Hapa Time (F.O.A) - Freedom of Association Diary of A Singaporean Mind Exfoliating Body Scrub Morning Bump! Originally posted on 10/19/2011: I had a proud “Mom Moment” last week when my daughter decided to give making her own Body Scrub a try. Believe me, I don’t take credit for that girl’s incredible intelligence (well, maybe a teeny, tiny bit), but I do like to think I’ve been an example of how easy it is and how much sense it makes to make your own products for home, health and beauty. I’ve never been one to use body scrubs with any regularity. As a matter of fact, this was probably only the 2nd or 3rd time I’ve tried one…..EVER. Last week we were making preparations for my son’s wedding when Britta came across the idea of making her own body scrub as a special pampering treatment before the big day. She LOVED the results! The “RECIPE” is basically a 2-to-1 ratio of sugar to coconut oil and as many drop of essential oil as you like. You should end up with something looking like this. Wow!

Rambling Librarian :: Incidental Thoughts of a Singapore Liblogarian TIPPED OUT all photos: Kristin Ess + thebeautydepartment.com post designed by kristin ess Lots of emails this week asking for a tutorial on Lauren’s temporary bright colors. Here I’ve replicated the process for you in 7 steps on an extension. While I never recommend bleaching out the ends of your hair at home, if you want to do the fun colors yourself, maybe get the tips bleached out by a pro + then play with the temporary colors on your own. TOOLS: highlighting comb, clips, foils, color brush, hair bleach with the appropriate volume (always seek a professional when using bleach), light pink color, dark pink color, light blue, dark blue, clear gloss. Step 1 Highlight the tips of the hair using hair bleach with the correct volume. Step 2 Fold up your foil and let it process until it reaches a pale blonde. Step 3 Shampoo and lightly condition bleach out of the hair. Step 4 Blow hair completely dry. Step 5 Place the hair on a foil. XX Kristin Ess Related posts:

BE FRENCH Critique Ciné du 8 Avril 2014 Nebraska : Woody Grant (Bruce Dern) est persuadé d’avoir gagné un million de dollars, après avoir reçu un tirage au sort publicitaire. Chaque jour, il part de chez lui, tentant de rejoindre la ville de Lincoln dans le Nebraska, où il pense pouvoir retirer son gain. Alexander Payne nous laissait en 2011 avec un émouvant The Descendants qui traitait déjà du thème du père vis à vis de ses enfants. En résumé, Nebraska est un film touchant, qui aborde le thème de la vieillesse à travers le regard généreux et parfois drôle d’un fils. Note Be French : 12/20 Critique Ciné du 6 Avril 2014 La Crème de la Crème : Après Sheitan et Dog Pound, Kim Chapiron revient avec une nouvelle bande de jeunes marginaux : le Club des amateurs de cigares. La Crème de la Crème est un film intéressant qu’il faut prendre le temps d’analyser et de comprendre. Note Be French : 14/20 Johnny Cash fait encore parler de lui…
