Little known fact about me: I used to hate yoghurt, but now I love it. I’m not sure if I had a traumatic childhood experience with yoghurt or what, but I never used to eat it. One day a couple years back I decided to try it again, and now I eat it almost every day! Today I’m talking about Mountain High Yoghurt and some cool stuff you can do with its tub once you’re done.

They may be messy, and kind of weird, but I love beets. I know they’re not for everybody, but they’re a big favorite in my family. My grandma came from a Pennsylvania Dutch background and she used to make her own pickled beets all the time. I grew up eating them all the time whenever I visited her, but I don’t think I ever fully appreciated them until I was in my 20s. Lately I’ve been wanting to know how to make my own pickled beets – DIY pickled beets, if you will. The process is actually super easy (although a bit messy), and there are tons of things you can do with DIY pickled beets! (more…)
Okay, so I have sort of an embarrassing story. A few weeks ago I got invited to a blogger event for Athleta UTC – it’s a fitness clothing store here in San Diego. In addition to some fun giveaways in the store, they had a free yoga session. I haven’t been working on my fitness too much lately, and it’s definitely been YEARS since I’ve done yoga, but I thought it would be fun. And it was fun… until the next day. (more…)
Hoppy Easter, everybody! I hope you’re enjoying some lovely spring weather, and if not, I hope you can enjoy some soon! Today I’m sharing with you this super easy Easter egg centerpiece that I made for my home. In fact, it was so easy, I almost didn’t blog about it. I mean, it just seems TOO easy. But I often find that the easiest crafts are my favorite on Pinterest. Why? Because I KNOW I can do them. And sometimes, you just can’t think of how to craft something until you see it. (more…)
Happy Mardi Gras, y’all. I think I like Mardi Gras so much because I love the three main colors: purple (of course), green, and yellow. I found all these masks at Dollar Tree and I decided to make a cool Mardi Gras mask wreath out of them. (more…)
Valentine’s Day is almost here, and if you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind Valentine’s gift for that special man in your life, look no further. What could be better than a year of dates all planned out ahead of time!
Hey, everybody! So, if you ever read any of my 20 Wishes posts last year, you already know that I’ve always wanted to make cheese. A long time ago I saw a post on Pinterest about making your own cheese from a gallon of milk, and I was so intrigued. How does it work? How can I make cheese? Finally, I did it. Wewt! And of course I took pictures to document it.
Would you take a look at this dapper little guy? I just adore owls, and I don’t think an owl can get any cuter than this dude wearing a suit. (more…)
Okay, so I know we’ve all had a craft fail or two, right? You know how it goes, it seems like it’s going to be an easy craft, nothing can go wrong, and then it turns out looking…y’know…meh. Well, have you ever had the opposite happen? You’re not sure about a DIY project or craft, and then it turns out SO MUCH BETTER than you were expecting. That’s exactly what happened to me with these DIY Halloween lanterns. (more…)
This is just a quick DIY post on how you can paint really fancy letters to make a custom family sign for your home. I know I probably say this on every post, but it was really easy! And this is coming from a person who has the handwriting of a third grader. (more…)
