Pick-Me-Up Diffusing Blend

Need something refreshing or to pick you up if you are in a slump?  Lemon, Bergamot and Grapefruit are citrus essential oils and help to uplift and energize!  I love diffusing this blend anytime I need a "Pick-Me-Up" 

Take each essential oil and drop 4 drops of Lemon and Bergamot and 5 drops or Grapefruit into your diffuser and diffuse away. 
Let me know if you try!

Dollar Tree Tupperware Cupboard Organization

My Tupperware is in desperate need of organization and today is the day!  I went to my local Dollar Tree and found this red basket that you see in the top shelf on the left.  I pulled all the Tupperware out and put their lids on.  I found several pieces that had no match and I toss them.  In the Dollar Tree basket I placed all my glass storage ware and their lids for easy access. 

How do you organize your Tupperware or Storage Containers I love to know let me know in the comments below.

Thrift Store Spice Cupboard Organization

Recently, I was at my local thrift store and found some great finds to organize my Spice Cupboard.  I found 2 stacking/stair wiring racks that you see on the top and middle shelf.  On the bottom shelf I found a lazy susan for all our vitamins and medicine.  Note, my oven mittens (I love them)  are hanging on hooks that I found at the Dollar Store.

Do you have thrift store or second hand finds that are great for organizing your home, please share in the comments below. 

A Natural Way of getting rid of Fruit Flies

Well, my kitchen has had a huge manifest of fruit flies not sure why but, they are attacking my fruit and such so, I came up with a solution after careful research on the Internet to keep these nasty buggers out of my Modern Kitchen Here is the potion!

• apple cider vinegar
• dish soap
• a clean jar
• water

Combine a cup of vinegar, cup water and a tablespoon of  liquid dish soap in mason jar and ta-da after a day or so the bottom of the jar should look like mine!  Note, I make a fresh potion weekly but, leave out for a good month to ensure all is caught!

Homemade Keurig Cleaning

Yup, you need to clean your Keurig and the only way I know to do it is with vinegar!   First, fill 75 % of your water chamber with water and then the remaining of the chamber with vinegar.   Next, run Keurig till it is out of the vinegar/water mixture.  Finally, fill chamber with clean water only.  Run and repeat if needed.
