Homemade pore strips! Steps 1-2: First take one spoon of milk and one of Unflavored Gelatin (it works with flavored too!).
Mix it very well, and then microwave for about 15 seconds. Step 3: Place the mixture over your nose and wait for about 30 minutes, peel it of and you are done! Hope you have a lovely weekend! Hugs, Monica. Www.loveumadly.com/2012/08/crystal-light-beauty-products/ Last weekend, I met a family friend’s lovely girlfriend for the first time.
She’s a nutritionist, so naturally I pounced on her. What are foods to absolute avoid? What do you think of that Paelo diet? What do you eat as a snack – and don’t you dare tell me carrots! I highly doubt this is how she wanted to spend her Sunday in the Hamptons, but I was relentless. So what’s a girl to do with all her extra Crystal Light (because we know I’m not giving up my Diet Coke so fast)? Crystal Light Lip Gloss Materials: Vaseline or Un-Petroleum Jelly Crystal Light (I used Cherry Pomegranate and Raspberry Lemonade) (Kool-Aid apparently work as well, but I haven’t tried) a small container (i charmed a salesperson at Sephora and they gave me a bunch of these) a mixing tool (I used a plastic knife after my q-tip got too goopy) Fill the empty small container with your Un-Petroleum Jelly.
(DIY Source: How Does She) DIY: Lip Tint Using Loose Pigment. Hi!
Well, it's time for our first tutorial, and here it is: a simple, easy lip tint using items you probably have around the house. So let's jump right in: Here's what you'll need: (plus a source of heat- lighter, stove, even a microwave {if using a microwave, swap out the spoon for a microwavable container} & always remember to be careful!) Eyeball your container, and scoop out what you think you'll need to fill the container. At most, the Aquaphor (Vaseline works too!) Hover the spoon over your heat source/ flame or microwave in increments of 20 secs. Add some pigment (a.k.a. loose eyeshadow- loose blush works too!) Continue heating and stirring the Aquaphor until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Pour the mix into the container and set in a cool place ( fridge, maybe?)
Ain't it pretty? We absolutely loved making this tutorial and (especially) the tint! The Oil Cleansing Method & How to Minimize Blackheads. This summer I shared my new hair cleansing routine, the No-Poo Method as well as my recipe for super cheap (read: pennies per load) homemade laundry soap.
Well, I’m happy to report that I’m still practicing at least one out of the two: The Homemade Laundry Soap lives on and is working quite well for us. John has even mentioned how fresh and clean our clothes have been, so we’ll be sticking to it for now. The No-Poo Method, however, died a few weeks ago. I went two months strong with NO shampoo and NO conditioner - a sheer miracle for this grease ball – opting instead for baking soda and apple cider vinegar washes as “shampoo” and “conditioner” respectively. While I did find that my hair was fresh, clean, more voluminous and produced less oil, what didn’t work for me was the tangling issue.
Needless to say, the No-Poo method is a great, natural hair cleansing method for some people, it just isn’t for me. Another fun hair tip for my fitness friends? OK, onto the Oil Cleansing Method.
