DIY glitter polish!

Good day everyone!
So this is a really simple tutorial on how to make homemade glitter polish!
I think the most fun part would be step 1.) buying your favorite glitter. its best to use 3 different kinds - a chunky glitter, a fine glitter, and a pigment powder. go nuts!
Step 2.) Make a little funnel out of paper and pour 1/4 tsp of chunky glitter, 1/8 tsp of fine glitter, and "a pinch" of pigment powder into some clear nail polish.
Step 3.) Shake it up, and there you go! (Feel free to add more glitter if its too thin!)

8 Ways To Use Lemons For Beauty!

Good day all!
These are just some really simple ways to use lemon to stay beautiful.
Seems like the lemon is a super fruit!

I gotta give props to mythirtyspot.com for this article.

Fade age spots - Just apply straight lemon to the areas before bed and wash off in the morning with cool water. After a week or two, the lemon will have cleansed the skin and lighten the color. If you want an all over body treatment, just add 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice to your bath and soak for 20 minutes.

For brighter, softer skin use fresh lemon juice on any area of your body, including the knees, elbows, and face to brighten up and soften your skin.

Get Rid of Blackheads If you rub lemon juice on the area with your blackheads, it should make them disappear. Do this every night and rinse with cool water in the morning until blackheads are gone.

Make a moisturizing mask for dry skin by mixing equal amounts of honey, lemon and olive oil. Apply the mixture to dry areas on the skin and allow it to dry thoroughly for about 10 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

As a toner for oily skin, combine 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons vodka, 1 tablespoon distilled water, and 1 teaspoon witch hazel. Apply with cotton balls and rinse with cool water. If you store in the refrigerator, it should last up to a week.

To exfoliate dead skin cells rub a cut lemon dipped into a half-teaspoon of sugar over your face for a few minutes, or create a mild mixture by using lemon juice, sugar and a small amount of water. Do this every night to help remove dead skin cells and refresh your skin.

To make a lemon anti-wrinkle mask mix a teaspoon of honey, a few drops of lemon juice and a drop of sweet almond oil. Apply this mixture on the face and allow it to dry for 20 minutes and wash off.

Homemade Body Scrub!

Hey all!
Here is an easy recipe to make your own vanilla sugar body scrub!
I love scrubs. It's just a thing with me. And this one is awesome!

Here is what you'll need. :)

1 1/4 cups of brown or raw sugar
6-8 tablespoons of organic unrefined coconut oil
15-20 drops of vanilla essential oil (may be substituted with vanilla fragrance)


Directions:
If your coconut oil is solid at room temperature, briefly warm just enough to aid in the melting the process. Then in a small bowl combine your coconut oil and brown sugar, blending well enough to eliminate any lumps. Then add your vanilla essential oil to the mixture drop by drop, being sure to blend mix after each addition. Once mixed, scrub should be placed in an airtight container and used within six months. Apply your scrub to pre-moistened skin, being sure to massage it in using circular motions.

And there you have it! Amazing smelling body scrub to gift or hog. Your choice.

Pony Tails for Fall!

Good day all!
Today I would like to point out that Summer is pretty much over for us here in the states.
Crazy, right? Well kick off your Fall right with some cute ponytails!
An easy one to do, is to take a large barall curling iron and curl your whole head. Take some hairspray (I recommend Big Sexy Hair.) and lightly spray hair all over. VERY lightly.
Then run fingers through hair, and tighten with a scrunchy. Easy! a cute Autumn style to dress up or down with a sweater or coat :)
