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!

Yesterday, I was thinking how different my life is Yesterday, I was thinking how different my life is in my early 30’s than it was in my early 20’s.

In my 20’s, 
I was in multiple toxic friendships.

After losing my boyfriend, I spiraled with alcohol.

I spent way too many nights out until 2 or 3am.

Especially in my early 20’s, I was living off of processed food.

I was spending way too much money on stuff.

In my 30’s,

I’ve said goodbye to people that drain my energy.

Tea is my go-to drink.

I’ve been getting up earlier and having relaxing mornings. 

I eat lots of whole, clean foods and haven’t touched fast food for YEARS!

I spend more money on experiences and way less on stuff.

I feel like your 20’s is all about learning who you are, what you’re okay with and not okay with, learning lessons the hard way, and growing into your own person.

Your 30’s is about embracing yourself, being at peace, and doing what makes you happy instead of trying to impress or keep up with others 💕

These candles are made with beeswax, coconut oil, pure essential oils, and they’re Made Safe Certified! 

Holiday Cheer is for you if you like the more rich, classic holiday scents. It’s a blend of peppermint, fir, and wintergreen essential oils. This one smells very nostalgic to me! 

Christmas Cookie smells EXACTLY like my moms famous Christmas Sugar Cookies with frosting! It’s sweet, but not too sweet, and it’s literally identical to my moms sugar cookies. 

I’m obsessed! Which scent would you try???

These tampon brands might contain organic cotton, These tampon brands might contain organic cotton, but that’s not their only ingredient! 

These companies either don’t fully disclose their ingredients and use code words like “water repellant wax” (okay, what’s in your water repellant wax mam?), or they contain other toxic chemicals along with the organic cotton.

These ingredients they contain include…
❌Polyethylene
❌Polyester
❌Paraffin
❌Titanium Dioxide
❌Polypropylene 

My personal favorite tampon brand is @natracare. The only ingredient in them is 100% organic cotton! And that’s all that should be in your tampons!

Laser Hair Removal, Part 3! If I had to do it ove Laser Hair Removal, Part 3!

If I had to do it over again, I would definitely just do it at home.

Keep in mind though, everyone’s skin is different, everyone’s hair growth is different, what works for one might not work for someone else.

I know many people who have had a great experience with professional laser hair removal and it worked great for them! For me, the at home device worked better and it’s so, so, so much cheaper! 

But do what works best for you and your budget! I hope this helps you if you’re thinking about getting laser hair removal! And don’t forget to watch parts 1 & 2 if you haven’t already!

If you have any questions or want to share your experience with laser hair removal, leave a comment! 💕

I absolutely LOVE the @braun_global IPL device. It has so much power and feels extremely similar to the professional device in the dermatologist’s office!

I’ve had great results with the Brain IPL device!!!

Part 1/3 of my IPL laser hair removal experience! Part 1/3 of my IPL laser hair removal experience!

I got professional IPL laser hair removal from a cosmetic dermatologist and I purchased the Braun at home IPL device.

I decided to do laser hair removal because I hate being stubbly 1 day after shaving…it’s uncomfortable, time consuming, terrible for the environment, and doesn’t look the best. 

Laser hair removal has been a game changer!
