Wait, Weight?!

At work, the TV in the lounge is always on.  Every time I walk in to get a drink I am bombarded by some sort of news station.  Today must have been a slow day because I caught a story about these over weight ladies dramatically portraying their experience at one of their local restaurants. 

CSA-- Why you should try it!

It has been nearly a month since my last confession.  Shame on me. Now now, where to begin....

A Florida Stay-cation, hippie style!

I have been a camper most of my life.  As a kid my family would go on trips to central Florida to camp.  I have many happy memories of those experiences the most surprising of which is the time we went camping and came home with a new dog.  The poor thing wondered up to our campsite, all skinny and covered in ticks, and didn't leave no matter how long we were gone.  I remember distinctly the car ride home.  Our dog Cocoa shared the middle seat of the minivan with my older brother, and I shared the back with the smelly, dirty, flea bitten dog we would come to name Tyler.  He became the doggy love of my life and one of the best things I can remember about camping.  

Everything Tastes Better When You Make it Yourself!

I am a huge snacker.  I eat a bit like a hobbit--I routinely have three "breakfasts" before lunchtime.  It probably doesn't help that I eat my first breakfast before 6 AM.  I have converted Adam into a chronic snacker, too, and now our lunchboxes are packed full of healthy-ish munchies.  

Laundry and Soap DIY Continued

In keeping with my previous post I'm going to continue blathering on about my new found homemade recipes!  In addition to my awesome DIY dryer balls I've been using white vinegar in my rinse cycle.  This recipe for homemade fabric softener isn't a dilution of store bought stuff.  It is actually a combination of vinegar and essential oils.  I made the homemade fabric softener and although next time I will add more essential oil I am happy to have something to add to my wash load that leaves a scent for the clothes that don't go into the dryer while reducing static to boot!

Great Green Gobs of Greasy Grimy Armpit Stains?!

I have been collecting/pinning DIY ideas for quite some time.  Shameless plug:  Follow me and check out my pins!  Some I've tried and some I am still meaning to, but recently I've been on a roll with laundry related homemade remedies.  

Oily-Face Challenge Week 4 Update and Conclusion

Week 4 left me utterly confused! By the end of week 3 my face was so greasy I could have fried chicken with the ooze coming out of my pores.  By midweek of week 4 my face was so dry it was literally flaking off my face.  I broke down and used St. Ives apricot scrub and Adam's face lotion on my face one night during my final week.  In my defense, you wouldn't have wanted my face flakes in your operative site now would you?!  I didn't think so!  I couldn't handle my face leaving dandruff on my scrub top. Thankfully, that small exfoliation was enough to re-balance whatever the hell was going on with my face.
