Way back in 2014, Miss Frugal amazed me with her homemade mint lemonade recipe which quickly became my favourite Summer drink! I've just made a batch so I thought I'd re-do some of the photos and share the updated version with you again!The original recipe for homemade mint lemonade does include a fair amount of sugar but you can reduce that or use a mix of that and sweetener if you prefer. I find that using five lemons does make the lemonade very tart and it does need that sweetness to counteract that!Today, I only used 3 lemons so halved the sugar and it was lovely - not as … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {3 August 2018}….
Every week I share five frugal things that I've done during that week just to show you that the small things you do all add up to a great frugal lifestyle where you can learn to live a fabulously frugal life.Before I start though, I do want to say that being frugal to me is about getting the best value for our money - it's not about doing without for us or about not having nice things. We all have different financial situations and we're all frugal for different reasons - we're frugal so we can afford to do nice things together.Just in case you're interested - I posted my homemade … [Read more...]

Please Read before using essential oils….
I wrote this post this morning as I was just writing up my homemade linen spray recipe to share with you next week and I realised that every essential oils post I've written in the last couple of years has some sort of disclaimer attached to it about how you should always use essential oils with care. I thought it would make life so much easier if I just had one post to link to with everything I want to say about what you should consider when using essential oils.So, I love using essential oils for the various DIYs that I make to use around the house but I do always feel like I … [Read more...]
Homemade Green Tea and Matcha Soap…
I've shared a few of my homemade soap ideas this year but today I'm sharing one with you that I think is going to be a bit like marmite. You're either going to love or hate my homemade Green Tea and Matcha Soap.I never even considered making my own soap until I discovered something called 'Melt and Pour Soap Base' which is amazing and is basically just as it sounds - you melt it, stir in the ingredients you want to add and then you pour it into your moulds to set.My soap moulds are from Amazon and they're so cute! I use them for everything from my homemade toilet fizzies to mini … [Read more...]
