DIY Of The Week: Depuff And Brighten Your Under Eyes Instantly!

Lets face it, the holidays can be both fun and stressful at the same time. The days seem to only get shorter and your list of to do's only get longer. I show this stress in my eyes, they get so puffy and dark that it looks like someone punched me in both eyes.

One of my favorite ingredients for skin lightning (brightening) are in this amazing mask. Use it and let me know if you love it as much as I do!

Mix together banana and potato and add just a squeeze of lemon juice. Place mixture in the fridge for 10-30 minutes before applying under the eyes. Make sure you don’t get any in your eyes when applying. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before removing gently with a wet towel. Repeat up to Three times a week if needed.

Sleep You Way To Super Soft Feet!

Feet are one of the most neglected body parts, we worry about our face, hair, body and very rarely our feet. Not realizing that it takes a lot of upkeep to make sure you can wear gorgeous heels and still have soft feet and sometimes too much neglect can lead to really cracked and dry feet, NOT cute! It takes me one little trick! Of course visiting your local salon is always a good idea, but this super simple tip is one of my faves of all time!


Tools:

Vaseline
Vitamin E Caspule/liquid
Socks
Scissors

Start by rinsing your feet with warm water, then pat dry. Next, place a quarter-size amount of Vaseline in your hands, then drop a few droplets of vitamin E. Work together between your hands and slather generously on your feet, one foot at a time. Then cut the toes off of your socks, and wear over night. Rinse off in the morning and go!

I highly recommend cutting the toes off, as wearing this night after night could case fungal infections to the nail. Goo Luck! Xxx

Coconut Cream Hair Mask!

  This mask is Ahhhhmazing!! Just tried it and I looove it! I also like that my hair didn’t smell bad after I washed it, which is always a bit tough with homemade hair recipes! This one seriously takes the cake for extreme moisture and gorgeousness!

The ingredients in this hair mask also promote hair growth and healthy scalp, BUT may make your hair a bit relaxed. This is not recommended for extremely fine hair, as it might make your hair took to greasy.

DEEP MOISTURE COCONUT CREAM HAIR MASKIngredients:

1/2 cup coconut cream
2 tablespoons sweet almond oil or avocado oil (I used both together)

Mix together ingredients very well, make sure oil and cream are blended. Then apply generously to hair and cover with a plastic hair wrap. Let sit for 30 minutes and wash! Good Luck Xxx

Thicker Lashes!

I'm going to be honest with you guys, as much as I love makeup I was never into wearing fake lashes. That is until a few years ago and boyyyy am I obsessed with them now. But they can also thin out your own, the applying and removing can weaken your own lashes and we don't want that! I mixed up this little recipe and I can't recommend this enough, I truly love it and it has really made a difference to my own lashes. Try this and let me know how it work for you. 

Lash Repair:

Ingredients

2 parts Vaseline
1 part Coconut Oil
1 part Castor Oil

Mix all ingredients together, and then with a disposable mascara wand (you can get them at most cosmetic stores) or a toothbrush, gently brush the mixture onto your lashes. Let sit for about 15 minutes then again gently remove excess mixture. If you have any residue from the mixture left on your lashes, it’s ok, just make sure that it won’t move into your eyes as you sleep! You will start noticing a change after a few weeks! Good Luck Xxx

Dry Skin Sucks!

 This has been the hardest winter EVER for my skin! I don't know if its the fact that I'm getting older, the water is harsher, or the lotions I'm using straight up SUCK! But I have tried everything to keep my skin hydrated and smooth, and this is the only recipe that never fails.

BODY YOGURT SCRUB:
1/4 cup baby oil
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon yogurt
1 teaspoon honey (optional)

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, then work into body in a circular motion. Leave mixture on before rinsing for 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water. The oil should still be on your body when you rinse, but if it is not, add some more oil and then your favorite moisturizer for super soft skin! Good Luck Xxx

A Spoon Of Beauty

Add a spoonful of flaxseed to your cereal or smoothie every morning! Super easy way to add some beauty to your day! Good Luck Xxx

Awesome Cellulite Scrub!

 It seems that every woman, no matter how genetically blessed has at least one dimple some where, if not a few hundred! I always thought I would be dimple free, but that was just a fairy tale! I was trying to find a natural home scrub and found this one, and I must admit that I'm in love. It feels so nice on my skin and I can actually feel it working plus the smell of coffee made me feel refreshed and awake! I don't drink coffee but if someone was to tell me that drinking it will vanish my celullite I would start jugging it down! try it and let me know how you like it! Good Luck Xxx

Awesome Cellulite Body Scrub:

2 Cups Ground Coffee
1 Cup Brown Sugar
4 Tablespoons Olive Oil or Almond Oil (I use more than 4 tablespoons, and baby oil)

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and use the scrub in the shower. Make sure to be careful to wash scrub off well, as the coffee could stain towel or clothing if not rinsed well.  Feel free to add essential oils if desired as well!
