Giving a Thoughtful Gift Basket ❤
I love to gift baskets because I can never decide what to get people. By giving someone a basket of things, they will be surprised that you put the thought into choosing each item specifically for them. (Don’t show them this post haha). It’s easy to personalize baskets but it’s also easy to give somewhat generic gift baskets that feel personal if you don’t know someone well. Gift baskets are great for people who like surprises, don’t want to give you gift ideas, or that one person who is impossible to shop for. Another great thing about giving gift baskets is that you don’t waste paper bags or wrapping. Baskets…

How to Make Reusable Cotton Rounds for Removing your Makeup
At the beginning of the year, one of my resolutions was to make sustainable swaps. The goal is to swap wasteful things I use everyday to more environmentally friendly versions. I made a set of 12 rounds with some extra flannel fabric I had at home. There are pictures along the way to show my progress! Step #1 Start out by using the end of a cleaning bottle to stencil circles. This bottle should be a little bigger than the size of cotton rounds you are trying to make. I drew out 24 total. By making the circles a little bigger than needed, you will have extra on the edges…
