How to Fill Up Wall Space [ad]

One of the exciting things about moving into a new house is determining how to turn an empty house in a home for your family. Furniture, window fixings, and decor are all options for making a house more personalized. Between area rugs, comfy pillows, floral arrangements, and plants, it doesn't take long before any space starts to look lived in and beautiful. 

However, there is one space that many people struggle to fill. It's a space in every single room and while many people experiment, it doesn't always turn out right. This particular space is the wall. Walls are in every single room of a house and they're very important to the structure. However, many people don't know how to effectively decorate them. Consider these ideas to fill up wall space and create a beautiful living environment. 

1. Mirrors
Mirrors are interesting pieces to add to a wall. Think of mirrors as picture frames with real-time subjects. When most people see a mirror, they gravitate toward it so they can see their reflection. Mirrors are available everywhere from consignment shops and thrift stores to department stores and antique shops. 

2. Murals 
Mural wallpaper gives a sense of elegance to any room they hang in. When many people think of murals, they often think of museums or really uptight boutiques with tons of breakable items. Murals are a beautiful way to transform the walls in a home. Because they are often so ornate and beautiful, a person can use the mural as the main decor and keep everything else in the room monochromatic. Mural Sources sells tons of different mural pieces at a variety of price ranges. There are also lots of different scenes to choose from include ones with an American emphasis and others with a European or Caribbean emphasis. 

3. Paint 
Paint is often the go-to source for many people. It really can make a huge difference when it is used on walls. When dealing with paint, it is important to choose the right color to evoke the desired ambiance. A trend that's growing in popularity is the statement wall. The statement wall is one wall with a strong color pop to really stand as the accent in the room. Many people choose a daring color for the accent wall and then work around it. For a bold statement, some great choices for the accent wall include cobalt blue, sunflower yellow, brick red, charcoal gray and deep plum. 

These ideas are enough to get any person started on their project of filling the walls. With a few picture frames, creativity and dedication, the wall spaces will completely turn a house into a home.


Tips for Relaxing at Home Without Spending a Fortune [ad]

Everybody gets stressed out, and most of us get stressed out on a weekly basis. Whether you’re dealing with stress from work or your personal life, you don’t want to carry that around with you all the time.

That’s why it’s so important to de-stress after a long work week or simply when you need it. But if your stress comes from not having enough money, you can’t go get a massage or spend your money on a fancy dinner with friends. So what do you do?

Use this guide to help you learn more about inexpensive ways you can relax at home. 

Make Your Favorite Meal

You shouldn’t eat just for comfort, but the idea of comfort food isn’t a new one. When people feel stressed, sometimes a meal that they really love is all that it takes to get them back on track.

Cooking at home can save you a fortune. Meals do not have to be elaborate. Simple and delicious recipes can be easily found online to make yourself and your family a delicious and nutritious dinner. Open a bottle of wine, enjoy a beer or have a favorite non-alcoholic beverage.

You just might feel better than you think after only a few hours in the kitchen. However, those of us with children might have not the time to spend a few hours in the kitchen cooking and enjoying adults beverages, so here are some other tips to help unwind (after the kids go to bed!).

Try a Relaxing Bath

Sometimes taking a few minutes out for yourself can really make all the difference in the world, so why not try a relaxing bath? Scented products that you really can make a basic bath even more enjoyable, but you don't have to spend a fortune on them.

Items like patchouli shampoo and bath bombs can make a simple bath a lot more pleasant. Pick out your favorite scents and keep them on hand for when you need a little bit of time to de-stress after a hard day.

The cost of a relaxing bath, even if you include the water, is probably less than $1! You’re not going to beat that with any other activity.

Watch a Movie

If you’re like most people, you probably have streaming services like Netflix or cable television. If you do not, then pop in a movie! Movies can be rented for free from your local library. All you need after a hard day is to escape to another world once in a while, and nothing does the job quite as well as a movie.

My favorite movies are romantic comedies. They make me laugh and make me feel better. Choosing something lighthearted versus an action movie or a scary movie is the way to go. Cuddle up with the one you love and relax at home without spending a fortune.

Personalized Gifts for the Hard to Shop for Person [review]

Personalized gifts have become quite popular over the past several years. More companies and small businesses are offering customization options on just about anything. A personalized gift can be the perfect gift for that hard to shop for person. When I was shopping for my husband's Christmas gift - a personalized bourbon barrel head - I came across Joanna Tate Monograms on Etsy. Joanna offers personalized wooden products, including reclaimed wooden products.


