  • I have been battling my landscaping for weeks trying to control weeds. I’m not a fan of poisons and plastics, but I had to do something. I did some research and found the sheet mulching method! I love DIY projects especially when I get to repurpose items that would otherwise be waste. It basically uses cardboard as weed prevention. If you’re curious how it works just follow the bio link to my blog.
  • What’s most important to you in beauty products? 💄 I look for clean 🌱 ingredients, which is typically represented to me by a good @environmentalworkinggroup score. I also prefer my products to be cruelty-free, low-waste packaging, and palm-oil free. So I’m a bit of a research junkie when it comes to replacing my empties. @rmsbeauty is a brand I believe holds my same values and has top rated products that would work well with my dry skin. ✨ It is higher end pricing, but I’m hoping it’s worth the investment. I plan on doing a full review of this foundation and concealer once I’ve really had a chance to try it out, but first impressions are good. Have you tried it?
  • I am so impressed by this flax seed gel! If you saw my stories last week, you know I tried making a natural hair styling gel. I haven’t been styling my hair much in quarantine so I’m just now trying it out. Pros: 🔘So inexpensive! 💰 The batch I made cost about 14 cents. 🔘Has good curl hold and form. 🔘Made my hair shine ✨ 🔘Simple to make. Cons: 🔘Short shelf life. 🔘Process of making takes a couple of hours. #flaxseedgel #naturalhaircaretips #diyproduct #naturalcurlygirl #huntsvilleblogger #bloggerselfie
  • Finally finished my macrame! Make it work seems to be my motto for most things I try BUT I have found that “limitations” strongly influence my creativity. ✨ I drastically underestimated the amount of cord it would take to create one of these large wall hangings. More intricate knots apparently take up around triple their length or more. This took a lot of trial and error but I think in the end it is just as beautiful. Although it’s clearly not a direct comparison, this project got me thinking. In times when you’re feeling lack or like you can’t accomplish your goals because you don’t have the resources or support that others (seemingly) do, get creative and keep trying in new ways. If you keep pursuing your goal the way things have already been done, you’ll just be recreating what already exists. And the world needs more of YOUR perspective. Whatever you’re doing will be even more beautiful because it came from you. ❤️
