DIY Glittery Mermaid Soap
If you've been a follower for a while you know Peyton loves mermaids. She has a few different mermaid tails and loves to swim in them. Every day she would rush home from summer camp and put her mermaid tail on and swim. However, here in the Midwest, fall is setting in and we are preparing our home and yard for winter which means we are closing the pool down. No more daily mermaid swims for her. So, to help ease the transition we are making glittery mermaid soaps! This way, she can pretend to be ...
Mint Chocolate Chip Sugar Scrub
Who doesn't love the aroma of mint chocolate chip? Peyton goes crazy for mint chocolate chip ice cream. I love mint chocolate chip ice coffee so I thought why not make a mint chocolate chip sugar scrub so I can start my day off with the indulgent aroma of mint chocolate chip in the shower? Plus, it's a great way to upcycle used k-cups and coffee grounds. ...
CocoMocha Coffee Sugar Scrub
Peyton and I enjoyed our Pralines & Cream Coffee Sugar Scrub so much last month that we decided to make a bigger batch this month with our new coffee - Brooklyn Bean Roastery CocoMoacha, a coconut chocolate flavored coffee.

You don't have to use used coffee grounds for this scrub but it's a great way to recycle or ...
3-Ingredient Sundae Coffee Sugar Scrub
Earlier this year we had a man from the environmental agency come in and talk to us about recycling. When he saw a Keurig machine in our office he nearly fell over.

So he discussed with us ways to recycle our k-cups and showed us how to do that. But it got me to thinking, what could we do with those ...
Make Your Own Ravenclaw Layered Soap
We are HUGE Harry Potter fans. I was so happy when Peyton watched the first Harry Potter movie and fell in love with the story as I did. It was even better when she saw Fantastic Beasts and love it too. Then we had our first trip to Universal Orlando and experienced the Wizarding World of Harry Potter first hand. That was one of the best weekends we've had. Butterbeer, chocolate frogs and all things Harry Potter were consumed. But now we are home in Minnesota, where there are no Harry Potter ...
