Beauty Hacks Using Food!

 
Who would've thought food wasn't just for eating. Over the past couple of years I have found new ways to use the foods that I eat. If you do not like using products for your skin or your hair, don't worry I got you! If you're into natural ingredients I have a few alternatives for you. 

Lemons 
This is great way to lighten those darken elbows or underarms. I was kind of shocked when I saw it actually works. If you want to use the lemon as a scrub, just add regular sugar to it. I wouldn't use that as a facial though because regular sugar is hard, so that would probably be painful. If you don't want to use lemons, I hear potatoes are a great substitute!

Eggs
Eggs are protein and it's a good source of nutrients. Not only that but it's great for the skin and hair. You can make a face mask or a hair mask. I don't really know which one is more gross, but they will get the job done!

Bananas
If you prefer not to use eggs, I wouldn't blame you. As a substitute you can use Bananas! I don't know about using them for your hair, but their great for you skin. You can definitely use Bananas for another face mask ingredient! You're will have a soft feeling and look very hydrated.
Cucumbers
If you experience puffy eyes, cucumbers are here to assist you. I hear people saying this really works. Well, this is what I think. While cucumbers do soothe your eyes and minimize the puffiness, it doesn't completely go away. The rest is up to you! You need to get a good nights sleep. 

Mayonnaise 
I love mayonnaise on my sandwich not my hair. Because of the fat and protein mayo has its good for helping your hair become or stay healthy. It's also know to make your hair shiny. 
 
I hope you found these hacks helpful! If you already use these hacks or have some of your own. let me know.

  2. I love the lemon tip but it's best not to use it on your face.
    Sugar and olive oil mixed together makes for a great DIY lip scrub!

Finding My Passion For Blogging Again

  At some point in time, when your heart isn’t into something you should take a break. Blogging is great and I couldn’t see myself without it. However sometimes it can get overwhelming and that’s what happened to me this year. For about eight months I have not blogged and I thought I was a bad person for that. I have realized that it was best to take the long break. In doing so, I have found so many things I love to talk about. I was holding myself back because I put a label on myself, wanting to be known as a beauty blogger. Sure I attached the lifestyle part, but honestly I don’t really know what that means.  During this year I had time to reflect on where I wanted my blog to go and whether I even wanted to write anymore. Honestly the motivation to blog was not there at all and at that time, I really didn’t care if I continued. I did not want to look at my blog or deal with it. For me I was tired of putting in the work and not getting anything in return. Meaning no ...

E.l.f. Eye Brushes

Although this haul is very small, I just wanted to share with you what I brought. I decided to buy brushes, because I needed them more! The first brushes I were eco-friendly and were really good, but their were more face brushes, then eye brushes. So that wasn't really helpful to me. It was only one eye shadow brush. I rarely shop online, I always go to the store. But I was bored one day and I guess this is what happened! I am really excited to try these brushes! I also brought some things from BH cosmetics, but that's for another post! Eye Shadow Brush The eye shadow brush is supposed to help apply the eye shadow evenly and make it easier. This sounds good, because the brushes I used in the past were tough and hard. It seemed like I had to put a lot of eye shadow on, before it actually showed up on my eyes. Blending Eye Brush This brush is supposed to blend the eye shadows, while softening dramatic edges and lines. This is really good, because before I h...
