How to remove ink stains from a dryer

Holy ink disaster Batman! I have to get off the topic of crafts for a moment to share an amazing cleaning success! Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures (as I didn't really believe it would work). If you've ever had a pen go through the dryer, you'll know what a mess it can be. This is why I am adamant about always checking pockets! Unfortunately when you're letting someone do laundry at your house, you're not checking their laundry. As my eyes were bulging looking at the blue ink stains all over the inside of our new 6 month old dryer, my husband immediately started cleaning. Lysol wipes did very little, and goo gone did absolutely nothing, so he went online and searched for the best remedies. Hairspray was a little bit better. We could see blue coming off on the paper towels, but it didn't look a bit different inside the dryer. Soaking an old towel in bleach and running it through a cycle was what finally worked. I was shocked that it got almost all of the ink out. The towel was completely destroyed, however. It looked like we had wet a few rolls of yarn and thrown it in the dryer. The few spots of ink that were left came off with nail polish remover. Hopefully this disaster will not happen again, but at least we now know how to handle it. It worked so well, I just had to blog about it.

DIY Halloween Costumes- Isabela from Encanto

I found a ton of cute lavender dresses a’la Isabela from Encanto. I started with tulle to give the princess feel, and also included more comfortable options. You can get away with just the flower behind your ear, but I think the added ones throughout the hair are more Isabela. I added two options, but Shein does have many options for hair flowers. Oh and use my code at Shein for 10% off your order! The first 3 dresses are Shein sizes 2-12. This first dress definitely will make you feel like a princess! These shoes are the most accurate to the cosplay as well. Tulle Dress Mary Jane Ballet Flats Large Flower hair clips Small Flower hair clips Dress option 2 is more casual and looks so comfy. You could wear this more often after displaying. As it’s more casual, I also added more casual flats.

90s Style Categories

Denim, tie dye, backward baseball caps, bright colors, overalls, and knee highs are just some of the things that remind most people of the 90s. I'm horrified when I look back at most pictures I have as a child, as I dressed more like Nickelodeon's Clarissa and Alex Mack instead of like the more trendy 90s styles. I wore tshirts with denim shorts and overalls quite often. One thing I miss about those days is the comfort. I was not aware of most of the 90s fashions that were available at the time (hey we didn't have internet yet) and I basically wore whatever my parents bought me. It was nice to be able to dress for comfort! Kids nowadays seem to be beyond their years and dress much older than their age. I've been thinking of having a 90s party this year, and this time perhaps I'll actually dress in a different 90s style that I never wore when I was younger. I'm breaking down some of the styles into categories below. These are categories in my mind
