Business Procedures Plan for Emma'z Ediblez

Business Overview:

Emma’z Ediblez, is a fully customizable DIY Edible Kit, that aims to bring comfort; in knowing exactly what’s going into the treats your eating, Affordability; in under-cutting and competing with our top competitor in the market, (Paracanna) and most importantly FUN; by giving individuals, couples, friends, co-workers, and family a reason to gather and create not only a new memory- but a chance to bring customization back in the hands it should be- the consumers. As our span of life as a company will be short, we plan on selling every kit we could afford to make within our $50 seed fund money. 

Emma’z Ediblez will sell a limited edition, pop-up ‘Christmas only special’ DIY Ediblez Kit. We start by getting the consumer onto our website through Instagram or TikTok, and letting them begin the customization process. There they will have an option between 3 molds, 5 flavors of base, and 12 options for ‘Dip, Roll, or Dunk.’ Then, they will receive a kit with everything they need to start their edible process besides the THC or CBD Drops. In the kit they will also receive a full step-by-step user friendly guide to create the edibles as well as a chart on measurements for the edibles to make sure they are with legal limit. 

Location and Facilities:

Emma’z Ediblez will not have a physical location considering the budget. As a result of the cost that will be associated with creating the kits, we feel it is best to stick to being fully online and preparing the kits within my home to be shipped out to anyone that orders. 

Also, due to the nature of the product and the fact that Emma’z Ediblez will not be making the product themselves- no need for a commercial kitchen space. 

Legal Structure and Ownership:

Emma’z Ediblez is a sole proprietorship, owned and operated by Emma Delazzari.

Key Stakeholders include: Emma Delazzari and her $50 investment into my own business. 

Key Personnel:

Emma Delazzari- Responsibilities include but are not limited to; Creating the website for Emma’z Ediblez, Managing Emma’z Ediblez online traffic, posting and being active on all social media, creating and writing the guides, buying the product needed for the kits, doing the bookkeeping included in running the business, shipping the kits, and making them up as orders come in.

Suppliers and Partnerships:

Dollar Store, Food Basics, and Bulk Barn will be my main suppliers. 

Dollar Store- Packaging, Thank You Letter paper.

Food Basics- Corn Syrup, Jello, Toppings.

Bulk Barn- Gelatin, molds, liquid droppers.

Inventory and Supply Chain Management:

Detail how you will manage inventory, including ordering, stocking, and tracking.

As for managing the supplies and products I will be buying in order to assemble the kits, I will be limited to my $50 budget, So based on my projections for cost that would make me about 10-20 kits. When it comes to creating an instagram, this is how we will contact potential customers. We will advertise that they must ‘Direct Message’ to order. There, they will provide an address, and be told that the transaction must be cash only. If they would like the product delivered- they will be told there will be a $5-$10 additional charge for gas. 

When customers DM and place an order, I then get to assembling the kit, making sure that all the necessary tools, ingredients, and guide are in the kit in order for the customer to be able to complete the activity.

Quality Control & Production Processes:

In order to ensure the utmost quality control, would be to prepare each kit with a fresh set of gloves after washing our hands. Then, we would sanitize the Kit making Station before and after each kit. Emma’z Ediblez will always buy from reliable sources such as Food Basics, Bulk Barn and the Dollar Tree.

Got A Permit For That?:

The necessary permits that are required for this business is:

Ontario Business Name Registration /Corporation Registration

Weighing and Measuring Device

Safe Food for Canadians Licence

Risk Management:

The first risk would be the potential for this to take off and do well on Instagram and I won’t have the time or inventory to keep-up as I am still working a full time job and just doing this course whenever I have spare time. 

The second risk would be if there are laws that I am not aware of that I would be breaking in opening this venture.

Friends of the bride: what is expected of you?

Before receiving the  official wedding invitation, you already knew that this year (or next) you will participate in very important weddings: those of your childhood friend to whom you have probably already agreed to be a best man or bridesmaid, or to a dear friend you have recently met but with whom you have formed a deep friendship, so much so that she has already asked you to accompany her to the wedding dress test or consulted for dispassionate advice on how one type of wedding hairstyle could look like her rather than another .

In any case, you friends of the bride will have a very important role and fundamental tasks to carry out, both during the previous planning phase of the wedding, and during the big day!

Wedding preparations: practical help and moral support

Ready to become special fashion consultants, psychologists and wedding planners starting when you receive the announcement of your closest friend’s wedding?

But let’s see in detail how you could participate in planning this wedding:

Choice of bridal outfit

If she asks you, you can’t help but become her main fashion consultant! The catalogs of the latest collections of paranoias wedding dresses you will probably dream of them even at night, along with the names of all the necklines and fabrics existing in the bridal world, but you will have the privilege of being the first to see the bride with the chosen dress ! You will have fun and maybe even some tears of emotion will come out…

The bachelorette party

The bride’s best friends will be in charge of organizing her bachelorette party! No one will know better than you which “type of celebration” suits the personality and character of the future bride. You will have the task of informing you about who the other guests and friends of the bride will be and involve them, trying to plan and keep everything well-hidden until the day of the party.

Helping in DIY!

If the bride is a lover of DIY and creativity and will resort to DIY for many decorative details of her wedding, your task will be to guarantee her two more hands in the realization of the DIY wedding place cards that she will create for the wedding tables. You will search with her for the most original ideas and help her to put them into practice!

Prepare your outfit

If you are going to be her bridesmaids, you will need to talk to her if she has any preferences about what your look should be , if she wants for example that you all wear long formal dresses of the same color.

Moral support in times of stress

Especially if you are the witnesses or bridesmaids, it will be essential for the spouses to have you close as psychological support to play down and scale down small problems or unforeseen events that could send the bride into crisis, thus referring to all the problem solving available .

The wedding day during the ceremony

We arrive at the fateful day! Throughout the day, your friend will need you more than ever! As? Let’s see what you need to take care of.

If you are the bridesmaids.

You will have to assist the bride during her dressing , then accompany her in the procession, keep the pageboys and child bridesmaids under control during the ceremony (if there are any) and worry about arranging the long train of her elegant lace wedding dress whenever necessary. , when he gets out of the car, when he sits down and gets up during the ceremony.

If you are the witnesses.

In addition to assisting her during the beauty preparations or helping her in the realization of her DIY wedding makeup, you will then have to quickly reach the place of the ceremony to welcome the guests. If there are no bridesmaids, you will be the custodians of the wedding rings or the bouquet of flowers when the bride will not be able to hold it in her hand in some moments, and you will be in charge of reading some passages. At the end of the ceremony, you will sign with the couple.

On the wedding day, during the reception

After moments of stronger emotional tension during the wedding ceremony, finally after you can relax during the reception! You can, and deservedly must, enjoy the party too, but without forgetting to:

Keep a bride’s emergency kit prepared and guarded with handkerchiefs, deodorant, patches, replacement shoes and make-up products in case your friend’s natural bridal make-up becomes stained with drops of mascara or lipstick molds for the many kisses received.

Check that everything goes according to plan. If the couple have not hired a wedding planner, this task will be up to you, especially if you are the witnesses. You will have to make sure that everything runs as planned, manage the guests and help them if necessary in arranging the tables.

