A tip on Tuesday

My friend Tammy (http://tam-sense.blogspot.com/) says I have lots of awesome ideas and tips on how to make life easier/more efficient. I thought I would share some of them here. I did not come up with any of these, they have been picked up along the way from my family, friends, magazines, blogs, etc.

How to make facial toner: take a small bottle (I used the toner bottle I had just emptied) and mix together apple cider vinegar, distilled water and a few drops of tea tree oil. Approximately 10-15% of the bottle should be apple cider vinegar. Give the bottle a quick shake to mix. Pour on a cotton pad and wipe your face after washing to get off any residual make-up or oil.

The left side is done! Unfortunately, it was the easy side, no cuts needed. Now for the right side!

You can make your own eye make-up remover! Use a empty glass jar, jojoba oil, baby shampoo and distilled water. Do a few squirts of baby shampoo, a few drops of the oil and fill the jar with distilled water. You may need to increase the shampoo or oil if you can't get your mascara off. Give the jar a shake and use a cotton pad dipped in it to remove your make-up.

Starting to decorate!

A new rug! Ignore how it is off center, I am trying to flatten the edge of the rug. 

Kevin's new Man Cave

I think the coral door really butches it up.

There is always a lot of lint, moisture and dust in the bathroom. If your walls start looking.... fuzzy, wipe down the walls with vinegar and a lint free cloth. It will get  rid of the lint and any mildew that might be lurking on the walls.

Closet Progress

Check it out! We have the beginning of a closet. And we didn't kill each other while building it. 

Seating!

We moved the couch that used to be in the living room upstairs. It looks pretty sad right now, it needs fun pillows!



Now the living room looks like a sad bachelor pad. Our new couch arrives on 7/15!

If you want to hang a mirror that is mostly decorative (not the mirror over your bathroom sink), be sure it reflects something pretty. A window, a piece of art, etc. You don't want to double the view of something boring or ugly.

A busy weekend

We made a lot of progress this weekend! The stairs got primed and one coat of paint. The door frame needs some work.

The sliding door is up and so pretty!

And we moved our bed upstairs. The moving part wasn't very fun, but it's awesome to be sleeping up there! And we definitely need new nightstands, ours look small and sad.
