I’ve had some extremely dry skin for a couple of months now.

I have resorted to a long list of natural oils, lotions, scrubs, and other remedies in an effort to assuage the flaky situation. You might remember seeing the recipe for Brown Sugar Vanilla Body Scrub, which was largely successful in aiding my poor arms and shoulders. After using an entire jar of this delicious-smelling scrub, I decided I needed to make a body butter to go along with it.

So, of course, Vanilla Body Butter was born. It smells AND looks pretty much like cake icing. So easy to make, and with no yucky chemicals, who wouldn’t love this stuff!?! Vanilla Body Butter Ingredients *Use scant measurements of each, since whipping this mixture makes it fluffy and won’t quite fit into a one-cup jar.

"hidden storage" books. We have a lot of books - many of which we haven't read.

We collected a lot of pretty hard cover books for the wedding (we used them with our center pieces) and they have been sitting on our open shelving for the past 10 months. DIY Pebble Shelf -$1store craft. I made this simple pebble shelf for my apartment bathroom to complement the earthy feel.

I've seen it done with river stones, so why not pebbles? Supplies:Place mat or shelf linerPebbles or river stonesE6000 glueTIMEFair warning: this craft project is inexpensive, but time consuming. First, I measured the shelf I needed to cover and cut my place mat to match. Then, using all of my patience, I began gluing stones in a mosaic pattern, working outward from the center, until the mat was covered. It is NOT conducive to work inward.

Custom Laser Engraved Buttons by WearhouseIndustries. Crochet Rug from T-shirts. I’ve seen a lot of crocheted and woven and braided rugs out on the internet; it was even one of the first things I pinned to Pinterest, but I never got around to trying one of my own until now.

I always thought it was going to be difficult, but actually, it’s really quite easy, and no fancy instructions needed! Here’s how I made my own crochet rug from repurposed t-shirts! Step 1. Acquire fabric. In this case, I used XXL men’s t-shirts from Goodwill. Step 2. The basic idea is that the shirt is already in the round, so you’re cutting a continuous strip from the bottom hem up to the armpit. Step 3. Step 4. I used the largest crochet hook I had on hand, which was a size Q and started with 6 SC in the first round, doubled it to 12 in the second round, and slowly increased by multiples of 6 beyond that.
