I am the type of person that prefers to make things myself before spending money on them especially when it comes to beauty products. I think what I love most about making my own is that I can tailor it to my needs but most importantly making it myself means I KNOW WHAT IS IN IT! There are so many brands that claim to be green but aren’t. We are so “green washed “ that we don’t even know who or what to trust anymore. I can’t make every single item myself so I have to pick and choose where I need to, but I am much more aware than I was in my younger days. I made these cinnamon sugar lip scrubs for a gathering we are having tonight. It contains all natural ingredients and it’s safe enough to ingest! You can even use it as a body scrub. 🍂 🍂 Cinnamon sugar lip scrub 🍂 🍂 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 tbsp honey 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil 3 drops cinnamon bark Makes 10 tins 🍂 🍂 #diylipscrub #diybeauty #diybeautytips #wellnessblogger #essentialoils #younglivingessentialoils #yleotips #yleocanada #yleo #younglivingcanada #younglivingaustralia #healthandwellness #cleanbeautythatworks #cleanbeautyproducts

Anyone else just love @traderjoes for flowers and greenery among other things? I’m obsessed. My husband came home the other day and asked me who the flowers were from 🤣. Who says I can’t buy them for myself🤷🏻‍♀️. Anyways I’m still slowly adding small touches of fall to my home because it hasn’t really felt like fall yet 😭. It was in the 80’s last week and this week is nonstop rain! It’s just confusing and sad! I just want a real fall and not one that lasts a week!!! What’s the weather like in your area???🍂 🍂 🍂 #fall #shelfstyle #shelfie #alltheneutralfeels #midcentury #midcenturydecor #traderjoes #diningroom #diningroomdecor #kitchen #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantshelfie #thriftstoredecor #myhybridstyle #apartmentherapy #myanthropologie #sharemypier1 #luluandgeorgia #benjaminmoorepaint #reverepewter #whitedovepaint #hearthandhand

Fall is my favorite time of the year hands down! I basically start celebrating fall in August even though I get made fun of by some of my friends 🤷🏻‍♀️. My fall decor is pretty subtle for the most part. I love natural elements like wood,plants, branches, and lots of texture! Fiona found these bats that we got last year for her birthday party and wanted to stick them on the wall. Mysteriously all of the ones she put up there flew away 😜. How do you like to decorate for fall??? #alltheneutralfeels #midcenturydecor #midcenturystyle #thriftedhome #sharemypier1 #sodomino #bhg #myanthropologie #luluandgeorgia #myhomegoodsbuy #gofinding #apartmenttherapy #mythriftedhome #mystoryfilledhome #mybrightdiy #fauxbrick #fauxbrickwall #diy #inspiringwithus #bhghome #bhghowiholiday #yleo #younglivingessentialoils #younglivingariadiffuser

Our guest room is finally complete! A few of my friends here on Instagram were part of the #250refreshcrew, where they were challenged to refresh a room in their home for $250 or under. I decided to play along since I had a room that I needed to makeover, and thought it would be a great challenge for me to see if I could do it for less than $250! This was seriously so much fun! I enjoyed hunting for things either in my own home or at thrift stores and maybe target too. 😜here is the cost breakdown of what I spent on this room! Curtains- $39.58 (@target) Curtain rod- $25.64 (@target ) Accordion rack- $1.97 (thrift store) Headboard-$25 (fb marketplace ) Black spray paint 2 cans- $10 (@homedepot) Scalloped wood bowl $.97( thrift store) Grand total: $98.56!!! I gave my old bedroom set to my mom. The set was just way too big for this space. She gave me her metal queen bed frame-even trade 🤣. I used to have so much trouble letting go of material things. I would keep them even though they didn’t work because they held some sort of sentimental value to me. Silly, I know! But I’m getting so much better about it and now I want to get rid of everything 😂😂😂. Anyways, everything else you see in here was from another spot in my home or just sitting in my Monica closet 😬! This challenge really opened my eyes to how much we already have around the house that can be repurposed and may work better in a different space. So before I go out and buy something new I walk around my house and take inventory of what I already own! #bedroomdecor #bedroommakeover #thriftstorefinds #thriftstoredecor #guestroom #guestroommakeover #guestroomrefresh #250refreshcrew #targetstyle #queensizebed #metalheadboard #younglivingessentialoils #youngliving #yleo #alltheneutralfeels #mystoryfilledhome #homegirlslovehomedecor #girlsjustwanttodiy #neutralhomedecor #neutralbedroom #neutralbedding #neutralbedroomdecor

Oily tip-have them out where you can see them! I reach for my oils multiple times a day. I have them in nearly every room of my home and take them with me on the go. You don’t need anything fancy or pretty to store them on but it doesn’t hurt 😜. I’m super excited about my new wellness cabinet from @wayfair. Now we can all see our oils and reach for them easily when we need them. Essential oils are most beneficial when used regularly so get them out where you can see them and use them!✨ ✨ ✨ Tell me how you store your oils? ✨ ✨ #essentialoils #wellness #younglivingessentialoils #youngliving #alltheneutralfeels #yleo #yleotips #birdtattoo #oilshelf #oilshelfie #essentialoilshelf #oilshelves #wayfair #kateandlaurel #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #healthylivingjourney #healthylivingtips
