Bath and Body Stocking Stuffer Round Up - DIY Ideas for Christmas Stocking Fillers that Scream "You Will Be Pampered!" I am generally stumped as to what to put in someone’s stocking that isn’t just candy and boring everyday toiletries. Not to mention, small but meaningful gifts are sometimes often hard to find since, in this case, size is an issue. What I do like to put into Christmas stockings however, are not just silly trinkets, but things that a person can use and get enjoyment from. So I always LOVE to include bath and body and spa themed products as part of the stuffing for Christmas stockings. Holiday Candle Travel Tins! Let’s face it. Sugar scrubs are great year round, but they’re even more necessary in the winter as our skin tends to be drier in response to the drier air. Looking for other sugar scrub recipe ideas?

Once your soaps are completed, you’ll of course want to customize your packaging just right.
You Know You Want Sexy Abs! | healthkicker The next month or two of work on Xanga 2.0 is going to be busy, so I wanted to share with everyone a roadmap of how we’re thinking about things! We’re dividing the work on this project into four basic phases. Phase 1. As described here, we’ve imported over every account that we have on Xanga over to the new system so that anyone who could sign into Xanga can still sign into Xanga 2.0. Finally and most important of all, we’ve imported over 2 million blogs from the old system. * We’ve archived the blogs of the hundreds of thousands of blogs where the user has logged in in the past 5 years and has at least two subscribers. * We did an additional set of archives for 200k users who had logged in the past year and had at least 10 blogs. * We’ve also archived the blogs of every single user that’s ever been premium at any point in the past… And of course, a lot of you guys archived your own blogs using the old Xanga archive generator.

Cape Lookout National Seashore - Beach camping All camping within the park is primitive beach camping: there are no designated campgrounds. Permits are not generally required for camping, but overnight groups of 25 or more are required to obtain a Special Use Permit. Permit applications can be downloaded from the Camping Permits webpage. Camping is limited to 14 consecutive days. Tent and vehicle campsites must be at least 100 feet from wells, shade shelters, bulletin boards, docks or other structures and at least 100 yards from any cabin or house. Visitors are welcome to camp with their vehicles, but vehicles must be kept on the oceanside beach seaward of the primary dunes, not between or on top of dunes. Facilities and Amenities There are no camp stores within the park. There are restrooms open seasonally in areas of high visitation including the lighthouse area on South Core Banks, Wade's Shore on Shackleford Banks, and Portsmouth Village on North Core Banks. There are no trash cans on the islands. Campfires and Grills
Ever made your own face mask? Whip up these budget-friendly beauty treatments to get glowing the natural way (no Birkenstocks required!) You guys are getting to know me.

(Just had to clarify that, because as we know, some natural prodz don’t live up to their claims. Tom’s of Maine deodorant—we’re lookin’ at you). When I lived in L.A., I’d spend hours perusing the beauty departments at Barneys and Neimans (a.k.a. beauty heaven—and home to zillions of fab products I couldn’t afford). Facial masks and scrubs are one category I like to save on. Ever since high school I’ve been a big fan of raiding the kitchen to concoct masks and play around with ingredients. Most derms recommend using a mask once a week (but frequency of use will also depend on your skin type). Avocado, Banana and Honey Face Mask: This mask is super-moisturizing! Honey, Essential Oil and Almond Oil Mask: Almond oil is ultra-nourishing and absorbs easily into the skin. Tomato Mask: I love this one!

Homemade Deodorant! Yep I said it! This might sound really weird and I’m not some kind of hippie. But have you ever read the back label of commercial deodorant? My theory is if you can’t pronounce it or it doesn’t look familiar you probably shouldn’t be putting it in or on your body. I have been on a quest, pretty much since getting married, to live a more natural lifestyle. This includes food, body products, and cleaning products. I was pretty reluctant at first about it but I am usually willing to try things like this so I made it (especially since its cheap). One thing though, is this does not contain aluminum which is an antiperspirant.

I don’t know about you, but our wrists have been begging for another colorful addition for months now. So after playing with some materials that were already on hand, we’ve created a tutorial for a braided bead bracelet, which is a not so distant cousin of the hex nut and wrap bracelet. Because honestly, you can never have too many . . . You’ll need: Cut the waxed linen cord into a 26″ and 19″ piece. Tie a knot about half an inch down from the loops. Start braiding the strands. Push the bead against the base of the braid, and cross the left strand over the middle. Keep a finger at the base of the braid, holding the beads in their place and keeping the braid tight. Finish the bracelet with another inch of braided cord, measuring it against the wrist. Thread on a two hole button – two strands through one hole and one strand through another. Trim the end. Your bracelet is finished! (all images by HonestlyWTF)
