I need to get a job stat! Otherwise, I'm going to spend all my money on pretty things from Etsy. Here are a few of my favorites (I'm loving yellows and golds right now; can you tell?): I wish that I had a birthday every month. I'm...

Remember my post about silly animal paintings? Danielle wanted me to paint her two sweet cats, Chowder and Maxine, shortly after we moved into the new house. I tackled the project in my first little bit of free time: Next in line are my friends Taylor (who has an adorable dog named Nellie) and Katie (who owns two beautiful dogs named Sam and Mia). I'm pretty excited; dogs are my favorite. Several health and beauty related posts are on the way, I promise. Between looking for jobs and the frequent trips to target/marshalls/kroger/walmart, I haven't had much spare time for...

I'm just gonna go ahead and warn everyone: this post is about to be a link fest. The pretty glass bottle that my Burt's Bees Vitamin E Body & Bath Oil came in has inspired me to buy more glass bottles for storing homemade health and beauty products. My friend Chuck told me about two really neat websites where I can find glass bottles for next to nothing (SKS Bottle & Packaging, Inc. & Sunburst Bottle Company), and I'm pretty pumped about it. The first two projects that I plan to fill some bottles...

I successfully traded in most of my old health and beauty products for safer (and consequently, more expensive) alternatives...but perfume was kind of a hard habit to break. I'd spray just a little on top of my clothes instead of directly on my...

photo credit: katerha Lemonade is probably second favorite beverage that's not very good for me (Horizon Organic Chocolate Milk is my number one favorite). I'll occasionally tell myself that it is a fruit juice since it's made from the juice of fruit, but in reality lemons don't do my body nearly enough good to make up for all the...
I got bored and made a headband.

I've been really wanting a fancy headband in my life, but I'm a little broke right now. Today I cut a flower out of an old dog shirt and sewed it onto an old headband with a button and some thread. It was easy; it only took about ten minutes. I'd really like to make more, but I need to get my hands on some pretty fabric...
