<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">What's better than a pair of 1990's "Mom Jeans" from the local thrift store? A pair that you can transform into the ever-popular destroyed jort! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We've been wanting to try the DIY "destroyed jean short" for a while now, so when we found the perfect pair of Calvin Kleins at the store, we knew it was time. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">1. Try on your jeans and mark with a pencil how long you want them. (Make sure to cut under the line initially, you can always chop more off.) </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">2. Cut one leg, then fold the jeans over and cut the same length off the other leg. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">3. Try your jeans back on to make sure this is the length you want them to be. We ended up cutting quite a bit more length off. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">4. Turn the shorts inside out and look closely at how the blue and white lines appear. The blue strands run up and down the shorts, while the white strands run horizontally. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">5. Decide where you would like your "destroyed" areas, then cut short horizontal lines about 1 cm apart from eachother. (After you make the small initial cuts, you can lengthen them to make the "destroyed" section larger.)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">6. The ends of the blue strands should be slightly sticking out of each line you cut. Take a pair of tweezers and pull on one of the blue strand ends until it comes out. (The first few strands are the hardest to get ahold of. It gets easier, we promise!)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Does the title of this post make any sense? Probably not...but it's about to!</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">A few weeks ago we picked up a new spice rack. But naturally, it didn't come with all the spices we consistently use. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">In order to switch out some of the less-used spices, we needed to find a way to label the new ones we replaced them with. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">With a family full of runners, we have more race tags than we can count! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">They represent fun times and great accomplishments, which should be proudly displayed. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The problem is that no one ever knows where to put them. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We saw a great DIY project using a wood board that solved all of our race tag problems! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">What you'll need:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">A Wood Board </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">2 Metal Clips</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Wood Glue</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Paint & Brushes (one small and one large)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">1. Take your largest race tag with you to find the board </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">so you don't buy one that's too small. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">2. Paint the board your base color, wait for it to dry, then use a pencil to draw on the letters. This ensures that everything is centered and spelled correctly before you start painting!</span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />3. After your board is dry, it's time to glue on the clips.</span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We've seen some race boards that have hooks instead of clips; however, every race tag is different and all may not fit on just 1 or 2 sets of hooks. </span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We leaned ours up on a shelf, but you could hang it up on a wall with Command Strips or purchase a board that already has "wall-hanging" ability.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We stumbled upon a "Basic Bread Recipe" and figured...how hard could it be? </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Well it wasn't difficult, but it was time consuming. So make sure you have a few hours to devote to your homemade loaf.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Ingredients:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">1/4 Cup Almond Milk</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">1 1/2 Tbps. Sugar</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">1 tsp. Salt</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">1 1/2 Tbps. Butter/Margarine </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">1 Package Active Dry Yeast</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">3/4 Cup Warm Water (105 to 115 degrees F)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">2 1/2 to 3 Cups All-Purpose Flour</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Instructions:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Place milk, sugar, salt and butter in a saucepan. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Heat over low heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Cool to lukewarm. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Dissolve yeast in warm water in a mixer bowl. Add lukewarm milk mixture and 2 cups flour. Attach bowl and dough hook to mixer, turn to Speed 2 and mix about 1 minute. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Continuing on Speed 2, add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and mix until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of the bowl. Kneed on Speed 2 about 2 minutes longer, or until dough is smooth and elastic. Dough will be slightly sticky to the touch. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Punch dough down and roll into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.

Pinch the ends and turn them under. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Wine cork coasters look great on a coffee, dining or bedside table; plus, they are so easy to make! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">What you'll need:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Wine Corks (Darn, we guess you'll have to drink a bottle or two)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Glue (we used Gorilla glue, the king of all glues)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Felt (cut into squares and attached to the bottom to prevent condensation from leaking through)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Tampa awaits its yearly invasion of pirates, which is marked by the Gasparilla parade this coming weekend. We had no problem coming up with our top three picks for the event, as this year's trends couldn't have been more supportive. Follow these three tips to create your own booty-deserving look.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">1. Stick to a color scheme of red, black and white.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">2. Add interest through details like studs, jewels, and of course, skulls and bones.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">3. Keep it edgy with leather fabrics and a pair of statement boots.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">They make great home décor statements...in addition to covering your windows.

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It's amazing what a difference mixing textures and fabrics can make to an outfit. We found this dress at a local consignment shop and fell in love with its patterned full skirt. But we had a problem...the dress was sleeveless and our winters are brutal. OK, so we're exaggerating. Here in Florida you have to change the seasons yourself by changing your clothes. Our solution was to layer this black cowl neck sweater over the dress and we were pretty impressed with the results. Goodbye boring black! </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Here are a few ways to keep your bookcase looking organized yet stylish, which is harder than it seems! </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">First, you'll need books. If you've started using an E-reader or simply don't have a large collection, a great place to find unique and classic books is your local antique or thrift shop. Look for a variety of sizes and colors that will stand out on your shelves. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">As far as placing your books: stand some up straight, lean others diagonally and lay a few flat. This makes the eye wander around the entire bookcase instead of just one shelf.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Next, choose a few meaningful items to arrange on top of and in between your books, such as a picture frame or trinket. This will draw attention to your favorite pieces and add some personal flair.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Find accents that compliment each other but don't exactly match. For example: two canvases with inspirational quotes or burlap pails that say No. 1 and No. 2. We also included cigar boxes in natural wood and a vibrant red. Pairing similar items together keeps your bookcase looking coordinated. </span></div>
