Best Natural Hair Care Products Update

Best Natural Hair Care Products Update

The best natural hair care products! Don’t you hate it when you have found a favorite product that works perfectly for you, and then they suddenly, and without warning, change the formula? Whenever a company does this, I really wish they would send out an email to their customers announcing the upcoming change so that […]

How To Make Your Own Warming and Romantic Body Oil

Several years ago, a friend told me she put almond oil on her skin every day and I thought that sounded kind of gross and, well, oily, but she convinced me to give it a try, so I bought some Weleda rose oil and loved it! But it is pricey and I also developed an allergy […]

Basic Vinaigrette Recipe

Basic Vinaigrette Recipe

A basic vinaigrette is my favorite salad dressing; it’s healthy, light and fresh, super quick to make and you can easily change up the flavor by using different vinegars, herbs and spices. This is my basic vinaigrette recipe and the version I make most of the time. I have been making this dressing for years […]

Photography Reflectors

Never underestimate the power of reflected light! It can totally change the look and feel of an image, and sometimes, it can make or break the shot. Reflectors are a must in certain situations, and you’d be amazed at the difference just a small piece of white foam core can make. Whether you’re doing portraits, […]

Prevent and Cure Colds and Flus The Natural Way

Winter is here and cold season is in full swing. There seems to always be something going around where I work, and I hear people sneezing and hacking all over the place. Thankfully, there are many natural products that can help both prevent and speed up the recovery from colds and flus, and I like […]

How To Create Dramatic Studio Photography Portraits In Your Kitchen

Moody, dramatic studio photography portraits go in and out of style, but I have always liked them, especially with black and white images. I think it works even for baby photos, and you really don’t need a whole lot of equipment to create these types of shots, so they are easy to do on location […]

My Favorite Prime Lens: the Canon 50mm f/1.4 USM

Back in the day when I used film exclusively, I always shot with prime lenses. But my first digital camera came with a zoom lens which opened up a whole new world of shooting possibilities. It made life so easy! I only needed to bring one lens on trips, and I could get shots – […]

The 2014 Holiday Card Collection and 2015 Scottish Terrier Monthly Calendar

I have finally finished this years holiday greeting card collection! 4 new Scottie dog cards and one winter image collage card. And for the first time, I’ve also created a calendar. It’s a 5×7 desk calendar with 12 of my photos of Scottish Terriers. It was a lot of fun to make, and I have […]

Gluten, Soy, Sugar, and Nut-Free Coconut Chai Coffee Cake

Gluten, Soy, Sugar, and Nut-Free Coconut Chai Coffee Cake

When I found out that I had candida overgrowth and gluten intolerance, I had to make some pretty drastic changes to my diet, and many of my staple foods were suddenly on the forbidden list. One of the things I missed the most right away was baked goods, so I started experimenting with making bread […]

Caffeine-Free Herbal Chai Tea

Caffeine-Free Herbal Chai Tea

I love my morning (and afternoon and sometimes evening) cup of tea. It’s not just that it’s delicious; it has a whole relaxation and “cozy feel” thing associated with it. On cold mornings, just holding that steaming hot mug of tea helps get the day started right, and on especially dark and chilly winter mornings, […]

Hi and Welcome!

I'm Cattie, and My Kitchen Sink is my personal blog. I am an animal-loving photographer who is happiest while traveling or on a beach in the sun. I grew up in Sweden on the magical island of Gotland and came to the US in 1991 "for a year". I'm still here... Read More
