DIY: Necklace Holder I found this genius idea to get my necklaces organized from and I thought I'd give it a go. 1. You will need a flat board to attach your knobs unto. You can be creative with this. For my board I'm using a piece of driftwood that I found at this beach on this trip. I got 4 out of my 5 knobs from our local habitat for humanity store for less than $1.00. 2. 3. 4. and now my necklaces are officially organized! See how I organized my earrings here. xo be HAPPIER in your HOME | Found this list on apartmenttherapy.com and was inspired! Hopefully it will inspire you t00! 1. Make your bed. The book The Happiness Project, explains that this three minute task is one of the simplest habits you can adopt to positively impact your happiness. 2. I learned this trick from Marilyn Paul’s clever book, It’s Hard to Make a Difference When You Can’t Find Your Keys. 3. One reason that experiences (and memories of those experiences) make us happier than material things is due to the entire cycle of enjoyment that experiences provide: planning the experience, looking forward to the experience, enjoying the experience, and then remembering the experience. 4. Before bed, simply jot down one happy memory from that day. 5. This tip comes from The Happiness Project. 6. In The Art of Happiness, the Dali Lama says “”Every day, think as you wake up: today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it.” 7. (That’s right, I said it: nothing!) 8. 9.
Weekend Project #1 - Terrariums for Pinterest Challenge I love projects and Pinterest so when Sherry over at Young House Love posed the 2nd Pinterest Challenge I had the perfect pins in mind. Dylan got me these great fish bowl bookends two birthdays ago and we've had little success keeping any kind of fish alive in them. (R.I.P Goldfish 1, Goldfish 2, Goldfish 3, Goldfish 4, Betta 1 and Betta 2 - you were doomed from the start without names.) Supplies - Glass fish bowl bookends, tiny succulents, Cactus/Succulent potting soil, decorative stones, and a spoon. Completed succulent terrariums: I think my favorite part about this project was realizing that this was the perfect place to display the stones we have brought back from Iceland, Lake Superior and Italy.
Honey Curry Chicken Recipe Every once in a while I accidentally do something pretty great, and I feel like this is one of those times. A few years ago my sister gave me a recipe for chicken that I really liked. I have been craving it lately, but I couldn’t find the recipe anywhere. I thought the original recipe had a honey and curry based sauce. I tried calling my sister and couldn’t get a hold of her. Well folks, it turned out DELICIOUS!!. The funniest thing about this little story….when I called my sister she said the real recipe is for Ginger Chicken. Preheat oven to 350°. Place coated chicken evenly in the greased 9×13 pan. While chicken is cooking make the glaze. Enjoy. There are some Christmas goodies coming up! Linking to Tasty Tuesday
5 Reasons To Drink Lemon Water In The Morning Number 1 It balances pH--Lemon is an acidic food, but once metabolized, it becomes alkaline. I work very hard at keeping my body alkaline. Why? To put it most simply, alkalies help keep the oxygen in our blood at a safe pH level, and this helps our body heal itself, assimilate nutrients and fight off unwanted sickness. I have read of many people who have fought their cancer nutritionally by focusing on the body's pH levels. I regularly check the pH of my body using these little pH strips. Number 2 It keeps skin clear and glowing! Number 3 It kick starts the digestive system--a big glass of lemon water is a great way to start the day. Number 4 It helps with weight loss--I have read that keeping the body in an alkaline state helps people lose weight faster. Number 5 It helps control the coffee habit--I will drink coffee sometimes, but only if I have had my entire glass of lemon water. ...which brings me to bonus Number 6: My mom gave me this antique lemon press. So easy fun and easy to use!
Skin Brightening Toner I love everything skin and especially when it comes to making and trying new skin care recipes. A few weeks ago (after giving up with the toner I was currently using) tried a new toner recipe and since then have been, dare I say, in love with it. Ingredients: 1/2 Cup Lemon juice 1 Cup Water 2/3 Cup Witch hazel (can purchase at any drug store) Plastic bottle or jar Facial toner recipe for those with normal to dry skin. *For oily skin add 2 Tablespoons Alcohol* STEP ONE: Mix ingredients in a bottle or jar. STEP TWO: Cleanse skin with facial cleanser and rinse. STEP THREE: Apply toner with a cotton pad, sweep upward and outward over entire face and neck. STEP FOUR: Apply moisturizer. Benefits: Witch Hazel: Tightens pores and reduces inflammation. Lemon Juice: Reduce blemishes and lightens skin. Use facial toner both morning and night for a deeper cleanse, smaller pores and bright, radiant skin! *If you have any questions about toner or other skin care needs, please feel free to ask :)
Make Your Own Eye Makeup Remover and Reusable Pads. Quite awhile ago I wrote about making your own make up remover wipes. It was killing me to pay the high price of the ones sold in the stores. Lately, however, a couple of other things have been bothering me about the whole taking makeup off thing! First, since getting rid of paper towels in the kitchen…I feel a little hypocritical still using them in the bathroom. :-) Second, I feel like my face needs something richer, with more emollients, for taking off my makeup. So I spent much of today searching for and developing a slightly different make up removal system, that after using tonight I think I am going to like A LOT! PART ONE:First I made some REUSABLE make up remover pads similar to something I saw on The Sproutz Store Blog. PART TWO:Now I needed something to use ON the reusable pads. 1 cup distilled water1 1/2 Tablespoons baby shampoo (no tears)1 Tablespoon coconut oilA few drops of essential oil (optional) There it is….my new “make up removal system”.

Song Lyric Wall Art / D.I.Y. Project A couple weeks ago, I found a paint-by-number at an unbeatable price. I can't pass these things up even though I already owned this particular design. I thought that I could maybe use it to make a fun D.I.Y., but my new rule is that all thrifts that I purchase with the intent of restyling need to get done right away. I have way too many half finished projects in my life. Here's how I did it... I displayed our piece in our bedroom, on Jeremy's side of the bed. A couple weeks ago, I found a paint-by-number at an unbeatable price.
Starscape fibre optic star ceiling first home project. | Kristen McAshan i actually had the energy to do a project around the house! there are tons of projects to do but clearly i tackled the bathroom first. actually it was the closet :) which was fun but nothing to post about. here’s the before pic in the bathroom. i’m an organized person but just didn’t have the time, and husband was not happy about that section. it is right in front of the main mirror in the bathroom so there’s no escaping it’s craziness. so i made the super long field trip to ikea and bought these simple yet useful canvas organizers. they’re 2 for 3 bucks. i wanted to decorate them somehow since white was a little boring. got some felt and glued the words on them. hair=head bands, wraps, etc. skin=lotions, perfumes, face=face wash, lotion, neck=necklaces, wrist=bracelets….you get the point :) here’s the after! it’s a lot better than before but not sure if husband likes it. ha. hope everyone has a great day!!! peace and love xox