During the party, you will have to let loose, spread joy and happiness and involve the shyest guests in the dances!

Finally, if you too have fallen in love with your friend’s romantic bouquet of peonies and if you are single, do not forget to get in the front row to win, as tradition has it, the famous launch of the bridal bouquet!

16 Common Scenarios: When To DIY and When to Hire a Pro

Owning a home is generally liberating, you can make the space that you want, contribute towards your personal equity and not be at the mercy of your rent possibly increasing by 100%. However, it does come with more responsibility as you can no longer call on your landlord for maintenance and repairs. The toilet you never had to use if it wasn’t to dispose of your own bodily fluids? Now you have to upkeep. The beautiful yard which looked so luscious and green when you purchased the property? Yep, your lawnmower has to take care of that now. 

You may be tempted to call a professional contractor, plumber, electrician, or landscaper but these things can add up and eat away at your budget. At the same time, in today’s day and age, finding online video tutorials which explain how to do (almost) anything is so easily attainable that it becomes increasingly tempting to just pick up some tools of the trade and do it all yourself, even if you don’t have the skills needed to fix your own home. It’s important to note that a DIY home project without the right planning and knowledge can actually end up being more expensive in the long run as calling a pro down the line would require they fix the original problem plus the new problem that was caused by the homeowner taking on a project he or she was not ready for. Even if you are comfortable with some projects, the knowledge base needed for another project may not be the same. You also have to consider the amount of time, materials, tools, and in some cases, permits that are needed to tackle your home improvement projects.

So what should you DIY and what should you leave to the experts? While we’re all about saving some bucks, there are some times when pros are needed and other times when you should save some cash and do the handiwork yourself. So, whether you are a homeowner who wants to save some money or a renting tenant who just wants to take care of some things without having to wait for your landlord, here are 16 common situations and when you can DIY versus when a pro should be called. Spoiler alert: it’s an even score!

 1.     Removing Popcorn Ceilings - Hire a pro

For starters, removing popcorn ceilings is extremely messy. Though it is gaining in popularity lately as popcorn ceilings seem to be tied to an old world style, taking on this project requires a lot of steps. To start, the popcorn must be sprayed and softened by a softening agent. The next step would be for all of the surface area must be scraped with a blade. This part can be particularly difficult as scraping unquestionably creates divots and holes on the surface. Those divots and holes need repair with compound that will need to dry and then be sanded smooth before painting. For the last step, everything needs to be primed and then painted with two coats of paint. Since it is all done on the ceiling, the work is overhead and requires the person doing the job to be standing on ladders for long periods of time.

 2.     Fixing a Leaky Kitchen or Bathroom Pipe - DIY it

Sounds scary, but this can have a simple solution. Sometimes parts of the draining system become lose so it may just be a quick fix. All you would have to do is tighten a slip-nut near the P-Trap. If the leak is coming directly from a hole in the drain pipe, the fix would require a flexible coupling with hose clamps. However, if the leak is inside the wall, then you may want to consider calling a pro.

 3.     Hanging Wallpaper - Hire a pro

While this seems easier than fixing a leaky kitchen or bathroom pipe, the challenge is getting the wallpaper straight on the wall and matching up the patterns correctly so that it looks smooth. This typically requires two people to do the job. Also, sometimes the wallpaper you hang up can cause bubbling; when this happens you have to remove the wallpaper and install a new strip of wallpaper. This can (1) be very labor intensive and (2) end up using up more wallpaper than needed which would then run up your expense as you would need to order more. Since this isn’t a safe vs. not safe scenario, it’s up to your discretion to decide whether going down the DIY route and the potential savings outweigh the potential risks. Getting a pro to do this job basically guarantees a smooth and predictable result.  

 4.     Painting the Exterior of Your Home - Hire a pro

Talking about labor intensive jobs, painting the exterior of a house is a huge job. The majorities of homes require all of the trim, soffits, and rake boards to be painted. Depending on the type of home, all of the siding would of course need to be painted as well. Not only will this take hours to be done correctly, but it also required extensive use of ladders at high levels and sometimes climbing up on the roof. As a homeowner, you need to consider safety requirements before taking on an exterior job.

 5.     Fixing a Clogged Garbage Disposal - DIY it

As a first method to repair the problem, you may be able to DIY yourself out of this one. You may be able to clear a clogged disposal by using a small specialty wrench that fits into a hexagonal opening on the underside of the disposal. Make sure that the disposal is turned off before starting the work. If this doesn’t work it would be wise to call on a pro to take a further look at it.

 6.     Replacing a Faucet – DIY it

This one comes with a huge caveat. We only recommend to DIY it if it’s a centerset type faucet as all you would need to do here would be to follow the faucet manufacturer's installation instructions. A more complicated, wide-spread type of faucet with various hose connections on the underside, however, would be best handled by a professional.

 7.     Fix a Running Toilet - DIY it

You can get a toilet rebuild kit from big box or hardware stores and fix a running toilet easily by following the straightforward and easy-to-follow instructions that come within the kit. If you have a one-piece or specialty toilet, these can become tricky and would therefore need the professional touch.

 8.     Installing a Light Fixture - Hire a pro

Though electrical repairs and installations are mostly always expensive, these tasks are best left to a professional electrician. If you’d like to give it a go and take some time to research and understand your electrical system, you may be able to get the necessary skills to complete simple electrical projects yourself. As a rule of thumb for installing a light fixture, low voltage projects can be safely done by a homeowner, but if your project is over 50 volts, it’s best to get an electrician in.

 9.     Installing a Ceiling Fan - Hire a pro

This one almost goes hand in hand with the above as installing a ceiling fan is not extremely difficult but would require some electric wire work.  This task may also be a bit labor intensive and take a few hours depending on your home maintenance experience and the fan itself. Save this project for a professional to ensure the fan is safely installed and isn’t left wobbly as this can be a safety hazard when the fan is on, especially at a high fan setting.

 10.            Adding Chimes to Your Doorbell - DIY it

A simple home improvement project would be to add chimes to your existing doorbell system.  If this is something you are interested in doing, you can do this easily as it is a low-voltage project that doesn’t require the know-how of the pros.

 11.            Patching a Hole in Drywall – DIY it

Perhaps one of the simplest fixes you can take on is patching a nail hole in your wall. This is an easy way to give your old drywall a fresh face.  Just take a spackle knife and fill in each hole with lightweight putty. Then scrape off any excess putty from the wall and let it dry.  Once dry, sand the spot down until it is smooth and paint the area which was repaired with primer. If you are looking to take care of a bigger hole, drywall cutting, replacing, or mudding then its best to get a pro in to take care of it.

 12.            Cleaning Gutters - DIY it

Only go the DIY route on this one if you are comfortable on a ladder. When gutters are clogged, it can cause water to sit still around the house, eventually leaking into the basement, and seeping under siding. Sooner or later this will cause major mold and rot issues. To be preventative in these scenarios, get into the habit of cleaning leaves out the gutters every spring and fall. Please note this is only recommended as a DIY task for single-story homes with level grounding around the foundation and an experienced ladder climber. It is also recommended to do this project when someone else is there to hold the ladder still and help. If your home is two stories or more, or if you aren’t comfortable climbing up a high ladder in order to clean out the debris, it’s best to hire a pro. 

