DIY Natural Eye Makeup Remover

DIY Natural Eye Makeup Remover

By Justin Weinger 11 Comments

I decided to experiment with making  DIY natural eye makeup remover out of pure necessity.  I was just about to run out of the name brand natural-ish eye makeup remover and thought the $20 price tag attached to it could be better invested in buying some Castile soap, which I could use to make many other homemade products in the future. … [Read more...]

Making Your Own Hummingbird Food

Making Your Own Hummingbird Food

By Justin Weinger 11 Comments

Making your own hummingbird food is quick, cheap and easy. Sure, you can buy hummingbird food that you can mix up for a couple dollars or the pre-made stuff for about $5 a bottle, but that hummingbird food has dyes in it that are not good for the hummingbirds. Some people like the idea of the red color because it has been used in the marketing of bird feeders so much, but it's much better to make your own. … [Read more...]

Simple DIY Nightstand for Small Spaces

By Justin Weinger 10 Comments

I went in search of a nightstand for a very narrow area on one side of a bed in our guestroom and had very poor luck finding anything. Admittedly, I did find a couple of things but they were much more expensive than I thought they should be or was willing to pay. I saw a couple cute ideas on pinterest but they were a lot more labor intensive than I wanted, or required skills I do not really possess, or they just didn't have the look I wanted. So, I started to think outside the box and see what I … [Read more...]

DIY Patriotic Wreath

DIY Patriotic Wreath

By Justin Weinger 8 Comments

I am a wreath person. I admit it. There is no shame in it. I change out my wreaths seasonally and often I change them out for holidays as well. I even have wreaths for indoors. I didn't realize I had such a "wreath thing" going on until I starting writing this post and was looking for links of other wreath posts I have done, which I will share at the end. My seasonal wreaths might last just one season or the same season for a couple of years depending, but the holiday one might only be up for … [Read more...]
