The Prayer Wall It used to be that when I sat down during my quiet time, I could literally never remember everything I was praying for. My other issue was that I'm terrible at memorizing stuff, so all the prayer requests I got pretty much went out the back window of my brain after the conversation was over. There was a need for a real SOLUTION. My solution was the prayer wall. It's a place were I put pictures, prayer requests, and those flyer people make with the stuff they need prayer for. It really helps and I love it because every time I come in my room it's like a little reminder goes off in my mind to pray! After I had my prayer wall for a while, I started brainstorming how we could get the family's prayers all in one place that would be cute and match the rest of the house. That's were I came up with the prayer board . Actually a lot of people do it (which I discovered later on pinterest) and there are some great ideas out there. Anyways, al...

Would you like to be able to boast that you made a lamp in your house? Well, if you do, then this is the DIY for you! Not to mention that you it's modern, personalized, and can be a fun group activity. WARNING: READ THE WHOLE THING BEFORE YOU TRY IT. Like my fake warning sign? Just getting your attention. Let's get started! Supplies Basically all you need is a paper lantern, string lights, an extension cord and a few other random things to hang it up (I'll mention these later). Now, since amazon links are AWESOME, I'm going to give you some. That means I've done all the research for you! For this project, you can use a plain white lantern and decorate it, or you can choose whatever color you'd like. Here are some  white ones  and  colored ones . You can get different sizes but to make one that is more like a lamp, I'd suggest at least 12 inches.  Again, you can get colored lights if you want, but I'd suggest just  white lights...

This guy is a lot like those sunscreen sticks you see during sunburn season. My moisture stick goes on much smoother though, and has a different purpose. Nobody likes dry skin, especially when it comes in little patches on your hands or face. The whole reason I made this was by request of my dad. He has one, bright, red, patch of annoying eczema on his face in between his eyes and beard. Why couldn't it just hide itself somewhere under the legions of hair?!? Anyway, spur-of-the moment he asked me to make something for it that he could apply really easily and had all-natural ingredients. He isn't too happy about putting gobs of chemically scented and colored "moisturizers" mostly consisting of toxic unpronounceable poisons. Applying something too fragranced wasn't an option either because it was right next to his eyeball and extremely sensitive and picky nose. No essential oils in this one, uh-uh! With all those requirements in mind, and past knowledge ...

I had so much fun doing this!!! It was a huge success among my siblings who are obsessed with good smelling and feeling lotions. They kept on putting gobs of it on and saying, "it smells like frosting!" Oh, and it did! I felt like I could practically eat it. It also looked a lot like my Grampa's famous mashed potatoes. Did I mention we were eating vegan for a month? And yea, you can't make his recipe without a few sticks of butter so our mouths were watering at the thought. A you can see here, I myself was getting a little to addicted to the scent. But who doesn't want to walk  around smelling like a peppermint candy?!? Excuse the messy hair and unmade bed in the background. But hey, who cares? Nobody's perfect and I DON'T want to be the flawless blogger girl out there! There are only a few simple and basic ingredients. In fact, I use the same ingredients for most of my projects, give or take a few. Beeswax Aloe Coconut Oil Essential Oil...
