Simply "Cycle" Saturday

Welcome to another week of Simply "Cycle" Saturday. Here are the highlights from the previous weeks. We discussed great second day ways to eat your Turkey Dinner, how to reuse cards you have received, what to do with your old flat pillows, uses for your empty shoe boxes, how to make good use of your old t-shirts, what to do with the newspaper when you are done reading it, and what to do with all those millions of phone books you get at your door.

This week lets talk about what we can do with our old curtains when we decide to change the look in our home. Most of the time when we women decide we want a new look in our homes, the curtains are still in great condition. Here are some uses for them rather than just tossing them out.

  • You could use the material to make clothing. Did you ever see the movie Sound of Music? Great idea right? Need a new shirt, wallah!
  • You could make table placemats out of them. These are very easy to make. You just cut the fabric into squares (about 1" in diameter larger than you want the final product) and sew around the edges. You can sew by hand or a sewing machine. If you want to spruce them up a bit, add a ribbon edging. They will be beautiful.
  • Make tie blankets out of it. You could get a solid colored material for $1 a yard at Walmart, if your curtains are designed, some old pillow batting, and some yarn. You sew three sides of the two materials together, stuff it with the batting, and sew the fourth side shut. Now the yarn is used to hold the batting in place once you have it setting where you would like it to be in the blanket. You can either sew smaller squares with your sewing machine and tie the yarn through at the corners for decoration or you could just use the yarn to hold the batting down about every 16 square inches. My example blanket is in my little guy's room and he is asleep so I will post it later.
  • Decorate headbands with it. You know how you can buy those plastic headbands for a few cents a piece? Well this is a great way to fancy them up a bit! You just cut a piece of material, get out your hot glue gun (or purchase one at the dollar store), glue one side of the material down to the underside of the headband, fold the rest of the material tightly around it, glue the part that meets the material you already glued down, and cut off the excess. There you have it, a beautifully decorated headband!

Now it is your turn. Tell me what you have used your old curtains for. Just leave a comment with your way to re"cycle".

Skincare Giveaway


The makers of Skin MD Natural have sent me a bottle of this product to give away! I had done a review of the product in the past. This lotion is formulated for use on your face, hands, & body. It is a shielding lotion that claims to "exceptionally enhance your skin's hydrating & protective abilities". This company's products really seem to work for me. Here is a chance for you to try it out too!
I have a 4oz bottle of Skin MD Natural that I would like to give away! This giveaway will be open until Tuesday, December 9th. Here are several ways that you can get entries:
  1. Leave a comment here stating what kind of lotion you use.
  2. Subscribe to this blog or become a follower. Once you do this, leave a comment here telling me you have done this.
  3. Blog about this giveaway. Once you have done this, leave a comment with the link to your blog post.

If you do not have a blog, be sure to enter your email address with your comment so I know how to contact you. The winner will be picked randomly through Random.org. Once the winner is picked, I will contact them via email as well as post here. The winner will then have 24 hours to reply back to me. If the winner does not reply in the given time period, the second name on the list will be notified as winner. GOOD LUCK!!!

Gloves In A Bottle

In the past, I had done a review for Skin MD Naturals. The company sent me another lotion to try called Gloves In A Bottle. I had heard of it before but never tried it. Now that I have, here is what I think of it.

At first, it didn't work. My hands were still very dry and chalky. After a few days of use, my hands seemed to improve and weren't so dry. I don't think the lotion feels like you are wearing a pair of gloves though. I work in a lab and wear gloves all day. Gloves are not comfortable and make my skin dry. This lotion seems to give moisture over time. You won't notice right away but you will see a difference with time.

So long story short. I recommend this product for skin moisture. I think it really does work!

Buyer BEWARE!!!

If any of you have purchased any BiC items and have filled out a rebate form and received your check back from the company, be sure to check your bank statement. My sister-in-law made me aware today that a rebate check she received from BiC has been returned. I quickly went to my bank statement and sure enough, mine had been returned also. I contacted my bank to get the check back for hard proof and I emailed the BiC Corporation. Hopefully they will rectify the situation quickly.

My thought is though, why would they send me a check that is going to bounce? I would rather them not send one at all then having to fight with returned check and fees and all.

If you have had the same thing happen to you, leave a comment here and let us know what you did and if they rectified the situation or not.

Update: Here is the email I received back from BiC today. If you have the same problem, this email should apply to you as well.
