Homemade Febreze!

I can't live without Febreze! I have dogs, my mom and son smoke, and that just drives me crazy!!

 

So I found this homemade recipe on Pinterest!

 

 

What you'll need:

1/8 Cup of fabric softener (I used Downy April Fresh)

2 tablespoons Baking Soda

Hot tap water

Spray bottle (I used my empty 27 oz. Febreze bottle)

Preparation:

Using a funnel, pour fabric softener and baking soda into your spray bottle. Fill spray bottle with hot tap water and shake well. Don't forget to twist the nozzle over to the LOCK position if you're using a Febreze bottle, or you might fall on your hiney. Now go spray every fabric surface in your house and take a nap on your very comfortable and now un-stinky couch. :)

Store-bought Febreze: $5.59

Homemade Febreze: $0.15

Total Savings: $5.44 OR 97.3%!

 

Can't wait to try it!!



Caught Up In Cottage Love!

The first thing I think about when I think about getting away or downsizing my life a bit I look towards a cottage! A return to a less formal and structured existence, to be more like the imperfect cottage garden. A theme carried indoors as well as outdoors.

Since I do not have a cottage, nor is it in the forseable future, I'll have to be content with dreaming about one!!

Here are some of my favorite cottage pictures!



And of course every perfect cottage would have a view!!

The spirit of a cottage is infused with nostalgia, a charm recreated by colorful weathered paints, warm stained wood, cosy built-ins, planked walls, and vintage accessories and details!

I would love to live in a cottage, because to live in such a small space, you would need to be very organized to avoid clutter! And that just suits me to a tee!!

Happy Cottaging!!
