With the price of paint costing more and more every year, you don’t want to waste money buying too much paint. But nobody likes to run out with only a half a wall to go, either.  So it’s important to save time and money by buying the right amount. 

Here’s a simple way to calculate how many gallons of paint to buy.

Now that you’ve made your homemade Egg Beaters, what do you do with all those leftover egg yolks? Homemade facial masks and shampoo is one solution. Another is your own tempera paint (remember that from grade school?)

The mask and shampoo couldn’t be easier. Only fresh egg yolks are required. And we love the way we’re saving money too!

I love color. I love wearing it…slathering the walls of my home with it…surrounding myself with it. You could definitely say I’m not afraid of it. But even though I love color so much, my house is decorated with only 3 main colors-creams, rusts, and greens. That’s it…just 3 colors. Maybe there are different variations on these, but basically, that’s it.
