A few years ago I had a go at making Skittles Vodka and the result was amazing!This Christmas I seem to have developed a Pinterest inspired candy cane obsession so I thought I'd have a go at making candy cane vodka to see if it could top the skittles version.It was actually easier to make than the skittles vodka as there was no faffing about with separating the colours or straining the drink before it was ready to serve and it has a lovely Christmassy flavour. It also looks very pretty and would make a lovely gift for someone who enjoys the odd tipple at Christmas.I got my bottle … [Read more...]
Super Easy Homemade Bath Bombs….
Miss Frugal has been asking me for ages now if she can have a go at making her own bath bombs and I always put her off because there are so many different methods of making them out there that call for ingredients I wouldn't normally have in the house.It finally got to the point where I couldn't put her off any longer so last weekend, I gathered the ingredients we needed and sat and watched her make her version of homemade bath bombs and actually, they came out OK. I don't think we're going to be up there with Lush but I do think that she might actually be able to pull of her plan to … [Read more...]
Homemade essential oils room spray….
A couple of weeks ago I made my own essential oils room spray and I've been loving it but it was in an ugly plastic spray bottle that I found in the back of a cupboard so I was a bit reluctant to show it off!(I know, it's not the way it looks that counts, it's the way it smells but humour me)I did really want to share it with you though because my essential oils room spray has made my house smell lovely and I thought you all might love the fact that it contains no chemicals or toxins as much as I do.Once I figured out that I was an essential oils room spray fan, I figured it … [Read more...]

Homemade Peppermint Foot Scrub….
I don't know about you but I sometimes have days where I feel like I'm on my feet and on the go from the moment I wake up until bedtime finally arrives!Take today for example....I got up early to drop Master Frugal off at a school event which lasted two hours and while he was there, I took Miss Frugal into town to buy some new school trousers and a couple of bits she needed for the presents she's making for her friends at school. We got back in time to pick Master Frugal up and then we had a quick lunch before taking the dog for a walk in the woods near us and then it was back out … [Read more...]
Homemade teacher’s gifts that will save you money but still look amazing….
Do you make homemade teacher's gifts at Christmas or do you buy your children's teachers gifts?I know lots don't but I always like to give them a gift to show my appreciation because I imagine that being a teacher is one of the hardest jobs there is, especially these days with all of the paperwork and the expectations on them to achieve great results. I often buy the gifts but this year we're planning to make our own homemade teacher's gifts as Master Frugal has five teachers and teaching assistants that he wants to get something for and I suspect if we didn't make them, I'd end up … [Read more...]