 13.            Re-grouting Tile - DIY it

This may not be the DIY project you start off with, but once you are comfortable with other DIY home maintenance projects then this is a common household fix (or upgrade) which you can do. Since the surface of tile grout is porous, it is easy for dirt to get caught in the cracks of the grout which makes the grout look discolored. 

To complete this project you first need to choose the right one out of 4 choices: sanded, unsanded, acrylic latex, or epoxy. To figure out which one you will need, measure the space between your tiles.  As a general rule, if the space between the tiles is under 1/8-inch, use an unsanded, acrylic, or epoxy grout. If it is over 1/8-inch, use a sanded grout. Also, don’t forget to match the grout color! Once you purchase the right grout, clean the grouted area. Next use a grout saw in order to remove the damaged grout and then dampen the joints with a wet rag. Take a look at the directions on the grout you purchased and mix accordingly. It is important to fill all the joints completely and smooth over the surface with a damp sponge to remove excess grout. Allow the grout to set firmly and then clean with a damp rag.

 14.            Installing Molding - Hire a pro

The toughest thing about installing crown molding is the necessity for accurate measurement. Though you may have a power saw (or know where to rent one from), this is also a job that requires great stability while standing on a ladder. You must be able to not only the measurements accurately but also line up the cuts seamlessly. If you have done a good amount of other DIY projects, you may be able to take this on if you feel confident in your skills. Otherwise it would be best to get a pro on this job.

 15.            Replacing a Door - Hire a pro

If you are simply replacing one door with another door that is exactly the same, then you should be fine doing this yourself.  However, adding a new door as a major overhaul can be a big project. For example, if you are looking to add a new door to brighten up a space (like turning two windows into an opening for beautiful French or sliding glass doors) or to cut down on heating and cooling costs, then you want to be sure that the job is done right.

 16.            Fixing a Sticking Window - Hire a pro

This may seem like a fairly innocuous task, but it can become labor intensive and complicated quite quickly depending on the reason why the window it stuck in the first place. Sometimes it can be caused by a buildup of dirt and debris in the window casing. Other times it can be due to problems in the foundation of the home shifting and therefore causing windows to lose alignment and get stuck. Or it can be something as simple as forgetting to let the paint dry during the last DIY project and closing the window before it completely dries, thus causing the window to glue closed. If you live in a high humidity area, this can also cause doors and windows to swell and bind them in the jamb. Since there are so many causes for a sticking window, in order to fix a stuck window often involves removing the window which could require using a belt sander or planer. If you’re not super experienced at home repairs or home renovations and do not have the know-how to safely use the tools required, it’s best to let the pros handle this task.

For novice homeowners, the answer to this inquiry might be asserted on their previous life as occupants, where structure supervisors looked after big and also little repairs for lessees.

Realtors typically recommend their clients to check out the guarantee meticulously, after that call the homebuilder in covering the trouble, and also enable a practical quantity of time for it to be treated before going after lawful alternatives.

No matter of their utmost resolution, the expense of these insurance claims-- in both time as well as money-- can be considerable, as learning the costs and also culling out regular upkeep concerns is a tiresome process.

Freshwater MyAquariumBox Review + Unboxing!

review + unboxing under the cut

My box shipped on the 10th and arrived on the 12th. The company estimates 2-day shipping so it arrived right on schedule! The box was a little roughed up but no items were damaged :) The box was smaller than I thought it would be, but there were also way more items than i expected to receive as well! I also emailed the company with a question concerning their services and I received an email reply the same day! :D Off to a great start here y’all~

Here’s a look at all the items that were included in the June 2017 box! I expected 5-6 items, but received 12 items + kits :D It also came with a cute little MyAquariumBox sticker :3 (Items vary and no two monthly boxes are the same, so your box might have more or less items)

Each box comes with a “score card” that lists the full-size products included, and their cost. I received more items than were listed, but the ‘extra items’ I received in the box were sample- or trial-sized products :p

Each box also has a Small Business Spotlight! This month’s was Green Oasis Farms :) A Coupon for yourfishstuff.com was also included.

Item: x4 Cholla wood MAB Cost:7.99 My Cost: 4-20 (6″x1″ thick, etsy)-(6″x2″ thick, theshrimptank)

In all honesty, I was hoping for malaysian or another type of driftwood. I think they include driftwood every month, but I’m not 100% sure, so don’t quote me on that. I’m not really a fan of the way cholla wood looks (I’ll probably be in love with it by next week tho lol), but for the size and quantity of this wood, I can’t really complain! 4 pieces, each 6-8″ long and 1.5-2″ in diameter :O These will be great for my shrimp tank and they’re really easy to tie moss, java fern, anubias, etc. to! :D They’re also in need of a good washing, but what wood isn’t?

Item: MAB Measuring Spoons MAB Cost: 6.99 My Cost: 1-7 (any dollar store) - (amazon, I found a set that was a similar shape and plastic, but the set also included a 5th spoon)

This is probably one of my favorite items from the box! I actually saw this item in another box, and I thought they were super cute, so I’m really glad I got some! :D They’re measuring spoons and I’m sure I’ll be making good use of them when I make the DIY fish food that was also included in this box. These are really handy dandy for dosing dry ferts, portioning medicines, allotting fish food, and making DIY food like snello! :D

This is a product that I’m not familiar with. It looks like a sample or trial-size bottle. It’s called “Nualgi Aquarium” and it claims to “improve water clarity [and] promotes fish & plant health”. There’s no list of ingredients so I’m not going to just run over and dump this in my tanks. On the back of the bottle it lists the dosing directions, and then gives a website link as well: “nualgiaquarium.com/Instructions” and also a link “For Aquarium Tips: facebook.com/nualgiaquarium”. I’ll have to do some more digging into this product before deciding whether or not to use it.

Item: Brightwell Aquatics Florin Multi MAB Cost: 6.99 My Cost: 3.79 + shipping (FishTanksDirect)

I’m really excited about this product!! I’ve only tried Seachem Flourish and this bottle is 125mL so it’s not tiny/trial size :p It “includes .001% iodine to enable crutaceans (such as shrimp) to molt and grow” but it also has .00003% copper sulfate. I know that copper isn’t safe for shrimp, but that’s such a small amount so I’m not sure if this product is shrimp-safe or not :O I’ll have to look into that more since I was beginning to look for a shrimp-safe fertilizer anyways! (If anyone has a shrimp-safe fertilizer to suggest, please do so!) I’m definitely going to try this out on the tanks with swords though! I’m sure they could use the extra iron :p

Item:Zoomed Plankton Banquet Feeder Block MAB Price: 3.99 My Price: 3.57 (amazon)

This is the only product I’m not excited about. I really don’t like these feeder blocks and I don’t ever recommend using them. They make the water cloudy and dirty and I don’t really know what I’m gonna do with this .-. Actually, I wonder if I could grind this up into a powder and include it in the a DIY fod recipe? I’ll have to go back and look at the ingredients and such...hoping I can find another use for this since I hate to waste things~

Item: OmegaOne Kelp Pellets MAB Cost: 8.99 My Cost: 8.98 (Amazon)

