DIY: Sugar Scrub

I love fruffie soaps, bath salts, body sprays, the whole nine yards! Especially those luscious body scrubs for summer. They are great for exfoliating dead skin and moisturizing. Except that fruffie body scrubs come at a steep price that this broke college girl can't afford! So what's a crafty girl to do? Make it herself!

 

Updates on life

So, after multiple people reminding me I needed to post I figured it was time for an update! (Thank you Steve and Veronica B. ;D)

 

Dove Hunting

 For Labor Day, Dad took Jake and I out to the field we used to work for the first day of dove season. We had to be out and early (I was up at 4:45am)

As I mentioned in my previous post, the weather in the great NC has been rather fickle. We are just now getting a major heat wave! I have been taking advantage cool weather and been baking like crazy. You don't dare turn the oven on in the summer! Even with air conditioning, cranking an oven to 350 degrees will take the starch out of your undies. 

Rainy Day Crafting & Sneak Peak!

It's the middle of August. It should be 100+ degrees and people running from air conditioned building to the next. Not this summer....

 It has rained and rained and rained. Oh and did I mention, it's rained! Considering the temperatures haven't been over 90 and it's been a summer you can go outside and enjoy, the rain is most welcome! But the crops around us have suffered horribly. The tobacco was so small and withered, it was harvested early and it there wasn't much to harvest. The rest of the fields flooded out so nothing could be brought in. We only had ONE watermelon this year! (most times we have  five or six)
