I'm pretty sure I've told you all about Snowman Soup at least a hundred times over the last few years but for the benefit of those of you who have never had the pleasure of hearing about it, I'm going to quickly tell you again. ;-)Basically, it's a fantastic idea for a homemade gift which is also a great treat for you and the kids. You add all of the ingredients for a gorgeous warming hot chocolate drink into a cellophane bag so the lucky recipient of your gift (or you) just has to pour it into a mug, add hot water and stir.We make enough for two mugs in our bags and add the hot … [Read more...]
Super smooth lips – the frugal way….
We've all heard about the benefits of body and face exfoliation, haven't we?But what do you know about lip scrubs and lip exfoliation? Do you know for example that a lip scrub will remove the dead skin from the surface of your lips leaving them soft.And as if that wasn't enough, having super smooth lips with a smooth surface will make your lipsticks, lip liner, and lip gloss last longer than before as it adheres much better to smooth lips.Aaaaand, if you're still not sold then I'm sure that you will be after I tell you that lip exfoliation makes your lips moister (is that a word?) … [Read more...]
Inspirational homemade wall art….
Over the last few weeks we've been gradually giving Miss Frugal's room a bit of a makeover and we're both really pleased with the finished result - she's over the moon because it looks exactly like she wanted it to and I'm pleased because we did it on a really small budget.To keep the costs down, we've tried to use things from around the house or make them ourselves and our favourite homemade project was the inspirational wall art picture that we made.We used a picture that I bought for a couple of pounds ages ago and painted it using a light green tester pot of paint. You could use … [Read more...]
How to make a beautiful bow out of leftover wrapping paper….
When I give a present to someone I like to spend time choosing a present, think about what I know the person I'm giving it to will enjoy. And because I spend time on choosing the perfect (in my opinion ;-)) present, I like to make sure that it looks as pretty as possible when it's all wrapped up and ready to give.In the past, I would pop to the supermarket and buy a pack of wrapping paper to match the occasion along with a more often than not expensive matching bow to go with it and occasionally some ribbon if I wanted to really make it look nice! Present wrapping certainly wasn't cheap … [Read more...]

How to make homemade Skittles Vodka….
I first heard about homemade Skittles Vodka a few years ago now but I've never actually got around to making it until last week - probably because I was a bit dubious about it tasting as nice as people said it did and I didn't want to waste perfectly good vodka!I don't have as many photos of this as I really should have for a tutorial type post but that's because I took the photos on Mr Frugal's phone which he then wiped and did a factory re-set on without saving the photos. Clever or what?I do have a few though from Instagram so I'm going to make do with what I have and hope it's … [Read more...]
