New Blog Look! featuring Pugly Pixels
Hello Hapi People!
I'm sure you have noticed something is different ... no it's not my hair. I updated the blog design! Isn't our Hapi Place pretty?! I personally think its awesome and I put a lot of satisfying work into it. I wanted the blog to be more organized and unique in design. I knew the only way to make it unique from the templates that Blogger gives you in its editor was to use ... coding. AHH!!!
DUN, DUN DUN!!!

Weekend DIY - Hanging Wall Decor for Beginners
Hello Hapi People!
It's Friday and its time for a weekend project idea! Do you have a picture, art, shelves or something that you have been wanting to hang on the wall but don't know how hang it? Well, I am going to show you a secure way to hang a heavy item on your wall. I know a lot of wall decor and shelves can come with kits and hardware to use, but I know I have lost pieces and have items that have no instructions. I also know that even with instructions, it can be hard to do home improvement without experience. I am going to show you step-by-step on how to securely hang an item on your wall.
There is no need to fear tools either - If I can do it, you can do it! So, without further ado, Let's Get Started!

A Word You Didn't Know Existed ...
Hello Hapi People!
I hope, if you are in the U.S., that enjoyed a three-day weekend or that work wasn't took bad on Monday. If you aren't in the U.S. I hope the week started off well for you.
Today isn't going to be a Wreck This Journal post but I do want to talk about something that was inspired by my Wreck This Journal. On one of the pages in the journal you are asked to "Write One Word Over And Over". For my journal I wanted to use a unique word that had significant meaning to me. I gave my word a lot of thought and scoured the interwebs ... and when I found it, I just had to share it.

Memorial Day Ideas
Hello Hapi People!
Hapi Memorial Day! If you aren't an American reader, Memorial Day is a celebration is honor of our Veterans and active military members. Americans generally spend the day doing summer activities. Here is Florida we go to the beach, go boating or just get out on the water, have bbqs, get in the pool, and just get outside to enjoy the summer weather. I know my family is having a big cookout & swimming in our pool. If you are celebrating and want some ideas I have some inspirational pics for you! My boyfriend Zach and I went to a local park the other day where everyone was enjoying summer activities and the three-day weekend. We also went to a local bakery and got some treats. I hope you enjoy these pics and get Memorial Day & summer activity inspiration.

Wreck This Journal: #1
Hello Hapi People!
I told you guys I order a Wreck This Journal a couple of weeks ago and ... it finally came! I got it in the mail a couple of days ago but I want to do a few things in it before I showed you. If you don't know what a Wreck This Journal is, its a book that contains instructions on every page with ways to be creative and even destroy in the book. I will post pics of my book every week or so to show the progress. Here are some pics of the book and the little bit I've done so far ...

Under the Weather: Remedies When You're Sick
Hello Hapi People!
I hope your week is going well. I know I've been busy but had
to take a sick day yesterday. I have caught some kind of cold/flu and just
needed to rest. I figured I would share some cold & flu at home remedies
while I try to get better.
Let me just start by saying I am not a health expert. I am
just sharing with you what works for me. I personally want to use natural
remedies because when my body is sick the last thing I want to do is fill it
with chemicals. I do take cold medicine but I am just trying to control what is
going in my body. These remedies DO work - I have tried them myself. So here we
go!
Woman, What a Beauty!
Hello Hapi People!
TGIF! Do people still say that? Lol I hope you all have had a fantastic week. I am excited to share another makeup session with you today. (Sorry boys, I know these posts are girly. Some more stuff is coming your way.) My dear friend, Cindy Platt, and I sat down and played with makeup today. It was so much fun sharing tips & tricks that she can use everyday and for special occasions. Mom to one of my closets friends in high school, Cindy and I had so much fun joking around and playing pretty. I will share some of the tips I gave her for age appropriate and easy-to-do makeup tips. Here are some pics from our time together ...
