Mustard

Last night, I burned my arm.  Badly.  It was approximately a 6-by-3 inch area of blister and bubbly red.  Well, I had no idea what to do! I desperately wanted the hurt and blister to stop!
So, I did what anyone else would do in a dire situation:
I googled it.
And I found out that mustard on a burn is supposed to help it.  Don't ask me why.

All I know is that it works.  It also stinks really badly, but it does work.  I left it on for over an hour, and when I rinsed it off, the red was gone and there were no blisters!  I could even tell an outline of where the mustard had not touched and it was still slightly red.

This morning, its almost all gone!

I'm so thankful for home remedies like this one.
Which ones do you use?  What works, and what doesn't?

I'm going to write the good ones down and use them.  If they are as useful as this was, who can afford not to know?!

1.  Mint Milanos

When I was little, my mom used to eat these.  They were her favorite.  I wasn't allowed to eat them unless she gave me one.  I remember feeling like they were gold.

I still feel that way.  They're divine.

2. My Chair

I bought this chair from Target right after we got married, and I love it so much.

It's comfy and chic!

3. The Hubs' Style

He is a music guy.  But he doesn't always dress like one.

He's all guy, and I love it!  I love the rugged, manly look.  And a baseball cap.  So I'm actually thankful he doesn't always look like his worship leader friends.  Not that I don't like that style, I just really love his.

4. Hats

I love them (on other people).  I wish I could wear them.  Maybe I need more hat-confidence?

Either way, I do love looking at them and trying them on.

  So cute, yes?

5. Blog Design

I love my current one.  I love dirtandlace designs, who designed my header and button, but I think I'm going to replace them.  Only because I am loving designing blogs (bon blog designs) and I want to do my own, as well!  I don't know if I will change much else but my header and button, but all of you need to be prepared to replace my button (again, I know).

Wordless Wednesday: The French

The french braid, that is.

On busy days, I french braid my bangs into my hair and throw it in a messy bun.

It's my go to hairdo.

What's yours?

Places

Today, my head is in the clouds (and I have so much school work to do)... and I'm dreaming of being so many other places (other than here, studying, that is)!

1. Greece

Because, well, who doesn't?

2. Cambridge, UK

Yes, because I'm an English major.  Because I wish I were part of the Inklings Society. Because C.S. Lewis loved it here. And because I want to visit the Library!!

Plus, it is beautiful.

3. Mexico City

I've been here so may times.  It's my favorite place in the world.  And I don't even love big cities.  I don't know, maybe it's nostalgia.  I just love love love it here.

4. Star's Hollow

You get a million points if you know where this is from.

And yes, I want to be here, in this world, switching quips with these girls.

5. Switzerland

In middle school, I read Bloomability, and have wanted to go ever since.

Where are you dreaming of being today?
