Forgotten Pictures

I was browsing in my picture folder today and I found a bunch of pictures taken from vacations that I had completely forgotten about. We had a few outing to some amazing waterfalls and "bassins" and I wanted to share the pictures with you. Have a lovely day!

I'm a Driver!

I'm so excited I got my driver's license! This has been such a stressful time for me, learning how to drive from scratch in a short amount of time. But now it's all over and I can just relax and enjoy. A big thank you to everyone who sent well wishes and prayed for my test--you guys are wonderful!

To anyone here in Pretoria looking for a good driving school I recommend My Driving School. They have very nice, easy-to-drive-cars, and good instructors.

Costume-ing!

Here's a belly dance costume that needs a little help. It's one of the projects I'm working on at the moment. Tina gave it to me a while back but I haven't had time to work on it till now. Notice the the nipple-flowers! I have a lot of work ahead of me. When it's done I'll post some pictures and then you can see the "before" and "after".

Yum-Scrub!

In the cold and dry climate we have here in Pretoria it's hard for me to keep my skin happy and healthy. I had some recipes for DIY body scrubs and I thought it wouldn't hurt to try. After all I have most of the ingredients in my kitchen. No need to go buy some expensive moisturizer or scrub! I found a lot of different recipes online and some helpful articles as well...( it's not a good idea to use anything you find in your kitchen!! )

Here's the concoction I made:
4 tbsp coffee ( I used "used coffee grains"
3 tbsp sugar
5 tbsp olive oil ( use just enough oil to moisten and barely cover the other ingredients )

Mix well together and store in a little jar. Voila! You have your very own body scrub.

Start out making a small amount as these scrubs won't last too long. It's also nice to add some essential oils to give your mixture that extra special touch. My scrub already had a lovely coffee scent so I didn't need to add any more. I just used this recipe last night and it was amazing! The coffee smelled so good and scented the whole bathroom. My skin felt so soft and smooth--all in all it was a success. I'll be trying different recipes in the future.
Nice article with helpful tips on how to make your own body scrub!
