing down.
with the marker, draw two small dots for the eyes and a larger one for the mouth.
Use the long end of the ribbon to hang your ghosts.
This will help to achieve maximum floating effect.
Have fun!

xoxo

Palm Springs Iconic Home Tour

As some of you may know, this week is Modernism Week in Palm Springs, California and we had the unique opportunity of touring the newly named historic site, the Menrad House, designed by William Krisel. It was the perfect balance of casual flow and minimalist simplicity. All I can say is I wanted to move in right then and there. Loving this retro design and those clerestory windows allowing for all of that natural light without sacrificing ones privacy. That artwork is fantastic and the bedding in that master bedroom...  love . This patio cover is to die for. A genius way to provide a bit of shade without feeling closed in. The design is so simple but the overall effect is absolutely stunning. Apparently, these homes sold so fast that a brochure was never even produced to promote them. I snapped a few shots of the neighboring houses and will share them soon. Next up, a tour of vintage trailers and caravans on Saturday. Can't wait to get inspired for wh

Purple Power Juice

As we wrap up our 3 day juice reboot , I find myself thinking about this fruity concoction we enjoyed on day 2 . A strong, berry burst with a bite of ginger, perfect as a morning pick-me-up. Remember, fruit is best consumed in the morning on an empty stomach because it moves through your digestive system much faster than other foods. 6 cups of concord grapes 1 green apple 1/2 cup of blackberries 2 2"  pieces of ginger (I used 1 1" piece because ginger is super strong) Enjoy! xo Sécia Check out our other juice recipes  here !
