Friday Favorites ~ volume 4

It's Friday again!  So I rounded up some more of my favorite things! ♥

Peppermint Mocha Coffee Creamer

I've never been a fan of hot liquids, but I've been drinking coffee more often and trying to find ways to make it taste better.  Thankfully seasonal creamers are popping up on grocery store shelves, so I picked up some peppermint mocha creamer.  Coffee plus this creamer and a few pieces of ice is all I need to start my day off right!

Menchie's Magic Spoons

I'm kind of obsessed with these.  The spoons start out white and then change color when they get cold.  My husband and I stopped by the other day to cheer ourselves up after our canceled house viewing.  We got a "green" Menchie spoon and a "blue" Mookie spoon.  I would like to eventually get a spoon that turns pink and one that turns purple.  As for characters, I need to get Mellow, PB, Sprinkle, Chip, Barry and Kiwi.  It looks like there'll be a lot more frozen yogurt in my future. ;)

Candy Cane Sugar Scrub

I know it's still pumpkins and apples season but I'm posting not one but two peppermint friday favorites.  I saw this sugar scrub on Pinterest the other day and am really looking forward to making it.  I love the idea of candy canes, but I have never actually been able to eat a whole candy cane, let alone the whole package.  So this is a great DIY project to use up all those leftover candy canes and smell like one too!  The instructions don't call for crushed candy canes, but they can be easily added or substituted.

Miniature Clay Food Jewelry

I really want to start making miniature cakes and sweets out of polymer clay.  It looks like a lot of fun and I could turn them into earrings and necklaces and sell them on etsy.  I already have some of the supplies.  I hope to have a few things made up to show on the blog next week.

DIY Halloween Hangers

These are so cute.  I love the playful retro feel of the designs.  I need new hangers and how fun would it be to make a bunch of colorful wooden hangers with cute designs.  These are for Halloween, but I'm thinking the possibilities are endless: pumpkins for the fall clothes, candy canes for sweaters, beach balls for summer tops, etc.