There was a ton of different foods in this box and I’m really happy with the variety! It means that I can vary my fish’s and inverts’ diet more and that’s fantastic :p This bottle was a good size, about the size of a 6 oz cup, but the net wt. of the container is 4.2oz. I only keep bettas right now but this might be something for my snails or (future) shrimp to try :p

I’ve been seeing and hearing about the release of this new food and I thought It’d be great for bettas since the main ingredients are insects! I’m pretty stoked about it and can’t wait to see how my bettas like this :D It’s a “sample packet”, I assume, since there’s no way to re-seal the package, but its a pretty good size and will last a while :p Since the granules feel larger and the package says “for medium to large fish” I’ll probably have to break up the pellets but that’s okay, it’ll just last longer :3

Item: San Francisco Bay Brand Brine Shrimp Eggs MAB Price: 6.99 My Price: 3.99 + shipping (Dsfostersmith)

I’ve never used, fed, or hatched baby brine shrimp before, so this will be a fun little experiment for me :p If I’m able to hatch them out, I’m sure my bettas will enjoy the live food! :D

Item: Dr Tim’s Bene-FISH-al DIY Fish Food MAB Cost: 9.99 My Cost: 9.99 (Drfostersmith) (the full-size, commercially-available kit comes with 2x base pouches, 2x stirring sticks, 1x large silicone tray for 19.99; this 1/2 size kit doesn’t seem to be commercially available)

Alright, last product! This is probably my favorite item out of the whole box! It’s a DIY fish food kit :D

Here’s everything that came in this kit :) A pack of powdered fish food base, some seaweek flakes (I think), a mixing stick, a recipe card, and the mold! The mold also has a lid :p The pamphlet also has more info/instructions on the back. I’m most excited for this product since I’ve been seeing some pretty cool DIY fish food recipes! I really wanna try my hand at making snello and it’ll be nice to already have some supplies :DD

Overall: I paid $25 for this box + free shipping. I got tons of awesome USEFUL products and some good samples too! Honestly, buying supplies really helps me itch that “I ‘need’ new fish” itch and there are tons of fun things to play with in this box!!! It’ll definitely hold me over for a while ;p I was pleasantly surprised at the value I got with this box too! I got more than I expected to, and when I compared the MAB’s score card prices to prices from other online sources, they came pretty close so nothing seemed to be intentionally marked-up to make me think I’m getting more value than I really am. A box full of honest, useful aquarium products; I couldn’t ask for more! :p I’ll try to post about the specific products in the box when I use them (or when I decide against using them) :)

If you’ve ordered a MyAquariumBox before, or do in the future, let us (or at least me ;p) know! :D I’d love to know what y’all think about the box, the products, or any experiences y’all have had with the company :)

Cutie Reviews: Tokyo Treat Jan 19

“We said burr, it’s cold in here and there’s some delicious snacks in the atmosphere! We got our cheer set to celebrate the upcoming New Year and winter season. To help set the mood for the upcoming year, we decided to help spread some happiness with a fun Winter Wonderland themed snack box! Expect to find a lot of fun snacks that will keep a smile on your face as you enjoy the winter wonderland weather that is coming up. Our idea was to find snacks that will keep you feeling happy and warm on the inside no matter if you are cuddling up indoors or are out enjoying the brisk weather!“

Parade Milkshake & Nerunerune DIY

As usual, I will be covering the DIY in a separate post; but for anyone unfamiliar, Nerunerune is one of the most popular and well-loved DIY candy kits one can find online or in Japan. It has come in many variations and has evolved over the years, and in this box we could get one of the most simpler kits they have released, featuring a fluffy whip-like candy fluff with candies.

Our main feature in this pic is the drink, the Parade Milkshake. This drink contains egg and milk, and is meant to emulate an actual milkshake, but with a thin milk consistency. Each can is only 47kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

Because it’s been in the fridge, the can has been extremely cold- it’s perfect for summer! The flavor sort of makes me think of winter (and pudding, and McDonalds ice cream)... but at the same time, I think it would have been “too chilly“ to really enjoy during winter. Unless you enjoy being cold, which I do.

It tastes really good, I was kind of surprised because I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I’m pretty sure I mentioned this before, but lately I haven’t been into pudding due to an “incident“ where I got sick for a week, and I’m not into milk either; but I really liked this. It didn’t bother my “milk sensitivity“ either.

Cotton Candy

This is probably the one item in the box that actually did give me “winter vibes“. You get that too right? But it also fits summer too since you see it a lot during summer at fairs and festivals.

Anyway, we have some kawaii cotton candy as our next item :3 Now, according to the package it did expire back in April, but it seemed fine. This bag of cotton candy is 46kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

I LOVE cotton candy~ But I’m pretty partial, I prefer it have some flavor other than just sugar. That and it’s white color just made me feel bored. Another hindrance is that like any other cotton candy, once opened it begins to harden to the point of being inedible- so you need to keep it closed up tight.

Meanwhile, the package is absolutely adorable~

Custard Chocolate Bar & Balanced Nutrition Chocolate Brownie Bar

Anyone whose been a reader of this blog will probably recognize both of these items/brands. But lets remain optimistic :P

Our first item is a Gudetama themed chocolate bar featuring a chocolate and custard flavoring. The bar consists of two tin wafers with layers of chocolate cream between them, a white layer on the top wafer, followed by the custard layer, giving the chocolate. Each bar is 115kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I’ve been pretty tired of these since they always seem to be the same to me, but I didn’t really mind this one very much. It was actually pretty good, but that might have just been because the regular chocolate flavor overwhelmed the entire thing.

Our next item is the Kinosei (health snack) of the month, a chocolate brownie bar from Glico. This nutritional bar is packed with various vitamins and minerals to keep one feeling energized throughout the day. 

Each bar is 98kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥

It was okay, nothing too special to me. It did remind me a lot of a brownie, but had an off-putting after taste I wasn’t very fond of. I also can’t guarantee the whole “energizing“ thing works since I ate it in pieces and I finished it now, half-asleep.

Lucky Taiyaki Snack & Giant Chocolate Bar

If you didn’t realize it yet, this box was filled with chocolate. Not necessarily a bad move or anything- but (as much as I dislike it) maybe they should have done white chocolate to fit the season more?

Our next item is a Taiyaki, which again you’ve probably seen on this blog numerous times. For anyone unfamiliar, taiyaki is a fish-shaped cookie or pancake-like dough snack filled with chocolate, fruit, cream, or red beans. These specific snack ones are filled with airy, bubbled chocolate to give it a very light and crispy texture that melts in your mouth.

The brand who made this one is Meito, and each fish is 88kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

I love eating these, it’s a 10 out of 10 delicious would recommend snack. It has a light sweetness to it and the chocolate taste lingers in your mouth for a little while after eating.

Our next item is this very impressively size chocolate “puff bar“. It contains peanuts and is coated in both them and chocolate, so it’s not a snack for anyone with peanut allergies- I hate peanuts so I wasn’t too sure how I would feel about it personally.

The entire bar is 162kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥

It’s actually not terrible. I love the crispiness and the chocolate is there, but it has a strong bitterness that I suspect might be peanut, and I can’t say I like it too much- but it’s not bad? But eating a segment of it was enough for me, and I found myself giving it to someone else.

