It’s Spring Fashion week at Ebates and I am doing a little series for all you budget fashionistas: 5 on trend Spring looks for under $100!

3. These skinny boyfriend jeans create a cool contrast when paired with the super feminine blouse. Plus, everyone needs a good pair of weekend jeans. These will run about $35 from Old Navy.

4. Finish off the outfit with a great pair of neutral wedges. Lulu’s has a great selection for just around $30

Do you have 2013 fitness goals? I sure do. In order to keep myself focused I am sure to keep around a handful of excellent products to keep my workouts fun, and safe. Best part is that I can earn Cash Back on all of my purchases 🙂

1. A new pair of yoga pants is very necessary – they are stretchy  flattering, and versatile. Perfect for all your active goals

2. A lightweight hoodie is great because it can be layered easily

3. A bright, fun pair of running shoes always motivates me to work out

4. Cushioned and absorbent socks are incredibly necessary

Pumpkin Crunch Cake

This scrumptious blog comes courtesy of our dear friend Kim, who blogs over at Today’s Creative. She is a wonderful lifestyle blogger. Be sure to check her out!

This fall dessert is not only a favorite in my home, but also around my neighborhood. It’s not uncommon for me to make this a couple of times a month and has become a tradition at my October Ladies Bunco night. This classic dump cake is simple to make and is a hit for any event, even Thanksgiving!  No fancy ingredients, or techniques makes this cake super fast to make.

DIY Crashing Witch from Hoosier Homemade

Although I love decorating for Halloween, I like keeping the decorations more whimsical rather than scary. Our street is very popular for Trick-or-Treaters, in fact we usually have around 800 kids. Many of them are little children, keeping that in mind, we put out fun Halloween Decorations like the Crashing Witch.

With just a few simple supplies, you can create your own Crashing Witch!Crashing Witch Supplies

Cauldron
Tights
Green Fluorescent Paint {we bought Bright Neon Rust-Oleum}
2 cans Dow Great Stuff Insultaing Foam Sealant {you will use about 1+1/2 cans, depending on the size of your cauldron}
Spray bottle with water {not pictured}
2 limbs for the legs {we used about 2 inch in diameter, the more knots on the limbs the better}
Plastic bags and filler material
Newspapers to wrap Witchy up
Shoes or Boots {we found these at Goodwill, last year we used some of my old boots, any will work as long as they fit the limbs}

To learn how to make a Crashing Witch of your own, head on over to Hoosier Homemade for the full instructions.
