Today, I tried a few things I found on pinterest just for fun. First, I shaved my legs with Baby Oil. It was surprisingly effective. I felt like it was a closer, cleaner shave than using shaving cream or soap. Plus, baby oil is really moisturizing, so its good for your skin.
Then, I made a sugar scrub! I used regular sugar mixed with the pink Dawn soap that has Olay hand cream in it. (2 parts sugar to one part soap). It exfoliates while you scrub, and it smells delicious!! It was nice after shaving with baby oil too. I put a jar of the scrub in the kitchen; I hate the smell of post-dish washing hands!
Now, I have cucumber lemon water cooling in the fridge. I made a glass as I was making the gallon for the fridge, and it tastes really refreshing. It's a nice addition to just drinking water, and it's healthier than all those pour in powder packets!
I LOVE TOMS, and I've been thinking about buying another pair since I wear mine to work everyday, but I found this site via pinterest, and I'm getting ready to buy Greg's Purple Paw Canvas Shoes. They are cheaper than TOMS, they still give shoes to the needy, AND they give food to hungry animals! I love supporting organizations like this, and it's nice to switch it up every once in a while.
I also made a few headbands from old T-shirts. It's super easy, and they don't squeeze my head too tight!
I also made a headband out of an old tie that I bought at Goodwill. I don't have a link for this one because it was just a random idea I had. I bought a few ties for Walker, and he just really didn't like one that I bought. haha. It's a brown paisley tie, and I like it, so it's mine now! haha. I cut the tie so that the headband is just the skinny part of the tie. Then I ironed the cut end to make a hem. I used an old earring like a tie pin where the pieces overlap so its totally adjustable.
I'm still on pinterest....so who knows what I'll do next :)
I love Purple Paw! And Pinterest is SUPER addicting... which is why I have about 3,500 things pinned. haha. Glad to see you're doing well besides being sick! :)
