So, for this week’s craft tutorial, I whipped up a little air plant holder with air drying …
This DIY rose earl grey scrub was born out of my two latest obsession: rose-infused things and earl grey tea. There’s something so soothing about the scent of roses, especially in tea or candle form. And then there’s earl grey, a tea that has managed to replace my coffee addiction. (There, I said it.) It’s even gotten to …
If I can incorporate natural elements into a project, you know I’m all about it. After all, one of my favorite projects is this set of DIY Dried Flower Anchor Ornaments.
