I wrote out a longer post about Dazzle Dry nail polish. I realized even I wouldn\’t read such a post and that the most important part of the post was….

Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies
Salted Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
• 1 1/4 c. unsalted butter (2 1/2 sticks)
• 1 cup + 2 Tbls. sugar
• 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups cake flour
• 1 2/3 cups bread flour
• 1.5 tsp. baking soda
• 1.5 tsp. baking powder
• 1.5 tsp salt
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 pkg. semisweet chocolate chunks cut into quarters
• Salts for topping the cookies (I used Sea Salt & Cypriot Flake Salt)
Directions
• Place cake flour, bread flour, baking soda, baking power and salt into a bowl and stir. Set aside.
• Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar together until very light; about five minutes.
• Add eggs and mix well.
• Add the vanilla and give it a whirl around.
• Reduce speed and add the dry ingredient mixture. Mix until just combined.
• Remove from mixer and stir in your chocolate pieces.
• Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 36 hours.
• When ready to bake; preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drop mounds of dough onto your non-stick baking sheet.
• Bake for 7-18minutes. *** note: one cookie sheet took 7 minutes while around took 17 so just watch it.
• When you remove the cookies from the oven sprinkle them with your salt.
Trendy T-Shirt Necklace
You will need one t-shirt and fabric scissors. I made two different necklaces thus the two shirts. My shirts are from Old Navy and they cost about $5 a piece. You want to get fitted tees.
Cut the t-shirt into strips up to the arm pit.
Once you have all the strips cut out you will want to stretch each one individually.
and stretch it some more
Now you are going to lay them on top of each other to make a circle.
• note: you want to make sure that the seams line up so your necklace is not weird.
reserve one of the stretched fabric circles – you will use it later.
Once you have stacked them on top of each other you are going to want to make a figure 8.
• note: your seams will now be lined up.
Your necklace will now be half the size – and will also seem small… it definitely stretches so have no fear.
Use the reserved fabric circle and wrap it around the seam end and tie it. This will be the back of your necklace.
• note: sometimes I would bread scrap fabric so a more polished finish.
