DIY INSTA-TAN


I remember when I was younger and has the best tan ever, then I grew up (and became reliant on my jeans) and now I have some super white legs. 

With this Super easy and Super cheap homemade self-tanning spray I'm back in my shorts. =)

 Supplies-
  • 4 black tea bags
  • 2 cups boiling water
Sponge or spray bottle (Either sponge it on or spray it on and rub in)
Put the 2 cups of water in a pot and bring it to a boil, turn the stove off and put the 4 tea bags in and leave for 10 to 15 minutes.
If using a sponge, soak it in the tea and wipe all over your body. 
If using a spray bottle, fill it and spray on your body and rub in.
Let your skin dry and then apply another coat if you want a darker shade. 
For a warmer tan:
  • Cocoa powder
  • Body lotion

If you want that extra warm glow in your color, slowly mix a little bit of cocoa powder at a time with a handful of body lotion. When your are comfortable with the light brown color, apply it all over your skin.
*Make sure that you are dry when putting clothes on so that they don’t stain.

Tan should last for 3 to 4 days!

Homemade Make-up: Foundation/ Bronzer/ Blush/ Eye Shadow

I've found that making my own makeup has not only saved me money, but also helped my skin. I like using a cleaned out or new spice container for my loose powders. You just simply shake once, open the lid and take your powder from the lid. For Loose Powder- Mix together then store in a spice jar, make-up container, or an old compact.  Pressed Powder- If you want to make it a more solid base so that only a little sticks to the brush, use a few drops of essential oil or rubbing alcohol to mix with the powder and push down in a compact. This will make it hard like a regular compact. Creamy/ Liquid- If you want a more creamy product, add  some homemade or scent free lotion, petroleum  jelly, or coconut oil. (I prefer coconut oil, I whip it with my little handheld mixer before adding. It makes for a much easier application). Store in jar with lid or pump. You can also add this combination to some homemade or scent free lotion, petroleum  jelly, or coconut oil to make a

DIY SIMPLE Toothpaste that Whitens and Renews

What is one thing I absolutely LOVE?? That's right! Coconut Oil. What do you need? Coconut Oil (Of course) Baking Soda Essential Oils. Mix together in a zip lock container, or a small Tupperware dish with lid. As far as proportions... Wing it. I normally put a little more baking soda than the oil to make it a bit thicker, and rinse with Peroxide. I have seen several posts about baking soda and peroxide tooth pastes, but MEH, I'll stick with my way. This Toothpaste combines the benefits of everything: oil pulling for detox, baking soda for whitening, and Peroxide for even more whitening! OH, and when you are done- SMILE! It's always nice to have beautiful teeth. =)
