The other day I was shopping around at one of our local Dollar Tree stores when I came across this Duncan Hines sweet treat!

Just add 3 tablespoons of water and microwave for one minute without the lid on the cup. Let sit in the microwave for another minute - add the sprinkles! ...

YOU WILL NEED:

One small jar, blue food coloring, 1 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup cold pressed coconut oil (refined), 5-7 drops of pure essential lavender oil.

In a bowl add the sugar, food coloring, coconut oil, lavender oil and mix well. Pour into the jar and  DONE!

Mermaid Altar Oil

4 drops Eucalyptus essential oil

3 drops Lavender essential oil

2 drops Lemongrass essential oil

3 drops Frankincense essential oil

Greetings, mermaid lovers! I am currently working on my Mermaid altar which I plan to use this spring and summer. While looking around for some ideas using a couple of my books on the subject, I came across some recipes for altar oils, This one smells wonderful! Now, if you are planning to use these oils on your skin for any reason, you will need to add a base oil as well such as olive oil. 

Did someone say mermaid fairies?

One of my good friends whom I had met while I worked at my last employer of 14 years introduced me to a fabulous new site called Victorian Trading Company. She purchases some gorgeous cameo pins from them and brought me one of her mail catalogs into work for me to look through. All I can say is ... OMG! LOVE IT!!

They offer a large variety of items, but they are a tad expensive which is why I will not be ordering their merchandise too often. I did; however, recently buy this beautiful mermaid fairy necklace and earring set on sale ... mainly because these are so hard to find anywhere ...

Love the clasp

Of course, there is still the very cool things you can find much cheaper, less expensive on sites such as WISH and Tophatter. This mermaid necklace is one of my favorites to wear out and goes with almost anything really ...

I have had soo many compliments on this mermaid crescent moon with heart piece it always amuses me! Ever notice how people seem to compliment you on the stuff you have either had forever or something you spent very little on? LOL!!
