Decorative spice jars
My love my little spice cabinet because it is super accessible and makes cooking so much more enjoyable!
I found the vintage cabinet for sale on Ebay and ​the jars were found on amazon (linked here, and here) as well as the label maker (linked here).
Here are a few of my favorite meal/recipe ideas to incorporate in your healthy/ busy lifestyle that I love!
