In my house we have so many different types of air freshners that are brought into the house, most of them being the sprays like glade and febreeze and whatnot and we ever have a few scentsy warmers in the house. So tonight my little project was to find a few more natural and earth friendly ways to freshen up your house. I know my posts have been sparse so I'm just going to make this a quick list so I can start dipping my toes back in.
1. SALT LAMPS
These lamps are something that I had seen before but had no idea that they could be used to freshen the air in your home! I think they are beautiful and this gives me an even bigger reason to buy one.This is one of the few sites I used to learn about the salt lamps (http://healing.about.com/od/saltrocks/a/salt-lamps.htm) and this is a site I found to purchase where they had beautiful fair trade lamps (http://www.natural-salt-lamps.com/saltcrystallamps.html), though from what I saw they can even be found in places like wal-mart.
2. AROMATHERAPY DIFFUSER
The list of ways essential oils can be used in your home is never ending and using a diffuser is one of the ways to scent your home. Hopefully soon I plan to invest in a diffuser to replace my scentsy in a few rooms (even though I do love their unique scents) . A quick google search will bring you to several different sites to purchase oils and most will give you a background on whatever it is you need to know. Be sure to be specific if you are looking for fair trade and organic oils.
3. POMANDER BALLS
Something I haven't seen since I was little and had somehow gotten shoved to the back of my mind are pomander balls. I had never known the name of them and in case you know it by something different, these are the fruits that have the cloves in them. They are apparently super easy to make and even keep bugs away. http://www.organic.org/articles/showarticle/article-161 Here is a quick link on how to make your own. I'm thinking these would be great in the pantry to keep fruit flies away, can anyone here second that with their experience??
4. DIY Potpourri
Theres too many different recipes out there for me to even choose to list so once again I'm going to suggest a quick google search. You don't have to go out and buy the heavily scents bags at the store but can make your own and most the time it can be as easy and throwing the ingredients to simmer on the stove! Who knew??
Hey everyone. I just got this vulture in. Haven’t done an exam on him yet (waiting on an extra pair of hands) but it sounds like he was grounded in a neighborhood in Greenville for about 5 days. He will most likely require care from someone who knows more about vultures. The problem is, we cannot afford to transport this guy right now. We need help! Many of you know that we do this work voluntarily and pay for everything out of pocket. If you can, please consider donating to our rescue! This vulture really needs your help! You can donate any amount of money through Paypal, to the email address: roverage@hotmail.com!
If all of my followers donated just 50 cents it would be more than enough to pay for this bird to get the help he needs! Please donate!
Thank you to everyone who reblogged!
Unfortunately we have still only received $3 to help this guy out!
This is not enough to get the vulture the care he needs! Please help!
I was finally able to do an examination on him and discovered a compound fracture in his left wing elbow joint. This is a serious injury - especially since it is 5 days old now, and he is severely emaciated because of it!
Listen guys, I know it isn’t the usual ‘cute’ animal that is fun to reblog and support. Like a kitten or a dog. But every animal deserves a happy, healthy live. this guy is suffering with pain and starvation and he needs help. Reblog and donate if you can. It won’t even take that much.
If you can, please help or signal boost. Vultures are true sweeties and need help, too!
Sweet baby :(
Donating when I get home tomorrow
So can somebody please sent me a screen shot or a summary or something of this Bikini Burn workout? Just the first day will do! I need to know if it is worth my hard-earned 99 cents.
I need to know if its too hard for me or not because you people talking about how you almost died is scaring me out of attempting it!

because it helps to remember this every now and then.
Also did anybody else notice that they removed the “Elton John’s AIDS foundation” logo from Miley’s picture? Fuckin’ agendas everywhere….
I literally threw a mini fit
The fact that they even touched up the woman in the BACKGROUND of the Selena Gomez pic is crazy.
I’ve said this every time it comes on my dash but please also notice that a lot of the women get photoshopped lighter.
And that´s the reason why nobody should try to be that thin, because that thin doesn´t exist in reality.
there’s so much racism here with how they change rihanna’s nose
Today we honor a legend who filled generations with laughter.
I love this quote and believe it to be 100% true. If only one simple thing I post or share can inspire someone to change the way they live or even to change just a small part of their everyday routine then we are making a difference.
On a side note, this man will be dearly missed but I have a mental block with these kinds of things and it never really hits me when a celebrity passes away. Especially those that I grew up knowing a watching.

An Iranian-born mathematician has become the first woman to win a prestigious Fields Medal, widely viewed as the Nobel Prize of mathematics.
Maryam Mirzakhani, a Harvard-educated mathematician and professor at Stanford University in California, was one of four winners announced by the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) at its conference in Seoul on Wednesday.
“This is a great honour. I will be happy if it encourages young female scientists and mathematicians,” Mirzakhani said in a press release from Stanford University where she is a professor.

Again annoyed that I couldn’t get my corn to grow this year, but find random corn growing behind a building. Probably watered by drunk guys.
Lmfao I found this hilarious because it describes my gardening skills perfectly. The only thing I can keep alive are succulents and bamboo, and even my cat murdered my bamboo years ago.
Watching a documentary on Netflix about TINY HOUSES! These people are amazing.
Text reads: The plain fact is that the planet does not need more “successful” people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every shape and form. It needs people who live well in their place. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these needs have little to do with success as our culture has defined it. -David W. Orr
