Be waterwise - we all need to contribute right now!

We are a long way off our rainy season in the WC - let’s all make small changes today, choose short showers over deep baths and catch all your running water to reach hot temp for showers in buckets - use these to flush your toilets or for cleaning.

Each little change will help conserve water.

Today’s project was a desk chair!

Fixed up the arm rest, tested all the levers, redid the seating and gave it a nice clean!

I enjoyed this one - was super fun to fix up!

It’s a new year and a new month! I spent the first month finishing up some personal projects around the house but it’s time to get back in the swing and make some money!

Using an old iron base, a lampshade we don’t need anymore, some extra wiring and a touch of gold and black spray paint = this gorgeous lamp!

Up for grabs so let me know if you would like to add a touch of warmth to your home!

This weekend’s project 🥰 I was playing around and practicing for a large watercolour I want to make for our bathroom! Really enjoyed this one, the metallics just make everything so fun! 🤩

Not only do I DIY furniture and crafts and home improvement… did you know I also DIY my own household cleaning solutions AND make my own chilli sauce and candles??

And no, it’s not because I’m rolling in dollars (not anymore anyway! 🤣) - it’s mostly ingredients I have in my home and it’s so fun to make my own things!

I have very sensitive skin so I struggle to find products that work for me and that also does not add to the plastic pollution! 🫣

Bulk buying these really affordable ingredients means I get to:
- contribute to my zero waste living lifestyle
- make as I run out, not reliant on store times and stock
- no clutter of all the different bottles lying around in the cupboard!
- adjust the fragrance as I want with different essential oils!
- no more itchy skin!!
- make laundry detergent, dishwashing tabs, fabric softener and bath salts!

Chilli sauce I make because I have a super high tolerance to spice so I can use the chillis I want and can experiment!

Candles - reusing old candle wax and adding just a bit of new wax to every batch to keep it fresh. Fragrances can again be added as desired and wicks are made from old string I’ve had for years! It uses so little wick that it will last me forever! You can also play around with colours! ☺️

There is just something so special about making your own household things! 🤩 try it, maybe you get hooked like I did! X

My niece came to visit at the end of August and she brought her watercolours with so that we could paint and sip! 🖌️🍹 well, I became obsessed! I enjoyed it so such, that I finally went yesterday and got myself a kit - and started playing around!

I absolutely love watercolour as a medium because it can be so forgiving and it actually tends to look better when it’s not perfect! 😅

I am also enjoying having something just for me - not to make money from or have any pressure, just something I get to completely immerse myself in and get lost in time 🤍🤍
