We spend on average 1/3 of our lives in bed. That is a lot of time when you think about it. With all that time spent why not make sure your bedding is high-quality and good for your body.

We all know that it’s important to eat good, exercise and take care of our bodies. We watch what we put into our bodies but shouldn’t we also be careful what clothes we wear or what products are touching our skin?

So, 10 things I’ve learned about myself. Where do I start?

So, how to macrame?

My first memory of macrame was in my Oma’s (german grandma) house. To this day she still has a variety of macrame wall hangings and plant hangings she made in the 70s. I grew up admiring them but only recently realized how cool they were and how much I wanted to make my own. Funny how trends come back in style.

I had platinum blonde for around four years and in that time I did it all on my own. It saved me thousands of dollars and the best part - it’s not that hard to do yourself. Here is my guide to how I achieved my light and bright hair color for those years.

I have really dry skin and have tried so many store brands there over the years to help my skin but nothing has really done it for me like this homemade body butter. In fact, I normally get into these random DIY crazes and this natural homemade body butter came from one of those crazes over eight years ago.

I love DIY projects so I figured I’d create my own pair of DIY distressed jeans! I knew I could get there if I put some sweat into it and I feel pretty pleased with the final result.
