DIY Pampering

For many reasons growing up I never got into the self-pampering things that most girls I know love. The ideas about spa days sound anything but pleasant. I would much rather be gaming with my hubby, making graphs/charts, planning or working in my garden or anything else that keeps my hands busy. Not to mention we haven't always had the disposable income for such things. However, having three daughters, there are some skills we need to learn if we don't want to spend on some self care treatments. 

Learning how to cut hair has been easy but I would love to learn some new tricks for cute dews. 

However, today I want to learn how to do a nice manicure/pedicure. Something a little more than your basic nail clipping.

Think it's time for me and my girls to learn some self-care. Thankful for the opportunity. 

I think the main thing is skin hydration, everything says to soak your hands and feet. Then a nice buffer over the nails, also the cuticle solvent is something to try. Well, wish me luck lol. My hands are going to be digging in the dirt soon but I still want them healthy.

Get out of the kitchen - Get some fuel and move on

It's nice when eating doesn't take up your day. I grew up in a fashion that you sat around the table an ate for an hour or so. That involved a lot of food. I'm doing some cutting. Short simple and back to action.

Breakfast

Toasted coconut yogurt and berries.

No sugar added. Warm berry mix with some cold greek yogurt, it's so yummy I want a second helping but that isn't nessisary so I just get back to work. By the way the price on this. $0.88 (berries are $1.98 for 16 oz. we only used 1/4 cup or 4 oz) $0.49. So breakfast under $1.50

                    Whoever says eating healthy is expensive just wants an excuse. Try a little harder.

                    Lunch

Easy peasy taco no salad.

1/2 cup ground beef

1/2 cup moz cheese

1/2 an avocado

salt and pepper

Could easily add some spinach and lettuce to bulk this up but this is nice simple and warm. 

Dinner

Cauliflower        $1

Broccoli            $1

Sausage             $3

Veggie Mix     $1

$6 dinner, fed our family of 5 with some leftover. That's $1 a plate.

Lotta greens, good protein. Fix it forget about it, don't have all day to spend in the kitchen type of person. I mean for starters the longer I stand in the kitchen the more I'll find to eat and snack on. Kinda adds to the bill and the waistline. We got more important things to do anyway.  Houses don't run themselves. 

Now go write your grandma a letter, she still doesn't understand emails and you can prove to your kids you still know how to address an envelope.
