Drink to Your Health at Turning Natural, Now Open Near Central
New in town, delight your taste buds and order a treat from Turning Natural! They sell juices and smoothies, along with açaí and pitaya bowls, vegan pastries, spinach patties, waffles, and more. There’s something yummy for everyone, with food and drinks you won’t have to feel guilty about enjoying, as they use healthy, natural ingredients in their products. A few juices to try are Swizz Beetz, Ginger Aide, and 50 Shades of Green. For smoothies, order one of their Bob Marley, Chill Pill, or Marion Berry. And, for açaí and pitaya bowls, you can pick either base and choose up to three toppings to add to your bowl. A few delicious toppings to add to your bowl are granola, strawberry, blueberry, almonds, coconut flakes, and sunflower seeds.
Keep in mind, it's more of a to-go kind of place, with only a small area that has a built-in bench seating along two walls where you can sit and wait to pick up your order. It makes for a great stop to grab a smoothie in between running errands or treat yourself to a pitaya bowl after a long day at work.

DIY Gold Leaf Paper Flowers [Midwest Living]
Looking for an extra-special way to decorate the tree or your holiday gifts? Add a personal touch with these handcrafted flowers. Print the template on Kraft paper and then use glue to coat the flowers with gold leaf, creating glitzy florals for your holiday decor.
Life-Sized Gingerbread Playhouse [HGTV]
Your little ones will love this holiday craft! You probably already have plenty of cardboard boxes on hand from your holiday shopping. Transform them into a life-sized playhouse for your youngsters with the help of a glue gun, some red and green duct tape, a craft snow blanket, and a few other elements you can find at the craft store.