Monogrammed Bourbon Barrel Head       
Rating: total green check marks out of 5.

Disclosure: I received a discount on shipping to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own and are honest.

The Good
The Not So Good
Reclaimed wood

Professional designs

Custom made

Ready to hang


I ordered a bourbon barrel head with a simple monogram of our last name (similar to the design above) and the year we were established (married). We have one child for now, so I did not want to add his name in case we have more children. I also did want to just include our names because it is more than just us in our family. I wanted a heirloom gift that can be passed on to our son.

The personalized bourbon barrel top came as promised by Joanna. The box was quite large and had a Fragile sticker on it, which is good for shipping purposes. The barrel top was packaged well inside. It was protected well.

I was giving the monogrammed bourbon barrel top as a Christmas gift for my husband, so I wrapped it in the box that it arrived it. When my husband opened his gift, we were both impressed! The size of the barrel top was quite impressive and the design was very professional. The barrel top is stained and has a clear finish. The design and the look was just what I expected after browsing the selection that Joanna Tate Monograms offers.


 

A personalized bourbon barrel head is a great gift for a bourbon enthusiast! Joanna Tate Monograms reclaims bourbon barrel heads and turns them into beautiful artwork to display in your home!

Affordable K-Cups [review]

Making coffee is one of the first things I do in the morning. Over the many years of drinking coffee, I realized that I prefer the darker roasts. I have tried the lighter roasts, like Medium, but they do not give me the same energy boost as the Dark and Extra Dark roasts. Coffee can get expensive, especially when you use machines like a Keurig. Java Fly is a coffee wholesaler that strives to make great coffee affordable. Their selection of single serve coffee options and brands is extensive.


Java Fly Coffee       
Rating: total green check marks out of 5.

Disclosure: I received the product to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own and are honest.

The Good
The Not So Good
Affordable coffee

Great flavor






I received K-cups in two types: Faro Rose Noire and Faro Sumatra Mandheling. I sent these K-cups with my husband to work. The cups are compatible with Keurig K-cup brewing systems.

I am going to focus this review on the flavors. As I mentioned, I love darker roasts because I feel like they give more of a boost. My husband prefers the same.

Rose Noire (Black Rose) is a dark roast coffee. The flavor is smooth, pleasant, and lingers on the tongue. My husband used the 10 oz setting on the Keurig to brew the coffee. He recommends trying a lower volume of water to really feel the full strength of this dark roast. Rose Noire was easy to drink and my husband really liked it.

Sumatra Mandheling is a medium roast coffee. The taste was smooth. The flavor is characteristic of the flavor you would expect from a Sumatra. Again, my husband recommended trying a lower volume of water to really full the full strength of the flavor.

My husband really liked both coffees, though he said that Rose Noire was more of an afternoon coffee for him.

Benefits of Natural and Organic Skincare Products [ad]

The Benefits of Natural and Organic Skincare Products

With all the talk of natural and organic skincare products, like those you can find if you click here, you’re probably wondering what benefits they actually provide. That is why we have complied the top benefits that these safe and effective items give to their user.

Better for the Environment

Skincare products that are made from chemicals can have a negative impact on the environment. Not only after they are bought but also while they are being produced. During the production of these chemical-filled products, the toxins are released in the air, water and even soil. And when you actively use these products, you are contributing to the demise of our environment. That is why natural and organically created products are so important. When they are made and used, they introduce little to no toxic and dangerous chemicals into the environment.

Less Irritation

Fillers, chemicals and artificial ingredients commonly found in mass produced skincare products are well known in their ability to cause skin irritation, redness and breakouts even in those individuals who have previously never had any problems. The truth is, many people are allergic to chemicals typically found in mass produced items. Using natural skincare products are better for your skin and don’t poison your body with unnecessary and potentially dangerous ingredients.

Improve your Overall Health and Well Being

The ingredients in chemically produced skincare products generally not smell that pleasant. To mask this chemical odor, manufactures use artificial fragrances. This means more chemicals are added to the item to try to hide that chemical smell. And, while the artificial fragrances may mask the original odor, all these chemicals do are increase the chance of headaches and aggravate respiratory conditions like asthma and allergies. Natural skincare products have no need to use artificial fragrances.

Gentler on your Skin

Natural skincare products work better than their chemically-filled counterparts because you’re not introducing irritants, fillers and toxins into your body. Unfortunately, some people stop using natural skincare products because they don’t see the desired results after a short time of use. Because of this, some people don’t get to see the amazing benefits that natural products provide.

