Finally, this year we are able to use the soil from our compost bin. Last year we used just a little of it because it wasn't ready and we didn't grow much of our food. This year it looks like we are going to have plenty of different kinds of tomatoes, yellow squash, and herbs.... Continue Reading →
Months ago I came across a post from where I found out that it is good to wash your face with oil(s). Yes, THE oils that you cook with. I was sceptic at the beginning so I started reading more about it just from a curiosity. I am not going to re-write here what I... Continue Reading →
I've been working on this one project for sometime now. I would've done it weeks ago but I lost my interest in crocheting for a while and in addition my scissors are so dull it's really hard to use them so, many times I just would lose my patience and stop working. I need to... Continue Reading →
Finally! Finally, I got rid of all of my store-bought deodorants. I make my own body lotions, scrubs and face creams so, I asked myself, why haven't I made a deodorant yet 🙂 For years I've been using Tom's because it does not have Aluminum in it which: has been linked to breast cancer in...

Speaking about green and sustainable living.... I never thought I will go that way, but so far I really like it, and I'm planning to do much more. Since I started making body lotions I've read dozens of websites and articles about how toxic are the ingredients that cosmetic companies use in their produce. Body... Continue Reading →
I use it to make breadcrumbs... . I do not remember when was the last time I bought breadcrumbs. I do not use a lot of it in my cooking but when I need it it's always in my fridge. Once a month or even less often I gather all the old bread I have... Continue Reading →
Here I am... Again with my coffee body lotion. I love this lotion so much that I think I will never stop making it. The last few times I've used cocoa butter with it, and it's even better that my "only coffee" lotions. I can't say I didn't like my last creation - oatmeal cocoa... Continue Reading →
I got up today and felt like I want to make some granola for snacking later. I started gathering all the ingredients together on the kitchen counter and when I looked at the oatmeal I remembered that I have never posted pictures and recipe for my oatmeal cocoa butter honey milk lotion. I'm almost out... Continue Reading →
Yep, it's exactly what you see! Yarn made from plastic bags. How I made it?! Easy! It's funny because every time we went shopping we would take paper bags. Now I don't bother to ask them for papers because I don't mind (and I actually want) plastic bags. They are so cool for crochet projects.... Continue Reading →
Doesn't that sound great!?!?!? 🙂 It feels even better! I got very happy when I saw on Rebbeca's Soap Deli News that she is talking about my coffee body lotion. Thanks a lot! It made me even happier when I saw my crochet camera strap cover being featured at J&M Eye Candy. Back to my... Continue Reading →
