Love Thyself Brownies

Dark Chocolate Brownies (This isn’t in metric…I’m sorry to my European witches!):

-1 ½ cups granulated sugar

-¾ cups cocoa powder (I use a high cocoa percent powder, that’s what makes it dark chocolate, but you can use what you’re comfortable with)

-¾ cup flour

-3 eggs

-¾ cups melted butter (just under two sticks if you buy them that way)

Optional: -chocolate chips, nuts, peanut butter, etc.

Step 1: Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2: Mix all base ingredients until just incorporated. Do NOT overmix. Focus on the batter being hugged by you (through the spoon/whisk) and loved as your mix it.

Step 3: Gently stir in optional ingredient like chips, nuts (if peanut butter you spoon it onto the batter after pouring into pan)

Step 4: Pour into small casserole pan or brownie pan (line with parchment paper for an easy removal, or spray/grease really well. Add self-love and care sigils to the bottom of the parchment paper (reverse side to what you’re cooking on) or with your finger/a brush in the grease/oil spray.

Step 5: Bake for about 25 min (check on it regularly after 20 min, each bake is different and finicky)

Enjoy!

Toilet paper pill box.

Another small fun project for recycling! These are perfect for little gifts and a cute way to send your jewelry to customers… it not only give a nice shell of protection to the treasures you put inside, its cost free, customizable and keeps recycling on the mind <3

All you need are - toilet paper rolls - decor ( i used stamps) - Tape or glue

Step one: decorate your roll. I used some of my stamps, but don’t limit yourself to just that… you can use old paper, photographs, tissue paper, paint,sharpie and whatever else you have laying around to decorate. Mod podge and some pattered paper would be fun!

Step two: Once your roll is decorated to your liking, fold down the corners on one end, making it look like little cat ears. Make sure they fold over each other so there is no open gap, and tape down  ( you can also glue the end down) * side note… if you dont like the look of regular tape, they sell something called washi tape? that comes in all sorts of amazing patterns!

-Step three: When you have some side sealed and taped down, wrap and place your item/treasures inside the box ( i wrapped up some earrings) and seal the other end, again making sure they fold over one another so there are no gaps.

- Step four… your done!

Again these are wonderful for gift giving and product packaging. Small, sturdy, cheap, recycled pill boxes…. you can use old paper towel rolls too! those are larger and can fit a bit more than TP rolls.
