Few things make my heart skip a beat like booze-infused treats. I mean, I don’t even drink much, but there’s something so intriguing about using alcohol to make something ordinary, like pie or ice cream. (Wine ice cream, anyone) It’s one of those ingredients that can steal the show on its own. As for gummy bears, one …
When it comes to birthdays and holidays, I always (always) try to gift something that’s homemade, whether it is made by me or someone else. I also make it a goal to choose an item that truly speaks to the person’s interests, likes, and hobbies. I mean, let’s be real… who needs more junky useless …
Buying gifts can do a number on the wallet, especially when you’re shopping for a big occasion like a 30th birthday. And during the holidays, it only gets crazier! Buying present after present can get really expensive, but that’s why I’m all about gifting DIY projects. Not only can you personalize the project to the …
While I’m all about fall flavors like pumpkin and cinnamon, I can’t get enough of peppermint mocha, a wintry classic. I am obsessed with Coffee Mate’s Peppermint Mocha creamer (although I started making my own) and the drink is one of the very few things I don’t mind ordering from Starbucks. Plus, I love the way the coffee and chocolate …
Is it just me, or are store-bought air fresheners and candles ridiculously strong? I mean, I’m super sensitive to intense scents, so I can always get behind gentler aromas. Enter essential oils, one of the best ways to naturally make a room smell ah-mazing. I’ve personally been all about clay diffusers, which are easy for …
Natural skincare is having a serious moment right now, and I’m all about it. Beauty products and DIY… it can’t get any better than that. Plus, I’ve been on a slow and steady personal mission to use entirely homemade toiletries and makeup. (For the things that I don’t make, I turn to the wonderful sellers of Etsy.) …
The quartz trend is going strong, but honestly, I hope it never leaves. The combination of minimalist shapes plus quartz crystal is timeless. I love that it pairs so well with basically any outfit, so what’s not to love? So for this week’s DIY project, I made a pair of quartz earrings, topped off with some wire-wrapping …
Growing up, I loved the idea of capturing a moment in a printed photo. But as I’ve gotten older (and as the digital world became a thing), I’ve been limiting the amount of physical pictures in my life. It’s less clutter, honestly. Instead, I try to stick to scrap books and other crafts with a purpose. …
When it comes to gift giving, making your own greeting cards is perfect for using up leftover supplies and remnants. I like to think of it as a little scrapbook or collage. They’re especially excellent for those awkward pieces of paper or random embellishments. Most importantly, they are way cooler than anything you’ll find in the store. …
Long-time followers will know that I’m all about music and shows. It’s always been a huge part of my life. Many of the people closest to me are musicians; I love the DIY nature of the underground rock and punk scene. So when it came time for the next round of Crafty with Canon, I didn’t hesitate to …
From incense and potpourri to candles and wax melts, I’m all about filling my home with amazing scents. Not only do I find it relaxing, but it makes me feel so much more comfortable in my own space. When it comes to incense, I usually go with the stick version. But when I recently picked up …
