Around The House Storage Containers

I love taking things around the house that are empty and trying to make containers out of them for little knick knacks that I have. I took a couple pictures of some things I made out of containers, I thought you guys might like to see. So here they are:



This is an Arizona Green Tea Container. When it was empty, i was looking at it, like hmm What Can I Do With This? Well this was the solution..Dog Food! It has a handle, and its pretty big, and the dog food is small so it works perfectly! :)


This is a container I got from Cracker Barrel [Yes, my favorite restaraunt!] It had Double Bubble Gum in it. After the gum was gone, I cleaned out the container and painted the polka dots on it & put a ribbon on the top. I put a cup of rice in the bottom, and stuck my makeup in it. [Eyeliner, Foundation Brush, Lipgloss, ETC. It's a small little container that fits about 10 things in it! I love how this turned out! [You can use any container, just put rice in the bottom so they stay standing up! :)]



One of the cutest ideas ive come across! My moms friend told us about this! Take an empty honey bear, when the honey is gone. Soak it with hot hot water and soap over night and the honey should be out of it. Once its clean, put dishwasher soap in it! Put the lid on, and it has a top to squirt out of! Its so easy and convenient, and so so cute!


There are just three container ideas that I have for now. There will be more later! :) I cant show you all of them at once..Gotta leave some for later & keep you wondering!

On a different note, in the previous post where I mentioned Maui Babe AFTER BROWNING LOTION I told you that I had only used it a couple times, and I would update on what I thought about it. Well..I LOVE IT!! Ive never had my skin so soft! Seriously! I use it every time I get out of the shower. I only put it on my legs, arms, and face. Ive used it probably 8 times, because I forget to put it on sometimes, and it is amazing. It lasts a long time, a little bit goes a long way! As far as the Maui Babe Tanning Lotion, I LIKE it, but I dont think i LOVE it. It is very messy. When im at at the beach, I like to read my book and relax, but when I have brown tanning lotion all over my hands, Its really hard because the book will get nasty. I like tanning oil, because I like the look of the oil. So those are my updated thoughts on those two items! :)
