DIY blush!

This DIY project is amazing, it'll save you a lot of money! This is a cheap way to make blush! And it works and it's fun to make, all you need is; 

- red food coloring (I used a pink) 

- empty container 

- baby powder 

- water 

 Instructions: 

First- get a small bowl and pour baby powder into it, ( as much as you need) 

Next, add water slowly (needs to be like starch *not to watery!!*) and also add your red food coloring, mix together!

Last, pour into your container and let dry over night, and use the next day! - A :) 

Natural Lip Exfoliator

Lip exfoliants are great to have if you tend to get chapped lips and love to wear lipsticks. They remove the dead skin and moisturize your lips so lipsticks go on smoother. Who wouldn't want smooth & soft lips?!

 So all you need for this product is brown sugar, olive oil, and honey. The recipe didn't come with exact measurements but just make each ingredient equal and mix it up! I tried this a few days ago and found myself making more after I used it! It works really well & I like it more than drugstore exfoliants! Enjoy!

P.S. For those of you who don't have a Pinterest, I would highly recommend getting one. We both get many of the remedies we use off of it!

DIY Moisturizing Facial Cleanser

Need a new moisturizing facial scrub? This is a very easy to make soap & it isn't as abrasive as a normal drugstore scrub. Here's what you'll need: 

- Coconut Oil

-Baking Soda

You can get these items almost anywhere; I go to Trader Joe's. The recipe is quite simple; 1 teaspoon baking soda & 1 tablespoon coconut oil. This makes enough for only 1 use so if you'd like to have a supply of it make a lot more! Oh and if you don't like the smell of coconut don't try this.

Extra: I recommend the St. Ives Apricot Scrub for a hypoallergenic,non-comedogenic, & no parabens or phthalates face soap. It can be more on the abrasive side though so it's not the best for a daily cleanse.

Rice Pack for Sore Muscles

Need something for sore muscles?

 I'm a dancer so my muscles are constantly sore & for them I have a great DIY home remedy called rice packs they are very easy and cheap to make!

Things you need:

-Bag of minute rice 

-Sewing supplies 

-Fabric 

Instructions: Take your fabric and cut it whatever size you prefer 

Next sew the two sides inside out. (for a cleaner look) Make sure you leave the top open to fill with rice 

Flip it back from inside out to the regular side.Then fill with rice a little over halfway.

Last sew your rice pack! Then you can heat your rice pack for 2 minutes! You can also put your rice pack in the freezer and can use as a ice pack! Enjoy! 

Face Mask for Oily Skin

Is oily skin your problem?

I recently wanted to try a face mask on pintrest, so this weekend I decided I would! I chose a face mask for oily skin, and I got great results! The mask I chose is also good for acne and would not break me out! www.pintrest.com

Ingredients

Lemon juice & egg white

Instructions

mix lemon juice and egg white together (like a paste) and apply to your face. When it dries completely you know its time to remove. Rinse the mask off with warm water. It great to repeat this mask every so often! - A :)