Strawberry Tiramisu Kit Kats & Crunchy Panda Cookies

At this point we are now reaching the last of the chocolate products for this box. First up we have another party pack bag of Panda Cookies :3 I love these, they’re super-cute and they taste good. For anyone who may not recognize these, these are chocolate molded into various panda expressions (70 in total!), with a “panda-esque“ cookie behind the chocolate, giving it a crunchy and sweet taste. 

These are by Kabaya and are pretty common to find online. They even have DIY kits (which I did try before, it was pretty fun). The party bag consists of 6 packs, each featured various designs, puzzles, or comics. They also support protecting panda bears from endangerment.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

I’d like to say I was biased because I love panda bears, but they do taste really good too. You get crunchiness from the cookie, and the chocolate tastes like both milk and white chocolate. Again I’d recommend these.

Our other item (also a party bag) is the special strawberry tiramisu kit kat. This flavor is special as the #1 voted Want To Try Flavor worldwide to celebrate kit kats 45th anniversary.

Each pack is 64kcal, and features the sweet and sour flavors of a strawberry with a light, smooth coffee mixed in.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

First of all I’d like to say that as “charming“ as its meant to be, I kinda find the art on this pack to be repulsive. I don’t know why, it just looks so weird and goofy to me. I wish they had gone for something more... food-ish, to bring out the appeal of the flavors.

It looks like a white chocolate, but it tastes strongly of strawberries, so I love the flavor. But you just barely get the “smooth coffee“ flavor it describes, so I wouldn’t call it 100% accurate.

Savory Wheat Crackers & Cheese Umaibo

Now, onto the savories; there was surprisingly a handful of them. I say surprisingly because this is the second month in a row where the box had a balance of sweet and savory (not counting the drink or DIY), I really wish they kept this trend up.

Anyway, we have a pack of 2 wheat “crackers“, featuring salt and natural oils from Okinawa to give them a savory salt taste. The “Snack Menu” in the pamphlet says the bunny’s image plays a part in their “winter” theme. But to me the flowers automatically give me summer vibes. Again.

What makes this snack concerning is that for just 2 of these, it’s 405kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ 

I’ve never been huge on wheat, but I grew up on it whenever I was at my grandmas so I got used to it. But these don’t even taste like wheat. They’re crunchy and salty, and kind of remind me a bit of a cone.

I like these, but the huge calorie count is a big turn-off. Only because I think for such a high count, you’re better off eating something filling; these aren’t enough to get someone through the day until their next meal, unless they eat really small portions normally.

The next item I won’t be reviewing because I’ve gotten it several times, and have reviewed it several times. I’ll make this short :P I’ve never been a big fan of the cheese umaibo, but I find the more I eat it the better it tastes oddly enough. It didn’t exactly taste like cheese to me when I tried it, but now I can say it actually does.

Salty Seaweed Puffs & Shrimp Sticks

The coloring for these two items actually look very different in person. First will be the Seaweed Puffs, made from salt and rice with a sprinkling of seaweed flakes to blend the flavors together.

Rating: ♥ ♥

The flavor is pretty light, I can’t say the salt taste is stronger than that in the wheat crackers. I was kind of disappointed that the seaweed flavor was really light too. They’re not bad though, the texture is pretty nice, but they are already kind of stale and it makes their appeal even... lesser.

Our other item is the share pack Shrimp Sticks by Calbee. These we’ve gotten before so I don’t think I’ll be rating them again; but I will say that each bag is 31kcal, and because of their small size you get a decent amount of them per-serving. I actually like these because the fishy taste is light, and I enjoy the crispy texture.

Black Pepper Chips

Our final item are these pepper-flavored chips by Koikeya, a popular chip brand known for coming up with some unique flavors. We’ve seen it a few times in Tokyo Treat, but this is a new flavor to grace our presence.

Each bag is 283kcal.

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Seeing these, I was very excited to try them because when I was younger, I loved eating pepper chips (or salt and pepper chips, I don’t remember), and I really like pepper sauce, which the scent of these strongly reminded me of.

While they smell of pepper, they taste strongly of it too :D and instantly kick in the spice as you eat them. Strangely, I get a “jerky“ taste too from these, but I love jerky so I’m not complaining at all. The chips are crunchy and delicious~

♥ Cutie Ranking ♥

Content - 4.5 out of 5. There was only one item I wasn’t very fond of, but I didn’t find it unbearable and could tolerate eating it. The drink was good, I love the DIY kit we got and am excited to make it next. There was some repetition in this box though...

Theme - 2 out of 5. I’m probably giving it pity points honestly, I feel bad in saying this but I can barely see the theme they were going for. A lot of it oddly gave me summer vibes- but it’s entirely possible that I’m feeling it because it is summer now...

Total Rank: 7 out of 10. The items were tasty but there wasn’t too much special about the box because I was used to so much of it already, I also kind of wished they had toned down the chocolate or given us something fruity- besides the DIY. I also failed to see the theme, which I feel a bit disappointed about. I’m really hoping next months box isn’t too chocolate oriented (and again I am a chocolate addict, so that’s really saying something), but considering its the Valentines Day box...

♥ Cutie’s Scale of Yummy ♥

1. Pepper Chips - they smelled delicious and tasted even better! Extremely would recommend!

2. Strawberry Tiramisu kit kats - It might not contain both flavors described (at least to me) but I LOVE the strong, overwhelming strawberry taste~

3. Cheese Umaibo - Every time I eat this, I end up liking it more than last time. The first time I tried it I didn’t like it at all, and now I kind of enjoy it :P if you’re like me I’d suggest giving it a few tries and see if your opinion changes like mine did.

4. Panda Cookies - As much as I like these... a small part of me is kind of tired of them. Granted it has been some time since I last had them, but...

5. Taiyaki Snack - I love the crispy texture mixed with the melty chocolate~

6. Milkshake Drink - Going in, I wasn’t sure what to expect other than some kind of malty drink; but it wasn’t like that at all. It had a really strong vanilla-pudding-ice cream taste

7. Cotton Candy - I really like cotton candy but I’m not into the plain sugar variant. I prefer flavor. 

8. Gudetama Bar - Oddly the flavor was pretty good this time, usually I’m not too crazy about these bars. Maybe it’s growing on me.

9. Wheat Crackers - I liked these more than I thought I would, but they were still kind of boring in comparison to everything else.

10. Shrimp Sticks - I’m not huge on seafood (unless it’s sushi) but these are pretty good. As much as I complain about light flavors, I think here it works for the snack.

11. Brownie Bar - It was okay, I didn’t really have too much of an opinion...

12. Seaweed Puffs -  I was really disappointed these didn’t have a stronger flavor.

13. Chocolate Puff Bar - It wasn’t bad, but as I said, I’m not big on peanuts and I really didn’t find myself wanting more after a few bites.

Have you been looking for DIY projects to decorate your home on a budget? Well, do I have some easy projects for you to try!!

These are those wonderful clipboards upcycled. You can paint 3/4 of the board with chalkboard paint, leaving a space on the bottom to add paint or washi tape. Or you can simply wrap with contact paper.

You can dress up your table with tie-dyed Burlap.Buy enough light-colored burlap yardage from the fabrics store so it hangs 1-2 feet off the ends of your table. Cut it lengthwise so it’s several inches narrower than the width of your table. We used RIT fabric dye in fuschia to dye one-third of the runner at each end. To create a slight ombre effect, we repeated the dye bath on one-sixth of the runner on each end to darken the color. Finish the runner by fringing the edges, if desired.

