June Editorial Calendar (Free Printable)
Hey guys! I recently finished our editorial calendar and then I made a chart to put it all in. A lot more organized than little notes on random scraps of paper! I uploaded it to DropBox so you are all welcome to use it for personal use, anything else please contact me first. It's HERE!

Splatter Nail Art Tutorial
As promised, today we're going to share how we did our nails for the color run. We think this look is super cool and can be used for any style.
You'll need:
-Your favorite white nail polish
-A few different acrylic paint colors
-An old toothbrush you no long use
-Clear top coat
-Plastic grocery bag
Start with a white base. It doesn't have to be perfect- most of it will be covered up- but, you do want it to be good and opaque.
Next, pour a blob of paint on a piece of paper or your plastic bag (lay your bag flat for this part) and get a good amount on your tooth brush. Practice flicking it on the paper like Katie does in the video. (Sorry for the poor quality. It was taken on my phone in the hotel room with bad lighting)
Once you've gotten good at it, go ahead and start on your nails. Be sure to wash the brush off in between colors so you don't get any weird blends. Just as you would for water marbling, you can take your fingers off to keep them clean, but that's totally optional. The paint peels right off your fingers once it's dry so it wasn't a huge deal for us.
As soon as the acrylic paint is dry, add a top coat to all your nails and wash the paint off your hands.
There you have it! If you try this yourself, we'd love to see- share it with us on Instagram by tagging @cassipolzin
Stay gorgeous
♥ Cassi & Katie ♥

Five Little Grins #30
<a href="http://globsoflipstickandclumpsofmascara.blogspot.com/search/label/5%20Little%20Grins" target="_blank"><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/4fb1b81a9b1ad6d17c9317ea03174589/tumblr_mucw6eXUKG1s3gqbyo1_400.png" alt=" 5 Little Grins " width="350" height="246" /></a>
In case this is your first week, here's what it's all about. Generally Mondays are considered pretty sucky right? Well, let's change that. Instead of focusing on what sucks about Monday, we'll talk about what made us smile throughout the rest of the week, to start the week on a positive note!
The Rules! (These are really just kind suggestions)
2. Link up your post that includes 5-ish things that made you smile in the past week
3. Comment after you link up
4. Go visit some other blogs and make some friends!
My 5 Little Grins from this week include. . .
1. I got all my costumes for recital, throughout classes this week. Some are really great and others are interesting, but nothing is too bad! Better than last year.
2. I finished my literary analysis essay and turned it in. I didn't mind this assignment, with the exception of writing a conclusion. I always hate doing them, this time I procrastinated a lot and even wrote a poem about what I accomplished while procrastinating, while procrastinating. It's a problem.
3. I made cookies Thursday night! They turned out well. I was worried because the dough tasted super salty, but they were fine cooked.
4. I tried out the blue that came in the Julep box I got, and it was far better than the purple. (Swatches to come!!)
5. I mailed some things on Friday. Both are WAYYY late and I feel really bad, but now that we are out at the boat more, it is far easier to get to the Post Office!
What has been making you smile lately?

Fancyyy
Hey guys! This week really has been a roller coaster for me and as the month progresses it will only get crazier.
I got my costumes for recital in dance this week. Some were cute. Some, quite the opposite. Overall they aren't too bad though.
We'll probably spend this weekend out on the boat, but then still move back on Monday, like last weekend. Then, next week is my last week of dance and we are to wear our costumes to class.
That weekend, I have the Color Run with Katie and her mom! I'm super excited. It was so much fun last year and I'm sure this year will be just as good, if not better.
The week after that, I have no classes, but a tech rehearsal on Friday then my recital on Saturday and my younger brother has one dance in the Sunday show.
Crazy right? Last week wast kind of like the calm before the storm.
So today I'm linking up with Whitney for Back That Azz Up, because there is no better way to end the week, amirite?

3 Easy Steps to a Summer-Ready Body
Warm weather is here! (At least in the northern hemisphere) That means it's almost time for bikini season. Today, I wanted to share my best tips for getting a bikini body!
Step 1. Go to the store (or your closet for that matter) and pick out a bikini you like.
Step 2. Put said bikini on your body.
Step 3. Look in the mirror and marvel at your results!
Your body with a bikini on it IS a summer-ready body! Weight, birthmarks, and anything else that are TOTALLY NORMAL FOR PEOPLE TO HAVE don't change that. They just make your body different from other people's bodies.
Summer is only 3 months long, so don't waste it worrying about your body. Be confident in your swim suit, or whatever it is you like wearing, and love yourself no matter what anyone else thinks!

My 5 Little Grins from this week include. . .
1. Putting the boat in on Friday! Docking was rough, but there were some pretty strong gusts and the first of the season tends to be that way anyways.
2. Saturday we put the old dinghy in that water and drove it back to the marina from the launch ramp. Strangely, it was much windier out on the water than anticipated, so we could go very fast.
3. We brought the parrot out to the boat for Saturday and that night. She absolutely love the car ride there and enjoyed being back out at the boat again. Even if just for a little while.
4. Throughout the week, all my recital dances were finished in all my classes. Since we only have this week and next week, it is quite nice to have them done. Plus we get costumes this week which is great!
5. Finally playing Cards Against Humanity. They're just the ones you print from online, so it was kind of hard to deal with cards, but you get used to it I guess! We may just buy the real version, though.

May Goals/ April Recap
In April, I wanted to. . .
1. Continue to drink a decent amount of water. Yup!
2. Keep the bird cage clean. Yup!
3. Work toward improvement in dance. I'd really like to move up next year, even though I just did this year. Yup!
4. Have a productive Spring Break! Not quite- I was sick :(
Overall, I think I did pretty well in April. I even got a week ahead in a few of my classes for school. A goal I didn't even have!

My 5 Little Grins from this week include. . .
1. I made cupcakes and brought them to dance last Monday. They were Spring Funfetti and really really good. Everyone else enjoyed them as well.
2. Half-priced frappes at Starbucks! Now they're reasonably priced! haha I hate coffee, but Cotton Candy Frappes are amazing. *Stereotypical Teenage White Girl*
3. Katie and I came off our blogging hiatus. We laid out our editorial calendar for the month. There are so many posts I can't wait for you all to see! HINT: Remember when this was just a beauty blog? Well, I'm going back to our roots and sharing some pretty great nail tutorials :) For a sneak peak, follow me on Instagram.
4. Having solid triples in ballet on Thursday. I'm not quite sure how I managed that but it was pretty awesome! :)
5. I got to babysit for sort-of-neighbors on Saturday. I hadn't ever met them before and it's always nice to know people in the area so that was a plus. The kids were great and so is getting paid.
