Tips

Spring break is here even tho you can't really tell as we are having temperatures in the lows 30's here in Florida. Not complaining too much tho, I know that in the states up north it's snowing :/ 

How do I relax? Browsing the web and specifically Pinterest! 

 I found few interesting things worth sharing in my opinion! 

 Ready for some tips? Here we go! 

 My first tip regards internet and money, oh yes! 

I found this interesting article on how to make money while browsing and do the things that you will normally do on line and basically working from home. I implemented some of the tips....well, I already own a few online shops, used Craigslist to clean up the garage and used few survey sites, but this gal knows a lot of them, some I never heard from! I suggest you take a peak and find the right fit for yourself. I used this down time to join as many sites as I could and some I like a lot, some I don't care for very much. 

Not sure I can keep up with ALL of them once my work days will start again, but hey, every little bit helps! 

 Like couponing? I'm trying to be super frugal, so I definitely love them, specially coupons for FREE products! If you're like me, you will love this list of companies that will give out coupon if you ask REAAAAAAAAALLY nicely! XO 

This other recommendation is more like an health tip about the many uses of raw honey and cinnamon. 

Did you know that these 2 ingredients combined can help your body fight most illnesses and even improve weight loss? I didn't, but Suzy Homefaker certainly does! 

I already tried the cold remedy on my daughter, it really worked and very fast! She improved by the very first dose, didn't complain about the taste or made a mess, plus I felt really safe giving it to her rather than use an over the counter medicine as she was miserable and I wanted to help her feel better, but really didn't want to give her chemicals. I, myself, am trying the weight loss remedy. I started yesterday and will keep updated if it really works. 

As Suzy suggest, use fresh cinnamon, the ground one that you found at the grocery store makes my mouth full of mouth sores...ouch! 

 The same goes for cream soups often called into recipes...I love using them, but I hate the chemicals in it! This recipe really helps in making your own, with ingredients that you already have home!

Hope you enjoy the tips I've found! Please let me know if you're interested in reading more of them or if you have some of your own!

Inspirational Sunday

Today's inspiration come from a pin on pinterest that I just read: 

 

 Don't forget to tell yourself that you're worth loving. 

EVERY DAY. 

NO MATTER WHAT. 

This inspired me tonight and I hope it will inspire my readers too.

Going green part 1

Did I tell you how much I love Pinterest lately? I can literally loose my all day browsing it! Among the pins I love the most are the ones where bloggers found tricks to reproduce household items at a fraction of the cost of brand names and more often than not in a way that it's much safer for human use and Earth. In honor of Earth day tomorrow, I figure I will make an effort to make my house greener.

My plan will be to replace all detergents with homemade ones as much as possible. For now I'm successfully using reusable dryer sheets as I read about in on this blog, Live Renewed The only difference for now is that I'm not using a natural detergent yet as I'm sticking to the dollar store brand to keep my detergent spending as low as possible.But never say never.....voila'! My recycled baby wipe case full of reusable dryer sheets

I tried for a few days now and they get rid of the static nicely and I think the clothes are softer and smell better than when using disposable dryer sheets. maybe I should decorate that plain white box with cupcakes???? lol

Messing around in the kitchen

I know you were hoping to see my brand new cupcake kitchen curtains, but they are not all done yet! Soon tho!

In the meanwhile, I'm having ab last trying out new recipes from Pinterest.
I'm not very good at cooking, I must admit that I'm still learning and experimenting.
Sometimes, the experiments turn out all right, like these self frosted nutella cupcakes

Some other times, I ended up with a burned mess while trying to make brittle in the microwave

And sometimes, even tho I'm very skeptical of my abilities, I end up with something awesome, like this no kneading bread

Then, I start creating my own version of tried recipes like my stuffed pasta shells

or chicken quesadilla

Made you hungry yet??