You can update a $1 store vase with acrylic paint.  Hold the vase in your hands and tip it in different directions so the paint rolls around inside, creating a wave of color. Leave some of the vase clear. You can make these tissue paper flowers, twist then wrap the end of the flower with some wire. Cover the wire heavily at the top, then thinly the rest with green floral tape.

Use old t-shirts to update a plain pillow. You can also use jersey fabric. Either material is perfect for this project because they don’t unravel, so you won’t have to finish the edges. Cut fabric 1 to 1-1/2 inches wide. Use your fingers to scrunch the fabric into ruffles as you stitch down the middle with a sewing machine.

See more DIY pillow projects

Prevent water rings and add a style all at the same time with DIY cork coasters. Cut 4×4-inch squares from thin cork. You can find the cork at your local craft store. Cut a simple herringbone pattern from stencil acetate. Press the stencil onto a cork square and apply acrylic paint.

Create a whimsical mobile with lace and embroidery hoops. Stretch lace fabric in wood embroidery hoops. Trim excess lace. For a clean-lined look, drill two holes on either side of the embroidery hoop fastener and screw the two pieces of the hoop together, then pry off the original hardware. Hang from white cording and position at alternating levels.

All you need to create this funky string art is string, nails, and a board. Map out your design and hammer the nails into the board (don’t pound the nails in completely). Wrap string around the nailheads for the design. If you’re spelling a word, print out the letters and cut them out. Arrange the letters on the board and hammer a nail into each corner of the letters. Wrap string around the outlines of the letters first, then fill in the letters with woven designs.

Outside I was playing with Garden Decor when I came up with these:

I love the light I made to hang in the Pergola https://kelleysdiy.com/2017/07/05/chandelier/. These Gazing Ball Stakes  https://kelleysdiy.com/2017/04/08/gazing-ball-stakes-3/

Some of the best Crafts I have done, I think, are the ones I made with paint sticks. I did this wonderful post about some of the wonderful projects you can make,  using paint sticks. You can find it here:  https://kelleysdiy.com/2016/10/18/paint-stick-crafts/

I started by making this Rug Rag. You can see tutorial here:  https://kelleysdiy.com/2017/02/01/rag-rug/ug/

Make labels from hardware store wood shims and institute order. They are so inexpensive! Cut a few shims to the desired size by either scoring with a crafts knife and snapping, or trimming with a rotary cutter. Sand each corner to round, and drill a hole in the middle of the thick end, about 1/2 inch from the edge. Use a small foam brush to paint the front and back of each tag with chalkboard paint. Let dry and write or stencil on labels with white charcoal pencil or chalk. Tie onto a bin or basket with a length of baker’s twine.

This is such a pretty idea for spring! Put your best foot forward with a unique flower vase. Arrange your flowers in a regular vase (make sure it will fit inside the boot first). Then simply tuck the vase inside the boot — the more colorful, the better!

Rescue glass jars bound for the recycling bin for this upcycled project. Clean out the jars, poke a hole in the top of the lid, and screw a cabinet knob through the hole. We paired gold knobs with gold lids, but you can also paint the lids to match your hardware. Don’t you just love the metallic gold!

This one is easy. Create shelves with panache using birch logs as supports. Trim sturdy branches to equal lengths, keeping the cuts straight. Paint two 24-inch-long 1×6 boards in the desired color. Attach one board to the bottom of the branches using wood screws, and attach the second board to the top of the branches, again, with wood screws. Hang the shelves using picture-hanging hooks driven into wall studs.

Give a plain roller shade color and punch with a painted pattern. Using a ruler and T-square. Mask off straight stripes with blue painter’s tape. Apply latex paints in your desired colors using a foam roller. Let paint set, peel off the tape, and let the paint dry completely.

Give a mod twist to a wrought-iron chandelier with a string of wooden balls. Select several different-size balls from the woodworking aisle at the crafts store. Screw small metal eye hooks into opposite ends of each ball. Link the eye hooks to chain the balls together, then drape from the chandelier. DIY Tip: Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to grasp and twist the tiny eye hooks.

Put your touch on off-the-shelf furniture by transferring any favorite image — a photograph, a bit of a painting, or even a fabric pattern — to the plain surface. Scan the image into the computer and print it on transfer paper, which you can buy online and from office supply and crafts stores (about $20 for a package of ten 8×10-inch sheets). Follow the package instructions to transfer the image. These bentwood chairs have the perfect smooth surface for such a project.

If you are a budding artist, hand paint your own design!

For virtually no cost at all, you can mold an attractive centerpiece. Employ the simple technique of paper-mache, which involves dipping strips of paper into a solution of equal parts white glue and water. Turn over a mixing bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Tear strips of paper: book pages, magazines, sheet music, wrapping paper, or wallpaper will work. Here, the artistic look comes from copies of blueprints placed facedown with a layer of patterned scrapbook paper laid right side up. Apply at least three layers of paper to develop a sturdy vessel; let dry. Remove plastic wrap and bowl, and, if necessary, smooth any rough edges with fine-grit sandpaper.

Now, I am pretty sure all of you have seen this inexpensive idea.

Dress your windows quickly and smartly with tea towels turned into cafe curtains. Simply clip drapery rings to the top edges of the towels, and thread the rings onto a curtain rod. You’ll want the curtains to hang down to the windowsill, so mount the rod accordingly. If you have a double-hung window, position the rod so the top edge of the curtain lines up with the sash.

DIY Tip: If necessary, trim the towels to length and hem using a sewing machine — or iron on fusible webbing for a no-sew option.

Create a chic, mid century pendant fixture using just string and a balloon. Purchase a 35-inch balloon from a party goods store, or if you can find it at the Dollar Tree, and blow it up to about 30 inches. Brush it with a thick coat of fabric stiffener, which you can find at fabrics and crafts stores. Wrap the balloon with white crochet string, brushing on more stiffener as you work to ensure a thick coating. Let dry for 24 hours, then pop the balloon.

DIY Steps: Illuminate the shade using an inexpensive light kit for hanging lanterns. First, tie a knot in the cord about 7 inches from the bulb. Thread the plug end through a slit in the center of a plastic butter-tub lid. Using kitchen shears, cut a hole in the top of the globe slightly smaller in diameter than the butter-tub lid. Insert the bulb and lid in the globe. Hang the cord from a hook in the ceiling. Use a low-watt light bulb.

Tin Art

For this project you can get together all your old serving plates, etc and create a beautiful reflective wall. Dollar Tree, you can pick up beautiful serving plates and dishes in a bright silver that look expensive, but only $1.

So, did I get your creative juices flowing? Most of these are so inexpensive to make, and a lot of the items can be found at your Dollar Tree Store.

Have fun creating! If I inspired you to make your own home decoration, please send me a pic to  kelleysdiy@gmail.com

Thank you so much for looking!

New Year, New Laundry Room https://thd.co/2FydZcV

Erin Marshall of Live Pretty on a Penny gives her laundry room a 2019 makeover. Incorporating her design sense with the small space needs, Erin designed a space that is functional and chic at the same time.

