Admit it, most cards you receive ends up in a box collecting dust somewhere….
Here’s an idea…make them into a book to look back at the wonderful messages from your guests. Even if you don’t read them a lot…when you do, it’ll be more convenient to!
Perfect & not only for weddings!
I’d always heard rumors of people making their own almond milk but I assumed it was a super difficult process. I was pleasantly surprised when I finally built up the courage to make it. It’s really easy, and oddly fun.
To make Raw Almond Milk:
What you’ll need:
1 cup raw almonds
2-3 cups of water
vanilla extract (optional)
blender
cheesecloth/muslin/pantyhose
What you’ll need to do:
Combine almonds and water. Let sit overnight. Blend together and pour into a jar lined with cheesecloth/muslin/pantyhose. Let this separate the milk from the leftover almond chunks. Make sure to give the cloth a good squeeze when you’re done to get as much out as you can. Refrigerate and enjoy!

So much succulent love.

You know you love the kraut
Harvested a new batch of kraut last weekend. Every other batch or so I like to do one with rutabaga. The last batch I made was tangy, tart, and was defined by a pickle-y flavor. It was one of my favorites. This one is more mellow and has a very subtle sweetness.
Have I discussed how much I love sauerkraut? Especially homemade sauerkraut? And how I’m so lucky to have a Bulgarian family that is always giving me pickled veggie goodness? Because it’s awesome. Okay back to studying.

Newsprint nail art:
1. Put on base coat(s) of nail polish and let dry.
2. Dip fingernail in alcohol - basically any will do, vodka or rubbing alcohol is suggested.
3. Press a strip of newspaper big enough to cover the whole nail on to your alcohol soaked nail. (press for a few seconds, roll finger over whole nail to make sure it has good contact.)
4. Pull off slowly
5. Paint top coat.
6. Enjoy your new nails!
(PS. I also saw one of these done with the answer key to a crossword puzzle! The girl put the mini crossword on her thumbs!)
I never paint my nails, but this is happening!
