How to Make DIY Body Scrubs (Great for dry winter skin!) 0
On this episode of #TheRicheLife, I'm showing you how to make homemade body scrubs with just a few simple ingredients. They're so easy to make that once you start, you'll never want to buy them from the store again! The biggest difference between salt and sugar scrubs is that you can't use salt scrubs on your face or sensitive or irritated skin. Save those for extra dry areas (like your feet!) that could use a little extra TLC, especially during the winter. Whether you're making a salt scrub or a sugar scrub, however the ratios will...- Riche Holmes Grant

How to Make All-Natural Spring Cleaning Products 0
It’s spring cleaning time at Grant Central and we’re making our own DIY natural cleaning products! Truth moment: I'm *way* more excited about the DIY part than the actual cleaning. #justsayin But, I do LOVE making my own products though because they're much so better for the environment (and way cheaper), way friendlier to my my migraine-prone senses, and of course safer for my cleaning-obsessed #miniboss than most of the commercial cleaners out there. Each product that I'm featuring is super easy to make and requires just a few basic ingredients that you probably...- Riche Holmes Grant

DIY Bath Salts for Galentine's Day 0
I love making soothing bath salts to give away on Galentine's Day because they are so easy to make and make such sweet gifts too (I mean what woman doesn't need a little more relaxation in her life?). Note: For those of you who don't know, Galentine's Day is the unofficial (but pretty much official) holiday celebrated on February 13th when women all over celebrate the beauty of friendship, preferably with wine involved:-). The salts are there to soothe tired muscles and release toxins, the baking soda is there to soften the water and give your...- Riche Holmes Grant

DIY Whipped Body Butter for Dry Winter Skin 0
I started making my own body butter a few winters ago after I got of tired re-applying lotion throughout the day. Sometimes, it was literally two minutes later...yes...sigh. I mistakenly thought that the thicker (and more expensive!) the lotion better, but those factors actually made no difference at all as far as my skin was concerned. Finally, I decided to take matters into my own hands (literally) with an easy and effective DIY whipped body butter to the rescue! It's made with just three super-moisturizing natural ingredients, and a little bit goes a really long way. I...- Riche Holmes Grant

BambiniWare at Home for Thanksgiving 0
Welcome to Thanksgiving at Grant Central! I love the fall season and all of the beautiful colors that it brings, so I used those colors to bring both warmth and vibrance to my rustic chic theme. As you'll see, this year's decorations started at the front of the house with my newfound love of "porchscaping" and continued through our recently updated formal dining room, family room and kitchen. I shopped at all of my usual spots--Pier 1 Imports, Michaels, Home Goods, JoAnn Fabric and Crafts and Crate and Barrel to complete the look. And, of course, I...- Riche Holmes Grant
