I don’t know why, but I’ve been bothered with dry lips recently. Maybe its from pool chlorine, or just the hot weather. But really, I’ve had nearly winter level dry lips the past few weeks! So I’ve upped my lip care regimen to make sure I’m keeping my lips moisturized with lip scrubs and lip balms, and its really been helping! But I felt like I wanted a more summery lip scrub the other day. So I created this fun Watermelon Sugar Lip Scrub! I love watermelon, so you know that I love this lip scrub! It’s just so bright,… [Read More]
Sprinkle Pudding Pops
You all know that I love making my own homemade ice cream and ice pops. And actually the process behind either type of frosty treat is very simple! But sometimes I’m just having a lazy summer day, and don’t feel like even bothering with those simple treats. But rather than take the kids out for ice cream (which is strangely enough becoming more and more pricey every summer), I like to make these super-simple Sprinkle Pudding Pops! Seriously, you only need 5 minutes for these! If you were a fan of the commercial pudding pops (that were popular in the… [Read More]

Blueberry Lemon Sugar Scrub
I love all things blue! I actually styled our front porch with an aqua color scheme, I love it so much. It’s just so calming and pretty. I also love blueberries, but more because they taste so good, though being blue is a plus! I had accidentally squished a few of the blueberries I was snacking on the other day, and was reminded that their juice has a very strong color. I wondered if that color could hold up enough to dye something like a sugar scrub, and I wasn’t disappointed! Here’s how to make a naturally colored aqua Blueberry… [Read More]
Banana Bread Parfaits + Homemade Banana Bread Recipe
Whenever we have too many ripe bananas, I bake banana bread! I love it because it tastes delicious, is a frugal way to keep bananas from going to waste, and because I don’t have to add a lot of sugar (thanks to the sweet ripe/over-ripe bananas). The other day, I decided to take my frugal baking one step further and turn my homemade banana bread into some delicious parfaits. Here’s how to make your own Banana Bread Parfaits, plus I’m going to share my Homemade Banana Bread Recipe! I think banana bread should count as a serving or two of… [Read More]

Strawberry Mango Grilled Chicken Salad
It’s grilling season! I got my husband a Char-Broil Gas2Coal grill for Father’s Day, and he’s loving it (and no, this isn’t a sponsored post)! He’s made so many yummy grilled dinners the last few weeks, including some delicious grilled chicken! We can’t eat a whole chicken in one meal so there’s always leftovers. I considered freezing the excess for later, but then I thought why not use it to make a quick, delicious salad!
