Ant Killer Recipe...

By
Happy Monday, everyone! I thought I would throw this out there for those of you who are interested...because it is Spring and I know alot of you are probably in the same boat as I am.

It's that time of year again. ANT season. Yep. Last year I had a whole "gang" of them marching one by one through my living room...I could have SCREAMED! We get the huge black carpenter ants that make a huge mess when you step on them. You know what I mean?

Anyway, my mom gave me her special "recipe" for ant killer and also gave me some of her already made stuff. So, I put it out and I am telling you...within 48 hours, my ants were GONE. It was amazing!

So, here is the recipe...hope it works for you!

**Ant Killer**
1/3 cup PURE Maple Syrup (artificial won't work)
1 Level tsp. Boric Acid (I got a huge bottle of it for just $5.99 at the hardware store)

Heat acid and syrup until acid is dissolved. Cool. Dilute with an equal amount of water. Store in a glass jar. Put poison in jar lids where ants feed. (Keep out of reach of children and pets!)
"Special" ingredients!
Boiling the ingredients.
Storing the Ant Killer...mark your jar well! :)

***GIVEAWAY CLOSED*** Well, as you have probably noticed I do not have a shortage of lip balms in my house. I do have a sister who is crazy about lip balms too, so I make sure to pass on some of my goodies to her. My daughter is also really fond of these little sticks of balm too...and LOVES to put on like two or three inches of it when she is given the chance! As a Carmex Blog Squad Member , I am privileged to bring you new and exciting products that Carmex has recently released and they are NEVER a disappointment! So, this next review is brought to you by Carmex and is featuring their brand new Vanilla Twist and Lime Twist Ultra Moisturizing Lip Balms ! Carmex has been one of my favorite brands to use lately mainly because I love the tingly sensation that is present after using their products. I know it sounds odd, but it is almost like I know the product is working for me and actually doing something other than sitting on my lips. (Just don't leave them in a hot ...

The Pickle Juice Company Review

By
How many of you are super athletic and active during the summer months? I used to be...prior to having children and now, it seems I chase them all around so that counts as something, right? One concern that many athletes and active people have during the summer is hydration and the risk of dehydration, especially if you live in a hot/tropical climate. We life in NY state so we have four full seasons, our summers can be hot and humid and if you are active, that can be challenging. The other issue that many run into is having a sports drink that can replenish and refresh their system that is gluten free and healthy for them too. Food allergies can limit the choices when it comes to hydration drinks. So, today I am going to introduce you to The Pickle Juice Company . This company specializes in gluten-free sports drinks that will stop muscle cramps in their tracks and keep you hydrated and refreshed no matter what activities you are participating in this summer! Before I continue wi...

NOVICA Review

By
Do you like handmade things? I do! I think it really showcases someones creativity and adds some sentiment to the item. When I give gifts, it means sooo much more to the recipient if the gift was handmade. When travelling internationally while I was in high school, I loved collecting handmade things. From the Dominican Republic, I snagged a GORGEOUS painting as well as some lovely necklaces. From Spain, I brought home a stunning sweater that was burgundy and had silver shimmers throughout the material. So, I do have an appreciation for handmade things...especially from other countries . This is where my next company comes in! Meet NOVICA! I first saw NOVICA on another blog that was conducting a review and I was really impressed by this company. NOVICA's goal is to give world-wide artisans an opportunity to expand and grow their artistic talents through the internet's community of consumers. Here is their mission statement: We want to give artists and artisans aro...
