HOW TO RECOVER OLD CHAIRS TO SAVE MONEY // LIVING AREA MAKEOVER PT I

Today I’m recovering my dining room chairs! Why buy new ones when you can use what ya got and save money?! 😀 I’m working on sprucing up my living area, one little bit at a time. I’m a really slow decorator, but I’ve been living here over a year now and it’s time to get the finishing touches…well, finished! I’ve had a few things sitting in the closet that I would like to get put up and then declutter the rest. This summer is going to be all about organization and minimalism! Kon Mari? Maybe! Trips to the donation center? Yes, ma’am! Subscribe to follow my home makeover journey to a more organized, aesthetically pleasing, warm and inviting home! I’d love to hear your home style suggestions in the comments. This isn’t my strongest area, but I’m determined to LEARN and get better at making this house a beautiful home…on a budget! 😉

3 INGREDIENT MASON JAR DEODORANT

Today I’m sharing how I make a 3 ingredient mason jar deodorant. This is a simple recipe for lazy girls like me. Can I get an amen? This is the only way I will continue to make something! I hope you like it! If you make some please share a pic on instagram and tag me @abeautifulhorizon!

RECIPE:

2 tablespoons avocado oil (or preferred oil)
1 tablespoon baking soda
4 tablespoons arrowroot powder

Mix

Add more oil by 1/2 teaspoon until you reach your desired consistency. If you use a different oil the amount will vary. I added about 1 extra teaspoon of avocado oil. I have made this with coconut oil before but sometimes it would be hard and sometimes it would be soft because it is a saturated fat. I have also tried extra virgin olive oil, but you may not like the initial olive smell although it fades quickly. Feel free to add a couple drops of your favorite essential oil scent. I’ve used lavender before, but I usually just make it plain. 🙂
