Rambling, Halloween, and Face Washing

Its a yucky day here, I'm hoping that the rain clears up before I have to venture out. I love that its cooling down, this is one of my favorite times of the year. In the south the transition of the seasons is spastic. It can be October and a nice 70 outside then the next day it's back to 90 very frustrating. Besides all that it is finally October and all the neighbors are pulling out the Halloween decorations including me. I haven't finished yet but soon. The cooler weather just seems to bring out the best of our little neighborhood and I can't wait for the couple across the street to bring out their fire pit.


In the opposite direction, I recently found a post about cleaning your face with oil over at one good thing. At first I thought it was the most ridiculous things I'd ever heard but I kept reading about it. After looking up oil cleansing on Google, I decided to give it a try. After a week of using a mix of grape seed and tea tree oil I'm sold on the idea. I'm loving the way my face feels and I recommend looking it up and giving it a try.

Pinterest

I have this love/hate thing with pinterest. (I'm here)

I love the sharing and spreading of a lot of good ideas. I've found so many cute things and done quite a few. Pins don't always come out the way they're suppose to even though I really try, but for the most part I love the things I find on pinterest. I don't think it would even be possible to do everything on my boards but it's fun to look.

What i hate about it is coming across a seemingly innocent pin, and the blog home page has been pinned not the actual post, so I've got to search for it.If you want to pin please take the extra step to actually click and pin the post. Mislabeled pins also drive me insane! People take the time to click the pin a figure out what is really doing on.
Here's one offender that I A LOT:

 The description say to use baking soda but the picture shows washing soda. It's not a really big deal. You could use baking soda but it's more expensive and not as strong of a base as washing soda. I regress, the point is know what you are pinning people.

Another example that I see a lot is this pin:

 It say "spray paint coffee beans and use as a vase filler... lovely!" That is not what this is, these are coffee joulies. If you click the pin it takes you to a blog post talking about the joulies and I don't think the people pinning this have ever spay painted anything in their entire lives if they think these are spray painted coffee beans.


Please use pin etiquette, make sure what you're pinning and pin the to post not just the main page.

New

It's been a long time since I blogged, and I'm not really sure where this is going.
I'm Marcie and I have two boys, a husband, and a dog.
I live in the south east United States, I've never been far from it.
I like pretty things, trying things, and making things.
I'm not a good cook, but sometimes I can bake.


See, I'm not that exciting. Hopefully I'll get some kind of grip on this blogging thing.
