So I encountered something new to my tastebuds. Churros. I was very curious about how it was made because its stuffed and I like the texture of it. So I tried it at home but due to unavailability of ingredients, I used chocolate syrup instead of making a chocolate sauce. But I will still include the recipe of the chocolate sauce.

By Sandi/Poor But Proud
I spent some of today repotting plants. Not wanting to use my good saucers for drip catchers, I looked around for something a bit deeper. I found a Dollar Tree sandwich/food keeper box and cut it in half.

I make a larger serving of steel cut oatmeal to have quick breakfasts throughout my week. Sometimes, I'll use some of it by frying some up in an oiled pan as pancakes! It is purely oatmeal. I do add cinnamon and added blueberries to my oatmeal after I make it but nothing else different is added.
Create Bouncy Curls with Cardboard Tubes
By attosa
I flew up to visit my parents recently and realized I'd left my curling iron at home. Before I got the chance to even contemplate buying a cheap curling iron at one of the local shops, my thrifty mum suggested I make use of a big bag of toilet paper tubes and wrapping paper centers she had put aside for crafting.
This step by step video shows you how to make simple fingerless gloves. Simple to make and cute to boot!
Flower Seeds For Valentine's Day
Instead of paper valentines, buy some flower seeds at the dollar store (usually 6-10/$1) and give them to your friends with a note that says something like - "MY LOVE FOR YOU GROWS AND GROWS!"
