Mason Jar Oil Lamp



These are so cool! When I found them how could I not post these? I know I will be making some!

Why make them? They are easy & pretty. Safer than candles & bright and long lasting.

Materials you are going to need are:
Large floating wicks, which you can find here.

Veggie oil; 1T can last up to 2 hours

Mason jars, water, along with decorative elements like flowers, pine cones or even pebbles.

You can infuse the oil with herbs, spices and even essential oils.

First you want to gather your mason jars and fill with flowers or whatever items you chose, then cover with water.

Next pour some veggie oil on top till the oil forms a layer of about 1/4' thick.

Lastly comes your wicks. The wick I took you to on Amazon comes with discs and small waxed wicks. Insert a piece of the waxed wicks half way through the center hole on the disc and put it on top of the oil layer.

Now light and enjoy!

I tried to look up buffalo chicken shit on a shingle with no recipes but I came across this one. Now you can do the nachos or you can create your own shit on a shingle version with a piece of toast and melted cheese on top of the toast with the buffalo chicken on top...hmmmm... Anyways, here ya go. Recipe makes 6-8 servings. What you'll need: Nachos.... 1/3 - 1/2c you're favorite hot sauce 3c cooked shredded chicken 8-10oz tortilla chips 1 1/3 - 2c shredded Mexican blend cheese Topping.... 1/2c plain greek yogurt 3-5T more of hot sauce 3-4 green onions thinly sliced Create: Preheat the oven to 400˚F. In a medium bowl, mix the hot sauce with the shredded chicken until well coated. Set aside.

Below are a few ideas to try next time you start looking like Rudolph.

Add a pinch of baking soda to the mixture.) Steam! Boil some water and add some eucalyptus oil to the water (you can use Walmart's brand for this). Lower the pot to a simmer and take a towel over your head and put your head over the pot. Chicken Soup, yes you read that right! A 2000 study found that chicken soup reduces inflammation associated with sinus congestion, runny nose and colds. Warm & Cold Compresses, lay back with the warm compress draped across your nose, cheeks and forehead for 3 minutes. Remove and replace with a cold compress for 30 second
