Weekly Roundup: Tutorials and DIY's

This weeks DIY roundup are some of my favourites! I'm almost tempted to stop dying my hair black so I can give myself temporary lavender hair. Wouldn't it look lovely on a bride in a woodland theme wedding? This one's going on my Pinterest wedding board,

This beautiful lady has temporary dyed hair! TEMPORARY PURPLE HAIR! Now, if you don't know, I had bright blue hair for three whole years. If i didn't have black hair I would be in the bathroom right now giving myself lavender hair.

I have been looking at polaroid coasters for so long! They are so lovely and unique. One of my all time favourite DIY's I have to say.


Homemade gift bags made out of newspapers is an environmentally friendly - and wallet friendly - alternative to buying dozens of bags year after year.


These paint chip bookmarks are super cute! Although I have to admit, I'm a page bender when it comes to reading, but if I had these I'd probably find books to read just so I could use them!


Which one is your favourite?

Cheers!

Natural Living: Is it worth it?

The past couple weeks I've been spending a lot of time thinking about making a big move. A huge move. A life-changing move that might be a pain in the butt. Going from pizza eating - cheese loving - chemical wearing - hair bleaching gal to a vegan, all natural and organic gal. Will it be worth it? Yes. Can I do it? I hope so.

Things I plan on changing to:
-mostly vegan and organic diet
-no more hair dying.

-natural AND homemade by me shampoo/soap/cleaning supplies/makeup. (Except nail polish, until I can find a natural version I will continue to wear chemical/store bought nail polish)

-less energy consumption around the loft.

I don't know if I left anything out, but I'm sure you get the idea. 

Reasons why I am doing this:

-it's better for the environment

-it's  better for my body
-it's better for my healthy

-it's better for my wallet.

-it's better for animals.

I don't know about you, but those seem like good reasons. The past two months I have been a wreck - headaches that last all days, sluggishness around 2, wanting to fall asleep at like 8 pm and just a general ugh feeling. And, the reason was obvious. I ate. A lot. All the time. One would think I was  pregnant at the stuff and amount I was eating. This lifestyle change will fix all those up in a giffy!

Thanks to Wellness Mama for much need inspiration to finally put me from liking the idea of natural living to actually making homemade shampoo and cleaning supplies.

Cheers!
