Got it Waxed!
Waterproof shoes: Rub the entire shoe or boot with beeswax. Blow with a hairdryer on the warm setting to melt in the wax. Wait 5 minutes for the wax to cool down and wear it.
Smell the roses
As part of the Good Life, I think that every household should have at least one Rose Geranium plant. I pick a leaf throughout the day, and just roll it between my fingers and appreciate the amazing scented oils. It is best planted on a narrow walkway, or somewhere where the leaves will regularly be bruised by people brushing against it
