The Official Unicorn SPiT® User’s Handbook Giveaway

tabbyspantry 2 Comments

 

Where are all of my crafters?! It’s the most crafty time of year.  The seasons are changing and holidays are coming and I have a great book for you inspired by the popular Unicorn SPiT painting trend.

Unicorn SPiT is a paint, gel stain, and glaze concentrate — all in one bottle! It creates a multifaceted, 3-dimensional effect on wood, glass, metal, fabric, pottery, wicker, concrete, laminate and more. Fans love that it’s non-toxic and comes in a variety of outrageous colors.

Back in 2015, inventor Michelle Nicole never imagined her colorful concoction would go from being made in a spaghetti pot in her kitchen to being sold at major art and hobby stores around the world. “When I created Unicorn SPiT, I was skeptical of how it would be received,” she said. “But after seeing the art created by thousands of people using the product, its powers have proved to be real.”

Now, for the first time, Michelle spills the secrets about the best tips and tricks for using the paint to create vibrant works of art in The Official Unicorn SPiT® User’s Handbook: Let Your Creative Juices Flow With Over 50 Colorful Projects for Home Decor, Apparel, Artwork, and Much More! [978-1681987194; $34.95; Rocky Nook; October 2021]. This official guidebook details everything you need to know, including more than 50 projects for artwork, glassware, clothing, and more; mixing color to create unique new shades; easy techniques for applying paint like a pro; tips and tricks on giving new life to old furniture; and much, much more!

The Official Unicorn SPiT® User’s Handbook also tells the inspiring story behind its creation. When she was 21, Michelle started an arts and crafts program at a daycare center for disabled adults and elderly citizens, but she noticed the men weren’t partaking in projects, like macaroni pictures and hook rugs. When she spotted an old piece of furniture off the side of the road, she brought it in for the men to work on. In no time at all, many of the participants transformed pieces of furniture, and the art therapy was energizing the senior citizens.

“Realizing that some of the residents were going to use their hands to color the furniture, I decided to develop a non-toxic product that didn’t emit harmful fumes or irritate the skin. After much trial and error, I developed a vibrantly colorful stain that worked, was safe to use, and smelled like jasmine,” she said. This stain eventually became known as Unicorn SPiT.

Want To Be Happier? Essential Oils Have Been Proven To Have Positive Effects

tabbyspantry

Some people discovered the benefits of essential oils aeons ago, and how well they work to ease pain and stop the spread of the infection. These oils like lavender, cbd, and camphor, can be used for almost anything, they say. Many people have experienced similar results – why are essential oils so popular? 

Image Credit

Let’s take a look at some of the current uses of essential oils.

Here are just a few reasons:

Help you relax or invigorate

Some scents will help you come up with new ideas, while others will put you in a state of relaxation. Combine different scents to figure out what works best for you. Do your research ahead of time before trying any oil blends, though. It is essential to use caution when attempting any new combination and consult a professional if you have any concerns.

Clear up skin issues

Essential oils can be used to treat acne, eczema, stretch marks, dermatitis, and so much more. Find the essential oil that best suits your needs and dab it on your skin. You may need to give your skin time to adjust or add gradually to avoid irritation.

Boost immunity

If you’re feeling under the weather, try massaging your chest with eucalyptus oil – it’s been proven effective for treating coughs and congestion because of its antibacterial properties. Try making a homemade vapor rub by mixing camphor (for pain relief), eucalyptus (antibacterial properties), tea tree oil (antiseptic properties), and a moisturizer.

Clear up congestion

Combine peppermint essential oil with coconut oil for an all-natural homemade vapor rub that will help clear away any sickness. Peppermint is a very effective decongestant because it’s a vasoconstrictor, which causes the blood vessels to constrict, helping to stop congestion from being so severe.

Make your house smell delightful

There are many different types of scents you can get from using essential oils – there’s nothing like walking into your home after it’s been treated with ylang-ylang, orange, or lavender. You might want to turn your nose up at the idea now, but once you realize how much money you can save by making your scented products, you’ll jump on the bandwagon in a heartbeat.

Relieve pain

You can use essential oils to help soothe any pain, from muscle aches after a challenging workout to the pain you feel when you have a headache. Some oils may even be used as an anesthetic. Some people say that when you add peppermint or lavender oil to baking soda and then place it onto the affected area, it works to relieve swelling and pain. Of course, everyone is different – some people don’t experience relief until they add eucalyptus oil instead.

Improve mood and digestive health

Want to be happier? Essential oils have been proven time and time again to have positive effects on air – it’s no surprise why people turn to essential oils when they need some severe mood-boosting. The key is finding the right blend (some fats such as lemon and grapefruit are energizing while others like orange and lavender are calming) and knowing when to apply it (before bedtime if you want help falling asleep). Some people have even reported getting rid of nausea with essential oils – give it a try if you’re feeling sick.

Note: Keep in mind that essential oils should never be ingested – doing so can cause poisoning. Avoid getting essential oil in your eyes, and make sure you don’t use too much on sensitive skin without diluting it with a carrier oil first.

Struggling To Switch Off? Relaxation Tips For Moms

tabbyspantry

Do you ever find yourself wide awake in the early hours of the morning even though you feel exhausted, or does your mind race when you crave calm and tranquility? When you’re a mom, it’s difficult to switch off. If you’re struggling, here are some tips to help you relax. 

Image source: https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-holding-gray-ceramic-mug-846080/

 

Time management

Most parents are familiar with the feeling that there aren’t enough hours in the day. If you work, or you have young kids and you look after them from morning until bedtime, life can get hectic. Time management is an essential skill for busy moms. It’s important to devote time to your kids and your job, but it’s also essential to make time for yourself. Nobody is superhuman, and we all need space and downtime. Even if you only schedule half an hour every couple of days to go out for a walk with the dog, enjoy a bubble bath with a soothing playlist or meet up with friends for a coffee, having time to relax, recharge your batteries and enjoy some time to yourself will have a positive impact. It’s also a great idea to make use of time-saving solutions like shopping online instead of going out to stores, batch cooking to save time in the evenings and getting everything prepped and ready for work or school the night before. 

 

Evening routines

Most parents devote a lot of time and energy to getting their children into a routine so that they get enough sleep. Once your kids are in a routine, make it your mission to establish your own evening regime. Give yourself time to relax and unwind before you go to bed and set times to go to bed and get up in the morning. If you go to sleep and wake up at a similar time each day, this will enable your body clock to adjust. Avoid doing anything that makes you feel stressed or anxious during the evening, for example, checking work emails. Use activities or hobbies, such as reading, listening to music, writing, watching TV, painting or drawing to reduce stress and make you feel calm before bedtime.

 

Herbal remedies

Herbal remedies and natural supplements can aid relaxation if you find it hard to switch off after work or you feel like you can’t shift out of mom mode. If you’ve researched remedies, you may have come across a number of options, such as JongKong Kratom and Delta 8 vapes,    which you might not have heard of before. With any kind of herbal or natural remedy, it’s always beneficial to read articles on reputable, trustworthy websites and to seek medical advice before trying anything new. Some people find natural remedies hugely beneficial while others prefer to use other techniques or treatments. 

 

Exercise

If your mind is racing, or you feel like you’re swimming against the tide, exercise can be an incredibly effective solution. Physical activity is proven to reduce stress, lift your mood, clear your mind and make you feel more positive. It also has amazing benefits for your body. You don’t have to spend hours on a treadmill or join the gym to reap the rewards of regular exercise. A daily walk, a bike ride or a home Pilates workout will work wonders. There is a vast range of activities you can try from dancing and trampolining to running, hiking, kayaking, surfing, climbing and swimming. Make time for exercise and use it to help you manage stress, have fun and relax.

Do you feel like it’s virtually impossible to switch off? If so, you’re not alone. If you find it hard to relax, take these tips on board.

How to Spend Quality Time With Your Children

tabbyspantry

A lot of us live very hectic lifestyles, trying to juggle a multitude of things. For most of us, they include holding down a job, running a home and family, a social life, and trying to get some exercise in, amongst other things. It’s no wonder many of us struggle to find time for anything these days. But in reality, some things are far important than others. And being able to spend quality time with the children is one of them. Remember, quality time is needed more than the quantity of time – for those of you who are really busy, this is a vital point. It is important we understand their development, if they have any issues they need to discuss, helping them with school work and a social life of their own. We can’t assume that having a quiet child means they do not need some TLC from time to time. To help get you thinking on ways to connect with your kids, here are a few ideas:

Image from Pixabay

 

Daily One-to-Ones

This may be done as you’re are tucking them away for bed. All you need is around ten minutes of individual connection time. If you can sit down with your kid privately and ask any question on your mind, are you ok? Is school ok? Etc. If you can do this daily, you will develop a better understanding of them. If they are holding out on you at any point, you will be able to feel there is something wrong. Daily one-to-ones means you will be far more likely to pick up on subtle changes you may otherwise miss. That gives you scope to probe in any way you see fit, promising you won’t get mad or tell anyone is something you may have to do. And you will need to stick to your work until you have figured out how to help them.

 

Positive Behaviour Reinforcement

If your child has done a good job at school and got the top grades or has gone out of their way to help you or one of your siblings, for example, you need to reinforce this positive behavior. Verbal reinforcement is a must. Tell them you are proud of them, stick their high-grade on the fridge. You may need to be aware of your other children’s feelings as well, but positive behavior needs to be rewarded in some way. Perhaps, your reward could benefit all the children in some way, like taking them to see a film. Taking lots of photos of a school play, for example, and printing them off to be framed, could be a way of reinforcing good behavior. Use the gemini app to delete photo duplicates if you are an avid photo taker. You definitely want space on your phone to capture these proud moments.

 

Sit Down Meals

Why not have a sit-down meal every evening where phones are banned? This may take a little more preparation than having T.V dinners, but the results can be worth it. Perhaps waiting until everyone is together to have the meal is a must too. This gives you scope to have a family discussion every evening where the whole family gets to know each other better. It is also a great way to encourage healthy eating habits.

 

Family Activities

Once a month, at the weekends, you could go off for a family activity. Why not let everyone take turns in choosing an activity? That way, everyone is involved in the decision-making. Family outings such as Hikes, going to a Zoo, or a Theme Park, a mystery tour, are great ways for everyone to connect and learn more about each other’s skills. You will develop a better understanding of how your child thinks and feels about certain things, and that will enable your ability to help them if something goes wrong.  

 

Be Silly

Life is not all about being serious all the time. Life is supposed to be fun and enjoyable, not doom and gloom. Maybe you need to let your hair down and be a bit silly with the kids. Have a laugh and play with them. It is the small things in life that mean the most, and being able to let your hair down and have a laugh is such a great way to connect with people. It means that you are more approachable and down to earth, and sometimes that is all a child wants to see. Play tickle fights and hide and seek, and other little games which mean so much. You will find that these little things will reduce your stress levels too.
