The First Pin

Today the first pin in my list is a picture of some land art - which I am very pleased about because I would like to get out tomorrow. Here is the pin picture- This leads me to a lovely blog Simon Max Bannister Journey, explore, create, where he shows us the making of and the thought behind this work of natural art, So tomorrow we will head out to a local beach and try our best to make some land art of our own 😃 -------------------------------------------- WEll...We tried...The weather was not the best, it was really really windy and even the sticks we tried to use blew away lol But here it is - our beach Mandela -   We will probably try this again when the weather is nicer and I'm not pregnant, because bending down over and over proved to be very tough (how soft am I?) Well, that's all for this one  -I wonder what the next pin will bring.

With the weather being hot and me being pregnant -I could really use one right now - lol - but I need to shop first.

The scrubs are all different scents and some seem to be made mainly of salt, whilst others are sugar scrubs. Looking through these, I have chosen the one at the very bottom to do - A Honey Brown Sugar scrub - as I have just bought a large jar of honey - lol The link I clicked led me to a recipe website A Pumpkin & a Princess   Here is the recipe, it is very nicely written and a simple recipe to follow. So here we go my first attempt at a body scrub !! ------------- Ok body scrub complete - and here's my picture - I quite like this - especially on my hands as it does not dry them like soap does.
