Reuse Wax Warmer

Image
If your like me you have learned the wax in the warmers have chemicals in them. And I try to live as chemical free as possible. So I tried to make my own melts with coconut oil. Which worked for a short period of time. Once my husband got me diffusers for the house I really had no need for these warmers.  I wanted salt lamps again but I'm cheap so I wasn't going to buy one. I did come up with this idea of us I g this warmer as a salt lamp. I googled it and others are too. I added rosemary and sage to mine. This is like burning sage in your house. Which after I studied Reiki and became a master I realized cleaning your house energeticly is just as important if not more then cleaning your house normally.

Lettuce wrap

Image
I'm on a journey of being a healthier vegan.  Lettuce then clover sprouts (never tried these they are good), then pico de Gallo, then avacodo, lastly cucumber. It was yummy.  You know how you see these vegans going back to animal products. This is because they were not healthy vegans. You have to make sure you get everything your body needs. Eat your fruits and veggies people raw is best. Take vitamins too.  I was starting to suffer from not being healthy... Mental fog, nails brittle, hair falling out... I'm trying to eat more raw foods. 

Cheese lasagna vegan and gluten free

This was so yummy. I will give you the recipe for a cheese lasagna, but feel free to add veggies. I added 1 zucchini, 1 carrot, and 8 oz mushrooms. I hate blogs that go on and on so here we go.  Ricotta -15 oz or close to it pressed tofu. -1 cup soaked and drained cashews -1/3 cup coconut cream -2 tablespoons nutritional yeast -garlic to taste (for me a tablespoon) -salt just a pinch (I use pink salt) -2 tablespoons nutmeg -1/4 cup vegan creamer/milk possible (if your mixture is to thick add a tablespoon at a time until you have it the way you want it) Mix all but creamer/milk. Add creamer/milk if needed a tablespoon at a time.  The lasagna (shopping list below) -Ricotta mix -spaghetti sauce (1 jar) -lasagna noodles (1 box) Grab a casserole dish or whatever you want to use. Pour a light layer of sauce to cover bottom. Layer noodles, ricotta, sauce until full or you gave as many layer as you want. If you are using veggies or vegan m

Reuse Eaaster Eggs

Don't toss your Easter eggs If you bought plastic eggs don't toss them rescue them… Use eggs in school work I started this when I was homeschooling and still do it now with public school. We hid the egg with spelling words, math problems, or whatever they need to learn. If they get the right answer they can pick a treat. Here are other ideas I found in that. 1.Bird seed eggs and flower bed https://www.creativechild.com/articles/view/3-earth-friendly-ways-to-reuse-easter-eggs 2.

Monthly visitor solution

Image
For years I was on depo so I didn't have to worry about this. In my earlier year I used tampons because they were less gross than pads. Within the last year on my journey to a natural life I changed to using a pill birth control. Not my ideal way to stop lil ones from coming, but it works right now. Anyway enter my monthly visitor. I went back to my go to... tampons, but they seemed to dry everything out. I tried coconut oil, but it was still very uncomfortable. Not to mention the chemicals in cotton grown in the US are trifluralin, monosodium methanearsonate (MSMA), disodium methanearsonate (DSMA) (organic arsenicals), fluometuron, prometryn, cyanazine, pendimethalin, norflurazon, and diuron, and the major insecticide is methyl parathion. Not sure where tampon companies get there cotton. So I listened to my body and started a search for something better… I start to see YouTube videos about the menstrual cup. At first I was like no. That seems far too weird for me. After

Instead of plastic Easter eggs

Image
It's almost Easter and every store is trying to sell you those plastic eggs. If your like me you want a non plastic option. No worries lazy mom to the rescue😀. Get treats place in a bucket, bowl, bag… whatever. Go outside find some rocks. This can be a fun family thing. Paint the rocks like Easter eggs. This part totally optional. But if your vegan like me you don't pain eggs anymore. Write a number on the rock to represent how many treats the kids get for finding it. Hid rocks Kids find rock Kids add up the numbers and get treats from the bowl. Or just hid the treats…
