Etched Portion Control Wine Glass

And a major part of the program isn’t completely restricting what you eat and drink, but you DO have to watch and control your portions. This goes for wine, too. And since I do like a glass of vino now and then, I thought I’d made my own special glass to hold my five ounces of joy! I chose a stemless wine glass and measured out 5 ounces of water and poured it in the glass. Then, using a Bic Mark it, I drew a line all the way around to know where to do my etching. I used plain ol’ painters tape along the line, and burnished it down well with my fingernail. I then applied the Armour Etch Cream (see my review of that here) to the bottom of the glass. Now, you could leave it here and you’d have done the job- now you know just where to fill your glass! I chose the flower head icon of the Songbird Cartridge (using my “j” monogram) for the Cricut and cut it out at 3″, using some craft vinyl.

So there it is…my special, portion-control wine glass. WHERE THE FUCK SHOULD I GO FOR DRINKS? Ice Cream Piñata Tutorial. Kaye was set on having a piñata at her ice cream party.

Ice Cream Piñata Tutorial

That was pretty much her only request for her party. The last time I made paper maché was in elementary school. But if elementary school age kids can do it, I was sure I could make one. Plus, this way I can have the colors match the party and stuff it with good candy that the kids will actually enjoy. Tips about making a piñata: Start at least a week before the party.

Shower, Conservation, Meter, Measure Flow. Get Your Feet Wet Just a stone's throw from "Simply genius," this patent-pending, palm-sized pebble takes the guesswork out of water conservation by tracking how much water you use in your shower.

Shower, Conservation, Meter, Measure Flow

Inspired by a hotel sign prompting guests to "please use water sparingly," inventor Paul Priestman hatched a useful way to put the plea into action. How it worksOnce you've programmed this pebble, it signals a yellow light at your half-shower mark and flashes red when it's time to turn off the faucet. The real geniusThis pebble incrementally shortens its suggested stop time, training you over weeks to use water wisely. Have fun with your timer by turning it into a clean game of race-against-the-pebble! To program your pebbleClick the restart button on its base, then place it near your shower drain.
