Designing My Wedding Center Pieces {Using Clear Wine Bottles}

With the wedding only four and a half months away I feel like there is still so much to do. I know that I am going to have a ton of DIY things for the reception since I want to make sure that everything is cost efficient. Ok, and because I want everything to be perfect and just what I have envisioned.

Pinterest has been a great help with all of my planning so far! It has helped me decide so many things, for instance: My wedding color scheme along with some of my other Wedding ideas.

Although today I am going to need a little bit of your help. I can’t decide what I want to do with all of these clear glass wine bottles. My Mom and Dad were down at a winery in Missouri, where they picked up a couple dozen empty clear wine bottles that I can use for the wedding.

So naturally I would go on pinterest to see what kind of DIY’s I could come up with for clear wine glasses. These were my favorites:

This one I cold even use all of the corks I have been collecting.

Meanwhile, I had to get these bottles in shape for the wedding. I needed to remove the tops and the labels off of all of them. I thought it would take hours because there were so many.

I filled up our sink with hot water and put a quarter of a teaspoon of Basic H into the tub and let them soak for 10 minutes.

To my surprise all of the labels came right off! Thank you Basic H!

I am so glad it only took me 10 minutes to get all of these cleaned and not a couple of hours like I thought it would.

So after all of that work, the question still stands: What do you think I should do with all of these wine bottles? I just can’t make up my mind.

Cleaning Your Nail Polish Bottle

When you are working with nail polish you need to be very careful so you don’t spill any polish on pretty much anything. I hope I am not telling you anything you haven’t herd already. Nail polish is the one thing that you don’t want to spill on anything because it is so hard to get out. Even Shaklee Get Clean products might have a hard time cleaning up nail polish and they can get out everything!

So what happens to you nail polish bottle when you get nail polish all over the top? The top gets stuck to the bottle and it is next to imposable to get open. Unless you use this technique that I am about to show you.

Here is a short video showing you just how to open a bottle after it is suck shut as well as a way to keep it from getting stuck again.

I am telling you that this works, try it and see! Let me know how it goes. Good luck and happy painting.

Cleaning Your Tongue

I talked before about keeping your teeth clean, fresh and white. What I didn’t mention was the the importance of cleaning your tongue as well. We spend so much time brushing and flossing our teeth to help keep our smiles big and bright, but nobody even mentation’s our tongue. Our tongue is kind of like the keeper of our mouth, everything that goes into our mouth has to touch our tongue. It is only natural that we should have to clean it regularly as we do our teeth.

Here is a short video explaining just why it is so important.
