Uses for Lavender Oil

Lavender has a scent that’s a wonderful blend of fresh, floral, clean, and calm. This dynamic scent makes it a classic for perfumes, soaps, fresheners, and beauty products. Lavender oil is a great beginner oil and a must for every home, and it’s not just a favorite because of its classic scent—it’s also highly versatile. It’s often…

Easy Rosemary and Lavender Soap

I love making my own scented soaps. They are awesome for gifts and it’s always just fun to experiment with different scents. Lately I have been drawn to Rosemary oil so I thought I would combine my two favorites Lavender and Rosemary. Now I do cheat a little and buy my soap base. For me…

One of things I miss the most since going dairy free is chocolate malt shakes. I think part is because I remember making them as a kid with my dad. They were always a special weekend treat. So I have adapted that same great chocolate mint taste but in a healthy treat. Perfect for an afternoon…

Chalk Paint Armoire – Office redo part 1

After surfing Pinterest one day I really started to hate my office. I have been working from home for about 18 years and I think my office furniture is about that old too! It’s in good shape but it’s pretty boring laminated office stuff. So I decided it was time to dress it up and…
