DIY Glass Ornament Inspiration

We’re almost halfway through December (eek!) and I hope that you’re all well into the spirit of the season… hanging lights by day, drinking hot chocolate (this kind) by night, and scheming up creative gifts for those extra-deserving people in your lives.

How To Use Natural Charcoal Eye Makeup

Last weekend I found myself perusing the vendor tables at local urban farm GreensGrow. Of course I was drawn to those selling natural homemade beauty products… but there was one product in particular that stopped me dead in my tracks: 100% natural willow tree charcoal eyeliner and eyeshadow (which you can buy here).  Read More
