Sunday Surf 10.24.10




A friend sent me this link earlier this week, its a blog post with other links to places to buy non-toxic face paint for Halloween.  It also has a DIY homemade recipe to try as well.

Do you have chemicals in your vagina?  You just might if you use regular tampons.  Check out this link for more.

Here is a page with several different recipes for homemade toilet bowl cleaner.  I used the baking soda and vinegar one.  Well, I am going to use that one, just as soon as I am done pumping!  I will let you know how it turns out later.

I am very into making fabric flowers and I found this gorgeous one, that reminds me of Carrie Bradshaw-season 3.  I am going to try it out using fabric instead of felt.  I wanted to make some sort of accessory for me to match Penelope's 1st birthday party dress that didn't make me look like I was 5. 

This post makes me so happy I could cry.  I am slowly but surely cutting down my carb/grain intake.  I drastically cut out the amout of chips,crackers and bread I eat (as compared to 5 years ago, but I still eat way too much grains).  Chips are weak point for me.  I have come a long way from eating Doritoes for dinner but I still love me some chips and salsa.  I can not freaking wait to try this recipe for homemade corn tortilla chips, fried in lard. Yes, LARD.  And know that it is healthy and good for me!!
I just need to figure out how to render lard first.

And last, but certaintly, not least, my dear friend Teresa, you know, the one who teaches Prenatal Yoga and is a Doula? Well, she is a Jill-of-all-trades and is an AMAZING singer/musician. My family and I saw them last night and they are so good! She just launched her new website and if you sign up for her newsletter to keep posted about gigs, you get access to one of her tracks that she just cut! We heard it last night, trust me you want it!!


Have a great rest of your Sunday!  We are going to try and do our first family bike ride!

  1. the fabric flower is beautiful. it out of cotton quilting fabric will not give you the same body, maybe spray it with starch first to help give it that lift.

  2. hmmmm that is a good point julie, thanks! I just realized that even if the starch works, I would have to double side the fabric, because if I didn't when I glued the center together to make the petal, the wrong side of the fabric would show. Maybe I will try it out of felt. I have a teal cardigan I could wear and do the flower out of yellow felt and just be color coordinated instead of having a matching accessory. I'm a dork, I know.

  3. Oooh, I LOVE the Silver Daggers! I was at MagFest, otherwise I would have been there. I don't know Teresa very well, but she seems amazing! When you learn how to render lard, I hope you will share your method-- I'm interested in learning too! I don't know if I've ever even eaten lard before....
