DIY Floral Wall Mural | Cheap, Affordable (Under $40)

Blog, DIY Crafts

Since the world has been quarantined, I’ve had time to do just about everything I’ve put off doing because I didn’t have time. Not only was getting my blog up and running again and detoxing the nasty chemicals from my life on my list, but I also did A LOT of organizing and got rid of a lot of clutter! And let me tell you, getting rid of clutter is so freeing! It’s just relaxing to go into a space and it be neat, organized, and not claustrophobic feeling.

When I got rid of so much clutter, my bedroom almost seemed empty. In my opinion, rooms that are too empty aren’t very cozy. Instead of getting more “stuff” to fill the space, I decided to make my own floral mural for the wall above my desk! And then I decided to add it to my Toxin Free Lifestyle blog because I got a lot of positive feedback when I posted a picture on my Instagram story, and it’s my blog so I can do what I want with it! LOL. (But getting rid of clutter is like a mental detox, so it still fits, right?)

I’d seen these floral walls on Etsy, but they were super expensive…like $40 for a small square. I’d need at least 8 or 10 of the squares to fill the space over my desk, and that’s just way too expensive. For $40, I made my own! I got everything at the Dollar Tree (besides my hot glue gun…I already had one of those.)

Supplies You’ll Need:

-35-40 “bouquets” of flowers: Each one of these at the Dollar Tree is $1 and they have about 6 flowers in each. I got about 6 different kinds of flowers in different shades of pink, white, and ivory.

-2 Foam Boards: Again, each of these was $1 at the Dollar Tree.

-Glue Gun

Step 1: Pull all of the flowers off the stems. (Miss Cammie always wants to help!)

Step 2: Cut the little piece off that held the flower onto the stem to make the base of the flower flat.

Step 3: Hot glue the flowers onto the foam boards.

Before I glued them, I put all the flowers into a pile and mixed them up so I could just grab random ones to glue on.

This was such an easy project and it looks perfect hanging above my desk! By the way, I just used a few thumb tacks to hang the boards on the wall. Let me know if you give this project a try! And I love crafting in general, so I may pop in a few DIY crafty posts here and there…we’ll see!

Clean Circle sent me their *NEW* Dissolvable Eye M Clean Circle sent me their *NEW* Dissolvable Eye Masks to try! 

I LOVE all of my other Clean Circle products and use them daily so I was so excited when they reached out asking me to test the new eye masks!

Pros:
-They truly are dissolvable in hot water! The eye mask themselves does not cause any waste.
-They work! I tried the lightening/brightening eye mask and it really did work. I suffer from awful dark circles and it did brighten my under eyes. 

Personal Cons:
-They do come in a plastic jar. For the nature of the product though, I understand why.
-They do contain propylene glycol, pentylene glycol, and phenoxyethanol which I do try and avoid. (Check out any of my posts listing ingredients I avoid for the reasoning.) 

Overall, I love Clean Circle as a company and I’m obsessed with their Konjac Sponge, Reusable Makeup Remover Pads, and Reusable Skincare Pads!

People (and doctors) love to blame “genetics” People (and doctors) love to blame “genetics” for their health issues.

Is genetics really to blame though?? Less than 10% of c**cer is actually caused by genetics. Type 2 diabetes is diet related.

So are genes to blame? Or are the habits and lifestyle choices passed down a MUCH BIGGER issue than genetics?

I’d say the latter is true. If you grew up with your parents/grandparents using Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce, that’s probably what you’ll buy too. If you grew up with a bunch of Kelloggs and General Mills snacks in the pantry, you’ll probably walk those same grocery isles. If you grew up in a house “freshened” with Febreze, glade plug ins, and yankee candles, you’ll probably do the same. If your parents cleaned with Lysol and used Downey scent boosters in the laundry, there’s a good chance those are the cleaning products you’ll buy.

Break the cycle! Do your research! It’s never too late to start swapping products and to start making better food choices! 

Follow along for tips to help you in your wellness journey!

Fontana sent me their *NEW* Pure Vanilla candle to Fontana sent me their *NEW* Pure Vanilla candle to try! 

To be honest, I’m usually not a fan of Vanilla scents. I always LOVE the way they smell, but after a few minutes, I end up with a nauseating migraine. 

The Pure Vanilla candle from @fontanacandlecompany smells like actual vanilla! Not artificial vanilla. The best way to describe the scent is like vanilla bean ice cream. 

Fontana candles are completely toxin free! Use the link in my bio with the code SIMPLYSARENA15 for 15% off your Fontana purchase!

Summer is almost here and you know what that means Summer is almost here and you know what that means!! Tailgates, barbecues, potlucks, picnics!

All of these activities usually include lots of dressings, sauces, and other condiments…

Unfortunately, most condiments contain
❌ High Fructose Corn Syrup
❌ Canola Oil or Soybean Oil
❌ Preservatives like Sodium Benzoate 
❌ Natural Flavors

These condiments from Wegmans are much cleaner options that your name brand condiments. A few of the cleaner options do have xanthan gum, organic smoke flavor, and organic spices on the ingredient label however, they are still much better choices than the name brand junk.

I love that Wegmans has dressings and Mayo made with avocado oil and the rest of their condiments are pretty affordable too! 

*Pro Tip* download the Wegmans app and clip the coupons. If you buy anything with a clipped coupon from the app, the discount gets applied when you checkout!

I strive for toxin free, but there are still some I strive for toxin free, but there are still some things I can’t give up 🙈 

I really like the 80/20 rule! Try to be as toxin free as you can while giving yourself grace because you’re human and our world is so toxic it’s hard to 100% avoid!

I am a woman…a woman is an adult human female. I I am a woman…a woman is an adult human female. I am not a “cis woman”, do not call me that…just get rid of that term please! 

I’m so sick of men playing dress up and mocking women AND profiting off of it! They might think they “feel” like a woman, but how do they know what a woman feels like?? They don’t! There’s no way for them to know because they are not one.

But do not bully these people, do not spread hate towards them. Treat them how you would want to be treated. Love them, give them real support, not affirming support but real love and support to help them address the root of why they believe this about themselves. We do not need more hate in this world. 

Could this behavior be trauma that hasn’t been addressed? Likely. Could it be their bodies are so overloaded with estrogen mimicking chemicals that have altered their hormonal responses? Likely too. Could it be trendy and they want to fit in with a certain group? Probably. 

Big pharma is using these people for financial gain! These affirming doctors don’t care about you…they care about pushing this agenda for profit. It’s not a medically cheap lifestyle and they know it. 

It’s sad that people are being fooled and misled. But God doesn’t make mistakes. No one was born in the wrong body. And if you’re feeling unfulfilled in life, maybe you need God to fulfill you in a way nothing on this earth can.
