A Link to a Great DIY Site

Do you need interior decorating advice, especially DIY’s? 

You’ve got to take a look at KariAnne’s site, Thistlewood Farm.

You’ll be so inspired. 

She makes me, all thumbs McGee, fancy that I could do a DIY. 

And KariAnne is generous. I asked her earlier this week for DIY’s involving paint chips. 

Backstory: I might have a minor paint chip obsession. I love to collect them in all my favorite colors, which is basically all the colors.

I bring paint chips home from the hardware store where they sit in a pile on my desk until I move them into our junk drawer where they get gross and I finally throw them all out.

I’d like to break that cycle so I end up with something cute and craftsy that I made with paint chips. 

Anyhoo, back to Karianne, a few hours after I emailed her for help, she sent me a link to a giant post of all the paint chip DIY’s you could imagine. 

So I am forever indebted to her. 

A Face Cleanser That Smells Like the Maine Woods

I’ve fallen in love with a new facial cleanser that smells like Maine and has a foreign (to me) name.

Sulwhasoo Gentle Cleansing Foam smells all sprucey and piney with just perhaps a hit of cinnamon and citrus but not in a men's high octane cleanser kind of way. 

Sulwhasoo is super foamy and you'll just want to stand in your bathroom with the bottle jammed up against your nose inhaling all the Maine-ness.

It’s Friday, are you making cocktails? 

Did you know that ice cube trays that make giant spheres and blocks of ice will keep your drinks from getting watered down?
