Chalk It Up!

 

RustOleum ChalkBoard Brush On

One of the coolest renovations I did this year was something I never thought was possible…turn the walls of my dining room into a usable chalkboard! Yes, the walls are chalkboard you can write on and fully erase. And even better, it’s a ChalkBoard Paint that takes no extra time or preparations than any standard paint does. No unnecessary work, clean-up or help is needed.  Actually, it dries faster and you don’t even need two coats if you choose not to do so. When I heard about this ChalkBoard Brush On and all the surfaces you can apply this paint over, I knew I had to do it. Either erase the walls with an eraser for the smudged chalk look or wipe it down with a wet rag and your back to a blank wall. This is the most creative idea for someone that likes to make functional space in their home. Have an artist friend come draw a mural, write down your grocery list, play Pictionary with guests, or post the dinner menu for your family. There’s a never ending list of things you can do with a chalkboard wall and the fun part is, it’s always changing.

L’Aromarine

ROSE Eau De Toilette

L’Aromarine is my favorite product when it comes to packaging and bubble bath. Now, I love their fragrances too. The Rose Eau De Toilette is my idea of a clean yet subtle scent that is ideal for the daytime. My mom always told me ” You should only be able to smell a woman’s perfume when she walks past you” and this exactly how I like to wear my perfumes. You want something different but not overwhelming. Here is an Online Apothecary where you can find this fragrance and other products by this company.

Mind Your Own Beeswax…

It’s rumored that the idiom “Mind your own beeswax” came from Colonial America when women would put beeswax on their faces to soften their skin.  If you didn’t “mind” the timing, it would grow hard and crack and the benefits to the skin would be lost. Ironically, beeswax is a component in many modern day cosmetics, so our female predecessors were on to something. Similarly, the benefits of beeswax candles have stood for centuries: they don’t drip; they burn longer, as well as cleaner than their paraffin and soy counterparts. But, here’s a benefit that is not as well known – and the science behind it is almost mystical:

The bright flame of a beeswax candle produces the same beautiful light spectrum as the sun.  As the candle burns, negative ions are emitted that clean the air and, in turn, invigorate the body. Negative ions are drawn to positive ions.  Positive ions hold on to airborne things like dust, mold and odors; the negative ions latch on to the “contaminated” positive ions and weigh them down this causes the contaminated positive ions to fall to the ground thereby cleaning and purifying the air. A perfect example of this phenomenon is rainstorms. A rainstorm is a negative ionic event, which is why we say the air smells so fresh after a rainstorm.

As the beeswax burns it gives off a non-toxic, hypo-allergenic, subtle fragrance of a mixture of honey and the nectar of the flowers in the honeycomb.

Burn a beeswax candle today and enjoy the full ambiance of light and fragrance all from a natural renewable source.
