Thinking About... Homemade Fall Soap!

Hey everybody! I made soap yesterday, and wanted to show you how! I found the recipe on Happiness is Homemade: http://www.happinessishomemade.net/2014/09/15/10-minute-gift-idea-diy-pumpkin-spice-soap/

and thought it sounded amazing! This is my take on the recipe since I didn't have everything :)

 So here we go....

Here are all of the items you will need: (From top left to right) 2 Soap molds (I used plastic Ziploc containers), a glass container with pouring spout, soap (I bought Goats Milk Soap from Michaels), Pumpkin Pie Spice, a Table Spoon, and a spoon to mix (I used a skewer, for some reason, but it worked just fine :).

Next cut out a fourth piece of the soap this will make 2 bars of soap.

Now microwave it!

I started with 30 seconds in the microwave.

After 30 seconds, stir some more and put it back in the microwave.

Keep up this process until all of the soap has melted....

......

.....

Great! It is all smooth now.

Next add a Tablespoon of Pumpkin Pie Spice.

Stir until smooth.

Now pour into your molds!

Next put them in the refrigerator all afternoon or until solid :).

Mine turned out very well! And they smell like pumpkin pie! So good :)!

If you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comments!

Have a great day!

Thinking About... My Photography!

 

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share a few photographs I took with you all!

 

 

 

I took this photograph in my front yard, and was so excited to get a crisp image of a bee!

Here is another picture of a bee I took at a park.

 

 

 

I took this photograph of a brand-new flower at the same park.

This pink flower was so pretty I couldn't resist taking it's picture.

 I love how it turned out!

Hope you enjoyed my pictures!

Have a wonderful day!

Thinking About... Minions the Movie!

 

Hey everyone! I just went to the movies and watched Minions! It was really enjoyable and fun to watch! Here is the trailer:

I found this storyline overview on IMBD:

"The story of Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment's Minions begins at the dawn of time. Starting as single-celled yellow organisms, Minions evolve through the ages, perpetually serving the most despicable of masters. Continuously unsuccessful at keeping these masters - from T. rex to Napoleon - the Minions find themselves without someone to serve and fall into a deep depression. But one Minion named Kevin has a plan, and he - alongside teen-age rebel Stuart and lovable little Bob - ventures out into the world to find a new evil boss for his brethren to follow.

The trio embarks upon a thrilling journey that ultimately leads them to their next potential master, Scarlet Overkill (Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock), the world's first supervillainess ever. They travel from frigid Antarctica to 1960s New York City, ending in modern London, where they must face their biggest challenge to date: saving all of Minionkind...from annihilation. Featuring a sound-track of hit music ... Written by Universal Pictures and Brian McInnis " -http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2293640/

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then here is a fun quiz. Which Minion are you?

Hope you enjoyed! Comment below on your favorite Minion!

Thinking About... DIY Truffula Trees!

 

Hey everybody! I've been really interested in these Truffula trees from the movie the Lorax for a long time :). Awhile ago I found a DIY project where you can make them yourselves! I was so excited! The link to the project is below the picture.

Check it out:

I want to make these trees so badly for some reason:)! When I get the chance to, I'll have to post pictures on the blog.

 

 

 

 

 

Here is another picture of the DIY project I found on Pinterest.

I think the blue is my favorite. What color would you choose?

 

Here are terrariums with Truffula trees!
