stopping mail scams

Today at nans she brought a pile of junk mail her husband received. One of those letters was claiming he had won a significant amount of money.
If you find your family or yourself getting them and cannot find anywhere to stop these awful companies ripping off your family on the letter don't despair you may be looking in the wrong place.
I scoured these letters and by chance found the answer hidden away printed on the inside of the envelop, crafty beggars. All you have to do is fill in the details tick to no longer receive promotional mail and as if by magic they dissappear back where they came from.

This is not the only way but a good few methods could result in you being added to a  'sucker list' read everything extremely careful and multiple times.

Good luck in your quest to end these jerks.
 

Cute overload

I'm sure everyone has seen those pictures of the dogs in shower caps by now they're allover after all.  Today was bath day for Mr bear, not his real name but better safe than sorry.
Everyone sees him as this big scary guard dog so I thought I would show you my scary bear. He hates water in his ears and get super fidgety when I start to wash his neck so I thought hey let's try a shower cap at worst he'll shake it off at best he'll be adorable and we'll behaved.
Conclusion, it totally worked and everyone was a lot happier.

Champagne ideas, pop bottle pockets

I've been quiet since setting up my blog, I can here y'all yelling "you suck". I'm aware guys.
I'm quiet because I've been busy creating crochet patterns for sock monkey slipper socks, try saying that 5 times with a numb tongue. Alongside that I've been packing and sorting so I'm ready when we downsize from our 3 bed house to our 2 bed flat, thanks British government the bedroom tax is the best. Yes sarcasm does make me feel better.
Now back on point I've always wanted a huge wardrobe but never have the space for the type I want. My fault for wanting a two story walk in wardrobe to accommodate my love for shoes.
Instead I have decided to go with a fitted wardrobe. I don't have the funding for a professional to tailor one for me so I will be doing it myself I'm not sure how but what I can say is that I will take many pictures as I go with instructions, ideas and where I bought/rescued my resources from. Hopefully I can inspire you to create your own storage perfection,  until then play nice!

Gelatine milk face mask result

Everyone hates blackheads! Fact. I'm always on the lookout for a quick fix. The other day one popped up on my pinterest feed so of course I had to try it.
The picture was of a very white misshapen obviously self made pore strip with whole blackheads pulled cleanly. That sold it so off I ran to grab my unflavoured gelatine and milk.
The recipe called for 1 teaspoon of gelatine mixed into 2 to 3 teaspoons of milk, stirred heated then restirred and applied to the problem areas.
I personally have a bad t-zone so I opted for 3 teaspoons of milk to one of gelatine.
I heated the mix for a total of 25 seconds and applied to my face very quickly.
After leaving on for 15 minutes and having my face become so stiff I sympathised with the weeping angels I began peeling strips off crossing my toes as I went.
I was hoping I'd finally found the right trick, unfortunately it didn't remove a noticeable amount however all is not lost.
If you have bad flakes of dry skin that usually clear up with exfoliating like me I can confirm that this does clear that up quite quickly however it left the area a bit sore.
This also would make an excellent peeling skin for dressing up as a zombie.
I will not rule this out as a wonder cure as I try every experiment twice, this time I'm going drop to just one spoon of milk and update this post with my findings.
One day I will find my blackhead cure, if anyone has a product or recipe that works for them get in touch I'll try it out and give credit to anyone as well as linking back to original blog/website.
Help cure bad skin!
