Adventures of a Cat Lady

  • Arty cat boxes

    For the purpose of this blog, we will be calling what is being created as “arty cat boxes:”, much more catchy than a ‘art cat bed’ which they are found as under google. When I first came across these super cute boxes a month or so ago, I knew instantly that I wanted to make…

  • How to create a mental health wall

    Mental health is something that affects everyone. Despite this, its still considered a taboo subject, which does no one any good. Although it could be argued that the world is currently taking many steps backwards and actively towards the later 1930s or early 1940’s… It is highly likely that you have had the ‘doorway effect‘.…

  • Sausage Stew – a winter warmer

    I recently stumbled across a instagram post that inspired this recipe, it kind of reminded me of my childhood… Not the the recipe that was used but the ingredients. As a child my mother made a lot of kielbasa sausage with rice, so much of it that it’s taken me years to want to eat…

  • DIY Lantern Light

    DIY Lantern Light

    I have a slight obsession with lights and lamps but not your traditional kind. I’m quirky in every sense of the word and every aspect of my life. In the last 8 months I’ve taken to making my own lamps, where possible. It helps that Im quite creative and can envision what I want to…

  • DIY: Soothing bath bombs for dry skin

    Winter skin is not only a REAL thing, its painful. My skin is somewhere between tree bark, elephant skin, and the dessert. I woke up in the middle of the night with pain on my back from dry skin, where it hurt to just lie in the bed, that was really not pleasant. In addition…

  • DIY Pimp your KitchenAid Mixer with Hello Kitty tutorial

    Even though I am now WELL into my thirties, I still secretly (or not so secretly) love Hello Kitty.  Being a crazy cat lady has a little bit to do with it but I grew up with Hello Kitty and to be fair, she has had very few scandals, making her a rather wholesome character.…

  • DIY Nourishing Winter Lip Balm

    DIY Nourishing Winter Lip Balm

    Not that long ago I posted a tutorial on making a chocolate lip balm, whilst this was indeed a tasty treat for your lips, it didn’t feel very nourishing or last very long (this could be as a result of constantly licking ones lips constantly because it was so sweet). I decided to take inspiration…

  • DIY Whipped Body Butter For Men

    DIY Whipped Body Butter For Men

    Man products (as I like to call them) are totally underrated. I get that lotions, potions, balms, and scrubs are a girls paradise BUT men have needs too! Ok, we’re not talking about those kinds of needs… We’re talking soap, skin and lotions. I’ve been making what I call ‘Man Soap’ for a few years,…

  • DIY Chocolate Cake Lip Balm

    So I came across a recipe that combines chocolate with lip balm, hooray! I mean really, who doesn’t love chocolate? So naturally I decided to adapt it to fit me and I have to say its been a success! I found out that my lip balms were quite soft (VERY soft), in my adaptation Ive…
