I was wandering the web looking for an older receipe I use to have which save a money saver.  How to make your own sweetened condensed milk.  I found a great site that covers some basics.

CBS's Early Show had some great tips for home spa remedies.  I haven't tried them yet but don't want to lose the notes so here they are.  Be sure to check out there website for the original post.

Beauty Secrets From The Kitchen
Recipes For Do-It-Yourself Spa Remedies

(CBS) Many people do not understand that the all-natural spa remedies are just that -- all natural. In fact, many of the ingredients for spa treatments consist of things you might find in your kitchen: flat beer, fresh lemon juice, or sugar. 

You can combine a few of these ingredients and create hair tonic, hand scrub or a facial mask. 

Shalini Vadhera, celebrity make-up artist and author of "Passport to Beauty," says with a few ingredients and 30 minutes you can transform yourself to a spa beautiful customer. And the best part? It will cost you next to nothing. 

Anti-Wrinkle & Reviving Face Mask 
This is a very simple recipe that will rejuvenate your face and is a great anti-wrinkle remedy. Take two bunches of green, seedless grapes, and crush to a fine pulp. Mix in two tablespoons of flour to finish the paste. Apply to face, and allow to sit on skin for fifteen to twenty minutes. Then wash off with warm water and pat dry. 

Soften, Brighten Your Hands 
This is a great way to exfoliate, condition and nourish your hands, knees an elbows. Juice two fresh lemons and juice combine with 1 cup of granulated sugar. Leave on for 3 to 5 minutes, then rinse with warm water and pat dry. 

Strengthen Your Nails 
This particular remedy will make your nails stronger than acrylic. Simply mince one tablespoon of fresh garlic and add to your favorite clear nail polish. Allow that bottle to sit for one week and apply as needed. 

Add Luster To Hair 
If your hair feels flat and dull, coconut oil will take care of you. Simply wash as usual and use coconut oil as a conditioner. Apply as needed, leave on for a couple of minutes and rinse with warm water. 

Get Rid of Frizzies 
If your hair gets frizzy, this may sound unusual but it works. Simply shampoo as usual and rinse with flat beer. How do you make beer flat? Simply add some salt and allow to sit until it seems to lack the froth. 

Prevent Stretchmarks 
If you want to prevent stretchmarks, the Indians have a sure fire way. Combine a cup of plain yogurt with a teaspoon of tumeric. Mix well and apply to area for 10 minutes. Skin will look light, clean, shiny and revived. In India, women will apply this mixture before their wedding for extra help glowing on their big day.

Here's a quick blog to check out.

I use to run an organic food buyers club. Every two weeks the truck would come with our co-op order and I would divide it up. This was one way we were able to raise our family on organic, nutritious foods. We would also get Amish cheese which is the most fabulous cheese source in the East. And whole organic milk with the cream on top. Almost like you milked the cow yourself :) OK...so my favorite childhood memories are going to a farm in Alabama that my Aunt owned. Co-Oping was the closest I could get to going out to the garden and picking it myself taste. On GMA they had some information about buyers club and sources. This is definitely a shopping option for us to explore again as we now have 7 grandchildren that raid the pantry. Here are my bookmark links from GMA. Good Morning Amercia (ABC) has had some good spots with inflation fighting tips.

Companies mentioned in the GMA news brief: ZoomPanel, SheSpeaks, BzzAgent, House Party, are a few of the companies that value your opinion.  

A few warnings: "Never ever pay to participate in these programs. Avoid unsolicited e-mails and pop-up ads that promise big bucks or lots of valuable free stuff. Legitimate companies will never contact you without your permission, nor will they ever ask you to pay a penny to participate -- even the shipping is free.

 Register with several sites -- not just one or two -- to increase your chances of being considered for participation. Just because you register doesn't mean you'll be selected. However, the programs we've identified include hundreds of thousands of participants per year, each of whom meets a specific targeted profile among big brands. For example, if you don't have pets, you won't be included in pet food campaigns. If you don't have kids, you won't be asked to weigh in on children's toys."

I'm going to check it out.  1) I'm opinionated so my husband tells me and 2) Free is good :)

I was wandering the web today and happened up a Christian Woman's site which led me to this scrap booking tutorial. I use everyone's finished products to be creative with but am clueless on creating from scratch. So I thought you might like to have this link to if you're like me. Love creativity but still learning "how".

Vanessa is on a group I receive emails from.  She is always so generous in sharing her scrap kits. Check out her blog Butterfly Hollow Designs© at http://butterflyhollowdesigns.blogspot.com.  She keeps her kits posted a little while so you can run right over and pick up all her creations if this is a new creator to you.  Make sure you leave some THANKS.

It's a gorgeous cloudless day here in sunny Florida.  The grandchildren were over yesterday so I didn't get to web hop much.  After doing a little gardening in the yard I went upstairs to the office. My desk overlooks a little pond so I get to view nature while putting on my creative search "hat" and off to the web I go.  I've posted a couple scrap blogger sites that are new to me.  Hope you enjoy them.  Please respect the creator and go through their blog to download.  So there you have it.  My official note of the day.  I'm off to wander the web for goodies :)
