Do you ever get sick of drinking the same thing over and over again? Obviously drinking soda, juice, water, or anything else is an every day thing. It isn’t exciting or fun. It’s just what we do to survive. The majority of us don’t make our own drinks. I mean, we pour them in a glass and drink. That’s it. We don’t have a say so of what goes in them, how sweet they are, or how carbonated they are. We purchase them from the store and drink them. That’s it. With that said, have you ever thought about making your own drinks? More specifically speaking, have you ever considered making your own soda? Yes, it is possible for the average person to make their own soda. Why not change your daily routine? Why not make something, as simple as drinking, FUN? I love the idea of turning every day routines into an activity or a game that the entire family can enjoy! How does that sound to you?

I need lip balm, just like the next girl does. The problem with me is that I never remember to put it on and frankly, I am not the biggest fan of sticky stuff on my lips. I hate lip balm that wipes off onto everything or that my long hair sticks to. Ugh, or even worse, is a lip balm with a disgusting smell and taste. My thoughts on lip balm are bitter, no pun intended. I never even buy any because I feel like I am never going to find a lip balm that I will actually wear. Well, never say never folks…

I always need more kitchen towels. I use them for everything. Probably more things than I should. I use them to clean the counters, clean the stove, dry the dishes, to dry my hands, and much more. In my home, kitchen towels are like bobby pins- they are always needed and can never be found! They always disappear. Does anyone else have this pesky problem?

For the past few years I have kept my Cotton Swabs and Cotton Balls in the bags/boxes that they come in. I kept them under the sink and would have to inconveniently reach under it every time I needed one. Sometimes I need one quickly to use for my nails or makeup (I know, such a girly reasoning). I don’t know why I never thought of a more convenient way to organize these. When I bought my vanity, I added some cotton swabs and cotton balls to my makeup organizers, but that still left me without a great organizer for my bathroom.

Sometimes, something as simple as the glass that you are drinking out of can make an experience for you better or more meaningful. There is nothing like drinking hot cocoa or espresso out of a glass that is the perfect size for the quantity that you need. If you’ve ever had espresso, you know that an average size coffee cup is WAY too large.

Sometimes we just don’t know what to get our loved ones for the holiday. It can definitely be a struggle. Everyone loves movies and TV shows. It’s a fact. Whether it’s Documentary, a Romantic Comedy, or the next big Action film, we all have our favorites! There is always something new or a classic that we cannot get enough of. We know that everyone loves some kind of film; that isn’t the problem. The problem when shopping for our loved ones is picking out the RIGHT movie or tv shows for them. Do you get them something new or old? Do you buy them their favorite movie or something you think they will enjoy? It’s risky business my friends, that’s why I say don’t do EITHER. Let them choose their own movies and Tv shows this year!

When body meets soul you find peace. When body meets soul you find true happiness. Our bodies are just as beautiful as our souls. We are all unique and created to be one of a kind. As humans though, we don’t always feel comfortable with our bodies. Whether it be the society we live in or just an off day, sometimes we just don’t feel good about ourselves. Those are the days that we need a pick me up. I don’t know a woman on this Earth that doesn’t enjoy a little pampering. It can be a manicure, a nice bath, or even a scented lotion to make her feel a little bit more relaxed and little bit more beautiful. I think it’s important to spoil ourselves and to spoil the ladies in our lives. With Laline you can do just that.

Sometimes your laundry just needs a pick me up. Aromatherapy always relaxes me and puts me in a better mood. Why not do the same for your laundry? I mean we wear clothes every day (I’d hope). I think it’s important that our laundry smells fresh and clean at all times. Like I said, aromatherapy relaxes me, so if I walk around all day smelling it on my clothes, I think its safe to say that it will keep me in a great mood. Now how do we give our laundry a little aromatherapy makeover? With crystals of course. I know your are thinking…
