IFL’s 2012 Awards

Thank you so much for being a part of IFL’s successful launch in 2012! We couldn’t be happier with the posts that we have created and are so thankful for your continued support. We wanted to take a moment to recognize some of our favorite people and moments that this blog offered us. So without further delay, we present IFL’s 2012 Awards!

Biggest Trooper: Shannon

Shannon(We lied and told her we were making crafts. No, that didn’t happen)

Funniest Guest Star: Greg

Greg(There are no words for how funny he is)

Biggest Diva: Amante

Diva(He would’t stop eating the entire time, would walk off whenever he wanted to, and made it loud and clear that he was the real star of these photo shoots when he sent us an invoice for his services. Geesh, diva)

Funniest Photo: 12 Year Old Brittany

BB(This picture cracks me up every time!)

Most Ridiculous Idea: Drinking on the Toilet

Favorite Word of 2012: Slutbaggy

slut(We’ve used it multiple times and hope it starts to catch in 2013)

House DJ: Smiles

Miles the DJ(We can’t get any work done unless he is spinning behind us. At first I thought this meant that he twirled around in circles which would have been super awesome but it means he plays cool records for us to get our creative juices flowing- which is okay too)

Fan Favorite Post: Blideo #2

Thank you again for reading and liking us when you do! 2012 has been a fun year for us and let’s hope that it gets even better in 2013!

Fake It ‘Til You Make It

It’s that time of year when people invite themselves over and intrude upon your private space because it is the holidays and they want to spend time with you. Sigh. Alright, we’ll play nice and try to accommodate the best we can. We gathered some tips on how to spruce up your apartment in a pinch and give the false impression that you live in a civilized manner all year round.

1. First Impressions.

Gerard Butler

(Make your boyfriend, friend, or roommate greet your guest at the door dressed as your personal butler. This is important in fooling your guest into thinking you are living a highly refined life. Actually one better, get Gerard Butler to dress as a butler and answer the door for you, whatever you do after that pretty much won’t matter.)

2. Tidy Up.

(Don’t have time for a deep clean? Don’t worry, there is an easy solution. Shove your scattered clothes, shoes, and spare tutu into your closet as quickly as you can. Then take your shoe rack and move it in front of your closet door in case your guest decides to get snoopy)

3. Mood Lighting.

(Class up the joint by placing a candle in a tiny little mason jar. But don’t stop there, tie some twine around the top so that you disguise the fact that you just stuck a candle in a jar)

4. Refreshments

(Someone told me that they once went to a super fancy dance club and there was champagne in the bathroom! Well, I drank all of mine the other night so I placed some extra beer and wine I had around the toilet instead which should do the trick! Whatever you do, make sure you keep a wine and bottle opener within reach so that your guest can pop their bottles easily)

Well, there you have it, 4 easy and totally doable steps that transform your apartment into a chic lounge that could trick any of your imposing friends into thinking you are classy.
