I bought this bug bite salve kit from Bulk Herb Store last month (it was on sale) & finally got around to making it. It was super easy, really no effort at all! I made this yesterday so we haven’t got bitten yet. We’re going camping soon, so that might change. But…I did make Four … Continue reading
Several weeks ago, I saw lots of posts on FB & Pinterest about oil pulling. I read a little about it & wanted to try it. I got my shipment of coconut oil on Saturday & started oil pulling on Sunday. I’ll post links in tomorrow’s or the next day’s entry. This picture is a … Continue reading
My feelings about this sandwich were extreme. When I first saw it, I thought “That sounds amazing!”. When I looked at it again a few days later I thought “Sounds kinda gross”.

We go through A LOT of seaweed snacks around here. I hated throwing the containers away & as far as I know, they’re not recyclable in my community. I decided to keep them until I found a use for them (that’s how hoarding starts, isn’t it?). Then it hit me. Use them to start my … Continue reading
This is yet another fab idea I found on Pinterest! It’s a Summer Boredom Jar, but I plan on using it year round. First, you find a clean jar. Then you decorate it! I just put “I am bored” on mine: At the website, there are printable to-do’s including blank ones. Some are fun, some … Continue reading

While travelling in Mexico during my college years, I always enjoyed having Mexican hot chocolate at breakfast. It’s tastier than its American counterpart and has subtle notes of cinnamon. Then, many years later after moving to NYC, I discovered that the little bodega on our corner had the Abuelita…
I had never made caramel before. I was unsure about how it would turn out, having only ONE ingredient! I put the unopened can of sweetened condensed milk in the crockpot on low & left for the pirate festival. When I came back, this is what I had: I wasn’t sure if it turned out … Continue reading
