DIY Lavender Peppermint Sugar Scrub

February 17, 2020 Leave a Comment

Who else is ready for spring? I’m so ready! I’m so over the cold and icy weather and not to mention the dry skin that comes with it. I love a good body scrub to use in the shower or bath, but they can be pricey and you don’t always know what ingredients are in it. So this weekend I whipped up a batch of some homemade lavender peppermint sugar scrub. It’s so incredibly easy to make that I can barely call this a DIY. It consists of two ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry, plus two essential oils – that’s it! No weird ingredients and no preservatives. I’ve been trying to use more natural products with my skincare so this is a perfect solution. Plus it’s totally customizable! Don’t like the oils I’ve used? Then use whatever scents are your favourite!

Kitchen Cupboard Organization

February 9, 2020 Leave a Comment

Let’s talk organization. This is something that I actually love. Give me a label maker and I will go to town labeling everything in my sight. But for real, the best gift I’ve ever received is my label maker (thanks Joel!). Organization comes quite naturally to me. I’m not sure why, but I’ve always been a very organized person. Maybe it’s because I get this weird satisfaction whenever things are perfectly in order and in their own little space. Anyone else just love to drool over Pinterest-worthy, perfectly organized spaces? 

Maybe you’re not as obsessed with organizing as I am and maybe it’s something that you are trying to work towards this year. If that is a goal for you this year, now is the perfect time to start! I always feel like the start to a new year is the perfect opportunity to work towards organizing areas of your home. For me, my kitchen is the one area that I’m always trying to keep organized and tidy. It’s the room in our home that gets used the most and having an organizational system helps to keep everything in its place and frees up space. So this weekend I decided to finish tackling this project and the best part is that I did so with mostly dollar-store products!

I call this my "I haven't left the house in a week I call this my "I haven't left the house in a week because I've been busy renovating my basement" look 💁‍♀️. I think I can pull off being covered in paint (and dry wall dust)  pretty well by now 🙃. Although this wall behind me doesn't look like much, it has actually come such a long way. It all started when I wanted to just rip off the old wallpaper one weekend. Now here we are two months later and still working away. Even though our basement is far from being complete, lots has been done! 
✔️ wallpaper removed 
✔️ textured ceiling removed
✔️ the ugly spotlights removed and replaced with potlights (Merry Christmas to me)
✔️ ceiling skimcoated
✔️ ceiling and walls primed (still working away on some touch ups)

Unfortunately we did not get as far as we thought this week due to a few hiccups along the way. But looking back it's amazing to see how much progress has been made! The next steps will be to paint the ceilings and walls and the the fun part - getting new furniture and redecorating! 

Also raise of hands if you've been with me since day one of this project! 🙋‍♀️✋. If you have, then you probably feel my pain 😂. And if you haven't, make sure to check out my highlight reel!
