DIY: Home made bronzer

How to make your own portable bronzer compact:

Choose an Empty Makeup Case

Locate your case. I had an empty makeup case from ages ago that I had kept for future use. Wash it out.

Pour in Cinnamon

Pour some cinnamon into the case (Not too much) 

Add Sugar (Powdered) 

Pour some powdered sugar into the case. The amount will depend on how light you want the mixture to be for your skin. Mix Together the powders. I used a paint brush for this part. Add an Essential Oil to the mix. Only to firm the powers together and smell good! Apply and Enjoy Apply with a brush and enjoy! This project is a great way to bronze your skin with some items from around your house. 

Note: This is basically a loose powder, so carrying it around in your purse isn’t the best idea! This is more for if you run out, or don’t want to use any your prized brands for a day at the beach, etc.

DIY: Hair spray for thin or dry hair

• 1 Lemon

• 2 Cups of Water

Quantity:  Makes about 1 to 1 1/2 cups of Lemon Hair Spray.

To Make:  Chop up the Lemon in a wooden bowl so that you don’t lose any of the juice.  Add the chopped Lemon to the water in the top of a double boiler.  Simmer the mixture until the liquid has been reduced by half.  Strain through cheesecloth or fine silk cloth and pour the liquid into a bottle that will fit a pump-type sprayer.  A washed and rinsed Windex bottle will do for your spray container.  Add 1/2 cup of water to thin the mixture if necessary.

To Use:  Spray your hair with this mixture whenever necessary.  Since it is gentle, with not alcohol or chemical additions, it can be used on children’s hair too.  Should be made fresh every few days and kept in the fridge between uses.

Note:  One cup of the Lemon Hair Spray can be preserved with 1 oz. or more of Bay Rum.

Note No. 2:  Substitute an Orange for the Lemon for dry hair.

Product Review: Simple Hydrating Moisturizer

This product is AMAZING. Even the light moisturizer works very well, and if you have dry skin I would suggest using the rich moisturizer. This brand also makes a night and day cream that work great. It goes on very light and doesn’t weigh down the skin. It contains no dyes or fragrances, so it shouldn’t irritate the skin! I use this every morning and every night after removing all of my makeup. 

This is sold at most department stores and costs around $10.00. I guarantee it’s worth the price!