Less Side Effects

Mass produced skincare products typically use parabens as a way to preserve the shelf life of the item. Unfortunately, parabens are a synthetic ingredient that can mimic the hormones naturally produced by your body, which can interfere with your body’s natural functions. Natural and organic products, however, don’t contain parabens and thus have less side effects than chemically-filled items.

Luxury Maternity and Nursing Cover [review]

Once you become a mom, the stuff that you take with you when you leave the house seems to multiply! Though I have downsized over the months and years, I try hard to find products that are multipurpose. A maternity and nursing cover that can be worn at least 15 different ways is a must have nursing item for any pregnant woman or nursing mother.



Boho Mama Nursing Cover      
Rating: total green check marks out of 5.
Disclosure: I received the product to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own and are honest. 

The Good
The Not So Good
Made from organic bamboo fabric
Snaps might need reinforcement
Soft and stretchy






The Boho Mama nursing cover is not just a nursing cover, but a must have accessory for every pregnant or nursing mom. The cover is made from organic bamboo with a little bit of spandex. This combination makes for very luxurious feeling fabric. I am a very touch oriented person and want soft items for my child.

The nursing cover is a combination of a true nursing cover and a nursing scarf. The size is a bit bigger than what I would usually wear as a scarf, but I could see myself wearing it during the colder winter months. It's nice that it can just be thrown on like a scarf or a cover for myself instead of stuffing yet another item in the diaper bag. If I do need to put it in the diaper bag, the cover takes up very little space.



Usage: There are many different ways to use the Boho Mama cover, here are some of them:
  1. Wear it around your neck like a scarf.
  2. Wrap around your shoulders like a shawl.
  3. Wrap around the baby as a blanket or swaddle.
  4. Use as a cardigan or wrap around yourself.
  5. Wrap around baby while baby wearing for extra warmth.
  6. Use as a car seat cover.
  7. Use as a changing pad.
The beauty of investing in the Boho Mama cover is that it can be used during pregnancy, during breastfeeding, and beyond.




My Thoughts: I really like the Boho Mama cover. Although I am no longer breastfeeding, I still have a 2.5 year old toddler to take care of every day. One of my favorite things about the cover is that I can use it in so many different ways. I like having a blanket/cover type item with me when I leave the house, whether I need to wrap something around my shoulders to stay warm, or I need to change a diaper on the go. The cover is a good size and is similar to my pashmina scarf that I wear all the time. I am 5'4 and have a slim athletic build, so the larger size worked as a good shawl/torso cover.



The Boho Mama luxury nursing wrap is the perfect gift for a baby shower or a sprinkle shower. A classic nursing cover with a modern feel and function will make any mom feel special. Get rid of the big cotton tent around yourself and the baby and cover both of you with breathable, soft fabric.


Fluoride-Free Natural Toothpaste My Toddler Loves [review]

After years of searching and trying natural beauty and body product companies, I have realized that the best (all natural and even organic) products come from small businesses. There are many bigger natural beauty brands out there that can be found on the shelves of natural food stores like Whole Foods. However, I am not 100% comfortable with their natural ingredients list. Either not all of the ingredients are natural or some natural ingredients are not quite good for us. I look toward smaller companies that live their mission of providing truly non-toxic products. Morocco Naturals offers whole food personal care products that feed the skin and nourish the body.



Tooth Fairy Toothpaste             
Congest Ease                             
Healing Chrysm                          
Rating: total green check marks out of 5.

Disclosure: I received a sample of the products to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own and are honest

The Good
The Not So Good
Natural ingredients you can pronounce
Plastic containers
Effective






Morocco Naturals is a company that started after seeing a need for a natural and effective toothpaste. The team wanted to create products that were safe to use on children and adults. They started with high quality essential oils and butters and created health and beauty products that do NOT contain artificial ingredients, preservatives, or chemicals.

I received a sample of products that Morocco Naturals offers, including the Tooth Fairy fluoride-free toothpaste, Congest Ease natural decongestant, and Healing Chrysm all natural pain reliever.

I'm going to provide detailed reviews of the products because I really believe in what this company is doing and I am impressed with their products and ingredient lists.


