This post contains sponsored material.

Anyone who’s ever lived in a small home knows that there’s a definite art to making the most of the space you have. Here are a few ways to turn a small home into a big comfort.

1. If possible, measure and plan ahead. When you know that you’re going to be moving into a small apartment or home, you’ll be able to plan ahead in order to make every inch count. Take measurements of the rooms as well as other elements that will affect room layout, like windows and the ceiling.

2. Figure out how you can arrange your home for functionality, not just appearance. What will you be using regularly? What isn’t a priority? You may need your office separate from your bedroom so you’re not tempted to work late into the evening. You may want your bookcase in your living room because that’s where you enjoy reading.

Refresh Naturally with Icebox Water

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

I never buy plastic water bottles; I always use reusable bottles that I fill at home with tap water. Occasionally I need convenient packaged water to take with me on family vacations, long roadtrips, etc. Instead of buying flimsy plastic bottles, I turn to boxed water.

Icebox Water brings you fresh spring water, packaged at the source. The packaging is 100% BPA-free, so you can enjoy the pure, fresh water. Icebox Water sources their water from True North Spring in Canada. The water has a pH level of 7.4.

Make Your Own Home Cleaners with Essential Oils

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

I have been using all-natural home cleaners in my home for many years now, but I want to start making my own. Since I use essential oils daily in my home, why not make a few cleaners with the oils.

I was given the opportunity to try an amber glass spray bottle from Emmi’s Essentials. It is always a good idea to use glass container when using essential oils, especially the citrus ones. This is the largest amber glass spray bottle I have ever seen! It is 16 oz and comes with a pipette and a decorative labels. The spray nozzle is adjustable and the bottle can be reused over and over again.

Pack a GoGo SqueeZ Applesauce for an On the Go Snack

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

My kids would eat applesauce with every meal if I let them. I prefer to give them applesauce that is unsweetened and only contains one ingredient: apples. During apple season, I like to make my own applesauce and jar it. I send it to school with my kids in reusable pouches.

My kids bring a snack with them to school everyday. At their first recess they are encouraged to eat a health snack. My kids always request applesauce. GoGo SqueeZ is a popular brand and one my children are fond of. They offer a variety of flavors and even an organic line. Their original line includes 12 flavors, but they also have a fruit & veggies line with 4 flavors and an organic line with 7 flavors.

Natural Beauty with Rosehip Seed Oil

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

I have always appreciated my facial skin. I have never been prone to breakouts and the skin on my face can be defined as “normal” when talking about oilyness/dryness.

Last year I turned 30 and some things started to change. I have always washed and moisturized on a daily basis, but my face was turning into more of a combination of werid dry and oily patches. To help with the change I started scrubbing my face more and using more oils.

I have always used oils on my face. I once even trued the oil cleansing method, where you wash your face with oil. I believe that conventional facial products strip your face of oils, therefore I choose to use pure oil products and those that are natural.
