For those interested,a Bratz head can and will fit on an lol body and vice versa. Personally I think the body swap looks a lot better than the originals for these two. Although it kind of looks like Sasha here got a bbl 😅

if you get stuck and need to use a candle to keep your car warm,make sure it’s a beeswax candle because some other candle waxes including paraffin (which most store bought candles are made with) can have fumes that are highly toxic when inhaled directly in close proximity (benzene and toluene) which are not only dangerous to humans,but also to any animals you may have in the car. whereas beeswax is non toxic when burned and safe to be used around pets in an unscented form. make sure you have a window cracked or open to filter out the smoke if you intend to light a candle in your car 

put these things in your car right now

With much of North America experiencing severe winter weather this week, anyone doing any kind of travel should be prepared with a winter emergency kit.

-A warm coat, blanket, gloves, socks, hat, and hand warmers. Those thermal mylar blankets are a compact and affordable addition. -Ice scraper and brush -Jumper cables -A foldable shovel -A flashlight -Emergency road flares or reflectors, to place well behind your vehicle  -First aid kit -Multitool -Tire chains, tow strap -Flashlight, extra batteries -Matches, lighter, candles -Fresh water (bring it with you each time, if you just leave it in the car it’ll freeze) -High-energy snack food -Safety absorbent, sand, cat litter, or road salt to provide traction for your wheels -a hand-crank radio -More than half a tank of gas (to prevent freezing condensation and fuel blockages)

Some of these things can get kind of expensive, but they can be life-saving and are cheaper than an emergency room and/or a car tow.

the true struggle in crafting: waxing your own thread because your dumb ass bought the cheap shit instead of the good shit and now you’re sitting here with a beeswax threader and your shit thread

great post, but I just want to mention that you can’t just buy any oil, peppermint or others, you need to check the labels. Some essential oils are mainly aroma therapeutic and can really irritate your skin (especially sensitive skin!!) unless diluted in a bit of water,alcohol (like vodka), a carrier oil (like olive oil),maybe sometimes even in a bit of hand lotion. some oils however can be applied directly to the skin, but you’ll need to research which ones before you buy them.

as for getting peppermint or any other mentholated oil in your eyes,blinking a bit of milk into the eyes will stop the oddly refreshing burn..,you can also dilute the area using vegetable oil on a tissue and carefully wiping or dabbing around the affected area (do NOT use water!!! water can spread the oils around and cause them to irritate even more)

hope this helps friends,stay safe and have fun with essential oils!

Buy peppermint oil, drop some of it on ticks n they will leave you alone…it will also help keep mosquitoes away… Pep oil is rlly powerful and can cool u off In the summer apply some to ur head and rub it in real good, and if cold helps ur headaches apply 1 (one) drop to the sore area Do NOt use too much u will regret it if u get it in ur eyes u will regret it even more…

My dreamcatchers at the show today!

[apothecali]

hello hello,it’s been a little while since my last post,but a loft of crafty experiments have been made. hopefully I’ll start to get more posts out on a regular basis with more projects and maybe even some tutorials (once I get a working camera for recording that is...) one of the craft things I’ve been experimenting with is making dream catchers! so far I’ve made about five to six unique dream catchers,and they’re really fun and easy to make. I’ll definitely be posting pictures of them on the blog in the next few days.

my first try at making candles. these are homemade cinnamon scented candles with reclaimed glass candle jars. these were super fun and easy to make
