How To Remove Jeans Stains From Your Bags #YouGotThis

How To Remove Jeans Stains From Your Bags #YouGotThis

With the weather getting increasingly cooler as each day passes, I’ve found myself packing away my dresses and skirts and turning to my classic fall staple: dark jeans. Turns out though, my jeans and leather handbags don’t play so well together and wearing both has resulted in blue stains on most of my purses. I assumed the only way to restore my bags was to get them professionally cleaned, so I set them off to the side to take care of later.

This weekend though, I was inspired by Canadian Tire’s #YouGotThis contest and, after scrolling through countless videos featuring DIY fixes to everyday projects, I felt empowered to take on my own!
With just a couple materials from Canadian Tire and only a few minutes out of my day, I had given my favourite bag a much-needed facelift. Check out the video below to see how!

Don’t forget to submit your own how-to video of an everyday fix to the contest for your chance to up to $5,000 in Canadian Tire gift cards. For inspiration, check out the Canadian Tire video gallery, and remember, #YouGotThis!

Own It!

We all have flaws. And that’s okay. But 97% of women have at least one “I hate my body” moment every day. And it’s about time we changed that. It’s about time we accepted our bodies for what they are, and focused on the things we can change, instead of the things we can’t. It’s time we told the voice in our head to ‘shut up’ and start to Own It!

.

Special K wants you to join them in promoting body positivity – loving your body for all its perfections, and perfect imperfections. Because we’re all unique, we all have strengths, and that is what we need to be focusing on. Join the conversation on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter and use #OwnIt
