DIY Beach Hair Spray
This is REALLY good spray and it REALLY works. I think most of us love that wavy, tousled hair we get at a day on the beach. I do and I can kind of get that look with hair spray (lot of it) and crunching my hair as I blow dry. But it never stays for all day and I have to curl a few sections that didn’t turn out right. I found this spray in a magazine and it really works. I purchased all ingredients at the grocery store. I bought Organic Coconut Oil which was a little pricy, but I wanted to make it that day and figured it would be good for my hair anyway, but probably can find cheaper if not Organic.
Here is what you need to make your Spray and how to:
1 cup hot water
1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
2 Tbsp Alcohol (rubbing or drinking like Vodka)
2 Tbsp Sea Salt
1 Tbsp any brand Hair Gel
1 Spray Bottle
Pour hot water into your spray bottle followed by Coconut Oil, shake well and add all the following ingredients. Shake well again and let set for a short while so ingredients can all melt together.
TIPS: Make sure the water is warm-hot so the coconut oil melts.
Coconut oil smells awesome and keeps your hair healthy. If your hair is super dry, just use 2-3 tbsp of coconut oil!(this was my first time trying this spray and I think next time I will add 2 tbsp of oil)
You can also use drinking alcohol like Vodka. It lets the spray last longer and helps to break down your hairs oil build-up.
If your hair is more oily you can add more sea salt. But please make sure to use sea salt. Do not use table salt
A few spritzes of hair gel gives your hair a better hold and texture.
Make sure to shake it all up and always do before each use.
I washed hair as usually and let air dry to damp, then sprayed my entire hair with the spray ( you may want to go outside or back into the shower because the spray does leave a residue on the floors, counter etc.) Dry hair with the blow dryer crunching it as you go.
TA DA Beach Hair, I had to be my own Model because I was the only one home This was my first try at it and my second time came out even better, so practice makes perfect.
Have fun Ciao! Maybe turn on some Beach Boy’s

D.I.Y. Beverage Bottles with Chalk Board Labels
So start saving all your favorite empty bottles. Soak them in hot water and peel the labels off.
Mask off the section of the bottle you want to have the Chalk board label at
Purchase Chalkboard paint from your local Hobby or paint store. It comes different ways, spray paint or paint on. There is even a website where you can make your own, but I went the spray paint version.
Follow the directions on the can, I sprayed several layers, horizontal than vertical and let dry between layers. After 24 hours its ready to use. You can write on them with regular chalk or you can purchase chalk paint markers in different colors which add a whole lot more creative fun. The use’s for these are endless, beverages, flavored oils, vases, bubble baths. You could tie a piece of chalk around the neck with twine, fill with your favorite whatever and what a great gift. I really enjoy these and I hope you do also.

Your next favorite Superbowl Snack
Fly away Hot Wings and run along little Doggies, Texas Bites are riding in: The Best Man in my wedding brought this recipe from his home town and made them for us and we have been in love ever since. I have often thought of renaming them “Havasu Bites” since I have made them for so long but it just does not seem right and “Texas Bites” just sounds BETTER. Try these for your Superbowl Menu and see how people respond, they are AWESOME and you will be to if you make these.
Texas Bites
TEXAS BITES: (makes approx. 16 bites)
1 lb. favorite bacon (thick sliced seems to work better)
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size chunks
1 onion cut into big chunks
1 2.0 oz package Ranch dressing & seasoning mix
1 jar pickled jalapeno’s
Get all your ingredients together and start an assembly line
Texas Bites
Texas Bites
Cut your bacon slices in half, place down a chunk of onion, cut chicken into bite size pieces and dredge in dry Ranch mix. Place chicken onto onion piece, top with jalapeno ( or leave jalapeno off if you are wimpy) and roll up tight, stretching bacon a little bit to keep ingredients inside. Place the bite onto skewer making sure it goes thru chicken, onion and jalapeno so nothing falls out while on grill.
Texas Bites
Grill turning occasionaly maybe 15 minutes. We like them with Ranch dip and some Franks Hot Sauce. Enjoy and may the best team win the “SuperBowl”.
Ciao!

Herb Butter…Part 2
Herb Butters
LOVE Herb Butters and I did a post awhile back about them and I have found some new flavors to add to our list. All three of these will be great on a freshly grilled steak. I like sauces for meats, but I am not good at them and this is a great substitute. Just slice off a good Tablespoon of your favorite butter and put on your Rib Eye, Chicken breast or ground sirloin. It will add a fresh herb flavor and creaminess from the butter. The ideas for these butter are endless…Meats, breads, popcorn, veggies, sautéed foods, etc…
Gorgonzola Butter
2 ozs. favorite Gorgonzola cheese
1 stick unsalted butter
I use a mini food processor for these butters, place ingredients in with a dash of salt and blend.
Green Butter
1 c. chopped cilantro
1/4 c. chopped green onion
1/2 t. white ground pepper and dash of salt
1 stick of unsalted butter
Place ingredients in processor blend well.
Roasted Garlic Butter
1 roasted head of garlic, scoop out all the pulp mash with a splash of olive oil
1 stick of unsalted butter
dash of salt
Add all ingredients to your processor and blend well.
PACKING YOUR BUTTERS:
I scoop out the butter and place in a piece of plastic wrap, roll into round log and place in frig. After the butter hardens place it onto a piece of parchment paper that you have cut to size, mark on parchment what kind of butter it is roll up and tape closed. I tie the ends like a tootsie-roll and tie ends with string. This is where you can add your own flare to it and make different shapes out of your butter, (heart, round,triangle etc…) wrap in different papers and maybe use different ribbons for different occasions. They make great Hostess gifts. You could place in a basket with fresh breads or fresh veggies from your or someone else’s garden. Enjoy
Ciao!
