Homemade Beauty... Kool-aid Lipgloss

You Will Need:

1 tub of petroleum jelly (Vaseline)

1 package of Kool-Aid drink mix (use your favorite flavor!)

About 10 lip gloss containers or small tubs to put the lip gloss into

Directions:

Put 1 cup of Vaseline into a microwave safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 30-second increments (stir between each heating) until the Vaseline is melted into liquid form. It should take around 7 to 8 minutes.
Once the Vaseline is liquid (be careful, it will be very hot!!!), remove the bowl from the microwave and slowly stir in Kool-Aid until you get the color you want--the more you add the darker the color, so add it in gradually. Keep stirring the Kool-Aid until the crystals are totally dissolved in the Vaseline.
Pour the mixture into lip gloss containers or airtight tubs. Let it set for a few hours to allow the gloss to solidify.
You're Done!! :)

Let's Talk...

I feel so bad, I have been such a flake with posting recently and the past month is when I should have been really focused on getting out content, because.... My summer classes started this week. And they are intense. Like, more so than I expected and I'm only a week in. Also, I just got my Summer schedule for the daycare I work at, and instead of my normal 9:30-5:30, I was switched to 6:00-12:30 ... That is a huge difference, I've never gotten up that early in my life! It is a lot better in some ways because I now have my full days free, but it's a difficult sleep schedule to get used to. As a result, I've been spending my mornings at work, and my evenings doing homework, or attempting to have a social life... This is my last Summer before college after all, so I want to have fun! But it just makes things more difficult when I need to be in bed early for work, balance homework, and then there is this blog. I love having this...

Sunburn Relief

Even when you wear sunscreen, sometimes the inevitable happens and you get the dreaded sunburn... So what should you do? I have a few suggestions of the best way to be as comfortable as possible while you recover! 1.) Pain Reliever First things first, as soon as you discover your sunburn head to the medicine cabinet and take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as Ibuprofen or Advil. These are anti-inflammatory medications which will help to reduce swelling and pressure from the sunburn, which will relive some of the pain. 2.) Hydrate The second most helpful thing you can possibly do is drink water! The sun has sucked all of the moisture from your skin, and it is literally begging for you to replenish it. Try to drink just water, since it is better for you and more hydrating than juice or sodas. 3.) Take a Bath Try to limit yourself to no more that 30 minutes, but that thirty minutes can do wonders for your...

College Countdown: Basic College Packing List

In this list I'm not going to go over every single thing. Throughout this week I will do separate posts on Clothing and Makeup etc. On Saturday of this week I will post a concise version of this including everything mentioned. For now I would just like to go over basics such as kitchen items, "school supplies" and other items you may not have thought of! Kitchen These are basics that you might need if you are in a dorm and do not necessarily have a kitchen. I will have a sink, so it will be doable for me to wash dishes as needed. If you do not have a sink you might consider buying disposable silverware and dishes so you won't have to wash them in the bathroom. Plastic Bowls Plastic Cups Tumblers or Reusable Water Bottles - I recommend this regardless of if you have a sink. Brita Pitcher - The water will probably be different from what you are used to, and this will make the transition easier Ice Cube Trays Plastic Ice Cubes - If the water is jus...
