Bottle it up The best stuff in life is free. Like sunshine, blue skies and THE OCEAN…if you have access to it, that is. Which I don’t. So, to scratch the itch, I decided to go with beach hair. Problem was I needed sea spray to get the really beachy look and texture. So with much hesitation and skepticism I took on the task of making my own, with stuff I already had around the house. BELIEVE me when I tell you, this is BY FAR the best sea spray I have ever used, EVER. RECIPE: 1 Cup WARM water 3 Tablespoons Sea Salt 1 Tablespoon Gel or Spray Gel 1/2 Tablespoon Conditioner (or leave-in) A couple spritzes of your favorite perfume DIRECTIONS: Mix Warm water and salt first and shake well.

6 Questions That Will Make You Fee Peaceful and Complete “The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your own arm.” ~Swedish Proverb When I was in my mid-twenties an unhealthy relationship with an unhealthy guy sent me packing off to the corner of New Mexico to find myself. I became a workshop junkie. I got rolfed, (and got more intense body-work by thick-boned Maoris) and rebirthed with conscious breath work. I went on vision quests in the desert, called leading psychics, mapped my astrological chart, figured out my Enneagram number, dreamed lucidly for nights in an upright chair, and drew down the moon in Wiccan circles. I had psychic surgeries, soft-tissue chiropractic work, drank herbal tinctures and elixirs, bought every kind of healing essential oil, collected a library of self-help books, and did inner-child work, gestalt dialogues, and did loads of homework with several life coaches. I know. I was a perpetual seeker. Whether he meant it or not, he would say: What’s not to love about you? 1. 2. 3. As humans we make mistakes.

7 Questions You Will Ask at the End of Your Life Email A few months ago I shared twelve pieces of wisdom my grandmother left behind for me after she passed. This wisdom was written in an old leather-bound journal she aptly named her ‘Inspiration Journal.’ 1. If you don’t express the passion inside you – the ideas and deeds that make you feel alive – you will die one moment at a time without ever having lived. Don’t be scared of death. Someday inevitability will take place and your life will flash before your eyes. 2. Some of the best discoveries in life come when you least expect them, in places you never even thought to look. Life’s greatest beauty is found in its surprises. Remember, you are never too old, too young, too busy, or too educated to find value and joy in new, unexpected opportunities. 3. Everything in life is gamble. It’s time and experience that controls your eventual destiny. You shouldn’t bet the farm, but you shouldn’t be overly conservative either. 4. 5. Every worthwhile goal requires a struggle to get there. 6. 7.

How to spray paint furniture In the last few days, I have received several emails and comments asking for a “how to” on how I paint my furniture. Honestly, every piece is different but typically we do the same few steps. I will use my dresser redo to explain things since that is where the majority of the questions came from! You gals are so sweet with all of the compliments! For this piece, it was a dark wood with a glossy lacquer of some sort over top. Then I wiped off the dust from sanding. Next, I removed all the hardware and put it in a sandwich baggie so I didn’t lose anything. Next, I took all of the drawers and put them “face up” in the grass (I like to spray in the grass because once you mow the grass all your paint goes bye-bye and you have no overspray issues or clean-up! I gave all of the drawers two coats of KILZ Spray Primer. The only issue I have found with this primer is that it can leave a little gritty texture once it dries so I used a shop rag and rubbed it off. Next came the paint! Pin It Related

*The Thrifty Home: How to Remove Hard Water I clean my sink with ajax every day after washing the dishes, but that doesn't prevent this nasty build up. I have very stubborn Utah hard water. Yes, I could just get a water softener, but my DH doesn't support me on that idea. It would be too much work for him to have to buy salt pellets, haul them home and put them in the soft water tank all of the time. So I get to deal with hard water. I have tried all of the hard water products out there. To clean my faucets I had to get a little more creative. I also use vinegar on my shower heads to unclog all of the holes.
