For the next 30 days I am going to be challenging all of you to exercise with me! I will be posting one week of daily routines at a time so the next four weeks, Non-Fat Tuesday will be dedicated to this challenge. These routines will include the squat and planking challenges, along with some other exercises that I have found useful from adding to my routine. If you are unfamiliar with any of the exercises, you can search for photos online, or for short how-to clips that are available on YouTube.

Thanksgiving is coming so why not get into shape before you gain those extra turkey and stuffing pounds. :) I slacked off while on vacation so I want to start easy again. I would love to post some before and after pictures in the last week of the series so take them if you want to participate. Good luck!!

They are regularly found items so this project can easily be duplicated. Directions: 1. Remove all price stickers. These are glass and we are gluing them so you are going to want a clean surface.  2. Put hot glue around the rim of the candlestick holder.It will begin to dry pretty quickly so work fast, don't worry if the glue starts to drip. 3. Place square jar on the top of the candlestick holder while the glue is still hot. It will bond pretty quickly so make sure its straight! You also don't want it to look messy.

Trial Tuesday: Removing Printed Labels From Plastic

So if you have been following my blog. you know that I have really been getting more organized in 2015. One way that I continue to add new items to my home is to recycle the products that I use. Recently, I came across this Pin that I wanted to try out for baking ingredient storage: find this tutorial on www.hometalk.com Now while this idea is very clever I wasn't sure if I would use paint to redo the cans that I have. This got me thinking about another Pin that I saw on Pinterest about removing printed labels with nail polish remover. Found on www.2busybrunettes.com After I saw this Pin, I checked it out on YouTube and with thin plastic, it does work. With this in mind I wondered if I could remove the label from the Folgers Container. Which brings us to this weeks trial. TRIAL What You Will Need: Before: Directions: Fold a piece of paper towel and soak it in nail polish remover.  Place nail polish soaked paper towel on the label for 5 minutes.
