Blogmas Day 5: DIY Winter Lemon Lip Scrub!


During the holidays you find a lot of sales, but on some products the prices can go up. With everyone trying to buy presents and other festive items you want to save as much money as possible. I love DIY posts because I learn something new and I can save money if I'm on a budget. So with that being said, I don't know about you but I experience dry skin and my lips get chapped during the winter. It's important for me to keep my skin healthy looking and moisturized! So I came up with a Scrub of my own, that I wanted to share with you. Now I know there are probably others scrubs like the one I'm sharing, but this is my version. 
 
This is a Lemon Scrub that is great to use for dry chapped lip. It will exfoliate them, leaving you with a smooth feeling. The ingredients in this scrub are is the zest of a lemon, lemon juice, sugar, and olive oil. I chose to use the juice of a lemon because it great for healthy skin looking skin. I am using olive oil because it softens the skin and keep it moisturized. The lemon zest is for the fragrance or "smell" and the sugar is there to act as the actual scrub component, if that makes any sense. 
 
Ingredients 
Lemon zest (The Whole Lemon)
1 tsp. Lemon Juice
2 tsp. Olive Oil
5 tbsp. Sugar
 
Directions
You can use a mason jar on a container depending on how much you choose to make. I use a small container. Side note: I brought the little containers and bottles from CVS, I believe it was about $6. There travel size bottles to put lotions, shampoos and conditioners in but I use it to make scrubs! So after you pour everything into the same container or jar mix it together and that's it. I know it's simple but it makes a huge difference. 
 
I hope you enjoyed reading and let me know what kind of homemade scrubs you like to use!

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...