New Year, New Laundry Room Makeover

One of the most neglected areas of my home has been my laundry room. I never liked doing laundry, so it has mainly been the area of my that serves as a drop and go. The storage was not adequate, and I really never liked that the only shelving that we had in the space was a long wire one, that allowed everything that we use in the space to be visible. Additionally, with the older machines, the lack of efficiency was evident in utility bills. With this setup, it didn’t allow the space to be very functional, which in turn did not make coming into this space visually appealing. For 2019, a new laundry room was definitely in order.

We decided that for the new year, this space had to take on a new face with new machines, paint, storage, and a few simple décor items to make it feel just as important as any room in our home. As a catalyst for this space, we visited the Home Depot online and began shopping for new, more efficient machines. We ended up going with the Whirlpool High Efficiency Stackable

Front Load Washing Machine with LOAD & GO in Chrome Shadow and the Whirlpool Electric Vented Dryer with Advanced Moisture Sensing with the Whirlpool stacking kit. We decided to

stack our machines this time around because the room is so small, and we knew it would grant us more space.

What appealed to me about these machines was the dark and modern graphite gray color. I knew it would immediately update the space.

I also love the fan fresh option on the washer, which keeps clothes smelling fresh inside of the machine, in case you can’t put them in the dryer right away (ahem, raise your hand if you are guilty like me!) The load & go feature keeps me from having to pull out a bulky detergent bottle each time I wash, as this feature allows me to load enough detergent for up to 12 loads in one

compartment, hello convenience! There is also a color last feature which allows for longer wear of our clothing without the possibility of fading in the wash. Just so many features to help make my life easier, what’s not to love!

I absolutely love that my dryer is able to evenly dry large and small loads. It also offers an advanced moisture sensing option which helps to prevent damage caused by over-drying. The steam option is also a big help, especially with my busy schedule, it helps to fight wrinkles that I normally would have to combat with ironing. The delivery of our machines was timely and the delivery men dropped them off and set up the stack kit and made sure that everything was in working order prior to leaving. Once our machines were delivered, the blank canvas was the perfect motivation to start. We painted the space, using PPG Timeless paint in Raindrop White. It’s a beautiful soft white color. We then built a “casing” for our washer and dryer to give it a built in look using Sanded Plywood and small corner brackets and added some additional storage using some recycled cabinets. We added crown molding to the ceiling to give it an even more custom built in look.

Since, I’ve always loved the look of subway tile, we installed MSI Bianco Subway Tile ourselves down the wall on side of the washer and dryer.

We then installed some DIY stained wood shelves that was cut from 1-in. x 10-in. x 6-ft. common board and installed them 5-inch metal corner brackets. We had the shelves cut into the size that we needed at our local store.

Functional storage items such as this rectangle braided rush basket, that holds items such as dryer sheets, etc, and the white gloss glass ceramic vase for clothes pins were great functional, decorative additions.

We also added a Mustee Utilatub Combo that we find useful for washing out items that we consider to be more for industrial use, like paint brushes, dumping buckets, etc. I spray painted

the legs gold for a touch of glam and customization.

We also updated the lighting. The original light was an old florescent rectangular fixture. I knew something more modern would be more fitting, so we added this Fifth and Main Versailles  Light Fixture.

So, there you have it! We are so happy with how our new laundry room turned out. While laundry is still not my favorite thing to do, being in a space this pretty and functional makes it a whole lot easier.

Plus, with a little time, and elbow grease, we gave ourselves a space to love on for years to come!

January Home Maintenance and Safety Checklist

Now that the holidays are over, you might be left thinking, “Now what?”

Aside from the obvious–retiring the light-up reindeer and salting your sidewalk to avoid unintentional triple axels–January is perfect for a little pre-spring cleaning and careful inspection of your home’s structure and systems.

To help simplify the process, we created a January Home Maintenance Checklist. It will guide you through preventive maintenance tasks to make your home a safer, healthier place for you and your family in the new year.

January Room-by-Room Home Maintenance Checklist

1. Kitchen

2. Bedrooms and Living Areas

3. Attics and Basements

4. Bathrooms

5. Hallways

6. Outside

1. Kitchen

If you’ve been hosting holiday events, your kitchen has logged some overtime. Maybe it’s time to give it (and yourself) a break and order some takeout.

Before you cozy up on the couch, clean these parts of your kitchen so it’s fresh and well-functioning when you decide to pick up a spatula again.

Check Your Range Hood Filter

Now that the busy season is over for your kitchen, it’s a good time to clean your range-hood filter in boiling water and baking soda. This not only rids your filter of ickiness—it helps keep your kitchen air pure. If the grease is too stubborn to clean, opt for a new filter instead.

Clean Your Cooling Coils

Refrigerator coils are dust bunny magnets. Boost your fridge’s energy efficiency by vacuuming the coils regularly.

Pro Tip: You can use a flexible vent cleaning brush for cleaning both your refrigerator coils and your dryer vent.

2. Bedrooms and Living Areas

Now that the holidays are over, your bedroom and shared spaces deserve some TLC. Time to make your environment conducive to all the ambitious New Year’s resolutions you may or may not achieve.

Declutter Closets

If that blue sweater got eaten by the dog, how would you feel? If you wouldn’t be devastated, then let it go. Start off your new year with some breathing room by dropping the dead weight of unused items.

Check Batteries

Winter storms can bring power outages, so it’s a good idea to check batteries and bulbs in flashlights and weather radios and restock your battery supply.

Create a Home Inventory

Make a list of the items you’d want your insurance company to know about if, heaven forbid, you lost your home in a fire or flood. Don’t forget to add any big-ticket items you got over the holidays.

Update Home Files

Gather up all those instruction manuals and warranties and slip them into a single file. But first, check if the instruction manuals are available online—you may be able to chuck the physical copy. While you’re organizing, start a file for all the income tax paperwork you’re getting in the mail.

3. Attics and Basements

Inspect Pipes

Hopefully you’ve already bundled up your water pipes with pipe insulation, but it’s still a good idea to check them for cracks and fractures throughout the winter. Catching the warning signs of a leak before it happens can save you from costly water damage.

Pack Away Decorations

You’ll thank yourself next year if you take the time to coil your lights carefully and pack ornaments securely so nothing gets broken.

Pro Tip: For an easy DIY ornament storage system, cut a piece of cardboard so it can lie flat in the bottom of a plastic tub. Glue plastic cups to the cardboard and place ornaments inside and around each cup. Place a second layer of cardboard and plastic cups on top of the first for another layer of storage.

Clean Filters and Vents

If you didn’t change your furnace filter as part of your December Home Maintenance Checklist, now is the time. Clear debris from your dryer vents and other air vents so you can breathe easy.

Inspect House Structure

While you’re poking around in your attic and basement, grab a flashlight and inspect exposed beams, foundations, and your chimney for cracks, leaks, mold, and damage from pests.

Add Insulation

If your attic insulation is less than 12″ deep, it’s time to contact a professional to add more. Keeping your home well-insulated can lower your energy bills.

4. Bathrooms

Your bathrooms need some love this month too—make sure to replenish medical supplies and ward off water damage.

Replenish Medical Supplies

Add more bandages, burn cream, and antiseptic to your first aid kit to make up for all the holiday injuries you doctored in December. Keep plenty of cold and cough medicine and vitamin C on hand to prep for flu season.

