Duct Tape Project!!!

This morning I had 5 extra minutes. So I decided to spice up my daughters science folder. I found some colorful duct tape at the 99 cent store. I bought a leopard print and a zebra hot pink and black print. It took no time and makes her feel so special. Perfect combo for me!!! The best part about this project is my middle school pre-teen son asked if I could go buy some "boy" colors today and do his.  Check it out! 

Folder and your choice of tape 

 Like I said I had 5 minute so I didn't do a very complex design. I just laid an X down and use an x acto knife or scissors to cut the edges. 

Then uses a bronze sharpie to label the folder. 

Enjoy

La Tuna Canyon

I was introduced to a new canyon last week. We always hike/run Fryman canyon and Runyon canyon. Both of those canyons are a bit crowded and have tons of dogs. So when running both of these things become hazards. When I was taken to La Tuna canyon, I was very pleased to find the trails are very wide, the inclines are smooth and gradual, and it's such a long trail you rarely see people. The people that you do see, are very friendly. The best part of La Tuna Canyon is the view. Absolutely breathtaking! On one side you can see San Gabriel Valley. After you hike about 3 miles up you can see all of San Fernando Valley, LA, and on a clear day the Ocean. 

The view 2 mile up (San Gabriel Valley) Lacresenta, La Canada, Pasadena

The tall building in this picture is Downtown LA

It took us about an hour and 20 min to walk up to the top. We ran down in about 40 min. My husband and I are training for our 2nd Tough Mudder run. So the long distance run was good for us. 

This is now my favorite canyon to run.

Baked Pesto Califlower

Califlower is my favorite thing to eat for dinner. I usually bake it with lemon juice, and no salt seasonings. We went to a restutants in Las Vegas (in The Hotel) and they had the best pesto califlower. I made my own.  

Cut your head of califlower up into bite sizes. 

I used a little extra garlic.  

Coat the uncooked califlower with your pesto, cover with foil and bake. 

350 oven for 20 minute. 

Your house will smell so amazing!!!! 

Enjoy..... 

I enjoyed with a glass of red wine.

Natural Lip Balm

My daughter and I use so much lip gloss, lip balm, carmex etc...... I started to think if I could slowly change the items my family uses the most to natural products the healthier we will be. Starting with lip balm or lip gloss. I found this supper easy recipe for an all natural lip balm. The recipe is below and it was a great project for my daughter and I to do. Check it out......

 

All you need is:

Coconut oil

Beeswax

Containers

Vitamin E

You will also need a grater for the beeswax and a purex or any microwavable glass.

 Basic ratio:

• 2 parts coconut oil
• 1 part beeswax
• a few drops of vitamin E

I used 2 tablespoon of coconut oil and 1 tablespoon of beeswax.

That measurement made 3 full 2oz containers

The vitamin E is not only good for your skin it also helps the shelf life. You can also add a few drops of food coloring and or essential oils.  

 

 

microwave for 1 min then stir.

it will take about 3 min total.

 

Pour into containers (be carful very hot)

Let set....

(Over night)

 

Your Lips Will Love You.....

 

Back at it......

Yayyyyyyy  I'm back. I took a short (well almost 2 years) break. However today after dropping my kiddies off at school I got "Inspired". Inspired to start posting again. I have been so busy over the last year or so that I lost all my creative mojo. In the last 2 hours I have fought google and my brain to log back into "Agesvision". I never realized how many emails and passwords I have.
 I started an Agesvision instagram and that was so easy I forgot to post on my blog. Shame on me.... I am having so much fun looking back at my past post. I forgot how much fun it was to just post things that intrigued me, inspired me, upset me, enlightened me.


So I'm back. I promise to post weekly for now......
