Homemade Body Scrub

Before I could take my shower this morning, I had to make up some more body scrub. I LOVE how smooth it makes skin feel. :)
I filled a large container half way up with ground coffee. Then, I added a couple dashes each of nutmeg, cinnamon, and red flakes flakes. Lastly, I mixed in 2 cups of brown sugar, 1 cup of oats, and 1/2 cup sugar. Then, I shook the container vigorously until all mixed together.

DIY Organizing Boxes

Finally, I took on a small project of mine this weekend. I made my organizing boxes.

I cut off the top flaps. Then, found some fabric that was big enough. Cut it to (somewhat) fit. Lol. Put down some glue. Let it dry.

Okay. Okay. That was pretty vague. But, honestly it took me about 10 minutes pet boxes. It was pretty easy. :)

Pinterest Made Me Do It!! AKA: My New Year's Resolutions

Alright.
We ALL do it. Lol. We sit and live out our lives vicariously through Pinterest.
"Why can't my house be that organized?"
"Why can't my body look like that?"
Why? Why? Why? Blah, blah, blah. We have all done it. It's time for a change. Are you ready??


Well, I am ready!!! (At least until I come down off of my adrenaline high. haha) Ready to take charge! To take back: My Life. My House. My Body. My SANITY. :)

How about you?!

Okay. GOOD! Go Us! Lol :)
