Repurpose Old Dresser Drawer Into A Dog Bed


I found this awesome idea from the blog Southernrevivals.com  and decided to make this my weekend project! George will love it.  I have a much larger drawer for him so he should have a ton of space.  I hope someone out there will find use of this.  It is a great way reuse a drawer that would normally get thrown out.


Make Your Own Almond Milk!

Goodbye hormone and antibiotic filled milk!  I must admit I have never tried almond milk.  I grew up around a lot of farms where the cows were grazed everyday on a pasture, they procreated on their own and the milk is amazing!  It really is like no other.  Which then makes me wonder why does the milk taste so different everywhere else?  I moved away from home when I was 18 and have never moved back.  I visit quite often and drink as much milk as I can while there.  The first thing that really drove this home (how milk tasted elsewhere) was my boyfriend.  My boyfriend grew up as lactose intolerant.  While we were back home he tried chocolate milk (as I complain about the gross stuff that passes here in Quebec).  Not only did he like it, it did not bother him at all!  Since then I stopped drinking milk in a big glass and now limit it to cooking and coffee.   Not only is this the first time I'm trying almond milk it is the first time making it!  Check out he recipe after the break.

Victoria Secret Model Workout In Less Than 10 Minutes!

This workout is ridiculous!  It was created for the models when they are on the road or vacation.  Something quick, easy, no tools and a workout that is like no other.  I had no idea how out of shape I was until I did this workout! My shirt was drenched with sweat.  It also left me feeling like I accomplished something in one workout.

DIY, All Natural Flea and Tick Control For Dogs And Cats 3 Easy Steps

I just wanted to share my project of the day.  I have two pets 1 dog George and 1 cat Rummy.  WIth Summer in full swing many people are dealing with fleas and ticks waging war with our best little friends.  This morning I woke up and noticed a tiny bug on George's belly... a flea! Neither pet has been scratching and I myself have not received any bites.. yet.  The medication from the vets office makes both pets 'off' and not feeling well.  So I decided to do some research, get hands on and tackle this with my new green living attitude.
I found some wonderful blogs online regarding natural ways to combat fleas, so I combined a few together and decided to share  my concoction with you.  There are three steps and two recipes to end the flea invasion.  I have tried these today and so far I have seen some great results.
