Unrelated, but fun:)

So, drum roll, I got an iPad!!! If you care it's an iPad 2 in white. So, I can post more, because I can post anywhere! Talk to you soon, Bye!

Face Wash! Removes Make-Up And Cleanses!

Hi There! Yes, I Am Going To Tell You How To Make This For All Three Skin Types, But I Am Also Going To Tell You About The Oil Cleansing Method, And How To Use. You Will Need:

1. Caster Oil — found in the laxative section of your grocery store

2. Sunflower Oil or Olive Oil – we’re using sunflower oil

3. A small plastic bottle with tight sealing cap – I found mine in the travel-size section for 89 cents

To Make:


       For Oily Skin: Mix Two Parts Caster Oil With One Part Sunflower Or Olive Oil


       For Dry Skin: Mix One Part Caster Oil With Two Parts Sunflower Or Olive Oil


       For Normal Skin: Mix One Part Caster Oil With One Part Sunflower Or Olive Oil.

Using the Oil Cleansing Method

• Pour a quarter-size amount of the oil mixture into your hand

• Gently massage the oil into your skin for about one minute

• Run a clean washcloth under very warm water

• Lay washcloth over your face and let it sit for another minute – this is key to “steaming” the impurities out of your pores

• Rinse washcloth and gently rub the remaining oil, dirt, make-up, and residue off your face

• Repeat rinsing if necessary

• Enjoy really smooth and moisturized skin with out the need for lotion!

Why I LOVE the Oil Cleansing Method

.

1. It’s really inexpensive. If you already have sunflower oil or olive oil in the house, your total expense will probably be less than $3.00. And you’ll be able to make enough face wash to last you for many months!

2. It removes make up. The oils naturally remove makeup, so you won’t need to buy pricey makeup removers anymore.

3. It’s SO moisturizing.I have been using this method for almost a month now and have only used face lotion a few times {compare to multiple times every day}.

4. I feel like I’m at the spa. When I have the hot washcloth on my face, steaming my pore, it feels like a mini facial.

5. I only have to wash my face once per day. I use the oil cleansing method at night, when I’m in the shower. Then in the morning, I simply splash warm water on my face.

6. It’s all natural. Even though I’m still not a hard-core “green” gal, I do think it’s important to reduce the amount of chemicals we put into our bodies and on our skin. So I love that I’m using a product that are safe to eat!

7. It makes my skin feel so soft. Like I said earlier, my skin has never looked better — and this is reason enough for me!!

Cinnamon Chritmas Ornaments * Smells Delicious *

Okay, Well, I'm Sure You've Been Seeing SO MANY Differnt DIY Cristmas Ornaments, And Not Knowing Which On To Pick. I Have. So I Made About 20 Differnt Ones, And This Was My Favorite. It Looks Cute, And Is Smells Great. All Of The Footage Was NOT Taken By Me. My Camera Was Not Accesible At The Time, So I Am Using The Images From The Original Blog. So Here It Is!

You will need the following ingredients:
2 cups (by glass measuring cup) UNSWEETENED applesauce - nothing fancy. I got mine at our local dollar store
Finely grated rind of 1 orange
1 teaspoon orange extract (plus more for later)
2 1/4 cups ground cinnamon (use the cheapest that you can find - again I got mine at the 
    dollar store)
1/4 cup ground ginger
1/4 cup ground cardamon (or other spice)

Here is a list of tools needed:
glass mixing bowl                measuring cups
measuring spoons              wooden spoon
cookie sheets                        rolling pin
cookie cutters                        drinking straw or wooden skewer
bows, imitation silk cording (opt)




1. Put Grated Ornage Zest, Applesaue, And Orange Extrat Together In The Glass Mixing Bowl And Mix Well.







2.  Add Cinnamon, Ginger, And Cardamon.





3.Mix well with the wooden spoon. You may need to use your hands. If mixture is too dry to hold together, add a few drops of orange extract. You are looking for the mixture to be clay-like.





4.Sprinkle surface with a little cinnamon. Roll mixture with rolling pin until it's about 1/4 inch thick.





5.Using your cookie cutters, cut out desired shapes and transfer to cookie sheet. Using a drinking straw or skewer, make a hole in your ornament. In The Picture, Gingerbread Men Are Shown. I Made Mine In The Shape Of Snowflakes.





6. Allow to air dry - turning every 12 hrs until hard and a finger nail doesn't leave a mark. This may take several days, depending on how warm your home is, and the humidity of the weather. To hasten this part, you can place the ornaments in a 250 degree oven for about 1 1/2 hours. Turn oven off. If you have an oven light, turn it on and leave it on. 





7. Thread about 6 inches of the cording through the hole and tie a knot. This will be the hanger. Add a miniature bow, if desired and you are done!





Wa-La! I Didnt Add The Bow, But Im Sure It Would Look Just As Good If I Did Like The Person That Took The Picture. Enjoy!
