European Planters
I love flowers and plants. I love everything about them; the colors, smells, the way that they look!
If I could have one luxury, it would be to have my house filled with fresh flowers regularly, but since I can’t, I have mixed European planters instead! You can use these anywhere; kitchen counters, coffee tables, dining table, everywhere and they look beautiful. The more that you have, the better and as always and with almost everything, the bigger the better! Plants can be picked up at Home depot for $2-$5 and will last for months! They are easy to make & maintain and can be made two different ways!
Option 1
*Plants have the ability to grow much larger
Container (anything that you like will do and I think bigger is better!)
Plastic for lining the container
Rocks or Gravel for drainage
Potting Soil
3, 5, or 7 House Plants (enough to make the planter really full, always in odd numbers, with various heights and varieties)
Moss to cover dirt (available at any craft store)
Directions:
Line a container with any thick plastic material.
Add rocks
Add soil
Add plants
Cover dirt with moss
Maintain plants regularly, trimming off dead leaves and lightly dusting plants. Water as directed, but do not over water.
Replace dead/dying plants as needed
Option 2
*Makes it very easy to replace plants as needed
Container (anything that you like will do and I think bigger is better!)
Plastic for lining
Plastic plant trays
Newspaper or plastic for height
3, 5, or 7 House Plants (enough to make the planter really full, always in odd numbers, with various heights and varieties)
Moss to cover dirt (available at any craft store)
Directions:
Line a container with any thick plastic material.
Add newspaper or plastic for height
Add plants with the plastic trays IN their original plastic containers, placing them in their desired location
Cover with moss filling in between each plant to keep it stabilized
Maintain plants regularly, trimming off dead leaves and lightly dusting plants. Water as directed, but do not over water.
Replace dead/dying plants as needed
Enjoy year-round!

Favorite Find:
LaVanila Natural Deodorant
I have always been a fan of natural or organic, especially with beauty products! I was not all that worried about going as all-natural as possible until I had children. After they were born, I became almost obsessive about keeping them safe and healthy.
Deodorant was especially concerning as the chemicals in deodorant, “Aluminum” to name one specifically, was known to potentially cause cancer and the last thing I wanted to do was expose my children to something harmful.
I have tried several, but this one has worked the best for me! LaVanila makes several types of deodorant, but I like the “Sport Luxe” the best. I workout often and since I am obsessive about hygiene, I couldn’t recommend this if I didn’t love it!
Available in a 1 oz (great for travel or your gym bag) or 2.2 oz sizes at Sephora, Ulta or Amazon.com
Bursting with breezy freshness, LaVANILA's invisible solid formula is infused with proprietary SmartSport technology to break down sweat molecules and deliver high performance, all-natural odor protection. Clinically tested. Dermatologist recommended.
No aluminum. No paraben. No propylene glycol. No harsh chemicals.

Never know what to do with all of those colored Easter eggs? My favorite thing is to make deviled eggs... these are so easy and quick, you can wait until the last minute to make and serve these at your Easter gathering!
Easy Deviled Eggs
Ingredients:
One dozen hard-boiled eggs
1/2-cup mayonnaise
1/4-cup mustard
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 TBSP finely chopped chives
1 tsp. paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
Using a sharp knife, half eggs.
Gently scoop yolks into a bowl.
Mash yolks with a potato masher or fork, until crumbly.
Add garlic powder and chives, use salt and pepper to taste.
Stir yolks and dry ingredients until well mixed, gently fold in mayonnaise and mustard. Stir until smooth.
Chill for 15-30 minutes.
Using a melon baller or small scoop, place one scoop in each egg white half.
For a fancier look, use a decorating bag with a tip to pipe the yolk mixture into each egg-half. (Careful, if chives are not super-fine, they will clog the tip)
When finished, sprinkle with lightly with paprika for decoration.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving.
* If eggs are small, decrease the mayonnaise and mustard slightly.
