DIY Coffee Body Scrub


Does this winter weather have your skin in a flaky mess?  Does it seem like you have tried everything and nothing gives you that baby soft skin?  Well if you answered yes to these questions then you need to try this.  It’s a DIY Coffee body scrub that not only softens the skin, but it also decreases the formation of cellulite and the appearance of varicose veins along with reinvigorating all of your senses.  This coffee body scrub is super easy, it takes only 5-10 minutes to prep and before you know it you will be wide awake with smoother and younger looking skin.  Now all you need is 1 cup of mid to fine coffee grounds, 1 cup of Olive oil, 3 tablespoons of lemon zest and 1 cup of brown or white sugar, mix them all together and WHAAALA! A body scrub that will get you and your skin ready for the day! Now that doesn’t sound too hard does it! Who knew something so easy could have major results. Now that’s what I call a DIY body Smackdown.

You Gotta Check Out These Sites


We just found some other great websites that will help you prepare for any upcoming occasion.  Have you ever heard of Instructables?  This social network has great ideas for the next time you host a big party or want to decorate your home.  This site lets people share their DIY projects with everyone! It’s a great way to show off your craft with the whole world.  The site also has contests going on such as the “Halloween costume contest” or “Make it real-ly scary.”  This site is great for connecting with others and sharing your ideas or getting different ideas for your next big project.  We are still in Halloween mode so you have to check out this cute pumpkin display for the front of your house. 




    


Looking to sell your crafts or buy something you just can’t make yourself?  Then here is another social network site you need to check out.  It’s called Etsy.  It’s a place for you to find other peoples’ creative projects and buy them!  Or it’s a great place for you to create something and sell it!  There are thousands and thousands of different ideas and crafts, the categories at the top making searching the site easy and enjoyable.  If you’re looking for it, it most likely can be found on Esty.

The Most Spooktacular Time Of The Year


With Halloween approaching quickly, we are trying to get in the spirit of the holiday.  We have our pumpkins lit up, bats flying around everywhere, assorted body parts laying on the floor, but our windows were looking frightfully bare.  I know I know why not use those fun little window clings to spook-a-fy our business windows.  But we were looking for something different, something that would grab the attention of the monsters and goblins passing by our shop, we wanted them to think “that is a wicked idea; I wonder how they did that.”  Well, we found the perfect thing!  This easy DIY project will have all the witches flying in on their broomsticks to check out our window display!  It was super easy too; all you need is some black construction paper and a little creativity. 

Creat fearsome creatures and display them in your window to make your haunted house the talk of the town.  This idea is a spoooky way to give a spine crawling chill to any ghost or mummy that treads past your house.
