A Home-Made Wedding Part: 2


While searching for ideas for my wedding on the internet I came across a tablecloth decoration that had the bride and grooms name and the date of their marriage. It was absolutely exquisite but it was over $100!! So, of course, I decided to make one!

My sister cut out the words and numbers with her Silhuette SD machine onto heat transfer fabric. She mailed them to me and with the help of my wonderful fiancĂ© we ironed them onto the tablecloth. Altogether it cost us around $50 to make, that’s including the price of 2 rolls of heat transfer, which wasn’t used all the way. For half the price and all the fun we had putting it together I think it was totally worth it, and it was really easy!

(To make it even cheaper you could do just one color of heat transfer, they are $20 a roll. Or, if you are brave, you could try fabric paint or stitching fabric words and numbers onto the tablecloth.)

Good Luck! Have Fun, and Enjoy!

Fresh Feet Wipes (Review & GIveaway) 3 winners


Fresh Feet Wipes was created by a mom. When Ann was younger she would clean her feet with baby wipes after a long night on the town or day at the beach. Now she has 3 children of her own. Ann created Fresh Feet Wipes. They are to be used when you need to clean and freshen up your feet. They are not meant to replace a shower. Fresh Feet Wipes are ideal for your bridal party. You might use them after the ceremony with your feet in those heals, or for cold sweaty feet at the altar, you're also going to want to freshen up your feet after getting down on the dance floor.One more idea, try placing them in the bathroom at your reception for your guests to use.

Tropical Traditions: Coconut Oil (Review & Giveaway)


Popcorn has become such a popular reception food. It's fun, it's tasty, it's easy. I was recently sent a jar of Tropical Traditions Golden Label Virgin Coconut Oil and had to try their yummy Chocolate Coconut Snack Popcorn recipe. Let me tell you, this was good stuff! It had the sweet smell of coconut, the yummy white chocolate and a hint of cinnamon. I couldn't stop eating it! It tastes just like a gourmet popcorn, only better. And what's more, it was quick and easy to make.

Tropical Traditions was the first to export Virgin Coconut Oil from the Philippines into the US market. They are committed to time-honored traditional practices that have produced healthy coconut oil for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Of all the coconut oils on the market they have the highest levels of antioxidants. Check out this video
