Fix a Self Tanning Mistake!

So you decided to try Self-Tanning for the first time, or maybe you are an old pro! You apply/spray it on, wait for the color to develop, take a look in the mirror and discover.... Oooooh no! You are covered in orange streaks!

Well don't worry about it :) I have a little DIY Self Tanning Mistake Fixer that will fade it away and leave you feeling refreshed!

Ingredients:

1 lemon

¼ cup sugar

¼ cup sea salt

¼ cup baking soda

Instructions:

1.) Mix sugar, sea salt, and baking soda in a small bowl

2.) Cut the lemon in half

3.) Dip the exposed side of the lemon into the mixture

Now, gently rub the lemon slice along any streaky and blotchy areas of your body. Another method is to squeeze the lemon juice directly into the mixture and apply the paste to streaky areas with your hands, a loofah, or a washcloth.The lemon is going to lighten your self-tanner streaks and the sugar, sea salt, and baking soda will exfoliate.

Try to do this as soon as possible after the mistake, because the sooner you realize it, the sooner you can fix it!

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...

Homemade Beauty... De-Puff Tired Eyes

Have you ever tried Green tea before? Personally I am not a huge fan, but it can be a great way to decrease puffiness around your eyes! Buy the iced tea version, mix up a batch, and to stick it in the fridge. After it has chilled, soak a couple of cotton rounds in the tea and lay them on your eyes. The caffeine helps to shrink the appearance of the blood vessels, and the antioxidants help eliminate inflammation. Another great option to de-puff your eyes are slices of raw potato. Just peel, slice, and chill them before applying to the eye area. The potato acts as a natural astringent and will take down the swelling! :) Credit to: http://www.seventeen.com/beauty/tips/diy-beauty-treatments#slide-1

Popsugar: January

Though this box wasn't as good as December in my opinion, I am still loving this! These are so much fun!! I would like to apologize for my photography skills this time though... I was trying to hurry and shoot these before I left to come back to school a few weeks ago and I let quality slip. I'll do my best not to let it happen again! The theme words for January were new, fresh, detox, motivation, healthy, and revitalize. That seems pretty standard for January, everyone is making an attempt at getting healthier for their new years resolutions! This is the Daily Concepts Hair Wrap towel. I'd seen these before at every grocery and beauty store while they were super popular, but I'd never really bought into it. They are supposed to cut drying time and reduce frizz, so I guess we can give this a shot! Though from first glance taking it out of its case, I'm not totally sure how to use it... Anyway, this retails for $18 on the Daily ...
