Homemade Beauty: Lavender Facial Toner

Lavender is in bloom right now, so it is the perfect time to make this natural (and cheap!) DIY facial toner!
Ingredients:
1 Tbs lavender buds
1 cup pure witch hazel
6 drops lavender essential oil
1 cup distilled water

Directions:
  1. Combine the witch hazel, lavender buds, and essential oil in an air tight jar and store in a cool, dark location for 2 weeks.  Shake the jar vigorously every day while the lavender is steeping.
  2. After 2 weeks, strain out the lavender buds using a fine mesh strainer or cheese cloth.
  3. Add 1 cup distilled water and mix.
  4. Can be stored at room temperature and is best if used within 12 months of preparation.

Emerald Isle Pics

I have been asked to post some more of my personal pictures of Emerald Isle since the last post I made, I actually haven't had the opportunity to go back since I got my new camera (and laptop) so I don't have any current pictures. I do happen to have some pictures of the beach (it was early spring and early in the morning, so they are kind of bland) that we went to on a school trip that is just a short distance up the island.  I hope you like them!! :) I PROMISE I will post some more (better ones) as soon as I can!

What's in My... Shower Bag

This is my  Shower Bag , I just sit this whole bag in the shower whenever we go somewhere so everything is together. And then when we leave I put the whole thing into a gallon sized sandwich bag so it doesn't get anything else wet! In the back of the bag if you look closely you will see that I bring a few samples.

In case my face gets sunburned and I don't want to use one of my harsher cleansers. Lastly I have a few little packs of Swimmer's Hair Treatment to mix with my conditioner. It gets all of the gunk out of your hair that could potentially turn Blond into green! I bring is my little Travel Sized Garnier Fructis Shampoo and Conditioner. They are the perfect size for my trip!   I have the Bath and Body Works Butterfly Flower Body Wash mini The St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub Baby Oil, for shavin...

Walmart Beauty Box: Fall

I have been getting the Walmart Beauty Brandshare Box for two seasons now, and I really like it!  It is a $5 quarterly subscription, and you more than get your money's worth! This was my view as soon as I opened the box... I was already super excited!  There was so much stuff! The first thing I had to grab was this razor, because I was so excited to see it! Razors can be expensive, and I was sent this one for a fraction of a dollar! I have been using since receiving it, and it is a really nice razor.  It gives a close shave, but hasn't cut me.  It also has built in shave gel to give another layer of protection! I have owned this hairspray before, and it works pretty well, but it's not my favorite.  Overall though, it doesn't have a horrible smell and is a nice size! This self tanner looks a little orange and is a bit to glittery for my liking... I really enjoy Jergens self-tanner, and I like a certain amount of shimmer on my legs,...
