It’s almost summertime! It seems like the second I put on a pair of shorts, or venture out with bare ankles, they find me… Bugs! No matter what I do, a few itchy bug bites are impossible to avoid. And with two little boys who lie in the dirt and poke at ants? Forget it! But this year, I’m prepared with a fresh batch of DIY bug bite balm. These easy itchy sticks are safe for kids and provide quick relief for minor bug bites, stings, skin irritations, and even little boo-boos!
It’s no secret that whenever possible I love to DIY. One thing you NEVER need to buy again, is expensive store-bought sugar scrub. This luxurious, skin-loving beauty product is the easiest homemade beauty project and can be made with ingredients you likely already have in your pantry: sugar and oil! I’ll even argue that it’s the only sugar scrub recipe you will ever need.
Sometimes we can all use some help winding down from the day, little ones included. This DIY lavender sleep balm is a wonderful addition to your bedtime routine. It relieves stress and encourages a good night’s sleep. Plus it’s all natural, easy to make, and safe for kids!
Let’s face it, sometimes life stinks. And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting things to smell nice! While there is certainly no shortage of air fresheners crowding the shelves of the big box stores, what’s really lurking in these fragrance sprays?
I have a confession to make. I am addicted to lip balm. I keep them everywhere. There’s my car lip balm, my stroller lip balm, diaper bag lip balm, one in the bathroom, one on my dresser, one in the pocket of my coat…. My favorite store bought version is the original Burt’s Bees lip balm. But truth be told, it was getting a little expensive! So like any crunchy frugal gal, I knew it was time to DIY. Turns out, making an all natural nourishing lip balm is super simple!
If you’re like me, you have a number of folks on your holiday list that you want to give “a little something” to show your appreciation. But a lot of “little somethings” can quickly turn into a big expense. Homemade gifts can be a great way to trim your holiday budget! This quick and easy dairy-free hot cocoa mix is festive and frugal!
One of my favorite things about the holidays is creating handmade gifts. There is something deeply satisfying about pouring thought and creativity into personalized projects at the craziest, busiest time of year. It feeds my soul and gives me a chance to think about the person I am crafting for. It also enables me to give something nicer and more personal than I could otherwise afford. I believe that whatever your skill level, there are diy projects you can totally ace! This is one of them: calming lotion bars.
