EDIBLE SHOT GLASSES
I should have done this months ago, like during the summer as these are frozen alcoholic treats, but better late than never..

LUXIRARE SHOE REPAIR
These shoes that I had gotten from Etsy were pretty worn out when I first received them, but after a good 3-4 months of wearing them nearly every other day, straps finally slipped loose from the base and the shoes were rendered un-walkable. It happened to me on the street and after that night for two weeks I wondered if I should throw them away, sitting in my room they looked so sad! One of the platforms was missing two of it’s straps, and the sole fell apart. It was time to turn a disaster into something positive.

SCENTED ALMOND MILK
One reader named Nikki had left a comment about almond milk, it’s something I like to drink now because it lacks that animal-scent you get with cow’s milk. I’ve never really been a fan of soy milk but almond milk is amazing. Anyway, in the comment she mentioned that it is so easy to make your own, and so I tried it with a small batch of nuts just to test if it was in fact easy. (This is why it’s important that you guys leave useful comments because yes I do read and respond to them even though I may not comment directly, the more you tell me what you want the better it is for you.) And..yes! It was very easy, the most challenging part is finding whole blanched almonds. At whole foods you can find them in very small packages but you need a lot of nuts to make the milk, so you’ll need a big batch.
But I decided to take it a step further and create scented flavors for the almond milk. It has such a clean base that it’s perfect to flavor it with fresh herbs, I used Vanilla, Black truffle, Rose, Mint, Basil and Cinnamon to scent my milk. What’s great about this is that if you use a real vanilla bean to flavor your almond milk it tastes so much better than the artificially flavored stuff.
Also there is a VERY STRONG taste difference between my fresh almond milk and the milk I buy from stores. The one I made tastes better and creamier, the processed milk has a slightly more almond-y taste, but it’s a little fake tasting after you make your own. The best part is that you can control what you put into this milk.