Run Water in Unused Spaces

It’s a good idea to flush toilets and run water in unused bathrooms to prevent frozen pipes and hard water stains. Clean your water softener to keep it in good working order.

Check for Mold

When it’s chilly outside, we don’t usually use bathroom windows to vent steam, and that can lead to moisture buildup. Check for mold and make sure your bathroom vent fans are working correctly.

5. Hallways

Don’t forget the hallways. Your hallway to-do list for January won’t take long to execute, and it will thoroughly prepare you for emergencies.

Test Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

Ensure that these life-saving devices are functional, and change batteries if necessary.

Review Your Emergency Plan

Make sure your family knows what the alarms on the smoke detectors sound like and what to do in case of a fire. Practice!

Check Fire Extinguishers

Speaking of fires, confirm that your emergency fire extinguishers are still charged. If the needle on the pressure gauge is in the green, you’re all set. Otherwise, get it recharged.

6. Outside

Last but not least, check off these January to-dos for the outside of your home. These tasks protect your home exterior so you can feel safe inside.

Clear Your Gutters

Clear gutters of leaves, debris, ice dams, and icicles to prevent damage to your roof and siding. Use a roof rake to clean snow off your roof and trees.

Replace Light Bulbs

During this dark time of year, it’s important to have working outdoor lights for your safety and home security. Replace any burnt-out bulbs.

Start Researching Security Cameras

Smart homeowners start planning ahead for the summer burglary season by researching home security systems and surveillance cameras during the winter. SafeWise’s Best Outdoor Security Cameras can help you choose the best camera for your home.

Make a Spring Task List

Got cabin fever? Make the most of your indoor time and start a running list of things to do when the temperature gets over fifty degrees.

FAQs

What if I haven’t yet completed any cold weather preventive home maintenance?

There are a few basic maintenance tasks you should do right away. Drain the water from your garden hose and turn off your outdoor faucets to prevent damage from water freezing inside. It’s also a good idea to close your storm windows, clean debris from window wells, and caulk any cracks in exterior doors and windows.

What should I look for in a security system?

Decide if you want a DIY or professionally installed system. Determine the number of detectors you’ll need for windows and doors (don’t forget your garage door) and whether or not you’ll want to monitor additional devices like carbon monoxide sensors and smoke detectors.

Can a security system monitor a water leak sensor?

Yes. Many security companies offer water leak detectors that you can put near appliances with water hoses, like your water heater or washer. Your system will monitor the detectors in the same way it would monitor a smoke or carbon monoxide detector. You can also buy stand-alone water leak sensors with loud alarms or smartphone notifications.

Gruesome Human Candy Teeth +Tutorial For Making Silicon Molds!

Making delicious marzipan human teeth or molars for a quirky Halloween snack is a fun, rewarding project. In today's post I show you how to make your very own silicon mold to cast your own teeth so they are easy to shape. Then we paint and glaze them to look as realistic as possible!

A friend tagged me on some edible teeth on Instagram and ever since then I had them in my mind to make. But shaping teeth can be hard so I online to try and buy a mold. Unfortunately the tooth mold that I purchased was a giant tooth (I get confused easily with measurements it seems) with a smiling face on it and it was entirely unsuitable for my gruesome purposes. The woman at a cake decorating shop suggested that I try my hand at using Pinkysil, a DIY silicon mold making kit which is easy to use.

It's the time of the year when my parents get inundated with a range of weird requests eg. Could I store my voodoo dolls in your freezer? Or in the case this past week I asked my mother, could you ask your dentist for human molars?

My parents no longer flinch or ask questions-it has happened so much over the last 10 years and to my surprise within a couple of days they gave me a bag of sterilised human teeth. They were perfect. I bought the Pinkysil from Barnes in Newtown and the friendly lady at the store went through it with me. I needed to make a 2 parter silicon mold.

I'm not amazing at arts and crafts, in fact I'm pretty bad at them but I watched a lot of videos on how to cast silicon molds before I started it, so much so that I kept playing through how to make molds in my dreams and while working out. I was amazed at how easy it was (and now I have all sorts of plans to make other silicon molds!).

And then of course came my next request of my parents-a pair of pliers or dental equipment!

So tell me Dear Readers, are you good at arts and crafts? Have you ever tried making your own silicon molds? Would you snack on these little candy molars?

An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott

To make mold

1 set Pinkysil (you'll only need half of the bottles)

6 human molars

Small container to use as a larger mold

Small disposable shot glasses

Large clear disposable cups

Paddle pop sticks/tongue depressors

Vaseline

Small brushes

100g/3.5ozs. marzipan

Brown gel food colouring

Flesh tone edible powder

1 teaspoon glucose or corn syrup mixed with 1 teaspoon vodka

Step 1 - Pinkysil is not technically food safe but we are not cooking with it or heating it up or using hot food. I wouldn't recommend using it if you do need to heat it up.

Checking that the silicon is properly mixed

Step 2 - Pinkysil needs to be used in 1:1 quantities so using small, clear shot glasses helps to measure it. Separately measure around half the shot glass in both white and pink and then pour both into the larger cup. Stir well with the stick-make sure to check the corners and get all of the colour mixed up well (otherwise it won't set properly).

Step 3 - Pour into the mold (it's best to pour the Pinkysil in one place to make a thin base. Prick the air bubbles with a toothpick or sharp knife. After 10 minutes or so, place the teeth on the base and do not move them once they're in.

Placing the teeth on the base of silicone

Step 4 - Mix up some more Pinkysil, this time not quite half the shot glass. You will then be filling the mold halfway up the teeth to create the first half of your two part silicon mold. Pour around the teeth making sure to get any crevices until you have reached halfway up the tooth. Allow to set (around 20 minutes).

Pouring silicone halfway up teeth

Brushing with vaseline

Step 5 - Brush all silicon surfaces with Vaseline (silicon sticks to itself) making sure to get all the crevices and to the edge/corners but don't leave any blobs of Vaseline as the silicon will mold around that. Mix up a larger batch of Pinkysil (around the whole shot glass) and mix and then pour over the Vaseline layer. Allow to set completely. Remove it from the container and gently prise the mold apart. You may need to trim some of it with a knife or scissors. You now have your mold! Wash it well with warm, soapy water.

Step 6 - Warm up a walnut sized ball of marzipan up in your hands. I'd recommend using a good rolling marzipan (I used a brand called Blackwood Lane and it was quite dry and not great for this). Pinch off a very small amount and press it into the mold. Use a sharp paring knife to cut off any excess. By the time you've done a few you will know how much to pinch off so you press in the right amount of marzipan.

Step 7 - Join the two halves together-if your marzipan is moist then they will stick together with gentle pressure. Otherwise you can stick them together with the glucose/vodka mixture above. Repeat until you have as many teeth as you need. Allow to dry for a few hours or overnight.

Step 8 - Using a fine paintbrush, brush in some of the brown food gel in the top of the molars to look like plaque. Then take another brush and shade in some of the roots of the teeth near where they would sit in the gums.

Painting tooth decay

Step 9 - Then for the final touch, brush with the glucose/vodka solution to make them shiny. You may need to do 2 coats of this to get it to become shiny!
