HUGE Dollar Tree Haul | DIY, Halloween, & MORE 2015

FALL IS HERE! Today I finally went to the Dollar Tree to pick up some random goodness because I am addicted to that store. I know it has been a while since I been there so that’s why I kinda went a little wild and bought a lot of unnecessary things hehe.

I did pick up some things for DIY’s I will be working on soon.



I bought some Halloween accessories for my sons costume and some decorations for inside of the house. I found this awesome tombstone chalkboard to hang in my kitchen for menu planning.



Most of this video is just me rambling a lot so sorry if it’s kinda of long but I was just too excited for being able to shop at my favorite store again.



Thank for watching as always and you guys have a beautiful day!

MAKING MY FAVORITE PILLOW! | DIY Project

So if you watched my last thrift haul you may have seen that I found a never opened bag of poly-fill for the LOW LOW. I decided to go to the clearance section in Wally world and what do ya know... I found some super trendy high quality fabric for $2! So I put 2 and 2 together and this is what I came out with. I am no professional of the art of sewing but I do really enjoy doing it and I see it as really therapeutic to me. So sit back and relax and enjoy the video. I hope it may inspire you to jump into a D.I.Y project and have fun. Thanks for watching and have a beautiful day!

Of course I love to shop for seasonal things early so I did grab a few things.  As always thank you for watching my videos and liking them. Take care and have a beautiful day!

Deleted Video Re-Uploaded | Kitchen Organization

 BAM! Here it is.. but who knows... it may get deleted tomorrow.. so yeah I hope not.

YouTube Rejected my Organizational Video for Inappropriate Content?!?!?!

Okay. Let me start here with a WTF!?!? The last video I posted was a organizational video on how I re organized my pots, pans, and lids. C'mon it's a boring video to some people but NOT to the ones who enjoy learning new tips of organization and to my loyal subscribers. So I posted my video on Wednesday Sep 2nd 2015 and by the very next day I get a nasty e-mail saying:

	Hi Melanie Riley, The YouTube community flagged one or more of your videos as inappropriate. After reviewing the content, we’ve determined that the videos violate our Community Guidelines. As a result, we removed the following videos from YouTube: "Re-Organizing Pots, Pans, & Lids | Ikea Hack" (https://youtu.be/g0dCfiU2Xg0) We are constantly working to keep YouTube free of spam.

So your saying that someone thought that me cleaning a cabinet, pulling pots & pans out, and putting them back in was inappropriate? Alright now lets be real here... YouTube has THOUSANDS of raunchy inappropriate videos out there that NEEDS to be flagged.. and for some reason they are still out there. My content is 99% original and the music is royalty free which I do provide a copyright license in my description box.    Someone either is a troll and is sabotaging many Youtubers accounts or YouTube is the culprit in their somewhat shoddy system. I only say that because they did agree to my video being inappropriate... maybe they just don't like big girls cleaning up after themselves... I don't know. So at least I have my blog where I can post what ever the hell I want as long as it isn't going to personally harm someone or a very rich company.  I tried to appeal the claim and hopefully I will get some feedback. BUT after reading from everyone's terrible experience on forums it seems I will lose with no reason what so ever. SOOOOO I can give a big nasty sign language to who ever flagged my videos and to YouTube for not fixing their procedures.  I am only a tiny meno in this big ocean of YouTube and for some reason I was spotted. I am trying to re upload my video after altering it and maybe that will fix that issue... but for the strike.. well crap I have to live that one for 6 months or till my account get deactivated for life.. which would suck tremendously.. I was with YouTube for over a YEAR.. so I dedicated a whole freakin year of my life to these videos and some little punk can make it crumble in seconds. I don't know if they can mess with my blog, but eff it I'll keep on writing till they stop me.  So... ya... Sorry for the missing video.. I was really proud of it and maybe I can get it back. Thanks for reading by the way... and I hope that you were mildly entertained.

Re-Organizing Pots, Pans, & Lids | Ikea Hack

I got tired of moving a lot of pans over and over again every time I wanted to cook, so I decided to just pull everything out and start all over again. I am sure my setup will get messed up and I will change it again, but at least for now I am not as frustrated with it anymore. I bought this Ikea rack from Amazon to see what it can do for my organizing needs and this is what it has helped me with.



 If you are interested in purchasing the same Ikea rack then here's a link to Amazon:
