Ten Buck Tuesday 14

I hope everyone is having a great start to the week!

I've been so lucky this year that my allergies to stay at bay... until yesterday. I think the combination of the derby infield (post to come later) and spending yesterday afternoon picking out flowers at a local nursery just set me up for failure.

I'm pulling out the neti pot tonight...

(Photo credit)

That is 100% not me. I think that's about as good as anyone can look while neti-potting. Taylor thought it would be "hilarious" to film me on his iPhone once last spring... all you can hear is him laughing ridiculously and me cussing at him through drowning noises. Anyone else use a neti pot? What do you do to help relieve allergy symptoms? What are you allergic to?

On to less congested things...

Last week on Ten Buck Tuesday, Amanda at City Girl Gone Coastal made this awesome Chalk Fabric Roll:

Susan at Love Endures All Things made this sweet Spring Wreath:

Evelyn Kate Designs made this adorable Ribbon Rosette Magnet:

And Kaitlin at The Goodey Knot did this amazing Shoe Makeover:

Super Quick Cucumber Appetizer

In a pinch and need something for guests to snack on? Or dinner taking much longer than expected and the hubs getting annoying hungry?

Cucumber Oil/Vinegar Quickie (ie: this does not have a name)

Cut cucumber slices thin (can peel if wanted; I do not). Pour over equal parts of vinegar and oil (again, you can wing this to your preferences; I usually use about 1/8 cup of each per whole cucumber sliced.

Then, season with salt, pepper and garlic. It's really that easy and I always get so many compliments about how delicious they are. Weirdly, I do not like cucumbers (or pickles) so I've only tried one years ago. Better if chilled for an hour before serving but I've served immediately before in a pinch.

Ten Buck Tuesday 13!

Good afternoon lovelies! I hope everyone is having a great start to the week! I got some hilarious emails about the "perfect" housewife post; if you haven't seen the article yet, please check it out and let me know what you think. I love your witty responses:)

Last night I went to the gym for the first time in a lonnnggg time. I just did 30 minutes on the tredmill and 10 minutes of death on the elliptical... you've got to (re)start somewhere, right?

And a BIG HAPPY TEACHER APPRECIATION DAY TO MY FELLOW EDUCATORS! :) This week we've got state testing so it's been super boring fun.

I finally have my coupon binder ready to go! I followed the Krazy Coupon Lady's regimen (I'll talk more about it later this week). Who's with me? I'm focusing on saving, not on hoarding like some extreme couponers (have you seen the show?)

Last week on Ten Buck Tuesday, Kitty at A Law Student's Journey made this incredible coffee cozy (with tutorial and I can't wait to try):

Spending Less, Living More made this oh-so-shabby-chic Ruffle Pillow:
