I love the TV show Pretty Little Liars. I’ve watched from the beginning and read the first 8 or 9 books. Last night was the season finale and boy was it amazing. I wanted to come up with a drink that would be inspired by the show that I could enjoy while watching. Here is […]
Easy DIY Curtains
Since I’ve been on an “update the windows” kick lately I decided to make some new curtains for our front window. When we moved in, I purchased some cheap ones from Target and they have held up pretty well; however, after 5 years it was time for some new ones. I started browsing around JoAnn […]
Does It Work – Gelatin Pore Strip
I love using pore strips. There is something satisfying about seeing all the dirt and grime come out of my face and sit on the little strip instead. Unfortunately these strips get expensive and I’ve discovered that they do seem to expire after a while. When I saw the pin about “pore strips” using gelatin […]
Sliced Cinnamon Apples
I remember the days of Boston Market and their lovely cinnamon apples (it left Seattle quite a few years ago). The apples were always one of my favorite sides to have along with the grilled chicken main dish. A few years ago I came across a recipe to duplicate those apples and make them every […]
DIY Perfume Stand
I’ve seen a few pins around Pinterest around using a cake stand as an elevated perfume stand.

Mint Rhubarb Cocktail
Last week I introduced all of you to my Rhubarb Vodka and mentioned that I would be trying out various recipes with it. I wanted a recipe that would be light and refreshing plus something where the rhubarb could come through. I’m planning on adding a bit more rhubarb to the jars to make the […]
DIY Product Photo Backdrop or Dress Up Rack
I am always looking for a better backdrop for my Etsy items. I needed something that would be interchangeable and portable. While thinking about it, I realized that wrapping paper would be perfect because it come in a variety of colors/patterns and is relatively universal in length. After building this skeleton, I had it sitting […]
Rhubarb Infused Vodka
At the end of June some friends got together for dinner and drinks. The bar we went to had offered a cocktail which included rhubarb vodka and it was delicious! After that meal I was determined to make my own rhubarb vodka. I started my batch over the 4th of July weekend with rhubarb from […]
Does It Work – Apple Cider Vinegar to Remove Dead Skin
In continuation of the Does It Work series I’m diving into the wonderful world of Apple Cider Vinegar. One of the supposed uses according to Pinterest is to remove dead skin from your feet. Last summer after my foot had spent 6 weeks in a cast it was super dry and I knew that I […]
