FLORAL FUN
Enjoying a tiny, caffeinated cuppa in front of our former shop on the West Highland Way. That repurposed chest of drawers / planter was one of the best ‘Pinspirations’ ever. Just look at those happy flowers popping like actual popcorn. The key to keeping the planter around for more than a year of bipolar Scottish weather? Yacht varnish. It required yearly coats with tons of that sticky - tedious to work with but necessary - stuff. When living through the ever-changing elements here, all painted wooden furniture living outside should have protection.
FOOD FACE: DIY Face masks from your kitchen.
Almost everything I've listed below I've been able to pick up at the local village Co-op, and any of these items can instantly be turned into a face mask.
After reading this, I highly recommend checking out the contents of your kitchen, and then mashing, whipping, slicing, or blending any of these ingredients up . Put them on your face, and truly embrace being a food face. Your skin will thank you.
