DIY Leg Warmers In Less Than a Minute!

When it comes to winter I can’t stand the cold weather, although living in the Chicago area you have no choice. Winter comes every year and there is nothing you can do about it, except prepare for it! I am the queen of bundling up: leg warmers, scarfs, coats. You name it and I have about ten of them. When you are out of the house my theory is “You can always take layers off, but you can’t put more on”!

Now that I have made my point that I like to layer in the winter, I want to share with you one of my favorite layering tricks. I LOVE wearing leg warmers to help keep my leg extra warm and to make my outfits look nicer. Although I am not a fan of the generic looking leg warmers, the ones that all look the same except in different colors. My Sister-In-Law reminded me of an old trick I once knew about turning your old sweaters into leg warmers. It is super easy and takes less than a minute!

Here is a video showing you just how I made these leg warmers.

You only need an old sweater and fabric scissors.

Hold out one sleeve nice and straight.

Cut from the under arm area to the top of the sleeve.

Cut the arm off your old sweater sleeve to make your own leg warmers Do the same to the other side. That is all there is to it.

Do you wear leg warmers in the winter? I have something extra special for you so I will ask you only one thing. Make sure you don’t throw away the torso part of your sweater, I have a surprise for you coming next week. I know you are going to love it, so make sure you subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss a thing!

Until next time:

Tea For Two!

I don’t know where you are from or what the weather is like where you live but all I know is it is COLD here in Chicago! With the snow up to our ankles and the wind chill below 0 it is a great day to stay inside, bundled up with a warm cup of tea!

I have to admit that I am kind of obsessed with tea, all kinds, warm or cold. Although at night I love having a warm cup of tea before I go to bed. It is so soothing and warmth of the tea running down my throat heats up my whole body.

What can be better than having a cup of tea? Having it with someone else! Tea for two is so much better than having it alone. I guess I am blessed that I have gotten everyone close to me hooked on tea as well 😉 My mother-in-law-to-be gave me this tea pot for Christmas and I use it almost daily.

It is perfect for natural herb teas and is perfect if your tea to have a little steep time!

The tea sits right indie the pot for as long as you need it too while still keeping it warm.

1 teaspoon expands into a whole lot more than that!

You can also get at least 2 pots out of 1 teaspoon.

Serve and enjoy!

Are you a tea of coffee drinker? Do you take a few minutes out of your day to sit and have a cut of your favorite drink?

Thanks for following along!

DIY Detangler / Leave-in-Conditioner (My Most Used Hair Product)

Imagine this: You get out of the shower put a comb through your hair and it actually go though your hair. Then you start to style your hair and it wants to corporate. Better yet, your daughter gets out of bath time and doesn’t scream when you comb through her hair any more. There are not more rats nests and life is simpler. Doesn’t that sound nice? Well… I have the solution, “The Prosante DYI Leave in Conditioner”.

I can’t tell you how many times a week I use this product not only on myself, my family members as well as every single one of my clients. For to many years I was spending a fortune on ready made leave in conditioners and detaglers. I personally think that everyone should use some sort of leave in conditioner everyday. It will truly make a huge difference in your life when it comes to styling your hair and the over all condition of your hair. Our hair really takes a beating from day to day, everything from the blow dryer, curling iron / flat iron to the sun, the wind to the harsh chemicals in the air.

We really have to do everything we can to take care of our hair. Our hair is one of the things we are going to have to live with for the rest of our lives and we should start treating it that way.

Here is a short video showing you just how to I made this detagler!

I love Shaklee’s ProSante Hair Care line and use all of these products everyday.

I used an almost empty Replenishing Conditioner bottle (With 1/8 cup to 1/4 cup of conditioner left in it.) Warm 7 oz. warm water and the top from an empty Long-Lasting Finishing Spray. Any spray bottle with work with all of the same proportions.
