Beautiful Cleaning Supplies

This post is sponsored by Method. To raise awareness of ocean pollution, Method launched the first commercial product ever to be made of ocean plastic. The Ocean Plastic bottle design is inspired by a sea urchin, and the dark gray color is actually the natural color of recovered plastic after it’s been melted down and molded. Read more about it here and watch this cool video to learn more.

DIY Splatter Paint Favor Boxes

by Jenny Batt

I’m old enough to remember the craze in the 80s first hand, ok, I was a kid, but I think that is where my love for neon originated. I had to incorporate it into some fun favor boxes. Whether for a birthday party or a wedding, customizing little boxes with a dose of hot pink modernizes even the drabbest of favors.

You will need: craft paint, favor boxes, medium to large sized paint brush, a bit of water
