DIY Oatmeal Facial Cleanser

Pin It Now!


So I am going to share with you the recipe for an AMAZING skin cleanser that works with all skin types!

My secret? Oatmeal.



I'm good for your inside and outside!
Oatmeal is a great natural beauty product, it can relieve itchiness, redness (also acne scars), dryness, and other minor skin irritations. It doesn't have the chemicals in many cleansers that strip the skin of its natural moisture. 


And to make it? All you need is pure Oatmeal, simple no?


Now this cleanser is incredibly easy to make, I start with a handful of oatmeal, then with my fist clenched I run hot water over my hand and through my fingers to make the oatmeal warm and soft!

Now I take the milk that appears from the oatmeal, drain it into my other hand and use that to wet my face.




Next I even the oatmeal between my two hands, I gently massage the oatmeal all over my face and my neck. I keep massaging it for about three minutes to let it moisturize my skin!

Lastly I rinse off the oats, pat lightly with a towel and I let my skin glow! It really is amazing how ingredients that are found in everyone's kitchen can be so good for your skin!

I've also used this cleanser as a hand scrub because it is excellent at keeping my dry hands from cracking. And now they look healthier and are oh-so soft!


Stay Chic,

DIY Zig-Zag Nails!

Pin It Now!
Good Evening Ladies!

So I've been getting really into the Chevron/Zig-Zag trend that has been dominating the fashion industry lately. I decided to go forward with my obsession this past Fourth of July and the London Olympics!

I got so many compliments!

Now before you start digging out your specialty nail brushes and stress, I'll help you out!

Materials:
-Your favorite red, white, and blue nail polish. (Or any really) 
-Clear coat
-Painters tape
-Zig Zag Craft Scissors 
-Painters tape


1. To start, take your white nail polish (or base coat) and paint two coats

2. Before you continue make sure your nails are COMPLETELY DRY, this is really important.

3. Now tear off a piece of painters tape to cover your nail.

4. On the two parallel straight sides (not the side you teared, but the top and bottom) use the scissors to cut the top and bottom off.
If the rectangle is your piece of tape, the blue portion after cutting it what you place on the center of your nails.



5. Take the middle piece and lay across the center of your nail. (Cut more and repeat for remaining nails)

6. Paint your top and bottom color!

7. When the nail polish is dry, carefully peel back the tape.

8. Seal with a top coat, and Tada! Beautiful nails!

Stay Chic,
