For those of us with not-so-green thumbs.
I've heard of this before but I've never heard of the idea of putting it in a light-bulb. It is the neatest thing! They're called Terrariums...and apparently you can grow one inside of a light-bulb...and they look really cool. You rarely need to water them and they're just so tiny and cute! In my opinion- they're very Celeste-proof which means they can survive practically anything. I kinda want to make a giant one- so we'll see what happens. But here ya go!

If ya want to get all snazzy and get different plants I recommend this site. Apparently people really like these things...

Martha may be a criminal...but she is a mastermind...of crafts
instead of a wall, get a piece of plywood-the smooth kind-and paint. Then stick it in a picture frame and hung-her-up!
Custom Colors How-To
Start with flat-finish latex paint in any shade. For small areas, such as a door panel, mix 1 cup at a time.
1. Pour 1 cup of paint into a container. Add 2 tablespoons of unsanded tile grout. Mix with a paint stirrer, carefully breaking up clumps.
2. Apply paint with a roller or a sponge paintbrush to a primed or painted surface. Work in small sections, going over the same spot several times to ensure full, even coverage. Let dry.
3. Smooth area with 150-grit sandpaper, and wipe off dust.
4. To condition: Rub the side of a piece of chalk over entire surface. Wipe away residue with a barely damp sponge.

Easy-peezie-lemon-squeezie!
So little me went to a burn-a-hole-in-your-pocket makeup store. You know the ones I'm talking about: you walk past in the mall trying not to look because you wish your pocket was that deep. Yep, that one.
Well I went inside one day out of curiosity and they did my makeup for me! I love it and started chatting it up with the girl who did it. I told her how my crisco face comes out in the afternoon and this makeup would be non-existent by then. She brought me to a shelf...with a magic product that you spray on whenever you think you look greasy.
Anyways I saw the price tag, and fessed up saying only Santa could afford it for me. And Christmas is a long time away.
Then she told me a little secret:
(1) Go to Walmart, get one of those tiny empty spray bottles
(2) Fill it with water and
(3) Put about 8 drops of lemon juice in it
spray it (lightly...mist it really) whenever you feel the grease monster coming...and wool-ah! Goodbye afternoon crisco face!
best.thing.ever. I've tried it and it works! I use it in the summertime! Also to note: it didn't make me breakout, which is what I was worried about...so no worries ladies!