Tooth Fairy fluoride-free toothpaste whitens teeth, deodorizes the mouth, restores pH balance, calms sensitive teeth, and can heal mouth sores. It is safe for the whole family to use! I was most interested in this fluoride-free toothpaste for my 2.t year old toddler. After 2+ years of using my homemade toothpaste, he started to refuse brushing his teeth with it. I tried a few other natural brands, but he did not like them either. Tooth Fairy toothpaste in CreamSycle has been a hit! He loves brushing his teeth with it. I think he likes that it has an orange flavor (his favorite color and one of his favorite fruits) and is a little on the sweeter side from the Stevia. I was a little hesitant when I read that the toothpaste contains Stevia because I try to limit sugar and sweet tastes, but the toothpaste is not too sweet. Plus, the essential oils in the toothpaste provide real, natural flavor as opposed to "natural flavors" that are found in a lot of kid toothpastes. This toothpaste has a gel like consistency.

 

Tooth Fairy Fluoride-Free Toothpaste Ingredients: 
Baking Soda, Xylitol, Xanthum Gum, Stevia, Vegetable Glycerin, Water, Grapefruit Seed Extract, Essential Oils

>> The ingredients list is about the most natural you can find in a product that is not homemade. Though I do not specifically seek out xylitol in toothpaste, I have read that it has some benefits. I have read mixed messages on Xanthum Gum and Xanthum Gum. Since they are fairly natural and would not really be consumed (other than what little bit is swallowed), I am not too worried. Grapefruit Seed Extract is used as a natural preservative and about the most natural preservative you can find. Since the toothpaste contains water as an ingredient (as does my homemade toothpaste), a preservative is needed for longer shelf life. Essential Oils include orange, lemon, and grapefruit as a flavors. Compared to other natural toothpastes I have come across, this is about the most natural ingredients list you can find for a fluoride-free natural toothpaste.


Congest Ease is a natural decongestant. Congest Ease contains natural butters and essential oils. Essential oils get absorbed by the body and help to relieve congestion and open up the air ways. The natural butters and oils help to dilute the essential oils and help the skin to absorb them. Congest Ease natural decongestant gets rubbed on the chest, back, and the bottom of feet to help eliminate congestion and reduce coughing. I have been using this periodically when my son catches a cold or has a coughing spell or wheezing from outdoor-related asthma. I rub on the chest, back, and feet just before bed and whenever I change him. I have also been using it on myself and have found that it did help to relieve stuffy noses.


Congest Ease Ingredients:
Palm Butter, Mango Butter, Shea Butter, Avocado Butter, Aloe Butter, Almond Butter, Eucalyptus Oil, Menthol Oil, Camphor Oil, Tea Tree Oil

>> The essential oils used as your standard decongestants. I like the mix of natural butters to help the oils absorb into the skin. Each butter has a different viscosity, which helps to create this balm.


Healing Chrysm is a natural pain reliever that comes in a balm you can rub wherever you need. Most common uses: burns, bruising, sunburns, eye pain, tooth and gum pain, earaches, and minor cuts. I was really intrigued by the ingredients list, which contains Helichrysum is an essential oil that heals nerves. Arnica is an all around pain reliever and inflammation and bruise reliever and is found in a lot of natural pain relievers. Tea Tree oil is a great addition to disinfect any cuts or scrapes. I started off using Healing Chrysm on my tight and sore shoulders. I rubbed just a little bit on both sides. A little went a long way. After a little while, the pain reduced. I have also tried it on really chapped lips and found that the lips healed much faster than when I use my standard lip balm. A 2 oz jar of Healing Chrysm is quite an investment (helichrysum oil is expensive), so I have been keeping it for emergency purposes. It does work! And, reapplying is the secret to its effectiveness!

 

Healing Chrysm Ingredients:
Palm Butter, Beeswax, Olive Oil, Helichrysum, Arnica, Tea Tree Oil, Essential Oils

>> Ingredients are pretty standard and 100% natural. Beeswax helps to keep the Healing Chrysm balm on the skim, which the oils and butters help to dilute the essential oils and help them to absorb into the skin. I assume Helychrysum is of a pure essential oil quality, as is the Tea Tree Oil.

My Thoughts: I am very impressed with the products. They work! I will be purchasing more toothpaste for my son since he really likes the Orange CreamSycle flavor. I feel comfortable using these products with my whole family, knowing that the ingredients are ones I can pronounce and are the least toxic to our bodies. If you are looking for natural body products, check out Morocco Naturals!

Remember to always read the ingredients list! The list will give you insight into exactly what you are putting on your body. And, when in doubt, use your phone to google an ingredient.
