Coupons & Silkies

It's been raining here! It feels like spring again. I actually turned off the air. I know I'll be turning back on soon but to feel cool 60 degree weather at night! Ahhhhhhhh ;)

Since it's raining, Urban Girl is feeling quite sorry for our Silkies. She said they were so wet and needed her help. So later I find out that she has enlisted her younger sisters to help. She set up a drying station on our front porch and used her hair dryer to dry the chickens! I heard they loved it and were very relaxed. 4 Sweet Sistes Chicken Spa!

They actually looked quite nice and fluffy when I took a look later.

************************************

Yesterday, while I was looking at all of the coupons the Little Chef came to me and needed scissors to help clip. So I of course took out the ones that I needed and let her have them. Superman was going through her pile of coupons and found a $5 off of a bottle of Whiskey. Anyone else clip that one out?

In these two funny incidents I can see my beautiful daughters growing into the young women the Lord wants them to be.

Hey, remember you can always make your own Vanilla with that whiskey that's on sale!

Blessings,

P.O.O.P.I.E

People Opposing Objectionable Pretend plants in the Environment ! Okay folks it's been a week....which is way too long. Schooling 3 1/2 is a bit daunting at times. My other excuse.....I've been freaking out about lice for over a week. No, I didn't have it (this time around), but I've scratched myself raw over it! On to P.O.O.P.I.E.! Over at Nestor's she's done a short series on what's a good fake and what's not ( errr flowers that is). So after you take a peak at mine head over there and read hers and everyone else' poop (can I say that?), I mean blogs! Nesting Place is in my side bar if you need directions ( I wanted to put the button up, but have no clue). These are my year round fakies .... Superman gave me the floral arrangement about 12 years ago when we couldn't afford flowers, who am I kidding....we still can't! I did change out the pedestal urn they came in. My wonderful ivy on top of the cabinets. My chicks have always ha...

Every Last Drop!

So you love Essential Oils and you are using them on all the things; now, what do you do with all the cute little amber bottles? With the Young Living bottles you can an easily peel off the labels and refill with  your own personal blends, pop a spray top on for a spray blend, use as bud vase for a single flower or fill with Thieves Cleaner and gift to a friend who has never heard of the power of Thieves!  When my bottles are almost empty and I cannot get a drop out (even with the reducer cap off), I like to place a bunch up in the bottom of a big jar of Epsom salts. I let them sit for a week or so but there are times when I'll start using the salts right away. I just refill the salts on the top while the bottom of the container marinates. The fragrance is heavenly. You could get really fancy and save all your "fall" scents together, all your citrus scents etc. I am not that organized... I wish I was at times. *One thing I've learned is that it may not be a ...

Facial Cleanser

We've been using a surprisingly wonderful face wash for about 6 months. Guess What it is? Olive & Castor Oil! I was really surprised at how well it works and you can customize the formula to you own needs. For people with T-zone, dry or oily conditions. At www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/ they give all the details. I used an old facial cleanser bottle and tweaked the instructions to fit our needs. -15% Castor oil -85% olive oil -Shake and place in shower with wash cloth. - Gently rub 1 to 2 pumpfuls into face, neck, ears etc. (before you get in) -Use the warmth of shower to open pores. -Heat wash cloth with water, place on face for a minute or so. Then gently rub off excess oil, make up and dirt. Like I said, we've been using this for 6 months or so. In that time I've had only 1 blemish ( I'm a t-zone). My face is so much smoother and softer and this is all I do. No more 3 parts, no extra lotions! The above recipe has worked well for dry and t-zone. So we only h...
