DIY BODY SCRUB FAVOR

I am excited to share with you a little DIY project I did a few weeks ago.  This is super easy to make with things from your kitchen!  The original project is from the blog Hey Gorgeous with the free downloadable labels found here.


Supplies and Ingredients:
  • Airtight containers to hold the scrub (mine were from Target)
  • Labels or some sort of embellishment (mine were also from Target, but you could make your own too)
  • Pretty ribbon
  • 2 1/2 Cups of Sugar In The Raw
  • 3/4 Cup White Granulated Sugar
  • 4-5 Tablespoons of Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 Cup Almond Oil
  • Don't forget a spoon to mix the ingredients!

Step 1:  Mix together your sugars.


Step 2:  Mix in the oil and vanilla extract with the sugars until you get a "scrub-like consistency."  Sorry the photo is a little blurry!


Step 3:  Scoop the scrub into your container of choice until full.  Note that this recipe only filled one of my containers.



Step 4:  Seal your lid onto the container.  Place embellishments onto lid and tie ribbon around container.



Here is the photo with the pretty label and ribbon from Hey Gorgeous.

I hope you enjoyed this easy project as much as I did!  Have a great day!

DRESSER TURNED TV STAND MAKEOVER

Tonight, I am so excited to share with you what hubby has been working on for the last few months in his spare time.  Let me preface by saying that we've had our TV hanging on the wall above our fire place since we purchased it about a year ago.  And though I liked it there and it fit well, it wasn't exactly what I had in mind.  You see, while the TV is on and you're sitting on the sofa curled up in a warm blanket drinking hot tea, you can't have the gas fireplace running.  Not only do I use the TV for viewing movies and television shows, but I listen to a lot of music through it.  I love our fireplace but would love it more if I could use it!  So to solve that problem I was on a mission to find a nice TV stand. After searching online and finding a lot of great furniture options, I realized I didn't really want to spend any money.  We had a dresser gifted to my husband years ago that we were planning on selling or donating but I really wanted to find a new u

DIY HOMEMADE MOD PODGE

We all know how expensive Mod Podge is at the craft store, right?  And since there are so many projects which use it, I thought I could find a homemade version  online .  Love  pinterest !  This is seriously the easiest DIY project I have ever done. Supplies: A Jar (I rescued an empty Tostitos Creamy Spinach Dip Jar YUMMM which was on its way out to be recycled) Elmer's White Glue (I used two 4 fl oz bottles) Water Before I made the Mod Podge, I washed out the jar and spray painted the lid silver.  I also took off the label from the jar and did my best to get rid of all of the adhesive (first tried a paper towel and rubbing alcohol, but it didn't work and then I tried olive oil and it worked like a charm). Instructions: Empty glue into jar Fill the empty glue bottle with water and pour into the new jar with the glue  (Ideally, you want 50% glue and 50% water) Shake, Shake, SHAKE the jar That's it!  You have made homemade mod pod

DIY BOOKCASE REVEAL

This has been a long time coming.  Mostly because I have been putting it on the back burner for, oh, 6+ months?  Hubby actually built it back in November/December-ish and it has taken me this long to finish painting.  Oh well. My thought for the office was to have something light in color and a little modern and I found the Expidit bookcase from IKEA online. via I liked the design but thought maybe having a back behind the shelving would be good.  Hubby said he would build it for me so I gladly let him!  I didn't take too many photos because hubby isn't a fan of being in photos.  Here is what I have, so take a look! This was my bookshelf for the longest time.  You can see that most shelves are painted except the very bottom and the right side of the bookcase. See how hubby added a trim on all of the horizontal pieces?  It gives it a bit of character and I really like it! So, after using the bookcase for a bit, I thought it nee
