Peppermint: Not Just For Candy Canes

  Peppermint:    Looking for a natural way to ease some common discomforts? Consider peppermint. The plant’s dried, crushed leaves or extracted oil offer more than a pleasing aroma and flavor, they have medicinal applications as well.

Jars for your Herbs

Image
  If you're like me, you never have enough jars to hold your herbs, am I right? Yep I thought so too. Well I save Jars, let me tell you, I do! I have found a really nice jar for herbs though. Here it is A DIY to reuse these Jars. Yep you find them at Walmart but other stores may have similar brands at a fair price. I have found other jars but at much higher prices for basically the same thing. This jar comes filled with herbs, and best of all when you use it up, save the jar, the label cleans off really easy and leaves almost no residue at all, best thing ever. They can hold all your witchy herbs after use. They can make a whole kitchen herb collection and once you buy them you can refill with bulk herbs, which I buy often. So for me I buy 1 or 2 every week or two, save up the jars and then can reuse how I like. You can also make up labels for the jars to reuse I have found some really cool sets online, or made my own.  ✻✿ ✻*LIKE ✻✿ ✻* SHARE✻✿ ✻* Please don't forget to LIKE ou...
