JEN’s Blast From The Past Valentine’s Ideas
Wowza guys! I am not even going to pretend this month has been anything but crazy!

Creamy Peppermint Sugar Scrub
Over time I have gradually become a fairly skilled beauty DIY’er. Mostly, because I want quality products, but I am kind of cheap. That’s some confession to make, isn’t it?!

Easy Chocolate Peppermint Bark Donuts
If I were given my own cooking show it would probably closely resemble something like what Sandra Lee, the semi-homemade guru lady does.

Easy Snow Globe Sugar Cookies With A FREE Letter To Santa
Last Christmas I saw this adorable video that had been making the rounds on Facebook.
