Favorite Things

January 11, 2013 By Living Solutions Interior Design

Ok, so totally random and not design related at all, but I thought I’d share a few things I’m loving right now.
So glamorous…
My new favorite dish washing soap. I read about it recently somewhere, I have no idea where, that said it was amazing. 
It is.   
 
Then I read about coconut oil as a face wash on a blog I read regularly and remembered I had a brand new, unopened jar in my pantry. Because I had read about it awhile ago and it’s health benefits and thought then that I should definitely try it for cooking reasons. But of course, that didn’t happen and it sat in my pantry for like a year. Just waiting for me to read about the benefits of it as a face wash :)

It was like it was all meant to be!
 
I’ve been using it as my face wash for about a week and a half and it’s great! Seems counter intuitive to put oil on skin that doesn’t do well with oil, but it’s left my skin so soft! I use just about a dime size worth {extra around my eyes to get the eye make up off} and rub it in and then rinse with cool water and then dry off with a towel. I’ve used my other Clinique products with it, too. But I’m loving it!
And my new green notebook. This is my new favorite organization tool to help keep me focused and feel not so overwhelmed with all my daily/weekly/ long term to-dos. 
 
 
 I’ll go into more detail on how I’m using it next week and hopefully get back to sharing some “Organizing One Step At a Time” projects next week as well. I worked on cleaning out my boys’ clothes closet today and I just have to make some labels and use the laminator that I bought over a year ago {oh my goodness…thinking about it as I’m writing and realizing I bought it almost 2 years ago! whaaaat?!} and still haven’t even cracked opened the box. 
This is the year. 
This is the year to learn how to learn to use the laminator I bought literally the same week I read about using one on iheartorganizing because I had to get our home labeled and organized. Almost 2 years ago.
Are you noticing a trend here? Lots of reading going on and not a ton of follow through. 2013 will be the year for following through. I’m determined!
Maybe that will be my theme for the year…?
Happy Friday! Here’s to doing or trying something new this weekend that’s been on your to-do list!
