Fast DIY Layered Candle

So have you ever went into a store and smelled the layered candles, wishing there was one of the scents you want?? 

This just recently happened to me, as I was smelling the Yankee Candles. I got the idea from their new "Mixology" Line 

I bought my Mom one for Mother's Day and I am waiting for her to try it before I buy myself one. 

On average my layered candle I made cost about 8 dollars. 

Supplies needed:

3 Yankee Candle Votive's. The ones I chose were Tropical Pineapple, Pink Sands, Sweet Pea

Candle Wicks (I picked mine up and Hobby Lobby)

Glass Holder to hold your Layered Candle in

Place your votive in a mug and let it sit in a boiling pot of water till completely melted. 

Once the wax is melted either have someone hold the wick for you or, you can super glue the wick into place. Pour the wax slowly into the glass jar. 

Allow each layer to harden before pouring the new wax on top of last. Repeat this process till your done. 

When your new Candle is all cooled off, trim the wick, light and enjoy! 

I do not have a picture of the finished product due to giving this Candle as a gift.  However i do have a photo of one that recently made and kept. 

This is not the greatest picture ever, I apologize this was taken from my cell phone. 

I call this one my Tropical Paradise one:

Make time for your Husband

One thing I have noticed is, once a woman has children.. she sort of puts her Husband on the back burners. I myself am guilty of this one and just recently decided to make time for my Husband.. After all he deserves it!

Here are some things we have recently been doing together! 

Making Room.

Squeezing into my old room while growing up, my Husband and I have been trying to utilize what space we have. 

Currently we are living with my Mom till My Husband figures out what the next steps he'll be taking in his career. 

Since we weren't able to fit the Dresser I worked so hard on :(, we decided to buy these nifty under the bed storage containers to shelter our clothing and accessories.  

Total we bought 4 which cost us 60 dollars I believe. Believe or not this idea was my Husbands.. Looks like he's been glancing over my shoulders while I am pinning away.

Summers Ear Treatment!

With the pool ready and a new Bathing Suit in hand.. I am sure you can share the excitement that overwhelmed my body!! 

Summers here and time to have bonfires, lay out by the pool, have BBQ's and I know on my Summer Bucket List going to Cedar Point is a must!! (After all we only live like 45-1hr away!) 

Cedar Points Website.. If you haven't heard of the Park yet!

Any ways I am getting out of the purpose of this post.

Both boys took a nap and my Husband and I were able to experience some alone swimming time... Well to my Husband that means "Body Slam" me into the water! :( As soon as this happened instantly I could feel both my ears fill up with water..

Growing up Ear Infections and Swimmers Ear has always been a issue! 

I managed to get one ear drained but the other was being stubborn. 

Here is the trick I used to get my ear back to normal.

Fill the cap to the Hydrogen Peroxide up and slowly poor in ear (I hate the feeling of this part so my Husband has to hold me down and do it, or else it will never be done... lol it reminds of us trying to give our boys medicine)

Any ways, you want to make sure your laying in a relaxing position because, you'll be here for awhile! 

Lay on your side for a good 15-20 mins meanwhile your going to hear popping and sizzling in ear... and maybe a bit of an itch. 

Once done, flip your head so the ear filled with the peroxide is facing down now. Either hold a bowl or if you use a towel make sure you give it some space between your ear!

Let it drain for a bit and finish off my taking a towel and wiping your inner ear. 

This method can also be used for ear infections and a way to get the inner ear wax out of the ear! 

Have fun swimming! 

E.L.F Makeup

Recently I have grown a like for a makeup Brand being sold at Target. I am not sure whether or not it is being sold at other places, but like I said I do know it's   at Target. The Brand is called E.L.F which stands for Eyes. Lips. Face. 

This right here is my starting collection of their brand. I have also tried their cream eyeliner which I also Love, as well as their Lip Glosses which are only a Dollar!! 

Any ways, they have amazing products for a reasonable price! I have very sensitive skin which breaks out to "cheaper" makeup and this product has yet to dry out my skin.
