O

Easy peasy!

3. Spray painted with walmarts 1$ paint in "royal blue".

Done and done! 

Never waste food!

Are you a total douche who let's food go to waste after you've done a "pre diet" shopping spree? Do you clean out the fridge at the end of the week only to find that you've thrown out lots of fruits and veggies that have rotted at the bottom of the drawers? 

NO BUENO

Here are some easy tricks:

1. Bananas/fruits: do not freeze whole!

    If you'll be using them for smoothies and such, they'll be far too difficult to blend. 

2. Peel, chop, bag! Easy 

2. Greens: spinach, kale, yada, yada...

    Simple remove any part that you don't 

    Want, stuff into your ninja/blender or 

    Whatever, add a bit of water and  

   Blend, pour into ice trays, freeze and

    empty into plastic baggies. Done and  

    Done.

Remember:

1. Label your bags

2. Peel before freezing

3. Don't waste food! 💚👍👈

   

A word on love:

     Love isn't as prolific as it might seem. If you find it;  embrace it with all of your ability.

With children: Shower them with so much that the ill affects of the world cannot penetrate the covering thereof.

With friends: Love them over rivers and valleys and through torrential rains, monsoons, and landslides.

With lovers: Never give up. Love is a light that shines in the darkest corners of existence. It can be dimmed, but never put out. Keep feeding the fire...

     Though there are many translations of love, there is really just one language. Listen to it, learn it's fluency, but most importantly: speak it often. 💚

Aluminum-free Deodorant. Diy

Facts: 

-Aluminum is probably bad for your pits.

-it's been linked to breast cancer

-deodorant is expensive 

-some people are allergic to it

Do the research yourself. What do I look like? An encyclopedia? I think not my friend.

If you want to know why deodorant with Aluminum is bad for you...well, that's what Google is for. 👍

Make your own:

Materials:

Baking soda, cornstarch, coconut oil, plastic container and spoon. (Essential oils are optional. Try lavender)

1. Add equal amounts cornstarch and baking soda.

2. Add enough liquid coconut to form a paste.

3. Add essential oils (If desired for fragrance) 

Easy right? No excuse loser!

Tips:

- melt oils by running under warm water. DO NOT HEAT IN MICROWAVE OR ON STOVE TOP UNLESS YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE SKIN GRAFTS IN UOUR IMMEDIATE FUTURE. 

-this will soften In a warm bathroom. 

Anti-stank breath! (Aka fluoride-free toothpaste)

My 10 year old is a militant hippie! (There is a such thing). First she asked if we could take a road trip to Ferguson to protest and then she asked why I was allowing her to use "cancer causing, fluoride- laden, brain eating tooth paste". She then suggested I go back to making our paste so she could graduate. 😁😑.

Who made her?!!!!

Anyhow- I decided she was right because with as much research as I've done on fluoride, combined with the fact that I actually PREFER my own toothpaste, I have no business buying this stuff:

So I got to work and made a fresh batch:

1. Mix equal parts baking soda and coarse Salt (I used table Salt 😁)

2. While coconut oil is warm (In a liquid state) add just enough to make a paste.

3. Add a few drops of stevia (for taste)

4. Mix well. Store in airtight container

*tips*

-this will melt in a hot bathroom

-coconut oil will stain clothes!

-don't be a douche buy heating oils in a microwave or stove. Just run under warm  water.😀 happy brushing suckas!

Crockpot apple butter

Y'all already know I hate cooking. From the bottom of my heart. I do, however, love food! I wanted to make something for my daughters to have instead of syrup with their pancakes and decided that apple butter would be awesome. Instead of standing over a stove (yawn), I decided to follow and easy recipe and throw it all in a crock pot instead! Score!! I didn't have a crock pot though.😔😢

Then: I found a brand new one at the Salvation Army for the low, low, price of 2.99!  Score again! Yay 😊😀

Super easy! 

-pick apples

-wash

-peel

-core

-chop

-toss in crock pot with the spices of your choice (I used, salt, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon,and cloves)  top with water.

-summer until soft (overnight for me)

-remove cloves

-blend smooth 

-bottle and ENJOY!
