DIY Beach Spray

 I always wanted the Beach Spray for your hair that gives you the just came off of the beach wavy look, but there so dang expensive! So this is a recipe you can use to make your own! 

Things You'll Need



  • Plastic spray bottle
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 8 oz. water
  • 1/2 - 1 tsp. coconut oil, olive oil or light conditioner
  • Lemon Juice
  • 3 drops essential oil (optional)
Instructions
  • Pour water into the plastic spray bottle.
  • Add sea salt, NOT table salt. The more salt you add, the more "crunchy," textured and beach like your hair will feel.
  • Add moisturizer to combat the drying factor of the salt. Use coconut oil, olive oil or light conditioner. Avoid adding more than a teaspoon because it can weigh down your hair.
  • Add a few drops of lemon juice to your mixture if you plan on being out in the sun at all. Cute hair and highlights, Score! :)
  • Add essential oil for fragrance and additional benefits. Choose your favorite oil based on scent and healing properties. (optional)
  • Replace the top to the bottle, closing tightly. Shake the bottle and its ingredients vigorously to get the ingredients to mix, otherwise the oil will remain on the surface and the salt on the bottom. You will also need to shake the bottle before each use.
  • Store the mixture in the fridge when not in use. (This is a MANDATORY step, I didn't think it was a big deal and skipped it one time... bad idea. Who knew water could mold? ;) 
I hope it works for you as great as it does for me!

My Petal Club

A new box!  And a PERIOD subscription box at that!  I love finding new boxes to try out, especially when they are this affordable!  This box is normally $6.99 per month, but if you use the discount code "SUMMER" on mypetalclub.com , this box will be only $3.50!  And let's be honest, one box of pads/tampons is usually more expensive than that, so why not give it a try?? So this box primarily consists of just the period products with very few extras.  This isn't one of the present, feel-good kind of boxes, it just provides you with the necessary products to get through the month, at an affordable price. Step One The first thing you do on their website is choose the combination of products you will need.  Be warned, you aren't given as much of a selection if you order through Cratejoy like I did.  It worked totally fine and I still got the products I needed, but I like choice!  So I suggest going straight through their website....

Nadine West: Third Shipment

Another Nadine West bag!  This is such a fun little bag, and I have really looked forward to every one thus far! These are the Simple Sparkles "diamond" stud earrings.  Though these are very cute and I actually kinda wanted to keep them, I have too many pair that are too similar.  These did retail for $6.49 though, which is suuuuper reasonable. This is the Make a Wish necklace.  I wanted to like this based off of the name, but it just really isn't my style!  I don't feel like I can pull off a crown necklace/princess persona...  But anyway, this retails for $17.99, which I feel is a bit much for cheap jewelry. This is the Constance top.  It is like a baby pink chevron cami, and I wasn't into this really.  I have enough camis, and am not really into printed ones, so this just wasn't my style.  This retailed for $9.49, which isn't too bad Fianlly, we have the Zipped floral romper, and as you might have guessed it has a zipp...
